    Episode 58: Faster than the Wind

    We said we were fine after last episode… We were LYING! This week we’re diving into Kingdom of Ash chapters 60–69 (nice) and somehow the chaos just keeps escalating. Like?? No breaks, no mercy, just vibes (bad ones). In this episode, everything is converging and it’s STRESSFUL! The emotional hits are hitting a little too hard and our sanity?? Is questionable at best. Also, can someone explain why every time we think we can breathe, SJM just… doesn’t allow it?? We kept this one nice… but don’t worry, the internal screaming is still very much present. 🎧 Tune in now on Spotify and Apple Podcast📺 Full episode on YouTube!

    Episode 57: For the Queen.

    This episode we’re covering Kingdom of Ash chapters 50–59 and honestly?? Who gave Sarah J. Maas the right. The tension is TENSIONING, and every chapter feels like it’s personally attacking us. Also… can we talk about the stress level?? Because we are not okay and would like a formal apology. Thanks for sticking with us while we were MIA. Terrasen was a lot, emotionally and spiritually (as life has been). But we’re back and ready to spiral with you all over again . Thanks for listening to Caffeine and Conjuring!

    Sidequest: Shield of Sparrows

    For our 5th side quest, we’re diving into Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. Her very first leap from contemporary romance into fantasy, and honestly?? She understood the assignment. Set in a monster-ridden world where kingdoms cling to fragile peace treaties, the story follows Princess Odessa, who is suddenly thrust into a political marriage meant to secure alliances… and secretly spy on her new kingdom. Casual. But instead of a straightforward royal duty situation, we get enemies-to-lovers tension, a broody warrior with secrets (obviously), and a journey across dangerous lands where literally nothing is what it seems. Expect:🔥 slow-burn romance🗡️ forced proximity👀 hidden identities🦅 terrifying monster vibes💔 and just enough emotional damage to keep us spiraling We’re chatting all things: first impressions of Devney Perry’s romantasy debut, whether the hype is justified, THAT romance dynamic, and our thoughts heading into book two (because yes, we will be continuing). AND for the first time ever, you can WATCH this episode!! Our full video recording is now live on our YouTube channel, so come hang out with us there. Grab your wine, your annotations, and your hottest takes… because this one has a LOT to unpack. This is a public episode.

    Episode 56: To Terrasen

    Starting to spiral because this stretch of Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas (chs 40–49) said “oh you thought we were pacing ourselves?” and then chose violence instead. We’ve got: * Schemes on schemes on SCHEMES. * Emotional damage being served family-style. * War strategy meetings that somehow hurt more than the actual battles. * And our queen carrying the weight of the entire world like it’s just another Tuesday. The tension? Unbearable.The reunions? Not nearly enough.The looming doom? Practically a main character at this point. Every chapter feels like we’re marching closer to something catastrophic, and we are NOT emotionally prepared. The sacrifices being whispered about? The risks being taken?? We laughed. We gasped. We absolutely lost our minds. Tune in as we break down the alliances forming, the cracks starting to show, and why this section feels like the deep inhale before the final, devastating exhale. We are fine.We are absolutely not fine. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit caffeineandconjuring.substack.com

    Episode 55: Get it off.

    We are BACK after a very unplanned two-week hiatus thanks to some chaotic tech issues (we promise it wasn’t a Valg infiltration… probably). Thank you for sticking with us. 🖤 This episode we’re covering Chapters 30–39 of Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas, and the tension is absolutely suffocating in the best way. Everything feels heavy. Every choice feels impossible. The quiet moments somehow hurt more than the loud ones. You can feel the endgame building, piece by fragile piece, and it’s the kind of slow burn that makes you clutch the book a little tighter. We talk about the emotional exhaustion, the small sparks of hope, the way certain scenes linger long after you finish the chapter, and how this stretch somehow manages to be both devastating and steady at the same time. Thank you for being patient with us while we sorted out the tech mess. We’re so happy to be back talking about this masterpiece with you. Let’s get into it .

    Episode 54: Fenrys.

    Pain. Suffering. Emotional devastation. And yet… somehow we still pressed record. This week, we’re diving into chapters 20–29 of Kingdom of Ash and WOW! Sarah J. Maas said absolutely no peace, only trauma. From heart-shattering moments to tiny flickers of hope that keep us barely functioning, these chapters had us screaming, crying, and aggressively texting each other at 2am. We talk character breakdowns, impossible choices, found family feels, and why literally no one is allowed happiness for more than five minutes. Tune in for unhinged reactions, top-tier suffering, and the slow realization that this book is going to ruin us. Thanks for listening to Caffeine and Conjuring!

    Episode 53: The Crochan Queen

    We’re officially in the deep end now, friends. Chapters 10–19 of Kingdom of Ash said “no warm-up laps” and immediately started swinging. This week’s episode is packed with the kind of emotional tension that makes you stare at the page like SJM wouldn’t… right? 😬 The endgame is coming whether we’re ready or not. Kingdom of Ash is proving again that it did not come to play. Grab your tissues, your theories, and maybe a stress beverage, because things are only getting darker from here.

    Episode 52: Blink Blink Blink

    We’ve officially entered Kingdom of Ash. The final book. The emotional damage era. This episode covers chapters 1–9, and already Sarah J. Maas said, “peace was never an option.” Buckle up, because nothing feels safe and we are NOT OK. Thanks for listening to Caffeine and Conjuring!
