Grab a steaming cup of tea and your fluffiest blanket, and join Jess and Raven Egan--sisters on a mission to get back into reading--as they break down fiction novels chapter by chapter, discuss characters and plot points, and analyze writing techniques.

    EP. 166 - Shadow Scale: Ch. 6-7

    In this episode, chapters 6 and 7 of Shadow Scale make us more and more suspicious of Abdo, his powers, and who he is communicating with behind the scenes. We also discuss which of the novel's half-dragon characters we would want to hang out with the most, and which is the most grotesque.

    EP. 165 - Shadow Scale: Ch. 4-5

    In chapters 4 and 5 of Rachel Hartman's Shadow Scale, Raven's and Jess's suspicions about Abdo deepen, we encounter one of Seraphina's grotesques, and we reflect on "iPad kids" and the impact of technology on childhood. We also compare Shadow Scale's travel chapters to A Feast for Crows, and what we discover leaves our jaws on the floor.

    EP. 164 - Shadow Scale: Ch. 2-3

    In this episode, we spill the tea on chapters 1 and 2! Brace yourself for the mysterious absence of Seraphina's "soul-light," Abdo's villain arc, a morally indifferent dragon general, and Seraphina becoming the ultimate dragon whisperer. Plus, Seraphina and Kiggs decide whether to tell Glisselda the truth about their non-affair. (Also, St. Capiti totally steals the show and she's a badass and we are obsessed with her.)

    EP. 163 - Shadow Scale: Prologue-Ch. 1

    Welcome back, dearest listeners! We're thrilled to kick off season 7 with Shadow Scale, the highly anticipated sequel to Seraphina. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the familiar land of Goredd, revisit Seraphina, Kiggs, and Glisselda, and unravel the new threats and plot twists that are new to both of us (as well as a strangely convenient plot device). Tune in as we dust off our microphones, sip on our favourite teas, and embark on this exciting chapter of our podcast. Let the reading adventures begin anew!

    EP. 161 - A Feast for Crows: Ch. 45

    In this week's episode, we cover the final chapter of the book. Will this chapter bring the story full circle, as we predicted? Or will it be just as disappointing as the rest of the book? We discuss how to depict iron in a sigil, the difference between Redwynes and Hightowers, what would cause the whole realm to fall to pieces, who is the Mad Maid, and what makes that one guy's face so pasty.

    Character perspectives in this episode: Samwell...
