    FB&A A Soul of Ash and Blood Chap 12-22 | Murder Island

    Come join us as we read through "A Soul of Ash and Blood" book 5 of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 12-22! We dive deep into the book, talking about theories we have about the book, Cas, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond! In this episode we continue to read in Casteel's POV as Cas is talking to a sleeping Poppy about his journey in Solis that started as a mission to save his brother, but turned into so much more - the origin story of him and Poppy. Cas continues to give Kristen the ick with his constant sexual thoughts towards Poppy (but don't worry she does start to warm back up to him a LITTLE). We see a different perspective of when Poppy used to sneak out of the castle, and we realize that she wasn't as safe doing this as we initially thought. We read through some spice that is from Casteel's perspective and we start to see Cas being pulled out of the darkness of his trauma as Poppy enters his life. We have so many thoughts about Jericho - why was this man ever trusted to be a part of any of their plans?? Why is Nyktos never shown in the history of Solis? Can Cas sense when Poppy uses his gift on him? Join in on the conversation and let us know your thoughts! Please remember, we are an R-Rated podcast!

    FB&A A Soul of Ash and Blood Chap 1-11 | A Meal

    Come join us as we read through "A Soul of Ash and Blood" book 5 of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 1-11! We dive deep into the book, talking about theories we have about the book, Cas, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond! In this episode we begin our descent into Casteel’s (or should we say Hawke’s?) brain as we go back in time to book one, but from our king’s POV this time. All three of us are finding we are so over horny Cas - We’d hoped we’d get a break from that for a bit in this book… buuuut nope. It's worse. We see our queen go into stasis, and to save her memories Casteel is telling her about their meeting from his POV and we have so many questions. Is Cas actually a god? Did he know Poppy was the "harbinger" from the start? How does the general public know about Poppy’s mission for a “dignity in death"? What was up with Jansen? Is Kieran a seer? What the heck is a shroud? Is Emil sus? Join in on the conversation and let us know your thoughts! Please remember, we are an R-Rated podcast!

We Malec gone back to Iliseeum, we learn more about the Primals, who the true Primal of Life and Death are and we finally find out what Poppy is the Primal of, all in time for the gang to round up, and take out Kolis in the upcoming books as he is now awake and free.

    Come join us as we read through "The War of Two Queens" book 4 of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 39-44!  We dive deep into the book, talking about theories we have about the book, Poppy, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond! In this episode we finally reach Padonia, and find out what has happened while Poppy, Kieran and Reaver were saving Cas. Cas gets to see Tawny for the first time, and we love the interaction between them. We discuss the catch-up that happens with Cas and Valyn, and then Valyn and the Generals, and have opinions on how that all went down. Poppy talks to Kieran about the joining, and how they feel about it, before that process finally starts, which we all have different opinions about. Amanda and Kristen are OVER the 'fun' times between Cas and Poppy, and feel like the book and the relationship between them has changed. Amanda gets sus of someone again.... but this time it's Reaver, and Kristen joins this train. We also get some backstory on Cora, as Malik tells Poppy about what happened to her after the Craven attack. As Poppy has more visions, we narrow in on that, who are they from? Are they visions from the past or something else? As the gang finds Malec and takes him to return to Isbeth, we have questions. Like why was it so easy to get him? Is it really Malec in the coffin? And we learn more about what protects him while he slumbers.  Please remember, we are an R-Rated podcast!

    FB&A The War of Two Queens Chap 27-32 | A- at best

    Come join us as we read through "The War of Two Queens" book 4 in the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 27-32! We dive deep into the book, talking theories we have about the book, Poppy, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond! In this episode we revise the prophecy that was given to us by Tawny, as we make more connections to what was laid out. We discuss Isbeth, her poor war strategy and how vengeance is keeping her alive as she wants to see Atlantia burn. Was there a reason perhaps that Malec and Isbeth weren't allowed to do the heartmate trials? Is the whole book the heartmate trials for Cas and Poppy? Then Malik and Millicent are heartmates??? We have thoughts on this. Our least favourite revenant, Callum, is brought up, is he good? Evil? Playing a long game? There are so many question marks when it comes to him. Just as we have more questions about Poppy and her god-hood, as we get concerned when she 'turns off' her emotions as she, Reaver and Keiran all escape from the Blood Queen. Reaver is another character who leaves us with more questions from his actions in this set of chapters, and we discuss him. In the gang's escape, we also meet Blaz and Clariza, two descenders, and we talk about the groups time with them, the good, the bad, and the very awkward times, as Poppy and Cas 'reconnect'. Please remember, we are an R-Rated podcast!
