  Speaker 1: Coming up on Relatables Baddies Book Club, the king comes
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: back and he's talking to Dorian and Aelin, right? And
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: he says, so she goes, I take it Kael's dead.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: He goes, my only regret is I didn't get to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: spend more time killing him.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Relatables Baddies Book Club, where we will embark
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: on a journey reading some of the finest pieces of
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: literature you have ever laid eyes, or ears, if that's
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: your preferred way to consume a book, on.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Queen of Shadows, chapter 60 to the end.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We finished it. We finished the book. I've got my
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: cup of tea. I hope everyone has their tea or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: coffee to experience the tea.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I've got a cup of Darcy sitting on my lap.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Darcy, can't believe he fucking sits on your lap and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: not mine, eh?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Me and Darcy will listen to Jake recap these very,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: very good chapters.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Are you happy? Overall, yeah. I would say.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: 80 out of 10.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to lie. I didn't actually
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: fully expect the ending. Yeah, true. Didn't fully expect it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I kind of wanted one more person to die just because.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Someone good. Oh, you mean someone that we like? Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So we're a bit heartbroken? Just to feel some emotions.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Once again, everyone's still alive.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: True. Here's my thinking, right? Is we've ended this book...
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: On like the high of highs, really. You're really thinking
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: about it. So I have a feeling there's three more books.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They're all long AF. There's going to be at least
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: three deaths of people we love. You reckon? That's a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: big call. In the next three books. But Sarah J
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Maas is always bringing the people we love back to life. Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: but this series to me is not like romancy, fantasy,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of like. Crescent City or Akita, where
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in Akita, you read it for storyline, 100%. It's a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: great storyline. But also, you know, the romance plays a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: big part. In this, romance hasn't played a big part.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: This is way more just story. Yeah, there's barely any romance.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking like a few times that there's going to
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: be some little bit of romance and they don't do anything.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: No, they don't do anything at all. Before we get
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: into it, I wanted to actually, I found this thing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a little while ago and I keep forgetting to talk
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about it. It was like an Instagram post. Burp. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it is things that romanticist readers just accept as normal.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: No, it's kind of invalid, yeah. The first kiss is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: 600 pages in. Honestly, a little rushed. Rushed? We do
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: accept that. No, you and I don't. I would prefer
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it to be quicker. Yeah, you and I don't accept
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that at all. I would prefer it to be quicker.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: A man is 700 years old and she's 22. Keep going. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody can just be named Bob. It's like fucking Zavarin.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I chose a pronunciation 300 pages ago. It's too late
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: for corrections.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Pet peeve. I hate it when I'm saying something and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: everyone's kind of like, this is how it's pronounced. This
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is how it's pronounced. Just let us be, eh? Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: just let us fucking be. She hasn't bathed in 12 days.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He buries his face in her neck. Romance is still
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: alive and well. Valid. That would stink. Traveling for three
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: weeks on horseback and nobody's ass hurts. Not even a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: little bit of chafing. Ooh, I've never thought of that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Nobody talks about that. Also in the movies, though. They
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: act like it doesn't.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I rid a horse in Turkey. Not enjoyable at all.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: No, it can't be. Have you ridden a horse before?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: When I was younger, but nowhere near enough to remember
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what it's like. It was fun for like 30 seconds. Yeah,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you're kind of like, woohoo! And then there was an
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hour and a half of it. I was like, this sucks.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Your legs being spread that far, I just feel like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: isn't natural. Not at all.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And also, being on a motorbike or something, you feel
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: in control.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You don't feel in control at all. Fuck, bro. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you've watched Yellowstone? Yeah. Those motherfuckers made me want to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: ride a horse. Yeah, yeah. Nothing like that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I feel like a fucking dweeb on one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The fate of the entire kingdom resting on someone who
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: learned magic last Tuesday just seems fine. That is every story.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: To be fair, Selina learned magic in like a month
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and she's now just a beast.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Whenever we have graphs about that, everyone's like, yeah, but
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you don't understand Selina like I do.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Fuck off. The love interest has murdered hundreds of people,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but he bought her food and asked who hurt her.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Case dismissed. Fair enough. He tried to kill her. Nobody's perfect.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Wonder when they'll finally kiss. No one has survived this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: trial in 300 years. She'll be fine. Oh, I guess
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for what we've read, that's kind of like Under the Mountain. Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: A 40-page glossary at the back. Cool. Apparently this hobby
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: has homework. What's a glossary?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know. Because at the end of the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: audio book, there's a 29-minute chapter, but it's all of
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Tower of Dawn.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: No, what's the next one? Oh, yeah. No. Oh, what's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the next one? Tower of Dawn's the last one. Empire
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of Storms? Empire of Storms. Kingdom of Ash is the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: last one. Tower of Dawn is the middle one between
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the last two. Let me have a look. Glossary. What's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: going on here? What the fuck's a glossary? I don't know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Darcy's wigging out butt? No, it just says acknowledgements. Anyway. Well,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that was that. That's the shit we all accept. We do.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But it's time to get into the real shit. Let's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: get into the recap. All right. Chapter 60. We ended
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: last episode with Rowan takes an arrow for Selina, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Chapter 60. So he's down and out. She's talking about
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: feeling the pain, feeling the pain. Anywho, gets him out
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of there. She kind of shuffles him out of there
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and she's all pissed, right? And so then she's kind
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of like gets him over, shoes him over to Adion.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Turns back and he's like saying, you know, I'm not
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: leaving you. And then she's like, you're going. And he goes, okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going. She turns back around and then her and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Manon kind of look at each other and they're like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: let's go, us, one-on-one. And then basically they have this
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one-on-one fight and we get the POV of both Manon
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and Aelin. And Manon talks about how a human shouldn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: move like this, right? And also just... She could pump Aelin,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: but Aelin just is smart at fighting. If she had
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: her magic, I think maybe if she could be a failure,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: she might keep up with Manon, but Manon's a beast.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Manon is a weapon. Anywho, they're going about all this
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and like kind of Selene tricks her into like knocking
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: down all these like big pillars that are holding up
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a building. And then Manon knocks them all down. Then
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Selene dips and this building just falls on Manon. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: then fucking for some reason, Aelin- I hated this. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Aelin hears Asterin is on the other side of this
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like ravine, right? She screams. She's like, no. And for
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: some reason, something clicks in Aelin that's like, oh my God,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: her people love her so much. And she decides that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: there's this like, for some reason, thread pulling at her
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that needs to go save Manon. So she, Manon, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: everyone gets mad at me about that. So she goes
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and saves Manon, goes back and she's now with like, Adion, Rowan, blah, blah, blah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They just kind of leave Manon there. And she passes out,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wakes up and she's like, I owe, I owe, Aelin
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Ashriver Galathinia's fucking life debt.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I reckon, like, it was on Aelin to save Manon.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: She doesn't owe a shit.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Weird one. Manon has this obligation, like, oh,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: she saved my life. I now owe her my life.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I like it. I'm in life debt. That's cool. It's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: both good morals, but also, like, you just tried to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: kill each other. Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: You can't just turn that quickly to me. But, like, also,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you can tell almost... They have respect for each other.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: It's almost like Aelin's like, I can't let you die.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Too much of a good fighter.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No. She's such a, obviously she's good. Aelin didn't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know that. You want the good fighter to die. That's competition. Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's a good point. Chapter 61. Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Selene is once again wishing that she let Kael die.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Don't even know when she could have let Kael die.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Or no. Yeah. When could Kael die? Let Kael die. Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Or that's when Kael ran into the, 13 witches. Oh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: as in like she didn't save him. Yeah, then Aelin
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: came in and was just.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Like, bitch, I killed Bubba Yellowlegs. Yeah, true. She goes,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: at least you're smarter than Bubba Yellowlegs. And that was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: what she said. And then Manon goes, what do you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: know of Bubba Yellowlegs? It's like, what do you mean?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I know she tries to scare for the head, brother.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: What wigged me out about that? I don't know if
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we touched on it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: They were following Kael because he used to train there
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: of Dorian his whole childhood through that forest.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And then Kael makes the wrong turn. What? I know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Why would you mention that he trained there his whole childhood?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That's actually a good, good point. Anywho. We go to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: chapter 6, so they're kind of like, wait, no, Rowan,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: he's dying. Yeah, was there poison on the arrow? I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: don't think it was poison.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I think it just was like- Because he's human, he's
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: a weak dog.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right now he's like, he's fey, but he is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: no magic, no healing, basically. So they end up getting
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: him to Nezrin's family estate not far away, and he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: gets healed by like a midwife. Cool. Chapter 62, Manon
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: goes straight From where she was... Finishing a fight with Aelin...
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: She flies... And she catches up to the king... And
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: his people... She lands... And she goes... How about fucking...
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Have a bit more of a... She's just like... I got...
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: We got jumped bro... By some rebels... She lied... Don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: know why... We got jumped... Um.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Because she felt that... She couldn't... She owed Selina... Yeah true...
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: That's what she was saying... Or Aelin the time to
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: get away... Because they're human and Rowan... Rowan's slow.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah... So she goes... We got jumped... Um... And then
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: she was talking to him about the weapon that her
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: grandmother made. And she knows that the weapon is like
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: these big ass glass towers, right? And they're going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: be able to, I believe they could use them to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: enhance Kaltain's shadow fire magic. And they could just wipe
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: people out. So she's like, just kind of talking to him.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: The king likes her. Talking about this now, knowing stuff
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: about the king, it makes me think like the king's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: just such a fucking baby.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's just a fucking little sookie lala.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He's just a pawn and he acts all tough and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: shit but he's just a pawn anywho and then back
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in Morath the lead gets caught by Vernon and puts
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: him put in a dungeon okay chapter 63 a lead
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: chucked in a dungeon and is told you know I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: was suspect Vernon's like I suspected this witch blood motherfucker
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: so in a few days time I'm going to have
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: one of these Valk princes come down here and have
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: his way with you, all right? Because we're going to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: be getting some fucking babies out of you, Elite. Elite's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: had a terrible run. Yeah, Elite?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Terrible run.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Terrible run, bro. Now, the 13 witches, they get back
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to Morath. And then Manon and Asteryn. So Asteryn says, like,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: we need to talk. They fly away. They fly away,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: some field, really nice flower field or whatever. And so
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Astrin's like talking to Manon and she's like, I, she
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: just tells her this story that she was never going
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to tell anyone. Basically she was 28 years old when
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this happened. So this is like nearly a hundred years ago.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Manon's never heard about this. So she's 28 years old
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and the witches back in the day, like when magic
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: was a thing. So they've always gone around just like
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: hunting the other witches that put a curse on their land.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And so they would all go out on their own.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Like the 13 were very rarely together. And so Manon,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Hearing this story from Astrid, she says, so I was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: 28 years old. I was in a mountain pass or whatever.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And I saw, I met a hunter, human. He lived
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in a cottage and basically fell in love with him, right?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: She stays with him for a while. You know, she
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: stays with him for quite a while because it's not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like they're all immortal. It's not uncommon to not see
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: someone for years. Stays with him and ends up falling pregnant.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Goes back to Manon's grandmother. And she tells her grandmother.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And then her grandmother keeps her safe and hidden for
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: ages while she's having this baby. Turns out the baby
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: dies and her grandmother is furious about it. Beats Astra
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: into a pulp, nearly kills her. And she, because it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like very, very dishonorable or some shit for the witches
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to lose a witchling because it's like rare to have them,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I guess. And so basically she beats her up beats
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to a pulp she's like wants to kill her she
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: hates her um cuts scars into her belly i believe
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the word unclean and man on's like how the fuck
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have i never seen this shit i swear i've seen
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you shirtless but she's like only when she's a kid
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: but only when we were witchlings yeah what the fuck
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is this she was 28 at this point yeah witchlings
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: anymore then anyway man on it kind of cries a bit.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe, I don't know if she cries
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: or not, but she's kind of the ghost. She's the ghost.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: She goes, you're number two again. Yeah. By the way,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you're number two. Hates her grandma now. And also the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: reason that Asterin took, takes her out and tells her
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this story is because she's like, we can't let them
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: do what they're doing to these witches, to our coven.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And so that was her way of trying to convince her. Anywho.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So I think that, Well.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: That made Manon see that her grandma was a bitch.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's made Manon see officially that her
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: grandma is crazy. Which I predicted. Didn't know how. I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I think you predicted. I said Manon's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: going to see somehow that. Yeah. So then she goes, well,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they like hatch a plan right then and there. They
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: don't tell us about the plan, of course. They never
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: tell us about the plan. We only figure out about
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the plan when it's happening, which is annoying because we're
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: reading it and we're supposed to be reading their inner dialogue,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: which really annoys me, but it makes the book good,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I guess. And yeah. They go back to Morath. Astrid's like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: what are we going to do? And she goes, we
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: better talk about this shit. We're going to go back
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to Morath. And yeah, so, and then yeah, Reinstates, as
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I say. Cool. Chapter 64. We have made it back,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, we've made it back to the apartment,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Selina and crew, Aelin and crew. We've made it back
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to the apartment into Rifthalt. And Lysandra and Evangeline is
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: with them. And Selina, Aelin, kind of. which I haven't
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: changed what I call her, she gives Lysandra a note
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and it's a note from Clarice that says, all debts
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: are paid and your freedom is yours. Oh my God,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you're the best ever. And Lysandra's crying. Aelin, fuck you.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: How can you look good while you're crying? Go live
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a good life with blah, blah, blah. And then I'm
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: pretty sure it's at this point. I don't remember if
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it happens later, it doesn't matter. But she says, you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't buy you your freedom so I could own you.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Your freedom is yours and your choice is yours, but
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I will have you know. that Adion told me there's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a bit of land up in Terrasin that is no
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: one's land anymore, which means it's technically mine.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: It was after Aelin becomes the queen.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Or is it now? Ah, okay. Anywho, basically. But yeah.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Aelin is like, yo, we've got some land up there.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: It needs a lady. Yeah. It needs a high lady
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: or whatever. So that happens a little later, but then...
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: She's like, I don't know how to rule. And Selene
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: is like, I don't know how to rule either. We're
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: doing it together.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: All right. Then, for some reason, Astryn and Manon head
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to Rifthold. That was where they got, sorry, that's where
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they go from the flower thing. And they're like, Manon
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: says to Astryn, we're going to go back to Morath,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but first we have to go to, we have to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: go to Rifthold. And we don't know why yet. We
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: don't know why. Elide's still in the dungeons. She's fucking
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: been down there for like four days and she's starting
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to accept that like, The 13 don't give a fuck
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: about her. They don't actually care. She's stuck down here.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: She's done, done, done, done. This is my life now.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Chapter 65. Rowan heads up onto the roof because he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: can smell Lorcan. He's up there. He's chatting with Lorcan.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Lorcan goes, the word hounds, they're dead. Fuck you for
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: doing that, by the way. Then they're talking and I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: think they just have a back and forth. I can
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: tell they have a bit of rapport.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I felt like, Lorcan then was like way too understanding
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: and nice.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It seems sus to me. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when I was listening to it, he's like, oh, yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: all the word hands, whatever.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they're dead. I killed them all.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: 12 of them. They're dead. Done. Easy. Don't worry about it, mate.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And I was kind of thinking, this guy's a beast. Yeah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that's what I was just saying. I was like, this
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: guy's a beast, bro. Bit weird. Everyone's like, Rowan, most
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: skilled fucking full-blooded fey. Clearly, this Demi fey fucks him
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: off by a bit. Yeah, clearly.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Lawhead.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Rowan got in his own head.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. About everything. And he doubted his ability. I'm like, mate,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you're meant to be the fucking best stepper. You're fucking Rowan, bro. Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Dead set. Now, they're having a bit of a back
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and forth and Lorcan still has this ring. So, he
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: took that ring that's supposed to be paired with Galadri's,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the sword, right? That will protect you from the Valg
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Prince's magic. The sword Selene's got? The sword Selene has, right?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And so, he was like, you're an idiot for getting
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: rid of that ring, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anywho. Now,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: him and Rowan are having a back and forth. They're
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: talking and Lorcan knows what they're going to be doing
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: tomorrow or the next day or whatever, and in a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: few days they're about to go try and free magic. Now, he... Basically,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Rowan and him make a trade because we know Lorcan's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: going to find all the word keys and he's doing
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it because he's doing it for Maeve and he's serving
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Maeve and he's going to destroy the word keys because
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want Maeve to get them because he thinks
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that she will then become a prisoner of the Valg
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: or some shit or she'll be a bad ruler. And
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: so he's like, you know I can do this. You
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: know I can get the word keys, and I know
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you have one. And then Rowan's kind of like, okay, well,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: what's the go with this ring? Like, dead serious, this
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: motherfucker will protect from the Valk. And then Lorcan says,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: on my honor, on everything. Rowan says, well, never heard
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: him lie. May as well do it. They trade ring
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: for word key. And then I'm wigging out a bit here.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, bro, Rowan, you're about to break our heart.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Selene doesn't, Aelin doesn't know about this. Goes down, talks
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to Aelin. She goes, did you know it was a fake?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: These motherfuckers gave him a fake word key. You were right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I was wigging out about. I was saying amulet,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but it was a word key. Yeah. But the word
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: key is in the Amulet of Orinth. Yeah. The Orinth
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Amulet or whatever. Anywho, pretty cool. I think it's cool. Dorian,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: we get a little Dorian moment. He's wrestling the demon
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in him still, but he remembers Manon. And the demon's
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: kind of like saying to him, don't you remember that name?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: That's fucking... And again, 100%, she... 100% is direct descendant
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of the king of the Alexei. Are you starting to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: believe me or did you always believe me? No, I'm
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: starting to believe you. Okay. Kael and Aelin, they finally chat.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Is this where everyone's telling me that he's going to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: get his redemption in this book? Because they have a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: good chat and he apologizes for everything. She apologizes for shit.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And he's like, basically, you deserve to be queen. You're
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: not a monster. He just like takes back everything he said.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that was much redemption. Yeah, he just apologized.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: It's like you've dated a toxic ex and then like
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a year later, they call you and want to feel
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: better about themselves and closure.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Say, oh yeah, I've grown now. I need closure. I
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: need to tell you that what I did was wrong. Bro, legit. Like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: don't talk to me. I mean, I thought it was
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: kind of nice to be fair. It was kind of nice.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But then she also says to him that she thinks
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he deserves to be happy. Yeah. And that he thinks
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that he should be with Nezrin. And then he goes,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's if Nezrin wants to be with me. And then
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: she goes, motherfucker, I see the way she looks at you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Trust me, she wants you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Well, Kale was still like, wasn't his inner dialogue like.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this moment.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Like, didn't he say something like that? I've been waiting
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: since as soon as she's come back to have this
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: conversation with her.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: What, with Selena, with Aylin? Yeah. That something was going
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to happen? I don't know. Ever since Selena left. No,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: he's not still in love with her, Bob. Yeah, he's not.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But I swear he's like, I've been waiting for this moment.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I could say so many things, but then he was
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: so calm. Or was that Selena? I have no idea.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I can't really remember. I smashed through these chapters again. Yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you did.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Even one of them said that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: No, it was Kale. Yeah, he's like, I've been waiting
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for this moment for so long. And he just didn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: say anything. Oh, is this when he was being a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: dick to her at the beginning? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: He's like, I've got so much to say to her
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and everything. I want to say everything, but I just
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: can't say it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You're not talking about right now. You're talking about the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: beginning of the book? No, I'm saying right now. Oh,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I can't even. And then Selene is like, he's just
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: so cool, calm and collected. Well, anyway, it doesn't really matter.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Kael and Nesrin go for a little stroll together. They
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: go to a temple where, and she goes to this,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: she takes him to this temple, right? And she sits
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: down and basically is like, um, You need to promise
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: me that you're going to walk out of that castle
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: after you guys go kill Dorian and the king. So... Wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: After you guys go kill Dorian and the king. That's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: their plan is they're going to kill Dorian and the king. So...
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And free magic. There's a bunch of different shit. Anyway.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He goes, I promise I'll be walking out of that castle.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: The word walk is very, very important. Very important. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: missed that at the time. So did I. I missed
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it at the time. The word walk is very important.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But you're not going to fucking.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: yeah you gotta walk out that guy whatever so the
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: plan is that rowan and adion go into the sewers
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: with the hellfire and then they can get from the
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: sewers they can get all the way to underneath um
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: they they go sewers castle.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Like dungeons and then they get to where um selena
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was in book one or two where she ended up
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: underneath the big tower yep and so they get there
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: right that's that's the plans they're gonna go there They're
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: going to set off the hellfire and then they're going
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to fucking book it because they're the only ones that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: are going to be fast enough to maybe get away
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: from there. All the while, Selina and Kale are going
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to be in the castle distracting. But in the castle,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: they're far enough away where this explosion isn't going to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: get them. The way Selina... Selina's plan was shit. You reckon?
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I reckon when she goes, I'm just going to go
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: through the front door with Kale. And then Kale's been
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: deserted for however months. And then he goes, I saw Kale...
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: At the shipyard.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. To say he confessed everything to me. Now he's here.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And they also. But the whole idea is like. She
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: just wants to get in there. The distractor. So she
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: can kill them. Yeah. It's like. Magic will come back.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And then she can kill them with the magic. So. Hey.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: That's it. It is what it is.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Ah yes.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Chapter 66. Selene. Lysandra wants to help. She says no.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Get out of the city. You know. Take Evangeline. Go.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Go to the blah blah blah. Like the. Hinterlands where.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Where Nezrin's family is. And just chill there for a bit. Now.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: This is just like morning off. I think it's the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: morning of the day before they plan to go do
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: all this. Kill the king, kill Dorian, release magic, everything.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind, this is also my favorite part of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the book. Keep in mind, Manon and Nastran, they flew
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to Riftholt, right? Why did they fly to Riftholt? Because
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: they went around the entire city. Selene is like wigging out.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: She's out. She's going to get some breakfast, right? A
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: bit of sustenance for a big day. She's going out and...
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: They're in the slums and down at the end of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: this alleyway, there's just a crowd of people. She's walking in,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: she's going through. Then she gets to the end and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: she sees on the wall written in Valk blood with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a dead commander underneath is witch killer. The prince is
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: still in there. And I was like, that's fucking hectic.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: That was cool. And so Astrin and Manon went around
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the whole city killing a bunch of the Valk motherfuckers
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and wrote that like witch killer, blah, blah, blah. The
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: prince is still in there. Don't kill him type shit.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Just so she would see it. She runs to Kael's apartment.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: She runs to Kael's apartment. So, there's still hope. What
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it actually says is Witchkiller, the human, is still inside him. Anywho. Cool.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Chapter 67, we've got Kael and Selene. They split up
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: from Aedion and Rowan because they all have different plans.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And Aedion actually gives Selene her father's sword. I don't
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: know why. Because I thought she said to him ages ago, like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: it's yours, keep it. Was it just out of like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: he was being nice? To use it? Yeah. That's it?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They must have had a plan. Because
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he's not planning to fight. He didn't know the... But
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he didn't know that they're going to get ambushed, which
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: is a spoiler. But if you haven't read the book,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: then you shouldn't be watching this podcast. He probably thinks
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: he's just running. He's like, I don't need a sword, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: she needs it more than him.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like she's going in with like every guard ever.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And also, really dumb is you're going to find out, right? Like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I'll say it when we get there. Anywho. All right, cool. So,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: chapter 68. Kael and Selene arrive to the castle and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: she's got him in chains, acting as if she is
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: still the king's champion that has just got home from
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Wendelin and caught Kael, the deserter that has been blah, blah, blah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They let her in. Also, spiked up on the outside
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of the fucking gates of the castle is all Kael's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: men that were inside. They killed them all. Yeah. Heads
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: on spikes. Kael's furious. He's devoured. Anywho, they get in,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: go into the king's throne room and there's the king, Dorian.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: He kind of shoos everyone away, right? Straight away, the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: king's like, They're talking some shit, but straight away, the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: king says, obviously, you're Aelin. You know, I'm not fucking dumb.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: You're obviously Aelin. I don't know how I didn't say
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it at the start, but obviously. Now, here's the thing, right?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: She actually says, like, she didn't expect him to figure
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: it out that quick, but she kind of, like, fuck it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: We're freestyling here. Let's just go with it. We just
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: got to bide our time, wait for the explosion, kill, kill, kill. So,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: what weirded me out was, before she goes into the castle,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Aedion gives her the sword that was taken When he
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: was recaptured from the king, you know, what's it called?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Saved from the king, right? The king is going to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: see the sword of Orenth on her and be like, well,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: where'd you get that? And why did you give her
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the sword?
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: And she mentions that the guards didn't take any of
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: her weapons because they think she's Selene and she's coming back.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't clock that. And like, even when he says,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you're obviously Aelin. It was a shit plan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: he knew that. I always knew he knew that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like the king being so smart, like, why
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: would he let her in with weapons if she's fucking
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Aelin Galathineus?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Because he's like, I'm all powerful and I give a fuck. Still,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: but better be safe than sorry.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: If I'm the king, I'm fucking being safe.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually a good point. It's like, if you
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: know that she's Aelin. Yeah, I'm being safe. No weapons, gal. Doing, bro.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'm chanting you up as soon as I see you.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: You're not even coming in the same room as me. Um,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: One thing I'll add is that everyone has, before they
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: all went into this, she's got everyone to paint word
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: marks on themselves for safety. Chapter 70. Sorry, I skipped.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of chapters in one just then.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Chapter 70. Rowan and Adion, they finally get to this thing, right?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: They're setting up the hellfire. They're setting up the fuses
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and then something drips on them and they're wigging out.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: They look up. All seven word hounds still alive. Lorcan
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: didn't kill a single one. Bloody Lorcan. And then what
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: he's noticed is Kael, a part of Kael's like clothing
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: dripped down from them. And so Lorcan had actually given
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: them Rowan's scent, not Kael's scent, Rowan's scent. So they
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: could find them. Yeah. Anyway, they're thinking, fuck. Dang. And
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: then obviously they have to fight the motherfuckers, but they're off.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And they're getting fucked up. Yeah. They end up kind
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of getting fucked up. Is the alien a beast or not? Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Adion's supposed to be a beast. He's a beast, yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But these guys are fucking... Lorcan couldn't kill them, bro. Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus fucking Christ. So they're fighting them. And the plan was,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: at noon, magic... Explosion goes off, magic's back. But they're
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: fighting the word hounds, so noon passes. Selina looks out,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: she knows it's noon. She's like, oh fuck, what's going
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: on down there? This is fucking bad. This is not good.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Then Selina... reveals that she has the eye of Elena
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to the king, right? And she's like, you know what
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I've got here? The only thing that's put your fucking
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Val Prince King or whatever this guy, Erewhon or whatever
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: his name is, the king that's under Morath, this is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the only thing that can wake him up, isn't it?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So if you want it. How'd you get that? Come
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and fucking get it type of shit. But what we
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: don't know is that she leaves, brushes past Kael, right?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: By the way, Dorian's in the throne room. The king
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: makes this whole thing of saying, Neil, do this, do that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: He's got full control over him, whatever. Now, Cael's in there,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and the plan is, Aelin lures Dorian out, and Cael
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: kills the king. But he knows he's sacrificing himself, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: even though he's lied to Nesrin, saying he's going to
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: walk out of this castle. Anyway, walk past, and Selene
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: slips the eye of Elena into Cael's pocket, which... I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: knew happened, but it's like everyone's making out that they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: don't know how it happened. I didn't clock it. I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: clocked that. No, I didn't. Anyway. So I think I'm
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: just going to freestyle from here until like it's like
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: kind of hectic shit goes down, but I'm just going
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to freestyle for a minute. Well, it gets good. Yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: It was good, but it gets even better. I'm going to. Oh, wait. Yeah. Oh, wait. No,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: there's actually some fucking good shit going on here. I'm
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: not going to freestyle this bad. I'm going to keep going. Okay, okay.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep going because I, like, forgot some stuff. Like,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: just blue balls. So, right now, it's now... We're at
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a point where... So, Rowan, Adion getting fucked up by
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: these word hounds. Kayle, Selina, they're both going to try
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and kill their respective people that they're going to try
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and kill. But actually, Dorian's alive inside the prince. so
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: we believe that so what sorry what alien gonna try
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and do is like get him out so she dips
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: dorian chases her kale stays there with the king so
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: she's dipped right and she um she's like running through
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the castle she knows the castle real well she got
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: all the plans And she's running, Dorian's catching her, right?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And she has to just like, she's like jumping off buildings,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: like fucking doing all this crazy ass shit, right? And
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: then fucking Dorian starts to kind of like fuck her
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: up a bit. Now go back to the POV of
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Rowan and Adion. They are getting fucked up by these
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: word hounds, but they're kind of holding true. They've killed
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: like three of them now. There's still four left. Then
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: happy old days. Number one, some crazy shit happens like, Um,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: because they're like definitely mated in some sort of bonded
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: blood oath or whatever. Some ice gets like shredded into
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: fucking from Dorian. Some ice gets like shredded into Aelin's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: back and she's like, ah, ah. And then, um, Rowan's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: kind of getting fucked up. But then, um, Dorian comes
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: up full like ice knife, stabs Aelin in the fucking side.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Rowan full on feels it. Then out of nowhere, we're
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: back down fighting the word hounds and fucking Lorcan comes
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere for some reason. And he's starting to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: help out. Don't know why. I actually don't know. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: he comes in, he starts to fuck up the word
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: hounds and help them out a bit. So they finally
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: fuck up the word hounds. And then Kael, we're going
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Kael POV. He's talking to the king and he's like,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: let's fucking go, ussy. King goes, fuck you, pussy. Gets
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: some fucking black magic. Just like makes it out as
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: if he kills Kael. That was the worst lineup ever, bud. Yeah, Kael, gone. King,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: going to find Dorian and Aelin. Cool. Now, they... Wordhounds, dead. Hellfire,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: about to go off. They light the fuse. Lorcan, Adion, Rowan, running. Bro, running. Boom.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: About time. They're back in the sewers. Boom. All right,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: there's a big-ass boom. Magic's back. Yay. Everyone's wigging out. Now, Aelin,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: her magic's back. So she can fuck with Dorian. She
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: can get him out. This whole time, by the way,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: she's like, Dorian, I know you're in there. I know
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you're in there. I know you're in there. Now, they
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: are like up on a bridge between big towers of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the castle, right? They're like up on this bridge between
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the big towers of the castle. And that's when magic
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: returns and she feels it. Also heals, like she was stabbed.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: She heals. And we have... Her, Dorian, and I can't
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: actually fully remember. Do you remember what happens with, like,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: how she releases him? How she releases Dorian?
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I thought the king comes into the equation first.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: He does come into the occasion, actually.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And then, because he goes, I wanted to play with
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Cael more.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, here we go. The king comes back. And he's
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: talking to Dorian and Aelin, right? And he says, so
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: she goes, I take it Kael's dead. He goes, my
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: only regret is I didn't get to spend more time
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: killing him. That's what snaps Dorian out of it. Yes.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: He goes, you killed Kael? What? And then, so what happens?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: So he says, you killed Kael? And the king's kind
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: of like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then what happens
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: is Dorian snaps himself out of it. Right? Kola comes off.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: King's like, nah, impossible. What was your prediction? Is that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: what you said? No, I think I thought, didn't I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: think Madden was going to come do it? Maybe. No, no.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I thought similar. I was wrong. What I thought was
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: going to happen was that the same thing that happened
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to Kaltain was going to happen to Dorian, where he
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: was going to figure it out on his own. But no,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: he couldn't. So I think what I thought was going
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to happen was magic was going to be freed. Dorian
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: was going to realize magic's freed. So if he somehow
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: can overcome this prince in him, he was going to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: be able to use the magic. But no, what ends
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: up happening is Kael's dead, snaps Dorian out of it.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And then somehow you fuck the demon inside of him.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I said a kiss from Kale will fix him. You
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: didn't say that. Somehow the demon inside of him fucks up.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I can't fully remember. But then something also happens with
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: like the king, right? And this is something you predicted. So,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: number one. So, let's think about this. Yeah, nice. Nice.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: King arrives on the bridge, he says he killed Kao,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Doran finally backs control, and the Valg gets back control
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and snaps the collar off. Now, I want to say
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: that before all this happened, Rowan, Adion, Lorcan, running through
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the sewers. Every Valg fucking army soldier or some shit
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: is in the sewers. They're fighting through them. Rowan, he's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: got like a broken leg from the fucking, he's like
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a full-snapped leg from the wordhounds. He's getting fucked up. Now,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Lorcan and fucking Adion. They are like one, two V
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: one million fucking Valk soldiers. They're getting pumped. Lorcan, he's like, goes,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: he just like starts fucking shit up and he just
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: goes into the soldiers. He's left Adion alone. Adion's like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we're about to die, Rowan. Stands in front, he's like,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have one last stand. And Rowan's kind of like,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: my man, my man, don't do this. Then there's something
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: happening at the back, right? And randomly, just out of nowhere,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a shadow fucking cougar or whatever it was called that
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: they spoke about with Lysandra that one time, is just
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: like running through fucking up the Valk soldiers. And it's Lysandra.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: She's shifted into one of these things that she's never
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: seen before, which wigs me out. She's like, I have
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to have seen them to know what to shift into.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: She's like, I don't even know what I used to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: look like, so I can't shift into that. And now
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: magic's released and she can shift into something she's never seen. Loophole.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Hole in the story. What are you talking about? How'd
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: she know what a fucking shadow wolf or whatever it
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: is called? Yeah. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Fucking loophole, bro. Um, now,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: so magic's released and what actually happens is somehow the
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: hellfire explosion did a bunch of shit, but like there's
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: a gap somewhere in rubble small enough for Rowan to
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: turn into a hawk and fly through. So he does that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: He's like, I need to get to Aelin. So he
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: does that. He turns it and he's flying up and he's,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and he's watching like Aelin, Dorian and the King. Now,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Selene and Dorian, they, use their powers together.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: On the bridge, the king was about to kill Solan
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: because the king could take both of them without magic.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yes. Being released. Yes. He was going to kill Aelin. Yeah.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Aelin was gone. Aelin was going to die. But then
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: magic released. She feels it happened. And then her and Dorian,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: they like together, somehow bond their magic together and they
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: hit the king with it. And then it actually kind
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of like wigs the king out and knocks him out
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a bit of a thing. Right. And he's like, calls Dorian,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: my boy. He's like, Dorian, my boy. And so, Slane
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: is like, bro, what? She's kind of like, what the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: fuck are you talking about? And the king reveals that
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: he has what happened back in the day. So, Erowan,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: that king Val, already released, already awoken. What happened is
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: that him and Duke Parrington, back in the day when
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: they were young, they found out all this shit. And
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the king and Duke both got like possessed quite quickly
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: by the king. the King Valg, Duke Parrington, he's the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: fucking real villain. He's got the King inside him and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the King Valg. And there was just a Prince inside
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the King. Did you believe it at this point? Or
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: do you think he was trying to save himself? I
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: thought he was trying to save himself a bit, but
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's true. And you know how you were like,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I wonder if the King's really in there and he's
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: always trying to done stuff to like keep Dorian safe.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: You were right. He has always done things that have
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: tried to keep Dorian somewhat safe at some point. He's
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: always done what he can. And, The reason why the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: king got rid of magic is so Dorian could be safe. Yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: His family could be safe. And also just like the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: world could be safe because then it was so much
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: easier for the vow to sniff out all the magic
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: users and kill them and just like slaughter them while
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: magic was a thing. And now Solana's released it. And
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: now she's released the magic. So they're going to be
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: so much easier to sniff out. So they've got this
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: fucking big ass wall. They're going to have to fight. Um,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And he actually says that he didn't kill Kael. Doesn't
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: know how he's still alive. He's broken, but not dead.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Then Dorian's like, don't listen to him. Fuck this guy.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Fuck this guy. And Aelin's kind of thinking like, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. It seems like he's not lying. And he goes, no,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: fuck this guy. Fuck this guy. So then Dorian, he's
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: got raw, raw magic. Dorian's the most powerful person in
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: this book, I think. He's got proper raw magic. They
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: keep saying shit like that. Raw magic, he can do
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: whatever he wants, right? He, like, is a beast, obviously.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: And he just, like, obliterates the entire glass castle. Like,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's, like, humongous, right? Obliterates it, shatters
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: it to pieces. And Aelin's like, holy shit. We got
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Rowan up in the sky as a hawk and he's thinking,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: holy fuck, there's like a wall of glass about to
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: flood the entire city. It's just going to kill everyone.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: So Aelin, she just like flames the fuck out of
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: it and melts it. So cool. And she turns it
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: into this massive just wall of glass and it supposedly
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: kills the king. And also supposedly, yeah, supposedly it kills
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the king. You know what I'm saying? So that's one thing,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: which was cool. But um yeah and then Aelin and
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and Dorian are like both fucked from it they're both
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: anyway but pretty cool pretty cool you're saying supposedly he's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: they keep saying the king's dead but I think it's
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: like is he okay you know what I'm saying supposedly
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: he's dead they say he's dead but is he is
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: he um and then Dor and then Selenor So there's
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: obviously a big crowd now around the castle and Selene,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: she gets up, ends up on the ground somehow. Gets up.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: She's there with like Adion, fucking Rowan, blah, blah, blah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: And she talks to the city. She's like, my name's
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Aelin Ashriver Galathineus. I'm the rightful queen of Tarasin and
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I just killed your king. She says, me and my
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: court will be taking control of the city until Dorian,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: your new king, feels as though he is ready. And
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: on my word, I will be giving it to him.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: And then she goes on this whole speech of like,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: everyone that has a slave, free him. If I know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: if I hear of someone without a slave, sorry, if
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I hear of someone with a slave, I'm coming for you.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: She says, if any of you try to overthrow Dorian,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. If any of you try to
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: do this, I'm coming for you. This, I'm coming for you.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: She's like threatening the fuck out of the city. And
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: then they just like, she goes, well, no place like,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: No place better to go apart from the fucking castle
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: we just overthrew. May as well go stay there. So
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: then they go into the castle. She drops down. Balls
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: her eyes out. Balls her eyes out.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: When you say the glass castle's gone, where are they going?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Inside the glass castle, the glass castle was built outside
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: of the original stone castle. And that's still there? That's
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: still there.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I thought it was all obliterated and there was just
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: nothing there. So the stone castle, I think, is still
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: relatively large, but the glass castle is huge.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Right. So interesting. Pretty cool. Yeah, see? But, okay. Let's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: go now. Oh, we got some fucking Manon chapters. That
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: was like story. That was the story we didn't get.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Something that was really cool is there's a little Manon
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: chapter in all that. I just talked about, there was
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: a little Manon like dialogue moment, but I didn't, I
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: just like went over it. They were flying back from
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Rift Halt back to Morath, her and Astrum. And she
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: feels the magic come back. And she says, it just feels,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: she's like, oh my God, I'm immortal again. I can
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: feel it. Has like a big Yahoo moment. Anyway, We
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: are back at Morath and Vernon goes to visit Elide
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: now that magic is freed to see what happened. If
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: the witch blood in her is awoken type shit. She's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: trying to get out, can't get out. Manon returns. She's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in her room and she's like, where's Elide? And then
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: she starts to say herself, oh, you know, she's probably
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: spying on anyone that can help her do anything. You know,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: she's a good spy. Then she realizes that her scent
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is very stale in her room. She's like, she hasn't
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: been in here for ages. She's wigging out. She's like, fuck,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: she really wanted to go home and sleep for like
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: three days. And she's like, fuck, I gotta go fucking
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: save a lead. She goes, she gets the 13 and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: there's like three different sets of dungeons in Morath. I
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: didn't realize how big Morath is. It's like a massive,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: massive fortress. And so they're whipping through the dungeons, all
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the fucking 13. They're whipping through the dungeons, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: They get in finally, door opens, Manon, Manon there saves
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a lead. Alid, come here. Let's fucking go. What she
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: catches happening, what happens actually is she catches Alid being drawn.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: She just got taken out of her dungeons by two
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Valk soldiers. They put a robe on her. She's buck
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: ass naked underneath. They put a robe on her and
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: then like her tit falls out or some shit. And like,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: it's like all real. It's like real bad. And Manon
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: walks in on it. And she just says, the two
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Valk soldiers, she's like, you guys are fucking dead. She
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: apparently arm through the neck, grabs the spine, pulls it out. Yeah.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And then just like fucking cuts the head off the
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: other one with her nails. Good. And then she goes
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to take a lead. She's like, okay, we got to go.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: You got to run. We're going to get out of here.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And they run into Kaltain. Lady Kaltain's down there and
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: she goes, you're never going to get out of here,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: but I know what to do. They only ever see
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: what they want to see. And so she changes clothes
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: with a lead. She goes, this isn't going to work.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I look nothing like you. But then she remembers back
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to when she ran into Verne and talked to Kaltain
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and he goes, you guys could be sisters. You and
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Kaltain could be sisters. And she's like, maybe we look
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: more alike than we think. And Kaltain goes, yes, trust me.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And then Kaltain cuts her fucking wrist open and she hands,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: if wrapped in fabric, she hands something to Alide. And
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: it's a fucking word key. Duke Parrington has put a
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: word key inside of Kaltain. So now we know where
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: two of them are. Where's the third? Do we know? Anyway,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: she's like, don't fucking lose that, BT dubs. So then Manon, Astran,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: they take a lead out of the dungeons. And Kaltain,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: she's kind of like, oh, I've really just been waiting
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: for this moment. Magic's been fully released. I've got no
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: demon inside me. And she's given up on life, but
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: she hasn't given up trying to save at least some people.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: She pretty much desolates with her fire. Desolates Like half
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: of the Morath. Half of it, right? All the covens
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that were having the babies, the Valk babies, kills them,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: puts them out of their misery. All the babies that
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: had been born, kills them. Gone. All the Valk demons,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: fucking that were in Morath at least, gone-skis. Half the
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: fucking keep, Morath keep, gone. But Kautain also dies at
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the same time. Apparently. I thought she was dead.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Surely.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Apparently she's dead. She sacrificed herself. And while all of
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: this happened... Manon and the 13 take a lead and
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: they fly away. But the good thing about that is
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: that Kaltain killing everyone means that no one's going to
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: be able to say that Manon just went down and
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: saved a lead. So happy fucking days.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: When they are flying away, does Manon say to a lead,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: a lead's like, oh shit, you're a beast again.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: And then she goes, oh yeah, Aelin Galathineus fucking released magic.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: And she goes, Aelin Galathineus. Yes, she does say that.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Aelin Galathineus. She says, Aelin Galathanius has released magic. And
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: then she's like, what? She goes, that's it. Your queen's alive, broski. Oh,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I forgot to say ages ago that Rowan and Selene kiss.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: There was one kiss and they didn't want to do
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it anymore.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: No, Selene was cheeky as fuck. She goes like, survive tomorrow.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: You can have the rest.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's right. They full like kiss. And he's like,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: oh my God, I want to fuck you. And she goes.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: If we survive, you can have the rest. Yeah. I
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: forgot about that. Don't cock-tease us like that, though. It
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: better be a sex scene after. Oh, fuck.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: So, we are now in the... We learned that Lorcan
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: took the ring back from Selina while she was unconscious. What? Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Selina's wigging out. She wakes up, right? She's been asleep
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: for like three days. And Rowan's in her room. She's
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: wigging out. That's when they kiss. Yep. But she also
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: is like, oh, where'd the fucking, oh, that's right. She
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: used the fucking ring. And that's why the king couldn't
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: kill her. And also why like Dorian's magic couldn't do like,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, all that type of shit. Okay. Anyway.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: So she realizes the ring's gone and thinks that Lorcan
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: took it from her while she was unconscious before she
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: woke up. So Lorcan has a ring back. So if
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: he has it back, that's why. We don't know if
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: he has it back. Is Lorcan good or bad?
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Because did we find out why he came to help
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: Rowan and Adion?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Honor? Honor. He felt bad. I don't know.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Or did he figure out that the amulet or the
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: word key or whatever was fake?
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: And then he's like, oh shit. And then he's like, oh,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: I might as well help you while I'm here.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I just don't fucking know. I genuinely don't know. Someone
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: please in the comments. Help us out. Someone sent a
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: picture of Lorcan and that helped. Yeah? Sexy? Yeah. Yeah.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Dorian visits Kael for the first time. Yeah.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: All right. And what we find out is that the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: king actually broke Kael's spine from the waist down. Kael
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: is paraplegic. Yeah. And he's like, fuck. He's all pissed off.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: He goes, can no one heal me? Dorian said, Rowan.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Didn't want to do what he thought he could make.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: He did his best he could. Without Rowan, you'd be
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: a quadriplegic. But he didn't want to fuck with the
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: legs because he said, I don't know what I'm doing
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: here and I don't want to make it worse. And
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: so then Dorian says... I'd be like, have a crack, brother. Yeah,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Dorian's like... But there's no more healers. We have no
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: more magical healers because obviously my dad killed them all.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: So you're going to have to go to fucking... There's
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: a southern continent. Where, remember in Assassin's Blade, the woman
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: that worked at like that pig pony, you know, whatever,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: like the white pig. Yeah, the nurse. The one that
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: wanted to go train at like where the best human
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: healers train. They're not magic healers, they're human healers, but
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: they are the best in the world. I remember you
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: saying she'll come back into it. Obviously, she's coming back
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: into it.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So, Dorian says, you know, you're going to have to
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: go there. And... find a healer that can maybe heal you.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: And Kael's like, well, I'm not doing it unless they
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: know they can heal me. And Dorian's like, it's a
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: risk you're going to have to take, my bro. It's
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: a risk you're going to have to take. And then,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: so then he says, well, at least you have a
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: great guide. And then Nezrin's at the door. And Nezrin's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: from the southern continent. He says, well, at least you
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: have a great guide. And then Dorian leaves. And he says,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: and I need you to get up and get the
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: fuck out of here. Go fix your legs because to
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: be the king's hand, we're going to have a lot
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: of work to do. Kael's like, what? I can't be
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: the king's hand. And Dorian's like, if I don't want
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: to be king. you're fucking gonna do this shit with
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: me you're the one that freed me you fucker the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: boys are back yeah so i was kind of like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that's a hateful union anywho nezrin sits down she's like
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: kind of crying and he goes and she's like um
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: uh what is it they make a joke is it
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: here Basically, there's a joke. Right now, Nezrin is the
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: temporary captain of the guard and Kael is the king's hand.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: And also the place where the real healers are is
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: called Tora Sesme in the southern continent. But they make
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: like a fucking joke. Kael's like, well, I did promise
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I'd get out. I guess I... He says something like,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I guess I didn't promise I'd walk out. Yeah, he
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: said something, the clock of not walking. No, no, no.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Here's what I think happened is when she says promise,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: she says promise you'll get out of the castle alive.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: He says, I promise. And then she sits down and
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: she's crying and he goes, well, I didn't promise I'd
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: walk out. And then she starts crying more and he goes,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: but better not make any jokes. But I thought that
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: was funny. Chapter 85. Manon and the 13 take a
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: lead into the forest, a vocal forest. That's where she
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: tells her the king is dead and Aelin Ashriver Galathineus
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: is alive. She says, I can't take you any further
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: from here, but here's some clothes, here's some money. Go
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: north and find your queen. Then she says, if you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: better not hope that we meet each other in the battlefield.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what? Madden, I thought you were good.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, what do you mean? I thought you
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: were fucking good, Madden. Also just like go on your
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: own and figure it out. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: But I also kind of thought as well, if I
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: was a lead, the witches have just got all their
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: power back. I've figured out how to be a witch. Yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Go be useful. Yeah. They also had the wyverns. Why
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: don't they just fly her over to Riffhold? And fly back.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Why don't they just fly her to Terrace and... Yeah.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know why she can't go any further. Yeah.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Because she was just there. She was literally... And... It
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: takes you a day to fly to Riftholt. Fly an
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: extra day, day and a half to Terrace and drop
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: her off at Orenth so she's waiting for Aelin when
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: she gets there. And Aelin likes the witches. She does now. Yeah,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: she does.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Because of that.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Weird. Anywho. Unless... Anywho. Is Madden's grandma still alive? Yes. Yeah.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: It must be something to do with that. And she
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: also just got her fucking... Magic back. Yeah. So got
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: to keep that in mind. Chapter 87, Duke Parrington and
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Vernon both survived at Morath and still plan to fight.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Chapter 88, Selina is talking to Kale and she's like,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy, I'm glad Dorian and Kale are
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: both there. And she says, you know, I know you
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: have to go to Southern Continent, fix your legs. You know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: we need you back. She says, while you're there, I
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: need you to try and get friendly with the royal
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: family of the southern continent because we're going to need
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: all the help we can get. And here's something, right?
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I have a prediction. Kael, his new, so the only
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: reason Kael has agreed to do it is because he
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: looks at Dorian and Dorian nods, right? And I understand
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: like you're the king's hand, right? But like, I have
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: a feeling he's going to have more moments in the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: series where we're going to be like, for fuck's sakes, Kael.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Make a decision for yourself and don't make every decision
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: based off your loyalty to the fucking king. But everyone
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: says they love Kael now. Surely he's changed. So hopefully. Surely. Yeah,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: I hope so. Anyway, I was just like, fuck. He
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: looks at Dorian for permission. I was like, for fuck's sakes, Kael.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Back to his old roots already. For fuck's sakes. Anywho.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: And then everyone... is headed back and Lysandra's with them.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: And sorry, you're right. This is like when she says,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a bit of land up there you
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: can have. It needs a lady. Woo-hoo, woo-hoo. And they
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: get there. Then there's a little scene, a random little scene. Dorian,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: so Selene and everyone have left. They're on their way
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: back to Terrasin. And there's a little cheeky scene where
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Dorian's like looking out the window. He's looking up the
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: very top of this big wall of glass that Selene
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: made where the castle was turned into this big wall
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: of glass. And he's like sort of daydreaming. And then
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: he sees, sat up, On the top of the glass
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: is a wyvern with a very beautiful woman of moonlight hair. Manon.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: So they didn't talk, but she just flies away. They
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: just nodded at each other or some shit and then
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: she flies away. Did she want to say that Dorian
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: was free? I guess. Because she didn't know. Also. Are
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: her and Dorian mated? Confirmation that they're going to be together, right,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: is the fact that Astrid fell in love with a
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: human and Dorian's technically a human but has magic, right? Also,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: when Astrid's done telling her story, Manon asks her, what
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: was it like? And Astrid's like, what? And she goes,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: being in love. Oh. And this is after, I think
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: she fell in love at first sight with the fucking
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Prince Dorian. Yeah, and that's why he came out for
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: a little second. That's their major. Yeah, that's correct. The
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: mating bond brought them out. Yeah, I agree. Book ends with,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: they're all, Walking along, Aelin and crew, they crest a hill,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and Adion goes, hey, see that rock? We passed that rock.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: We're in Tarasin. They pass that rock, and they're in Tarasin,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: and the book ends. Good book. Good book. Great book.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Good book. Very good book. I'm very entertained.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Great book. Overall feeling, honestly, I think this might be
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: the best book so far.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: 100%. Easy. Next book? It's supposed to be wicked.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: It feels like there's going to be so much action.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I'm loving these storylines.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Now we've got a Kale POV, Selena or Aileen, Manon,
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: and then also Dorian.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: There's four different versions of shit. Here's the thing is
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that the reason why people do
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: a tandem read for the next two books, if you
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to do the tandem read, I don't think we're
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: going to do it. We're going to go for it
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and just do book back-to-back and not tandem read them. So,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the next two books, they are both happening at the
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: same time. Yeah. And that's why people tandem read them. So,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: what I think is the next book is Aelin and crew.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: And the book after that is Kael, Dorian, Nesrin. Yep.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: And we're not going to get their POVs at all
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: or maybe a very little bit in the next book.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: The next book is going to be all Aelin, maybe
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: some Manon, obviously. But you know what I mean?
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Manon's storyline seems to go with Dorian now.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, maybe not. So, that's... And so, then... the
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: second to last book is going to be Kael going
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: to the southern continent and getting his legs fixed, finding
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the healer that was sent to the Tora Sesme by
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Selene and then, you know, getting friendly with the king
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: and queen of wherever they are, the southern city continent.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: So that's interesting. But I don't even know because I
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: didn't think the king was, I didn't expect Duke Parrington
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: to be the actual evil one. I didn't expect the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: king to die. I didn't think the king would die.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Duke Parrington is now the evil. The one
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: that they've got to.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Solana's going to go back to.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: What's the guy? I don't know who it's going to
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: happen to. Yeah. It could go anywhere.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Like Lorcan, I still don't understand his character in this.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Lorcan is just a beast. And he's going to just
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: end up fighting for Derrison. I know it. It has
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: He teams up with him and Rowan and we'll come
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: boys again.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, the whole Cordray, surely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: Shit.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Any other predictions? I don't really have.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Any other predictions? So we've said that Mountain and Dorian
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: are going to be mated. If not mated, definitely together.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: And he's going to grant them back. the witch's lands
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: or the witches are going to be welcome in Ardalan.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: And that's going to be their lands.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: The way Madden acting seems like she doesn't want to
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: like align with.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Anyone to me. She's going to kill her grandmother. Oh yeah.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: She'll kill her grandmother. So I have this feeling that Maeve,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Queen Maeve over in fucking Dorinel. Yeah. And the Wendland.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Aelin's going to kill her. I just have this feeling
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: she still is part of the story. I think Aelin's
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: got a killer. Yeah.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: And then Lorcan helps infiltrate her because he realizes she's
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: actually evil and teams up with him.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait a second. Wait a second. So, wait a second.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Is there not mention of Adion's dad? We missed something.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I swear there was a crazy mention of Adion's dad.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: That was before that though.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: The bomb drop.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: That was in the last chapters.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: So we know that Gavriel was Adion's dad, right? And
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: then we know... I swear there was a mention of
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Adion's dad in the fact that Gavriel was like here.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: The only bit I remember is Selander goes, oh yeah,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Adion's acting as king or whatever and he's soaking it up.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm fucking sick. Yeah, he was just acting as...
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: whatever it's called. He was just put in charge of
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: like the city. And he's just soaking up.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: He's like soaking it up. Yeah. Like being mad annoying.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah. Okay. Any predictions? It's been hard. I'm finding
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: it hard to make predictions.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: I'm finding it hard and we're locking in book of time.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: So it's, what's the next one?
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Sorry. I actually don't remember. I don't know what the
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: next one's called. but here's something I wanted to talk about.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Empire of Storm. And then the next one after that
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: is Tower of Dawn. And then Kingdom of Ash. Yeah. Okay, question.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Darcy's rolling around over there in the corner. Thoughts on... Okay,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: genuine thoughts on whether or not we need to finish
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: this series before ACOTAR comes out. Here's the thing, right?
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: You were saying at one point that you think as
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: soon as Akita comes out, we have to read it.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Here's one thing. You're in Bali when it comes out
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: and don't get home for like a couple of weeks.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Would we still be able to ride the wave of
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: not reading it until we finish this and trying to
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: maybe do like- When's it come out? The 18th? We
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: try and do like half a book per episode or something.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: It comes out on the 27th of October. Basically in
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: one month from the date of release.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: So we can finish Empire of Storms almost.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: We could make it so we definitely finish that.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: But then we still have two really big books. I'm
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: torn because I would have liked to say no prior
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: to finding out that it's basically a novella.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: Because it's also like I want to enjoy this and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want to push it as well. But then
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: also it's hard because half of my brain wants to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: think of this as a business decision which I would
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: say ride the rave wave of Akita and then the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: other half of me thinking of my heart says, let's
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: just enjoy this.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we'll, we will converse about this more. We'll
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: get comments from you guys.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: If it was a full book of Akita, I would
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: have said, fuck it. Let's drop this and go to that.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: But it's not huge. It's 350 pages. But the only
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: other thing we could do is like, we could just
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: like two episodes.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: We could just pause reading. So we'll finish reading. What's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: the next Empire of Storms? We'll finish Empire of Storms. Yeah.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Then read Akatar. Then read the last two books of this.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Which isn't bad. We can do what we want. We
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: can do whatever we want. Yeah. We feel so much pressure. Yeah.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Resounding consensus has been don't do the tandem read.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: That's what we're... We're not going to do the tandem read. Also,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: 350 pages. Do we do Akatar in one episode? Because
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: that episode will go by. Do you do Akatar in
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: one episode?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: Because I'm going to, I asked the baddies, get the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: audio book, but also I'm going to, I want to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: read it as well. Are you going to Kindle it? Yeah,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to get, I can't get it in
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: Bali otherwise. So I'm just going to get it on Kindle.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you got a Kindle? I'm just going to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: get it on, I've got an iPad, so I'm just
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: going to download the app and read it off that.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Get a Kindle, I don't think it's much. Oh, fair.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Business expense? I was just going to.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: I have like a fake iPad, not an actual iPad.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I was just going to do that. Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't mind reading off the screen,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Kindle's good. Well, 350 pages, I don't give a fuck.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: If it was a thousand, I would say that would
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: annoy me. Especially if you're going to listen to some. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: It would be so cool if they dropped at the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: same time dramatized audio for Gakuta. I know.
