• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I reckon, here's my throw in the dark. She is
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: going to become really close to Kale, and Kale doesn't
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: actually like the king because the king forced him into
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the Royal Guard and did something to his family and
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: that's why he became the leader of the Royal Guard
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: when it was because.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: He's so young. He's only twenty uh huh.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: And those two are going to try and come to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a plan to kill the king, but they can't, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: instead of doing that, they're going to save some people
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: from the salt mines.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Relatables Baddies book Club, where we will embark
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on a journey reading some of the finest pieces of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: literature you have ever laid eyes or he is if
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that's your preferred way to consume a book. On No.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Throne of Glass Chapters ten through to twenty, let's go, Jake,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I would like to say that the book is turning up,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: which it's not, but it's also not turning up, if
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: that makes sense.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I it sucks. Haven't read it. I want to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: use the word edging. Yeah yeah, yeah, yea yeah. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm being just edged.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Chapter and chapter and chapter on chapter on chapter on
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: chapter on chapter on chapter on, chapter on chapter.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you were at the movie
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: theater and someone said through the whole movie you have
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to eat one piece of popcorn at a time, because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know how you're start eating one piece and then
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you start shoveling it. Like we haven't had any shoveling
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at this point of the book yet. I thought you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: were going to say something completely different than I No, no,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not sexual, like you nasty motherfucker. How do you know?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: How do you know? That's what I was thinking, because
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you were talking about edging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you went to the movies. Yeah, I mean I was
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in Cinema six, but like I was just eating popcorn. Man, Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you're going to say you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Kin a bit freaky, and then like the what are
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: they called the usher comes up with.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: A torch and then like have you have you ever? No,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I have not Jake gone to a movie theater for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a date or anything.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't classify as a date. I'd be like called
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a hangout because you're not talking.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember, yeah, I remember. For
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: some reason, it's like our school or or our year
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: group went through a phase where they thought like the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: movies was the place to do ship Mmmm.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's a natural, like young person's progression though,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: because you can't go to your parents' house obviously, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you don't have.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You like and oh, this is fucking the most I remember.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I think this might have been the first time that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I ever touched a boobs with my girlfriend at the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: time here in at first year on book love. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it was like my first girlfriend and we went to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the movies, and I think it was the first time
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I got to feel a boob. To be fair fitting
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for this book, because I feel like that's all that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: going to happen in it. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: even that, mate, Yeah. And then I wanted to touch
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on pronunciations Jake, yeah, yeah, yeah, here you are.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: We aligned with almost all of them, except for I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was saying khole yeah yeah, yeah, that's what the audiobook
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was saying, right, Yeah, you were saying kale.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we've got the sound play it. Oh, is
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this the audiobook? Yeah, this is the audiobook, which you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: think would be right, Yeah, but like, how much do
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: surgery mass have to do with that? Because I'm basing
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it off as the baddies. Who I trust more than
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a fucking audiobook.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Oddie, Surely someone's approved it, but I feel like we're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: both wrong.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's kind of in the middle, don't you reckon kal
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: stood with Dorian okay kal? Yeah, it's like kale no kal,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: not you're saying k kale. I feel like it's in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the middle, mate. She's she's literally just saying kale, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: instead of kale, it's kol. She's just pronouncing it like
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the c H is are k and she's literally sounding
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, I guess I guess it. Whoever read
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that who got paid She shouldn't be paid for that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: This one's not great. Hey.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It's also like challenging to listen to because it's one
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: voice actor and she plays all the characters. So when
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there's like Dora in or Kale and stuff, it's still
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a woman's voice. And then they're like kind of like
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: having banter back and forth, and then you're like, yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the second I need to get into like picturing what
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Dorain looks like. But then it's still the same voice
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: putting on a voice. So it's kind of weird.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, reading akatar as the first series with having and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: also having every single actar book dramatized audio, was like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a bad idea. I know, It's like I've when I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: read the series read Rising, because it's like kind of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in depth and long. I would sometimes if I was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: cleaning my house, I would listen to it while I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was cleaning the house. Yeah, And they had a few
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of the books fully dramatized audio, and they were hectic.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But the and I got up to about like the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: fourth book, and it was just one It was one
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: guy reading, and so he was like his normal voice
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was the main character's voice, but then he would put
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: on a different voice for it, so annoying. It's jarring
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: even and they would have whole chapters of just either
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the main character and then other characters. Like they did
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that type. It was multipov and so when he would
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: do a woman's voice, it was the most jarring thing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: The same other voices. Yeah, I was like, fuck me,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like how come they haven't finished this series in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dramatized audio, Like don't post this shit, Like.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Sure surely there's a budget to have more one voice
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: actor too, even if it's not dramatized about the sounds
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: just like talk to each other.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking too, like these series, bro they rake
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in money? Was this because this is old? When did
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: this come out? Oh yeah, fair while ago? Like was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it massive when it first came out? Or did Sarah J.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Mass's like name become massive after Akatar? It's a good
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: question actually because I swear you see.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Every single book has number one New York Times best
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Selling Author. I swear if you're an author, you just
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: automatically become that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I was just like, I was just say, like, how
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hard is it to be like the New York Times
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Best How many books do you need to sell in
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: New York to be New York Times Bestselling author?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It must be they just put them on rotation in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the bookshop. They all get like fifty each and then they.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Set out, Yeah, New York Times Bestselling author, and like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: does that sell more books? Like? And it's like are
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we judging that based off of something else? You know
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Like I don't feel like I don't
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: reckon I look at New York Times Bestselling author and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: think like, oh my god, like that's the best. Like
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's like I would say if a movie got like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: ninety nine and rotten Tomatoes, I would be like, that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: must be a good movie. But if I see a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: New York Times bestselling author, I don't think, Wow, that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: must be a good author.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I feel that's funny. I actually agree with you too
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: in a sense. Books are almost the same as podcasts.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Like the only way I feel like you'll take a
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: recommendation is if a friend or some one you like
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: trust tells you that it's good.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so bad. If you're enjoying.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: If you're enjoying this podcast, help us out and tell
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a friend to tell a friend that club is back.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We've thrown of glass And to reiterate, this is the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: second of I think there's five parts, but all of
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: them are available on Patreon right now for eight ninety
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: nine a month, and you don't have to wait week
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on week on week, and you can just go binge
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: all of them.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Why would you not want to do that. We're recapping
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: every chapter, thoughts and theories to every clond twist. We'll
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: break it down for you, all right, So we finished
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: off last one like last recap, we finished off with
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I believe Selena and all the other competitors we've brought
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: forth to the king. Correct, Yeah, correct. So now he's like,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you motherfuckers have all been chosen to be my champion.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I think he goes with my chance and one chance,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you do all my dirty deeds, all right? If you win,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you work for me, and you earn your freedom. After
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: your time is up, you're free to go, and I'm
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: going to pay you a shit ton by the way.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah how And Slena's like, Slena's like, fuck, do I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: even want to win this thing? Like do I even
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: want to work for this guy? And I was thinking
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that's a foally question. But then she's like, nah, if
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I one more day in that salt mine, and I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: fucking necking myself, That's what she's like. Nah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: One thing I'm struggling with, do you reckon? Selena doesn't
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: really have the vibe of an assassin.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing I say, so, One thing I would
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: say I noticed is that it's like I was just
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: trying to really convince myself you know, it's fantasy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's fantasy. It's fantasy because like she is a very
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: beautiful woman, she's she's apparently stunning, and she got picked
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: up or like you know, this guy the king of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: assassins fucking comes around. His name's Arabin, or some shit
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: company finds her, like her parents are gorn Sky's or
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: something finds her, brings her in and is like gonna
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: train you to be an assassin. She's only like eighteen
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: or nineteen now. She got found when she was like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: nine or eleven or around that age, and within that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: amount of time she's literally become the whole entire country's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: best assassin, and she's like feared by everyone, and she's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: just like this very beautiful, like they almost like explain
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: her as a bit fragile, but then but then she's not.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And you know, I just think, like this whole book.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: They what I was thinking, at least, was so the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: book we're going to read third is going to explain
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a lot to us, because I believe it's it's a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: book of short stories of the things she's done as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: an assassin.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, which yeah, which might help with like the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: way I'm picturing her, because I'm getting like, I know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'm only what twenty chapters in m path vibes, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting like cutthroat killer and most notorious assassin
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: now like that, Yeah, like apparently she used to go
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: around just like fucking slitting necks and shit like no problem,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: or like from the top of a roof like a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: mile away, like arrow through someone's head, Like it's not
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: something I can picture her doing either, like she cares
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: too much. But yeah, actually that's a good point, like
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I'm keen to see like what she's done. And we
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: find out a little bit about her like childhood.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Within these chapters in a sense of like, yeah, what
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was it that guy picked her up?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And then he didn't say after training her for nine
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: years that he had like a debt to repay to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: her or whatever.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So first, okay, So basically we go from he's like,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you guys could be my champion. He's like, I'm actually
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fucking off right. The King goes I'm actually leaving, like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I'll be back in like I'll be back for the finale.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: But oh, mate Brulo something Fadus Bruler or something like that,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: who's my weapons master and top top army captain, Like
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he's going to run the show and he's going to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: judge you. Every week there'll be a competition and you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: get to train in between. So they're like okay, cool
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and so each person sponsored Selena, who is now known
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: as Lilian Soaring Gale or something like that, sore and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Gale is sorry, that's Violot Lily Gordon. Yeah, yeah, something
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like that. So she's like, that's what everyone knows, arous
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: because apparently if they know that Adelain's Adalin's assassin is there,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then they're just going to be like no, no, no,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: we're out, like where can we kill ourselves? Like that's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: how scary she is. AnyWho, So all of the King's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: nearest and dearest, like high up, higher ups have sponsored someone.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Duke Perrington, he's sponsored kine the Big Dog. Yeah, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: then we had learned about like there's there's thirteen others.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's like twenty one at the beginning or some shit,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: there's so many. No, that's thirteen. I'll tell you what.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: This is funny. This might mean something to some English baddies.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: So do you know who Harry Kane is? Yeah, Tottenham
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: ex Tottenham striker. I think he's part of like Bayern Munich.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I'm picturing his face as like a warrior.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: See I didn't picture that. I see that whenever I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: see kine a. So apparently apparently he's massive he's a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: brickable yeah, which Harry Kane was up top number nine,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that's right. And so now so Slena's sponsored by Dorian
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and then but Dorian has chosen like Kal or Kal
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: whatever to train Selena. Yeah, so now it's about the training.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And so her first day of training, she's like, oh
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: my god, I'm chopped a like one year at Endovia
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and this I can't do fuck all. And Kale's like
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: toy with her a bit. He kind of does say
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to her like you're good with a sword, but like
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you're also just you're not great anymore or whatever, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: she didn't she didn't expect coal to be so good. Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Kales are beast apparently.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently he's like equivalent almost as good as her
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: when he's like, when she's fully trained, she's better, but
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: right now he's like got it on her.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. She always will also
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: get into interactions with people and be like could split
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: his like could break his neck right now, could kill
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: him right now, but I won't do it, by the way,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: but but I won't do it, okay, And then we
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: go in a little bit and then I think we
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: do learn about so like Kale and and and it's Elena.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: They kind of become like mates because they're close all
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: We're getting that viabey and like Dorian's like we find
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: out it's like best mates of Kale.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But he's like, watch out, she knows what she's doing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: He's like, you don't think I can look after myself, bitch? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Kale's Kale's fallen for this girl and she nsions. Kale
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is ugly but handsome in a weird way, so like
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: he's just ugly, But like, what are you picturing for Kale?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: For Kale, I have like a picture, I picture Kale.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He's a relatively tall, white guy with dark hair, a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: bit of stubble at all times, right, but like he's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the type he's like like he's like, I'm picturing like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: what you would say if you're just like he's like
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a man, Like I'm picturing like a man. Does that
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: make any sense? Do you remember? In yeah, one hundred percent,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm similar long black hair. I was thinking more like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my length.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I was picturing kind of In the Hobbit, the second one,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the guy kills the dragon whatever his name is.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: The guy who kills the dragon yeh yeh yeh yeh.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah whatever his name was that vibe kale because
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: he's like, he's like kind of handsome, but then he's just.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Like a burly man. He's just sexy. Yeah, yeah, that vibe.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm getting that, you know, it's giving John Snow vibes. Yes, yes, yes, John, Yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: very much. So Dorian is Dorian black.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I just have worn.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: At one point it said Dorian had like dark brown skin.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I don't, and so basically, and so if I'm wrong,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: then I'm wigging out because I've been picturing Dorian as
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: like fucking Michael B. Jordan this whole time.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Well, he is every every single bloody person in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: land kind of because of his status, but also because
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: he's handsome.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Ass only he's sexy, want to be in his pants
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and bees wi yeah yeah yeah, yeah, apparently he's sexy.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And Dorian he we find out he was broken harder
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: at one point, and this mother fuckers like nineteen or
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: some shit, he's been full broken harder before. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like it's like a weird thing to conceptualize
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: because to me, it's giving like the eighteen hundreds. But
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: then it's also for some reason giving like future s.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Ish as well. Weird.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like weird, caught him behind, caught between my mind
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of what it is, still conceptualizing it a bit.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It like annoys me how they talk about having toilet
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and shit and I'm thinking, like, but you're in a castle,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Like what are you talking about?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, glass castle? But I think the glass castle is
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: like built by Fay.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Yeah, yea yea yea ye yah.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's got magic that's why it makes sense. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it has to be magic that I will say doesn't
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: get confirmed, but it gets more solidified at the end.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought, straight up. Ay.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And well she she also doesn't like it, you reckon.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: She doesn't like it because it's not safe or because
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: something to do with Like she's definitely got something to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: do with magic, Selena.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: She talks about being like descendant of magic. But do
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you reckon?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: That's why she doesn't or you know, but why she
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: didn't like the glass house, she said, Well.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You know how you know how she just talks about
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: how she's just like, why would you go in something
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that could break? Yeah, it just always stays as that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: she's like, I just hate being in something that can break. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but she doesn't understand the magic. She Yeah, she just
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: like she just like she doesn't send the magic in
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: there or anything like that. She just like hates the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: fact that glass can break. And I was like, that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: actually valid. Yeah. AnyWho, Okay, first test or what are
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: we My first test is like an archery test. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: told you the tests are like kind of boring.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, she goes archery, she passes. Cool. They do
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: some running into training and then Brulo say it is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Brulo is like, if you come last year getting you're
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: going home. Like the only way they thought they could
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: go home is by not is by coming last in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a test, but they also get sent home for other reasons. Yeah,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: someone in one of the tests, I think it's the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: archery test, one of the guys that's gonna be one
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of the champions, he tries to dip and like four
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: steps in he just gets arrows like through the neck,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: through the back and shit. And so now everyone's like, well, fuck,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to try and run like that's crazy.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And then Selena, she at one point is going she's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: kind of like, in my opinion, starts to just like
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: enjoy living in the stone part of the castle and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: so like she's enjoying the training, she enjoys when Kale's there.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: She likes it when Dorian comes to see her, like
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: calein Dorian like. The thing I find the craziest is
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that Cale will straight up just like come look at
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: her in the middle of the night or in the morning,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: just like without knocking, just walks in and just wakes
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: her up, and it's like, get up. Yeah, it's a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: bit weird. Ah, yeah, it's giving stalker s vibes.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: But then also like protection. But then also because there's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I guess there's a little bit of a debate I'm
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: finding at the moment. Are they protecting Selena or is
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: like from escaping or from her killing people?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think they don't want her to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: kill anyone, like they do think she's a beast and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: she is, yeah, which she is. And Dorian he just
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: like pops in as well as Susan. He pops in
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for just like I wanted to see her. He's he's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: fucking falling in love with Well, she's beautiful, what what
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: do you say? But I think that was pretty much
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: all the chapters. Wasn't it pretty much? Did we meet
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like Princess Nahemia, Yeah, we meet her and then they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: or she speaks Elwyn. She's from Elwhere what's the and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: then she and Selanna can speak the language and no
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: one else can really. Yeah, so like Princess Ilway's here
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because her father her kingdom has just krobad of been
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: overtaken by Adeline, and her father sends her to the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: castle to learn quote unquote learn the ways of the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: ad Alines. But no one else speaks Illware, but Selena
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: speaks fluent Illway, so they become friendly. She quite likes
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the princess. And then we also learn that Selena used
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to have a lover named Sam.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah we did, and she's been broken harder too.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Fuck everyone's fine a young love in this booky because basically.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: The reason Selena got caught back in the day, like
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a year and a bit ago and she was there
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for a year, was like someone had to rat her
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: out and it wouldn't have been Sam. But when she
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: got ratted out, Sam got caught in the fold and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: he got killed. Yeah, poor Slena. And she thinks that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: another another assassin ratted her out. Oh there's a.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Bit of a bread crumbing as well, or and yeah
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: it ended on was it? It was Dorian was having a
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: bit of a playfight with the princess.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That's where the chapter ended. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Selaine
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: is training with the princess and Dan comes in. It's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: like hey, and Slena goes, hey, you have a crack
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and he's like no, no, no, no, no no. And then
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the princess is like, how dare you I'm asking you
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to spa me and he's like okay, and then Kale
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: comes in. He's like, you fucking dickhead, what are you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: doing man? But that's yeah, that's about that's that's yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: It might have been something for.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Lots of feelings predictions to one of the fictional man,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: like we always do.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You can have bet and streaming again.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: This is the Relatables book Club. Let the throw and
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the docks begin.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, thoughts and feelings are how are you feeling at
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: this point?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Although like arguably nothing has happened, I'm actually like really
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: really enjoying it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It's I felt the same. I was kind of like,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoy in this book, but it's also kind of boring.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if I was enjoying it just
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: because everyone says it's super super good and I'm like,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna fucking cop it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've said that about other things too, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: they've been terrible, whereas this is like I can feel
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that like I'm reading for a purpose, Like what was
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Frosten Starlight A Gatar is kind of similar, but that
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: one was boring, whereas this, for some reason, I'm really
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: really engaged.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's good, and.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, but thoughts and feelings, Yeah, I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: going to say, like a solid.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Ten a. Yeah, dang, I look forward to it. And
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: then also I put something.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: In the Baddies Club on Instagram a couple of days ago,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: just saying like little teaser about throwing a glass and
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that many people were saying like it just gets better
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: book on book on book on book, and like you said,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I think just because we're reading for a purpose, like
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I think I'm preampting that it's gonna be good.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I think that it's gonna get pretty sick. Also,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I have to say something because I and it's a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: decision that I've made and I'm my decision won't.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Be swayed, won't be or will be won't be This
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: is unlike you bullshit.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So I was voice messaging with a bartie. She was
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I think it was either on Relaated's Instagram or my Instagram,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: but AnyWho, it was like that when I first started
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: reading Throne of Glass, right, yeah, and they would give
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: me pointers of when to read Assassin's Blade, and so
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I said, thank you, thank you, And then she goes,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: also book So I think there's eight books. She said,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: book six and seven is the two books that can
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: be tandem read. And she said that she didn't tandem
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: read them, right, and she regrets it because book six
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is phenomenal, apparently, right like foot Book six follows these
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: characters that like you're so so engaged with and it's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: just like the best story. And then book seven is
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: happening at the exact same time but in a different
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: part of the world as book six, but it's a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: bit boring, Like the characters are all right, they're not
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: your favorite like the stories, it's not as good. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: book six ends on like the biggest fucking cliffhanger. So
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the way you read it, So basically what I'm trying
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to say, is un tandem reading that shit? Okay? Because
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: what apparently it's like you get through it a lot
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: better and you enjoy it a lot more because you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: read it and then like the boring bits get made
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: up by get made up in so the boring book
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: seven gets made up for by the sickness of book six.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Book six ends on a cliffhanger and only gets answered
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: at the start of the very last book. So if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you read book six first, you have to go through
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: all of books seven and be like, oh, this is
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a grind, and then get to books eight. I get, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I get yeah, yeah, Okay, no, it's got it. I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: happy to do that. Okay, fucking eath could have phrased it, audito,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: do you want to tan and read? Because I remember
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you and I had a conversation once where once where
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: we were like, fuck, tandem reading not happening, Like that
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: sounds so confusing, But then this batty convinced.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Me, Oh yeah, that makes sense to me, especially like
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: if you tell me one book's boring and if together
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: they're the best thing ever, then I'm down.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true, because iron Flame grind and half. Oh yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: fuck I gave up already, so finish on.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I kind of like this dynamic a little bit to
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the predictions on my side because I say something and
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you can't give anything away.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Well, oh yeah, mate, I'll read the second book right
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: now because I'm waiting, I shouldn't send anything. Yeah mate,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking grinding to be fair on my side, all right,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: So predictions, predictions, predictions. So a Selena is going to
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: fall in love with Kale, but then they got to
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: hide it from everyone because Dorian is his Cal's best friend,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and then the king can't find out. Blah blah blah
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: blah blah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: And Selena's actually a big softy reckon. She's like she
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: only kills because she has to know because.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: She wants to.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, And then, so can you tell me or is
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: it not a bad thing? Is it a bad thing
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to say? If I ask if magic and Faye plays
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a big part in the book, is that it all
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: depends would it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Be a giveaway? I don't think it's a giveaway. If so,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it's like a giveaway but not a big giveaway. If
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I say, it's a eh, what I'm saying? So I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: think that so they think magic is extinct? What's illegal?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Do they think it's extinct? So I don't think people
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: think it's fully gone, but they it's like been very
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it's been illegal for like I think a good fifteen
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: nearly twenty years. Okay, oh yeah, well I reckon Selena
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: will be like the beacon of hope for bringing back
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: magic ooh, and like she discovers it somehow, And then that's.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Also why she's a weapon. She's gone like a reason
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: for like not taking anything away from it. But why
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: she's so like dialed in as well, other than just training,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: why she's such a good.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Assassin, Like, yeah, it comes naturally to her.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Because he said, yeah, she seems like such a normal girl.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: But then she also is a mass murderer, and I
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: feel like that's got something to do with being fake.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: She's not a murderer. She used to do it for work, mate.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah I suppose. I suppose that's the justification.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But that's my predictions. And or is there anything I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: think all the challenges are going to be like pretty boring?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Is there any cool ones?
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Let me think honestly, like not really, like I hate
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to hate to break it to you, that's all.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And I reckon, I was gonna say Caine's got to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: die that I don't think it's going to be against
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: like Cain and her in the finals for sure, because
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: isn't it that the last two battle to the death
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: and the winner, so the.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Final four for a battle, so like it's got to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Cane v.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Selena and then like something to do with like Kale
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: will be like Selena's about to die and Kale will
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like come in and help or something, and then she'll
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: take over. Well no, but also but also Sarah Jay's
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: writing writing style is never which I like, never rely
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: rely on a man.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, good point.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Whereas which we found out in Akatar, like women are
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: powerful in the Gift to the world, and she writes
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: that in such a powerful way. I think, So I
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: take that back. It's all gonna be Selena something to.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Do with her and she'll say, Kale, there we go, Okay, okay, okay.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: One thing I wanted to say before we leave is
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: so I reckon, like there's a good chance that will
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: be nearly done Throne of Glass when Akatar six comes out. Yeah, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: so you know how everyone's saying, like you need to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: read all of Sarah j. Mastic just just to understand
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Akatar six and seven. Like I don't fully believe that,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Like I don't think we have to read Crescent City
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I am gonna read Crescent
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: City because I assume you probably won't read it at all.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Question should I read when it because I'll read Crescent
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: City in my own time. Yeah, if I don't want to,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: like say, I'm gonna do this, but with the baddies
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: like it. If I sit down, just like on my
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: own and talk about Crescent City books, you know, I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: could read twenty chapters one afternoon, or I could read five,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and I like just like kind of record when I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: feel it recording and say what I'm up to and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: just post him only on Patreon. I was going to say,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a way to get you to do a great idea
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is if you make money from it, and.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Inherently I make money from it. So yeah, really an idea.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So I think I might do that with Crescent City.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'm nearly done Dagonmouth. Dagamouth's been a grind, but it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a good book. Yeah, okay, yeah, no.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I reckon that's a great idea and then just do
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: it in like the essence of when you feel like
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: you need to talk about it. M Patreon, there's a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: great Patreon exclusive. So next week guys, chapters twenty through
• 29:05

• 29:09
  Speaker 2: to go.
