GREYWAREN by Maggie Stiefvater
We are once again returning after an extended absence, and we are so excited to finally get to discuss GREYWAREN by Maggie Stiefvater! We talk multiple-series arcs, plots that run on vibes and vibes only, and Margaret making fools of us all. SPOILER WARNING: We talk pretty in-depth about all of the books in Maggie's connected RAVEN CYCLE and DREAMER books, so if you haven't finished both series and you wish to remain unspoiled, we recommend you wait on this one and come back when you're done.
As always, a big thanks to DJ Empirical for our amazing theme music.

Netflix's SHADOW AND BONE, SEASON 2
THE GANG'S BACK, Y'ALL! After a VERY long hiatus, we are thrilled to be back with our Grishaverse pals Jessie and Aubrey to sit down and discuss everything SHADOW AND BONE Season 2 on Netflix! We talk new characters, our favorite (and least favorite) adaptive choices, plot convergences and that breakneak pacing, and everything in between. SPOILER WARNING: The same rules that applied to our coverage of the first season will apply here as well; we decided that the only way we can properly analyze how the show fits into the entire Grishaverse was to include the entire written Grishaverse into our analysis - this includes everything from the SHADOW AND BONE trilogy, the SIX OF CROWS duology, the KING OF SCARS duology, and of course the first season of the Netflix show. That said, we don't get too spoilery, but if you want to remain completely unspoiled on everything from the books we recommend that you come back and listen when you're done reading.
As always, thanks to Martha Riley for our art and Djempirical for our music.

Customer Reviews
Can we be friends?!
Every time I finish a YA or even NA fantasy I jump on a podcast app to see if they’ve done an episode about it. It feels like talking with your friends about your favorite books. Their breakdowns of the book are so thoughtful and I usually come away wanting to read it again. Love it!
Like the analysis for the most part
but I’m going to be a little critical, because that’s part of reviewing. I just listened to the heartstopper season to review and there were a couple things that I would like to argue against with the hosts’ analysis. Not gonna go into too much detail here, my best suggestion would be to read the couple of Novelas in between the heartstopper graphic novels, because they do focus on Charlie, not getting good grades in the books too— to an extent. I think it is more heavily emphasized in the series, plus his, mental health. for me personally, I felt like the second season of heartstopper was just a little too happily ever after themed for —me I wanted to see a little bit more rising action/obstacles. That’s my two. Cents.😝
Great Podcast!
This podcast really shows how much YA has to offer adult readers. Corinne and Tasia provide great analysis that really highlight the themes offered by each selection. And, of course, they swoon over all the ‘good boys’ and ships that make YA so fun. Highly recommend!
