Speaker 1: we'll wait till the end to see all right um
1:17
Speaker 1: feeling how you feeling How am I feeling? Let's try
1:21
Speaker 1: and use one word. Okay. One word. I feel... I
1:25
Speaker 1: don't know if this is the right word, but it
1:31
Speaker 1: came to me. Devious. Yeah, I would say devious is
1:35
Speaker 1: a good word. Like, I would... Aileen is a devious person. Yes. Yeah.
1:40
Speaker 1: She is... She thinks outside the box. Yeah, and I
1:44
Speaker 1: think she enjoys it. She enjoys being... It's almost like
1:47
Speaker 1: she does it on purpose so people go, well... Aileen,
1:49
Speaker 1: you're so cool. It's fine. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, it's
1:52
Speaker 1: like you get these POV, these inner monologue moments from
1:55
Speaker 1: other people of like, she's just so smart. I want
1:58
Speaker 1: to say Lysandra, fucking hack. Fucking hack. Yeah, having Lysandra.
2:06
Speaker 2: Used her too many times already and now her power
2:08
Speaker 2: has been released.
2:09
Speaker 1: Like, fuck off, A. Yeah, it's actually a good point.
2:13
Speaker 1: She is a huge hack to have. Anyway, let's go
2:17
Speaker 1: in with a... We left off where... I had read
2:23
Speaker 1: chapter 20 and Odi didn't, and I'm just going to
2:24
Speaker 1: quickly go off it again. So back, we'll do a recap.
2:29
Speaker 1: So chapter 20, this Rowan and Dorian, they arrive in
2:32
Speaker 1: Skull's Bay. Yes. After Rowan has gone and saved Dorian.
2:36
Speaker 1: And they're floating around, floating around, floating around. And they
2:41
Speaker 1: go into the tavern. You know, he's been waiting for you.
2:45
Speaker 1: They go up. And they go into Rolf's office. He says, well,
2:51
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for you. Classic turn of the swivel
2:54
Speaker 1: chair moment. What's up, brother? I've been waiting. I've been waiting.
2:58
Speaker 1: Chapter 21. So they get chitty-chatting with old Rolfy. It's
3:03
Speaker 1: obviously quite hostile in the beginning. They don't like each other.
3:06
Speaker 1: But Rolf says that Duke Parrington, he's still around, mate.
3:11
Speaker 1: I knew it. You're right. Duke Parrington has issued a decree.
3:15
Speaker 1: to the lords and the ladies of Ardalan, and I
3:18
Speaker 1: guess everyone else on the continent, that Dorian is a deserter.
3:24
Speaker 1: He's no longer king. Duke Parrington has declared himself the king. Bullshit.
3:29
Speaker 1: And he has made Holland, Dorian's younger brother, his heir.
3:33
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Duke Parrington, to be fair, I guess
3:37
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any children, but what are you doing
3:39
Speaker 1: just bringing Dorian's bloodline back into the thing if you're
3:42
Speaker 1: going to get rid of Dorian? Good point. You know,
3:44
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. But I guess Holland, he's like
3:47
Speaker 1: a pretty evil little fucker anyway. An evil human, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:50
Speaker 1: Easily influenceable. Probably has a valgan in him from birth.
3:51
Speaker 1: I was about to say, he probably has a collar
3:52
Speaker 1: on him. Legit, probably has a fucking valgan there from birth, bro. Anyway.
3:56
Speaker 1: From birth. Yeah, from both. Rolf explains that. I don't
4:03
Speaker 1: know if he explains it, but they find out anyway.
4:05
Speaker 1: So Rolf has lost the one big section of the archipelago,
4:10
Speaker 1: these islands. So he's got like Skull's Bay. It's like
4:12
Speaker 1: a group of, it's an archipelago. archipelago of islands right
4:15
Speaker 1: and he's lost a bunch of it to the valk
4:18
Speaker 1: so they have um been there i guess i think
4:20
Speaker 1: they've just been they've used it as a bit of
4:22
Speaker 1: a um place to stay and they have been breeding
4:26
Speaker 1: like you know the humans are no longer humans over
4:30
Speaker 1: there building big ships also been breeding sea wyverns cool
4:36
Speaker 1: pretty cool yeah pretty fucking cool i just picture the
4:39
Speaker 1: rum I picture the sea wyverns as like the big
4:42
Speaker 1: water dinosaur from Jurassic World. Pretty similar to be fair.
4:46
Speaker 1: A bit more scales in my mind. Oh, some scales. Yeah. Okay.
4:49
Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you. I'm just thinking like
4:51
Speaker 1: leathery skin. I used to love those.
4:54
Speaker 2: Like when they go back in 3 billion BC.
4:57
Speaker 1: This roam the ocean. I used to love them. It's
5:01
Speaker 1: also like, how do you know that? Yeah. How the
5:04
Speaker 1: fuck do you know that? You don't know. It could
5:06
Speaker 1: be true. I saw a thing recently where it's like, um,
5:10
Speaker 1: T-Rexes are depicted in animations and shows and documentaries to
5:17
Speaker 1: be lipless, teeth showing. But every single tooth they've ever found,
5:23
Speaker 1: nice and they look like ours in terms of condition. Protected.
5:28
Speaker 1: And then animals we know that have teeth always showing
5:31
Speaker 1: like crocodiles, they're always scarred. The teeth are chipped and scarred.
5:35
Speaker 1: So now they think T-Rexes had lips. Really? Yes, bro.
5:38
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? They're out here with duck lips. They're
5:41
Speaker 1: out here. Imagine that. T-Rex with fucking lips, bro. Who knows?
5:47
Speaker 1: It also like, I know like, sidetrack. I don't know.
5:50
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me that they're all gone.
5:53
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's weird. Anyway, the way I picture
5:55
Speaker 1: them actually is having the similar lips to dogs. How
5:57
Speaker 1: it's like jowly, like kind of jowl lips that hang over. Still,
6:01
Speaker 1: that would look fucking crazy if a dinosaur had lips. True.
6:04
Speaker 1: So funny. Anyway. We've also found out, so in the spring,
6:11
Speaker 1: Rolf lost a bunch of his crew to the Waug.
6:16
Speaker 1: Because the Waug, they took over the whole island, but Rolf,
6:19
Speaker 1: they fought to get it back. And he hates them. Well,
6:22
Speaker 1: you can see where this is going. They're going to
6:24
Speaker 1: align with Rolf and his pirates. Yes. And also, yeah,
6:29
Speaker 1: Rolf is, says... Rolf and Ralf. It's Rolf, eh? I
6:33
Speaker 1: say Rolf because it's Rolf. That sounds right. He... Rowan.
6:39
Speaker 1: He starts to explain to Rolf about Erewhon, all that stuff.
6:42
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff Rolf didn't know. And then two
6:46
Speaker 1: Fae males appear. Knock, knock, motherfucker. And Rowan throws a
6:50
Speaker 1: dagger at one of them. Chapter 22. It is Gavriel and...
6:57
Speaker 1: I'm saying... I say this. Fenris. Fenris. Fenry? Yeah. Silenes? Yeah.
7:03
Speaker 1: In the audio book? Okay. I think I can commit
7:04
Speaker 1: to Fenry. Yeah. So it's Gavriel and Fenry and it's
7:08
Speaker 1: part of his old cadre. Yeah. So he, that, and
7:12
Speaker 1: so last episode I spoke about how in chapter 20,
7:16
Speaker 1: him and Dorian feel this weird magic that doesn't, it's
7:19
Speaker 1: like not hostile. It doesn't feel like Valk magic, but
7:22
Speaker 1: they're all curious about it and they follow it and
7:24
Speaker 1: they followed it to, to Rolf's place. And he heard
7:26
Speaker 1: that's who, it's these two. And so Rowan was wigging out.
7:29
Speaker 1: He goes, well, Well, Dorian's like, who the fuck's this?
7:32
Speaker 1: And Rowan's like, I know.
7:34
Speaker 2: I know.
7:34
Speaker 1: He's like, oh my God. I know this motherfucker. He
7:36
Speaker 1: throws a knife at one of them. Fenry? Handsome. Apparently handsome.
7:41
Speaker 1: Is he dark skinned? They explain darker skin. Can't remember.
7:45
Speaker 1: I always kind of forget, but I'm giving, I picture Fenry,
7:49
Speaker 1: Michael B. George. You love to picture Michael B. George.
7:51
Speaker 1: That's what I pictured Dorian as until I found out
7:53
Speaker 1: he's white. Yeah. What's the... I'm picturing similar look to...
7:57
Speaker 1: What's the summer court in... Not the summer... Summer court
8:00
Speaker 1: in Akita? Yes. Oh, my God. What's his... Hellion. Hellion.
8:03
Speaker 1: That's it. Cool. Similar. Cool. Anyway. So, they're two of... So,
8:09
Speaker 1: the Cordray, we find out that... So, Fenri is the
8:15
Speaker 1: older brother, I believe, of... Another part of the core, Drake.
8:19
Speaker 1: Can't remember his name. I thought they were twins. Maybe
8:21
Speaker 1: they're twins. They're twins. Yeah, you're right. They're twins. And
8:24
Speaker 1: Maeve has always keeps Fenry's twin with her as like
8:30
Speaker 1: a thing. Because Fenry, he actually doesn't like Maeve. Was
8:32
Speaker 1: it a sex thing? That's how they implied it, but
8:34
Speaker 1: they didn't say it. Yeah. So it's all implied. Maeve's
8:37
Speaker 1: a suspect, bro. Like the only reason Maeve has never
8:39
Speaker 1: had sex with Rowan is because they have a close
8:41
Speaker 1: enough bloodline. Like he's barely a prince, but he's a prince, right?
8:44
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why she didn't want to cross
8:45
Speaker 1: that boundary. But with Fenry... She just, like, fucks him
8:49
Speaker 1: and uses him. And she also uses his twin brother
8:54
Speaker 1: as a, basically, bargaining chip or an insurance for Fenrir
8:59
Speaker 1: to never just, like, flee. Because he's a fucking beast
9:01
Speaker 1: and he would leave otherwise. Yeah, he'd fuck off. Yeah.
9:04
Speaker 1: And then Gavriel as well. We see Gavriel and they're chitty-chatting, right?
9:07
Speaker 1: Have you met Gavriel before, anyone? Yeah. Yeah. Aerophile. Yes.
9:11
Speaker 1: And so he's the line shifter that Gavriel is, Adion's father.
9:14
Speaker 1: And so, or Connell is Fenrir's brother. So, basically, they
9:21
Speaker 1: come in and they talk about how there's this Fae
9:23
Speaker 1: Armada and that the Fae Armada, they sail for, they're
9:28
Speaker 1: headed for Elwe. And, yeah, basically... Was it in these
9:35
Speaker 1: chapters too where....
9:39
Speaker 2: Rowan was trying to get information out of them both
9:41
Speaker 2: and then they're like brother they don't tell me shit
9:43
Speaker 2: Maeve doesn't tell me shit anymore yeah it's definitely it's
9:46
Speaker 2: in one of these chapters and we also find out
9:49
Speaker 2: that the reason Fenrir and Gavriel are on this island
9:53
Speaker 2: and there's also one more of the Cordray on the
9:54
Speaker 2: island but he's turned into a he turns he can
9:57
Speaker 2: shift into a bird can't remember his name but he
9:59
Speaker 2: can shift into a bird. And he is currently just
10:04
Speaker 2: like flying around looking for Lorcan because Maeve has said
10:08
Speaker 2: that they have to go and kill Lorcan because remember
10:10
Speaker 2: how he's gone wild, AWOL.
10:11
Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The thing with like a
10:13
Speaker 1: blood oath, right? Doesn't seem to mean shit in this book. No,
10:16
Speaker 1: the blood oaths do mean stuff. But Rowan's broken it.
10:19
Speaker 1: Lorcan's broken it. Rowan didn't break the blood oath. He didn't? No.
10:23
Speaker 1: Aelin forced Maeve to break it. And how did Lorcan
10:26
Speaker 1: get out? No, he didn't. How does that work? He
10:30
Speaker 1: thinks he's just hacking the system. No, so it says
10:32
Speaker 1: in here, when you're far enough away... So if Lorcan
10:36
Speaker 1: and Rowan and everyone in the Cordray is close enough
10:38
Speaker 1: to Maeve, the blood oath is so strong that she
10:41
Speaker 1: literally can just will them to do anything. Right? But
10:44
Speaker 1: when you're far away, it has... It has a power,
10:49
Speaker 1: but like she can't will them to come back. Well,
10:51
Speaker 1: that's how the magic is stretched. Rowan gets these two
10:54
Speaker 1: to team up with him. Basically, yeah. And so that's
10:57
Speaker 1: how Lorcan's also still blood oafed. Like Lorcan would have
11:00
Speaker 1: got to Ardalan before she even probably realized he was
11:04
Speaker 1: gone because he was in a rush. Maeve must think
11:06
Speaker 1: Lorcan's betrayed her. Oh yeah, 100%. Yes. So she would
11:09
Speaker 1: assume the blood oaf's broken then. But it's not. He's
11:12
Speaker 1: too far away for her to reach, right? She sent
11:14
Speaker 1: them to kill him. But if he was to come
11:16
Speaker 1: back near enough, she could force him to come back
11:18
Speaker 1: and kill him. Right. So he can't get anywhere close.
11:21
Speaker 1: So like basically his whole thing is I'm going to
11:23
Speaker 1: go get the word keys. To prove what I've been doing. Right.
11:26
Speaker 1: Not even to prove what he's been doing. Get the
11:28
Speaker 1: word keys. He wants to either destroy them or put
11:31
Speaker 1: them back in the word gate and completely close them
11:33
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to get, he doesn't want Maeve
11:35
Speaker 1: to become corrupt. But he's going to realize at one
11:38
Speaker 1: point that she is corrupt. She's already corrupt. Yeah. He
11:40
Speaker 1: just doesn't know that. Yeah. I think he knows that
11:42
Speaker 1: and he's just struggling to admit it. And I think
11:44
Speaker 1: that at some point it's going to think, It's all
11:45
Speaker 1: going to come out and like, let's be real. Maeve
11:48
Speaker 1: is obviously dying in this, in this series. Yeah, in
11:50
Speaker 1: this series, not this book. And like, think about it, right?
11:52
Speaker 1: Every single one of the guys, like, so what we,
11:55
Speaker 1: something we, it'll probably come up. Let's see. I think
11:59
Speaker 1: it might come up soon, but I'll explain some more
12:01
Speaker 1: stuff about the Blotto. So that's chapter 22. Chapter 23,
12:06
Speaker 1: Vaughn is the other part of the Cordray that was
12:08
Speaker 1: with them. And he's currently flying around looking for Lorcan. Rowan,
12:12
Speaker 1: He actually, they're like, do you know where Lorcan is?
12:14
Speaker 1: And he's like, you know what? I actually do, my boys.
12:17
Speaker 1: And so he basically agrees to give up his location
12:21
Speaker 1: because he says it is on our paths, like Rowan
12:24
Speaker 1: and Lorcan's paths will undoubtedly cross again, right? And so
12:28
Speaker 1: what he says is, you're not really going against Maeve
12:31
Speaker 1: by you guys, you know, come help me out, help
12:34
Speaker 1: me and Aelin out, my new queen. And my path
12:37
Speaker 1: is 100% going to cross with Lorcan's again, right? He's
12:40
Speaker 1: all yours if you help us. But if you don't,
12:43
Speaker 1: I will help Lorcan kill all of you. And I'm
12:45
Speaker 1: pretty sure Lorcan and Rowan, they could take on the
12:49
Speaker 1: other four Cordray. Because I believe there's six of them
12:52
Speaker 1: all together. They could take on the other four, no problem.
12:54
Speaker 2: Rowan mentions that those two fey warriors are better than
12:57
Speaker 2: like a thousand human warriors.
12:59
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes like, even just having these...
13:03
Speaker 1: He goes, it may not be an army, but even
13:04
Speaker 1: just having these two fey warriors with us is better
13:06
Speaker 1: than having like a thousand man army because they could
13:09
Speaker 1: just take out men like nothing else. So... I'm pretty
13:12
Speaker 1: fucking keen to obviously see them run into battle. They're
13:15
Speaker 1: going to start fucking shit up. But we've seen battles
13:17
Speaker 1: with people like that. Think about it. We've seen Rhys
13:20
Speaker 1: doing hectic shit where he turns into this big-ass fucking
13:23
Speaker 1: yucky-looking Dark Knight beast, right? When he's fighting the King
13:26
Speaker 1: of Highburn. And he just points. And like a thousand
13:29
Speaker 1: of the fucking Highburn Fae soldiers just turn into dust. Like,
13:32
Speaker 1: that's fucked. O.P.? overpowered and is fucked. To me, in
13:38
Speaker 1: this book though, the Fae have a more human-like approach.
13:42
Speaker 1: I agree. I think the Fae in Akatar are a
13:44
Speaker 1: bit more powerful than the Fae in this.
13:46
Speaker 2: Except for Dorian. His power is the only one I
13:48
Speaker 2: see as being a point and you're dead.
13:50
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think Dorian's the only one
13:52
Speaker 1: that's going to be able to compare with maybe Rhys. Yeah.
13:55
Speaker 1: They're giving more like Cassian vibes. I agree. Like warrior
13:58
Speaker 1: going through fight at a time. Like if Cassian could
14:00
Speaker 1: shift and had maybe like wind magic or light magic
14:04
Speaker 1: or something like that. Cause they have a little bit
14:05
Speaker 1: of magic. I think they could probably be Cassian with that. Yeah.
14:10
Speaker 1: But I think, um, I think you're right in terms
14:11
Speaker 1: of fighting skill. It's a bit more Cassian vibes. So he, he,
14:16
Speaker 1: he actually threatens to kill them if they, so he's
14:18
Speaker 1: talking about how Rowan's trying to convince them to fight
14:22
Speaker 1: for him and Alan. Right. And then he says like, Oh,
14:23
Speaker 1: actually Alan and your son, he's talking to Gabrielle and
14:26
Speaker 1: your son coming in right now. And Gabrielle's like, what?
14:30
Speaker 1: My son. And then Rowan goes, in a monologue, he's like,
14:33
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should have said that, but
14:34
Speaker 1: it was going to come out anyway. And he goes,
14:35
Speaker 1: my son. He goes, that's right, my bro, your son.
14:38
Speaker 1: And that's when he says, if you tell Maeve about
14:40
Speaker 1: your son, because Maeve will want to come get Rowan,
14:42
Speaker 1: AD on and see if he's any good. Yeah, he goes,
14:45
Speaker 1: I'll fucking kill you. I don't know. Rowan must just
14:48
Speaker 1: be a beast. Must be a fucking beast. I think
14:51
Speaker 1: he is, yeah. Chapter 24. Bit of a nothing chapter.
14:58
Speaker 1: It's just Aelin, He's just sailing on a boat with
15:01
Speaker 1: Adion and Lysandra. And Lysandra's just turning into a hawk
15:05
Speaker 1: and shit, looking around. It's nothing major. Oh, my God.
15:11
Speaker 1: Chapter 25. We've got a Manon chapter. And this is
15:13
Speaker 1: right after she's been gutted by her grandmother. Shit, yes.
15:16
Speaker 1: She wakes up in the Oakwold Forest, okay? And she
15:20
Speaker 1: wakes up. She's worse for fucking wear, bro. All right?
15:25
Speaker 1: Worse for wear. Gets out of Abraxas' saddle. she's like, fuck,
15:30
Speaker 1: she's in pain. She can't do it. I was thinking like, how,
15:32
Speaker 1: how have the coven, like her 13 not found her yet. Anyway,
15:35
Speaker 1: she can hear a stream. She's like, I need a drink. Boom, boom,
15:38
Speaker 1: pain too much passes out again, wakes up. She's like,
15:41
Speaker 1: what day is it? Is it the same day? Abraxas
15:43
Speaker 1: is like really wigging out. He's like trying to protect her.
15:45
Speaker 1: She like gets her way. She finally gets herself to
15:47
Speaker 1: the stream to get a drink. And then it's like
15:49
Speaker 1: being this beautiful being like naked woman or something just
15:52
Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere. And then, um, She's like, what
15:56
Speaker 1: the hell, who are you? And she doesn't know who
15:58
Speaker 1: it is, right? But then what ends up happening is like,
16:02
Speaker 1: she knows what she mentions here, right? She talks about
16:04
Speaker 1: how she said like, oh, it must have been an
16:07
Speaker 1: illusion because she said it like must have had a
16:09
Speaker 1: glamour on it because it switches in because it says,
16:13
Speaker 1: it's talking to her and it says that it's one
16:15
Speaker 1: of Erewhon's bloodhounds, right? Sent to come and get her.
16:19
Speaker 1: And so she goes, oh, fuck off, eh? It goes
16:21
Speaker 1: from a beautiful woman. She's like, whoa, it must have
16:23
Speaker 1: been an illusion. Turns into this thing. She mentions a glamour.
16:28
Speaker 1: You remember glamouring from Akita? Yeah, yeah. And I was like, dang,
16:30
Speaker 1: they got glamouring in this. You can hide how Feyre
16:33
Speaker 1: was hidden when... Must be the real same world, brother. Yeah, true. Well,
16:36
Speaker 1: it is, yeah. Must be the same world, but a
16:39
Speaker 1: different time. Or a different part of it, different continent. Anyway.
16:43
Speaker 1: Do you reckon there was something in... She said... Her
16:48
Speaker 1: grandma should have... She should be dead because the poison
16:52
Speaker 1: in the iron... No, she said if her grandma's claws were.
16:57
Speaker 1: But she's not dead. She's not dead. So she didn't have,
17:00
Speaker 1: I don't think that her grandma had poison on her nails.
17:03
Speaker 1: But if she did, she'd be dead. That's what I interpreted.
17:06
Speaker 1: But are you thinking maybe she had poison? And she's like,
17:08
Speaker 1: my grandma usually has poison on her things. I'm not dead.
17:11
Speaker 1: How am I not dead? No, I'm even thinking like
17:13
Speaker 1: her grandma purposely didn't put poison on her iron claws
17:18
Speaker 1: to not kill her. To be fair, you got it
17:23
Speaker 1: right with the king. You got it right with the king.
17:25
Speaker 1: Is there something in that? Because I was like, obviously
17:29
Speaker 1: she's not fucking dead. You got it right with the king,
17:31
Speaker 1: my man. Is there a vile demon in fucking grandma?
17:35
Speaker 1: Or maybe. Yeah.
17:37
Speaker 2: But there's that little bit inside her where she didn't
17:39
Speaker 2: put poison on her claws to kill man because she
17:40
Speaker 2: didn't want to kill man in the end.
17:42
Speaker 1: Even though everything she said... True, I don't know. She's
17:44
Speaker 1: pretty evil. Alluded to her being evil. She seems pretty
17:47
Speaker 1: fucking evil to me anyway. Um... What ends up happening is,
17:52
Speaker 1: and this thing, what this thing turns into is like
17:54
Speaker 1: this yucky looking thing and it's like fucking got wings
17:56
Speaker 1: and stuff.
17:57
Speaker 2: I was picturing at the start, like when they mentioned
17:59
Speaker 2: the glamour, you know that scene in Harry Potter when
18:03
Speaker 2: Harry and his uncle's getting the Death Eaters are coming
18:07
Speaker 2: down and then his dad comes as a demon, not
18:09
Speaker 2: a demon, a deer. That sort of started the glamour,
18:12
Speaker 2: the beautiful woman I was picturing.
18:14
Speaker 1: Cool visualization. What ends up happening is, is Manon runs.
18:22
Speaker 1: Abraxas is like ready. You're getting chased. This thing gets
18:26
Speaker 1: stuck in the tree somehow. Manon gets picked up by Abraxas' claws, right?
18:29
Speaker 1: Flaps away, flaps away, flaps away. This thing can fly.
18:31
Speaker 1: It gets a running jump. Boom, flaps away. Catch him,
18:34
Speaker 1: catch him, catch him. Abraxas turns around, stabs it with
18:37
Speaker 1: his poison barb tail. It goes barreling down. It yells out,
18:41
Speaker 1: I'm going to fucking get you. So she thinks that
18:43
Speaker 1: it probably isn't going to die from the poison barb.
18:45
Speaker 1: It's probably like really powerful. And anyway, that was what
18:47
Speaker 1: we got from that. Ah, this is a fucking sick
18:49
Speaker 1: chapter to prepare. So Aelin and all that, they're about
18:52
Speaker 1: two weeks behind Rowan and Dorian, right? And so what
18:55
Speaker 1: ends up happening is, keep in mind, Aelin's two weeks
19:00
Speaker 1: behind Rowan and Dorian, Aelin and that. After the meeting
19:04
Speaker 1: with like Rolf and Gavriel and stuff, Rowan basically is like,
19:09
Speaker 1: you know, kind of stay out of our way until
19:13
Speaker 1: I guess I contact you. I have no idea. They're
19:16
Speaker 1: staying at an inn. nice in meals provided. They like
19:20
Speaker 1: to add some details. Like, you know, he said to
19:22
Speaker 1: the bar and said to the, to the person running
19:24
Speaker 1: the desk, here's your money. I want two rooms. I
19:27
Speaker 1: want meals every day. I want fresh water every day.
19:31
Speaker 1: I want to be able to have anyone I want
19:32
Speaker 1: to come in here. I'm like, fuck it. Now this
19:34
Speaker 1: guy's all like, I want, want, want, want, want all
19:36
Speaker 1: inclusive baby. That's what I like. Anyway, one gold coin.
19:40
Speaker 1: And apparently they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Must be worth
19:43
Speaker 1: a lot of money. One gold coin. Um, and so,
19:46
Speaker 1: They've been there for two weeks. um rowan training he's
19:50
Speaker 1: training dorian right they're sending letters back and forth to
19:53
Speaker 1: different places they're getting information we found out that rift
19:56
Speaker 1: halt is under control of the witches excuse me um
20:02
Speaker 1: the ferry and and then there's a lot of ships
20:04
Speaker 1: from the ferry and gap and they now sail towards
20:07
Speaker 1: rift halt we've got um The Gulf of Oro, which
20:10
Speaker 1: has been mentioned, can't really picture where it is and stuff,
20:12
Speaker 1: but another part of Erowan's got a fleet and he's
20:16
Speaker 1: got a part of his fleet going to the Gulf
20:17
Speaker 1: of Oro. He's like surrounding everything. And then what they're
20:20
Speaker 1: waiting for is for Rolf to contact them because they
20:22
Speaker 1: want to have a meeting with Rolf and they don't
20:24
Speaker 1: want to be the ones to contact him. But Dorian
20:26
Speaker 1: has a good idea. He goes, I'm sick of waiting.
20:28
Speaker 1: He writes a letter, tells Dorian to deliver it. He does.
20:32
Speaker 1: And they act like they've got really important news to
20:34
Speaker 1: trick Rolf into getting them to come there for a meeting, right?
20:36
Speaker 1: Rolf gets them to come there for a meeting. He goes,
20:38
Speaker 1: follow me. He's going into their office, right? Opens the
20:40
Speaker 1: door into their office. Who's standing there? Aelin Galathineus. Funny,
20:45
Speaker 1: funny lady. I'll tell you. She's funny. Okay. Chapter 27.
20:50
Speaker 1: Rolf obviously remembers Selene Sardothien. All right. He doesn't know
20:55
Speaker 1: that she is Aelin Galathineus. Okay. So, Rowan and Dorian,
21:00
Speaker 1: they see what she's doing. Okay. Rolf's pissed. Well, they
21:04
Speaker 1: got bad blood. Yeah. Yeah. Because she sacked his whole town. Yeah.
21:07
Speaker 1: And then Rowan and Dorian are there. And his slave trade. Yeah,
21:11
Speaker 1: he's legit, bro. And then so she's talking to him like,
21:14
Speaker 1: I just thought I'd come check in, see if you're
21:16
Speaker 1: still trading in slaves. He says, no. She says, good,
21:19
Speaker 1: because I actually asked around and you're not. And checked
21:22
Speaker 1: your records here. You seem to be doing good. Clean sweep, baby.
21:25
Speaker 1: You're a clean slate because I was going to have
21:27
Speaker 1: to come here with knives. Anywho. She then... She then...
21:34
Speaker 1: um so by the way gavriel and fenry they're there
21:37
Speaker 1: with rowan and dorian and so they're wigging out too
21:40
Speaker 1: and then he says so rolf says to rowan fenry
21:44
Speaker 1: and gavriel i will help your queen i will help
21:47
Speaker 1: ailin galathineus you've got my ships you've got my men
21:50
Speaker 1: if you kill selena sardothian and then um selena introduces
21:56
Speaker 1: ailin she says well if you want to meet ailin
21:59
Speaker 1: you can And then in walks Aelin, but it's Lysandra
22:03
Speaker 1: shifted into Aelin. So it's a wig out, right? And
22:06
Speaker 1: then Lysandra shifts back and Aelin reveals who she really is.
22:10
Speaker 1: And Rolf is like, to be fair, mad confusing. Mad confusing,
22:15
Speaker 1: but also pretty cool. Yeah, I agree. All right. Pretty simple.
22:20
Speaker 1: They have a chitty chatty. She says like, obviously, you know,
22:22
Speaker 1: I'm the queen of Terrasin. I'm the heir of Terrasin, whatever.
22:26
Speaker 1: She says, I'll make you the king of, the pirate
22:29
Speaker 1: king of Skull's Bay if you fight for me he
22:32
Speaker 1: says nah fuck ya leave so she leaves in the
22:41
Speaker 1: hallway Gavriel where's my son where's my son where's my
22:46
Speaker 1: son Aelin don't know don't care brother it's his choice
22:50
Speaker 1: to meet you if he wants to meet ya he
22:51
Speaker 1: says take me to my son she says first of
22:53
Speaker 1: all don't fucking order me around I was like fuck
22:55
Speaker 1: me dad she's I was like, come on. She's got
22:59
Speaker 1: a power trip back. To be fair, she's a queen.
23:01
Speaker 1: I mean, I would too if I was a king.
23:04
Speaker 1: So they leave and then she gets some info from
23:09
Speaker 1: Roman and Dorian. She shares some info with them about
23:11
Speaker 1: like Ilium and like the lock and stuff that Brandon's
23:14
Speaker 1: told her to go to. Anyway, chapter 29. Aelin thinks
23:21
Speaker 1: that Rolf's map on his hands that he sold his
23:23
Speaker 1: soul for, right? On his hands, you can see treasure, enemies, ships,
23:28
Speaker 1: those certain type of things, right? And that's why he's
23:30
Speaker 1: such a good pirate. She thinks that's the only thing
23:33
Speaker 1: that can help her find the lock that Brandon's talking about.
23:37
Speaker 1: And so she sets up a trap because obviously they
23:40
Speaker 1: all get told to bugger off. So in an alleyway,
23:43
Speaker 1: we've got Lysandra acting as a prostitute and Adion acting
23:46
Speaker 1: as a guy that's paying for her time. Lysandra is
23:50
Speaker 1: wearing the amulet of Orenth, which is a word key. Yeah,
23:53
Speaker 1: word key. and so what they're trying to do is
23:59
Speaker 1: just like lure Rolf out because his thing can suss
24:02
Speaker 1: magic out they're having a chitty chatty after a while
24:04
Speaker 1: here they're here they're here they're Dorian like comes out
24:06
Speaker 1: and says something random like oh they wanted me to
24:08
Speaker 1: check on you Adion real massive dick to Dorian yeah
24:12
Speaker 1: Lysandra's like have some fucking compassion my man that man's
24:18
Speaker 1: been through a lot yeah and he's like I don't
24:20
Speaker 1: give a fuck he stabbed my queen he stabbed Aelin
24:22
Speaker 1: she's like fuck off eh Get off your high. I'm
24:25
Speaker 1: over it. You should be. I know. She's like, Aelin's
24:27
Speaker 1: never held anything against him. Yeah. He goes, whenever I
24:29
Speaker 1: look at Dorian, all I see is my fucking home
24:31
Speaker 1: being put up to flames. And I was actually like,
24:34
Speaker 1: his dad did do it. Anyway, she goes, yeah, well,
24:37
Speaker 1: Aelin doesn't hold it against him. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway,
24:39
Speaker 1: they have a bit of a flirtatious thing going on.
24:41
Speaker 1: He likes Lysandre for sure. Yeah. But then what happens
24:46
Speaker 1: is someone comes down the other way and it's the barmaid.
24:48
Speaker 1: It's Rolf's barmaid. And so they think, okay, interesting. And
24:52
Speaker 1: they have a chitty-chatty with her. Lysandra's kind of like, hey,
24:54
Speaker 1: if you want some time after this guy, I'll give
24:56
Speaker 1: it to you. She goes, no, all good, all good. Interesting.
24:59
Speaker 1: And it just confirms that Rolf obviously sent someone there
25:02
Speaker 1: to go have a look. Yeah, check on him. And
25:06
Speaker 1: he also doesn't want it because he knows that it's
25:08
Speaker 1: a Valga magic type of thing. Keep that in mind.
25:13
Speaker 1: And then they leave, right? And he says, Adion says
25:16
Speaker 1: to Lysandra, I think I want to meet my dad.
25:19
Speaker 1: They're talking about it. He says, will you come? She says,
25:22
Speaker 1: you want me to go with you? He goes, yeah,
25:23
Speaker 1: why don't you go with me? And she says, well, yeah,
25:26
Speaker 1: I'll come with you. Why not? Go meet your dad.
25:27
Speaker 1: Kind of interesting. They're getting a little bit closer, closer.
25:32
Speaker 1: Chapter 30. We've got an Elide and Lorcan chapter. About time.
25:37
Speaker 1: About fucking time, bro. Lorcan might be my favorite. I
25:40
Speaker 1: think he's pretty cool. I'm interested in Lorcan. I'm interested
25:44
Speaker 1: in him. I like his line. I think he says
25:45
Speaker 1: it now. What does he say? Is it? He's like,
25:48
Speaker 1: a body is just a body. Yeah. Yeah. And he's like,
25:51
Speaker 1: mad sexy. Is that what it was? A body is
25:53
Speaker 1: just a body?
25:54
Speaker 2: When they're like talking about sleeping together and she's like,
25:56
Speaker 2: what do I have to be naked? And he's like,
25:57
Speaker 2: just a body is just a body. That's so valid actually, yeah.
25:59
Speaker 2: I put a smooth.
26:03
Speaker 1: A. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Basically, okay. So they're traveling with
26:07
Speaker 1: these people. They're traveling, traveling, traveling. He hates the open planes.
26:11
Speaker 1: She's loving the open planes. They haven't had much to
26:13
Speaker 1: do with each other because they've both been busy traveling, right?
26:14
Speaker 1: They've either been sleeping, like it's all been raining, being wet,
26:17
Speaker 1: but now they've come to a point where... Each time
26:21
Speaker 1: they stop and go get firewood, they go together and
26:23
Speaker 1: everyone thinks that they're too, their husband and wife going
26:25
Speaker 1: off to steal a couple minutes of love time, right?
26:27
Speaker 1: But what they're doing is he's just like peppering her
26:29
Speaker 1: about questions about Morath. He's trying to get a full
26:31
Speaker 1: picture in his head about Morath and she's like telling him,
26:33
Speaker 1: telling him, telling him, right? And this is the deal.
26:35
Speaker 1: This is the deal. He gets her somewhere safely. He's
26:37
Speaker 1: actually stayed longer than he needed to because he still
26:39
Speaker 1: wants more information from her. But she is starting to
26:44
Speaker 1: struggle to talk about the dungeons and the things that
26:46
Speaker 1: were done there. So she's very vague about it. And
26:49
Speaker 1: he's like, you know more. Your scent just changed. You
26:51
Speaker 1: know more, you know more. She's all, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
26:54
Speaker 1: And each time she's refusing certain things, he goes back
26:59
Speaker 1: to just like how long he's lived, right? And the
27:02
Speaker 1: tactics he's had to use in his life to get
27:03
Speaker 1: certain people to talk. So what he's doing is he's
27:06
Speaker 1: really backing off and he's going to start making her
27:10
Speaker 1: feel as though he maybe cares more or that she's
27:14
Speaker 1: in control. And in that way, he will get more
27:17
Speaker 1: information out of her because then What happens is they
27:20
Speaker 1: find a place for the night where it's a nice
27:22
Speaker 1: dry piece of land and they haven't had, so they're
27:24
Speaker 1: all going to sleep in tents on beds. And the
27:26
Speaker 1: crew have set up Lorcan and the Leeds tent far away,
27:29
Speaker 1: knowing that they're probably going to want to have sex.
27:31
Speaker 1: And so they're all like, they're hating it. They have
27:33
Speaker 1: to sleep in the same tent together. But when they're
27:36
Speaker 1: in there, he says, like, let me do a nice
27:38
Speaker 1: thing for you. I'll go get such, I'll go pay
27:41
Speaker 1: such and such to wash your clothes because you're filthy.
27:45
Speaker 1: And she goes, what about you? You're filthy too. He goes,
27:46
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. And she's like, what, am I going
27:48
Speaker 1: to sleep naked? And he goes, a body's a body. Yeah.
27:50
Speaker 1: You know, I'm old. I've seen bodies. He's the first
27:54
Speaker 1: one to mention, like, I'm old as fuck and you're
27:55
Speaker 1: young or whatever, didn't he? Yeah. In his head, in
27:57
Speaker 1: his head. I don't know if he said it to her. No, no.
27:59
Speaker 1: He did say, he said, I'm old. Yeah. I'm really old.
28:02
Speaker 1: She's like, how old? Old. Old. And he doesn't say it,
28:05
Speaker 1: but she says, old. I think he's like 500. Yeah.
28:07
Speaker 1: Because Rowan said when he was born, Lorcan was already
28:09
Speaker 1: centuries old. And do you think, you know how he's
28:12
Speaker 1: kind of, putting on this facade to get information. I
28:15
Speaker 1: took that as he's actually falling in love with her.
28:17
Speaker 1: I took that as he's starting to feel it. Yeah.
28:19
Speaker 1: Because he starts to talk about how him and Rowan, right?
28:22
Speaker 1: Rowan was his most trusted weapon. Yeah. And they sacked
28:29
Speaker 1: cities together, just the two of them without the rest
28:31
Speaker 1: of the cadre. They would sack a city or, or
28:34
Speaker 1: defend a city or whatever. And then they would relish
28:36
Speaker 1: in the women and the, and the celebrations of days afterwards.
28:39
Speaker 1: And he used to love doing it, but now he's
28:40
Speaker 1: lost Rowan to Aiden. And he said, It's going to
28:43
Speaker 1: be centuries until he's not mad about that. He hates
28:45
Speaker 1: Aelin for it. But then you can tell he's kind
28:48
Speaker 1: of like... I think Lorcan and Elite are endgame. I
28:53
Speaker 1: think they're going to fall in love. Elite's going to
28:56
Speaker 1: play a massive part. She's got some type of power. Also,
29:00
Speaker 1: she's got this word key. We'll talk about predictions after.
29:02
Speaker 1: But I have a little prediction about her and the
29:04
Speaker 1: word key. Here's what I'm just going to say. It's
29:07
Speaker 1: going to be really, really annoying because I think... I
29:13
Speaker 1: think she's going to meet Aelin and not get the
29:17
Speaker 1: chance to say, I'm looking for Selene Sardothien. Right. And
29:21
Speaker 1: we're going to be like, that's so annoying. Because what
29:25
Speaker 1: she would be doing is then giving Aelin the fucking
29:28
Speaker 1: word key and she'd have two of the three. Well,
29:30
Speaker 1: I think, because Lorcan's looking for the word key too.
29:33
Speaker 1: I think Lorcan.
29:34
Speaker 2: Falls in love, finds out she has the word key,
29:37
Speaker 2: is too in love with her and chooses to side
29:39
Speaker 2: with Aelin.
29:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. That's valid. I like it. I like it.
29:42
Speaker 1: I like it. And tells her that Aelin's Selena. Yeah,
29:45
Speaker 1: I got something. Something happens in this chapter, right? So
29:49
Speaker 1: Lorcan dips out. He goes, all right, get undressed. Give
29:52
Speaker 1: me your clothes and I'll go take them to get washed.
29:55
Speaker 1: She dips out of her clothes. He also gets a
29:57
Speaker 1: bath run for her in a tent. He goes, he
29:59
Speaker 1: can heat them. I think he can just heat it
30:00
Speaker 1: up with his magic, I guess. She gets undressed and
30:05
Speaker 1: then he can hear so well. She's ruffling around, lifts
30:07
Speaker 1: the mattress, puts something on her, puts it back. He goes, oh,
30:09
Speaker 1: she hid something. Hit it from me. She doesn't want
30:11
Speaker 1: me to know what it is. So now he knows
30:13
Speaker 1: she's hiding something and it's the word key, of course.
30:16
Speaker 1: So now he knows she's hiding something and I think
30:18
Speaker 1: that he's probably going to find it. Yeah, and I
30:20
Speaker 1: think he does the right thing. So you're saying he
30:23
Speaker 1: finds it Because he's going to do the wrong thing,
30:25
Speaker 1: but then comes back. Yeah. He still hasn't told her
30:28
Speaker 1: that Selene is alien. No, no. Yeah. And he knows.
30:30
Speaker 1: And he knows. And he knows. Yeah. And I think
30:31
Speaker 1: he'll fall in love and be like, find it and
30:33
Speaker 1: be like, wait a minute. This means something. No, I
30:35
Speaker 1: think he's going to go full. I think he's going
30:39
Speaker 1: to go like sort of Dane Atos. Okay. Maybe even
30:44
Speaker 1: like similar to Kale, you know, loyal to his Queen Maeve.
30:47
Speaker 1: But then it takes him a while to figure out
30:49
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be. I just want someone to
30:50
Speaker 1: be like head over heels from the start. I suppose
30:51
Speaker 1: Rowan is, but head over heels from the start and
30:53
Speaker 1: do the right thing. And this evil guy who's like
30:55
Speaker 1: evil in quotes. You know what? Dorian's giving that with Manon. Manon, sorry. Manon.
30:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he already had his arc of being a
31:01
Speaker 2: dick and being toxic with Selina when she was Selina.
31:04
Speaker 1: So valid, bro. Well, oh, and then after her niceness. Yeah. No, sorry.
31:14
Speaker 1: After Lorcan's friendliness. He comes back and she's bathed, naked,
31:19
Speaker 1: but covered up. And he... I want some of the fun.
31:24
Speaker 1: I know. It's not a book about sex, anyway. She says, like...
31:30
Speaker 1: Starts talking about the dungeon's war. How she was in them.
31:33
Speaker 1: You know? She says who her uncle is. They're opening up.
31:36
Speaker 1: And he, like... Hears about her uncle and what he
31:39
Speaker 1: did to her and stuff. And then he's like... Do
31:42
Speaker 1: you want me to kill him? She goes... Would there
31:45
Speaker 1: be a charge? And he just goes... This one's on
31:48
Speaker 1: my house. This one's on my house. She's like, she
31:51
Speaker 1: kind of smiles and she's like, yeah. Oh, funny. So,
31:56
Speaker 1: but then she gives more information. Very cool. Very cool. Yeah.
32:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. He like wigged out because her uncle was
32:03
Speaker 1: going to breed her with a valve and he was like,
32:04
Speaker 1: your uncle? Crazy. Oh, interesting one here. Chapter 31. Fenri
32:15
Speaker 1: asks about Aelin's settling. And so the settling, or if
32:20
Speaker 1: she's shown any sign that she may be immortal or not,
32:24
Speaker 1: she hasn't yet, right? So her settling is what they
32:28
Speaker 1: go through as immortal beings, which either makes them immortal.
32:36
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there's something about it where it's like
32:38
Speaker 1: when you go through your settling, Fae, they quite commonly just,
32:44
Speaker 1: they go through their settling and then they're chilling, right?
32:47
Speaker 1: But if you're a demi-fae, so like Aedion or someone,
32:50
Speaker 1: you go through it. And so she could go through
32:52
Speaker 1: her settling and potentially lose her magic but become immortal.
32:55
Speaker 1: She could go through her settling and lose her magic
32:57
Speaker 1: and not be immortal. She just could be a human.
32:59
Speaker 1: She could go through the settling, become immortal, keep her magic.
33:02
Speaker 1: There's different things that could happen. And here's something else, right?
33:08
Speaker 1: So she asks about blood oaths and how she said like,
33:14
Speaker 1: She was intrigued about how Maeve can control the Cordray
33:17
Speaker 1: with such justification or whatever the right word is, right?
33:22
Speaker 1: With such conviction. And she said, mine's not like that
33:27
Speaker 1: with Rowan. I can ask him to do things, but
33:28
Speaker 1: he can still make decisions and deny me. The only
33:30
Speaker 1: time is when it's like, I really, really, really want to.
33:33
Speaker 1: And even then, all I can do is tug on
33:35
Speaker 1: our bond. I can't like force him. Control him, yeah.
33:38
Speaker 1: And they say, yeah, that's because yours was done out
33:41
Speaker 1: of love for each other. Your blood oath was done
33:43
Speaker 1: out of pure love for each other, right? And your
33:46
Speaker 1: intentions were pure. Maeve's blood oaths are done out of
33:50
Speaker 1: bad intentions. She wants to control. She doesn't love. She
33:53
Speaker 1: just wants control, control, control. And so that's why Gavriel
33:58
Speaker 1: and all that and Lorcan and stuff, when they're close enough,
34:00
Speaker 1: she can just control them. You see what's going to
34:02
Speaker 1: happen there too because obviously love always prevails in these
34:05
Speaker 1: happy ending books. Love prevails, my man. Love prevails. Something
34:09
Speaker 1: will happen with Maeve and all the blood oaths will break. Yeah.
34:12
Speaker 1: And Lorcan will change sides. Well, she'll fucking die. Yeah.
34:15
Speaker 1: And then all of them will change sides. I reckon
34:16
Speaker 1: something will happen before she dies. I agree. With the hate. Well,
34:19
Speaker 1: Fenrir already doesn't like her. He actually kind of... He
34:24
Speaker 1: says like... Aelin will save Fenrir's brother. Yes, my bro.
34:29
Speaker 1: She'll even say, you don't need a blood oath to me.
34:31
Speaker 1: I don't want you to give me a blood oath.
34:32
Speaker 1: And they'll go, yeah, we're going to serve you anyway. Yes.
34:36
Speaker 1: But he does joke around. He says to Aelin like,
34:39
Speaker 1: you're giving out these blood oaths because... Not going to lie.
34:42
Speaker 1: He jokes around a bit. Here he goes. Was Fenrir...
34:48
Speaker 1: Fenrir was uglier, but a better warrior or a better warrior? No,
34:53
Speaker 1: he's better at everything. And Conall was jealous. And Conall
34:56
Speaker 1: became blood sworn to Maeve before Fenrir. Yeah. And to
35:00
Speaker 1: try and just protect Conall, Fenrir also became sworn, blood
35:06
Speaker 1: oath sworn, right? And here, if they try and break
35:09
Speaker 1: the blood oath, they die. Yeah. Magic kills them. Yeah.
35:12
Speaker 1: So keep in mind. So that means Lorcan's not broken it.
35:14
Speaker 1: He's just like gone AWOL. Oh, chapter 32. Oh, it's
35:18
Speaker 1: actually kind of rough, bro. Adion goes to meet Gavriel. Yeah.
35:24
Speaker 1: Him and Fenrir's there too, by the way. Gavriel? I
35:29
Speaker 1: see points. So Adion goes in, basically he's going in
35:31
Speaker 1: with a good intention, but then Adion sees Gavriel. He's like,
35:33
Speaker 1: obviously he's my dad, but then he's also like, thinks
35:35
Speaker 1: about his mom. And he's like, fuck this guy, bro. Mm.
35:40
Speaker 1: fuck this guy. Never came around. To be fair, didn't
35:44
Speaker 1: know he had a kid, but anyway, never came around.
35:47
Speaker 1: Adion's mom died of an illness that could have been
35:49
Speaker 1: cured by the Fae healers in Dorinel, but she didn't
35:54
Speaker 1: want to go there because she didn't want Maeve to
35:55
Speaker 1: find out about Adion. All right. And so he's like,
35:58
Speaker 1: just feeling all this bitterness towards it. And he's taking
36:01
Speaker 1: it all out on Gavriel. And so he's just basically like,
36:04
Speaker 1: fuck off to Gavriel. Gavriel's like, Adion, please. To be fair,
36:07
Speaker 1: he didn't know. I know. He didn't know anything. Please,
36:09
Speaker 1: but let's be real here. Like, what are you doing
36:11
Speaker 1: going around and just impregnate, like, just, like, coming inside
36:14
Speaker 1: of humans and, like, willy-nilly? Like, come on. It was
36:17
Speaker 1: the olden days, mate. That's what they did. I'm intrigued
36:22
Speaker 1: to see if Adion, so Lorcan, he's half fae, half human. Yeah. Right?
36:28
Speaker 1: He's magical and immortal. I'm intrigued to see if Adion...
36:33
Speaker 1: goes through a settling and gets magic and becomes immortal.
36:37
Speaker 2: Well, I've always seen how they've written Adion as like,
36:40
Speaker 2: they purposely like not giving him.
36:43
Speaker 1: Much of an arc. He's got barely any arc.
36:45
Speaker 2: He's very basic and he's almost like no one cares
36:48
Speaker 2: about him. As soon as they saved him, it was
36:50
Speaker 2: just fucking Rowan and Aelin. And I think Adion's hectic.
36:53
Speaker 2: You know what annoys me?
36:54
Speaker 1: He's going to get something like that. You know what
36:55
Speaker 1: annoys me though? Yeah. Is that like, I'm not going
36:58
Speaker 1: to lie. To me, it seems like Aelin's just like,
37:02
Speaker 1: Edeon's kind of just like my annoying cousin and doesn't
37:04
Speaker 1: like him. I think there's a purpose behind that. Right.
37:06
Speaker 2: Like something like that happens where he gets his powers
37:09
Speaker 2: or something and then there's going to be a whole
37:10
Speaker 2: fucking arc.
37:11
Speaker 1: And do you think she knows something he doesn't? And
37:13
Speaker 1: because this is a certain perspective, Luke was telling me
37:16
Speaker 1: about different perspectives of writing. So this is... Fuck, I
37:21
Speaker 1: don't actually know. This is... So we're reading this in
37:24
Speaker 1: the third person, right? But the narrator is not all-knowing.
37:29
Speaker 1: The narrator is... basically narrating and we figure out stuff
37:35
Speaker 1: as we go but it's in the third person you
37:37
Speaker 1: can get like first person you can get A Court
37:40
Speaker 1: of Thorns and Roses was first person A Court of
37:42
Speaker 1: Thorns and Roses was first person but Changers A Court
37:44
Speaker 1: of Silver Flames third person present tense or some shit
37:48
Speaker 1: like he I genuinely thought it was just third person
37:51
Speaker 1: or first person yeah and then and then also I
37:54
Speaker 1: remember doing creative writing in school and shit and like
37:56
Speaker 1: they have all these techniques and stuff it's just whatever
37:58
Speaker 1: the author wants 100% I agree Anyway, so I believe
38:01
Speaker 1: this is a third person present tense style of writing. Yeah.
38:05
Speaker 1: Because we're figuring things out. But like, because the narrator
38:08
Speaker 1: doesn't know what is going through Aelin's mind at all
38:11
Speaker 1: times because she'll do something and then chapters later we
38:13
Speaker 1: find out she's been planning it for ages. Anyway, I
38:16
Speaker 1: think potentially she knows something about Aedion that we don't
38:19
Speaker 1: know yet. The only other thing I could think is.
38:21
Speaker 2: Aedion's dad teaches him how to figure out he has
38:27
Speaker 2: magic or something like that.
38:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Prediction. We fall in love with Gavriel. He dies.
38:34
Speaker 1: I could see. Protecting Adion. I could see. Yeah, I
38:36
Speaker 1: could see that. Yeah. Didn't think I could see that though. Um,
38:39
Speaker 1: but anyway, um, yeah, just fucking hates his dad. Adion
38:44
Speaker 1: just goes full angry at his dad and then he just,
38:47
Speaker 1: just leaves. Buggers off, yeah. Just buggers off. Walks like
38:50
Speaker 1: miles into the mountains. Lysandra follows him and, um, he's
38:52
Speaker 1: just like angry. Just like chilling there. Just climbs a
38:54
Speaker 1: mountain or some shit. Goes for a hike anyway. Um,
38:59
Speaker 1: And then Aelin, we get a little bit of Aelin POV.
39:01
Speaker 1: She walks in. She just like kind of decides she's
39:04
Speaker 1: just going to go see Rolf. I don't really think
39:06
Speaker 1: of why, but she walks in and Fenrir and Gavriel
39:08
Speaker 1: are there and they've got this big map out. Lots
39:10
Speaker 1: of stuff on the map. And she goes, what's this?
39:11
Speaker 1: She's coming to like do something, demand something of Rolf.
39:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. But she's like, what's this? What's this?
39:16
Speaker 1: And then see, it is the Ferry and Gap. So
39:20
Speaker 1: it's Fenrir says that Morath's armies, which is Erewhon's armies,
39:26
Speaker 1: They basically have armies. Ferry and Gap, Gulf of Orel, Melisande.
39:30
Speaker 1: or Melisande how do you say it? Fanhero, Elway and
39:34
Speaker 1: then they're surrounding these places so they're making it impossible
39:38
Speaker 1: for all those places to get aid and also all
39:41
Speaker 1: those places to aid the north and so they're going
39:46
Speaker 1: to try and take Elway and then Selenor this is
39:52
Speaker 1: chapter 33, by the way, Selene realizes that Erewhon is
39:56
Speaker 1: planning to massacre the people of Erewhon as a message
39:59
Speaker 1: to her for Ilium. She talks about Ilium, this, and
40:03
Speaker 1: he talks about Ilium when he was taking over that body,
40:05
Speaker 1: how he knows who she used to be and knows
40:07
Speaker 1: everything about her, knows that you loved Nehemia, those type
40:11
Speaker 1: of things, right? And so she like killed that body
40:14
Speaker 1: and Erewhon's going to be like, oh, you know what?
40:16
Speaker 1: I'm going to go fucking go out here and just
40:17
Speaker 1: let you know that I could just take Ileway if
40:19
Speaker 1: I wanted to take Ileway. So it's a message, all right? Message.
40:25
Speaker 1: And then, right? So this is actually a pretty beast chapter, okay?
40:30
Speaker 1: So a pretty beast chapter. Aelin says, says, you will
40:35
Speaker 1: give me your armada armed with the fire lances. We
40:40
Speaker 1: skipped over the fire lances. It's like these things that
40:42
Speaker 1: he has ordered from a different continent. And basically it's
40:46
Speaker 1: a weapon that's built like a bomb kind of thing.
40:48
Speaker 1: And it is said that She said that apparently humans
40:52
Speaker 1: armed with these fire lances would be like the equivalent
40:55
Speaker 1: of her walking around with her fire magic. Keep that
40:59
Speaker 1: in mind. So she says to Rolf, you're going to
41:04
Speaker 1: give me your armada and arm it with the fire
41:07
Speaker 1: lances and any ship, and then you're going to add
41:10
Speaker 1: it to the Mycenaean fleet, right? Didn't see this coming,
41:14
Speaker 1: by the way. I didn't see this coming, by the way.
41:16
Speaker 1: And he goes, the Mycenaean fleet is a myth. She goes, Nabra,
41:22
Speaker 1: I know that you're the heir of the Mycenaean people
41:26
Speaker 1: and that she believes that they're hiding around this island.
41:30
Speaker 1: And he's like, he kind of gives it away with
41:33
Speaker 1: a reaction or whatever. And so she goes, I want
41:36
Speaker 1: you to know that I liberated Ilium, which was the Mycenaeans'
41:38
Speaker 1: ancient home, and that they can go claim it for
41:42
Speaker 1: their people, right? And now you guys need to... There
41:45
Speaker 1: was like this legend where if you liberate... Ilium, the
41:49
Speaker 1: Mycenaeans will fight for you to repay. And they also,
41:53
Speaker 1: for repayment, anyway, for repayment of, like, fucking not fighting
41:57
Speaker 1: in the past. He still refuses, right? But he also
42:02
Speaker 1: does kind of admit that they're, like, not around. But
42:04
Speaker 1: he also sort of admits, like, she goes, everything's sea
42:07
Speaker 1: dragon with you. Is it a fetish or not? You're
42:09
Speaker 1: obviously Mycenaean, brother. Right. Aelin... He says no, still. Aelin
42:16
Speaker 1: kind of sends a blast of her magic, not in
42:19
Speaker 1: like fire form, but just like releases a bunch of magic.
42:21
Speaker 1: He's like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
42:23
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And then what she's done, the
42:26
Speaker 1: reason she did that was she's trying to make him,
42:29
Speaker 1: trying to force his hand. Her magic, right, is so
42:33
Speaker 1: specific that all the Valg that are taking over one
42:36
Speaker 1: part of the island, they sense magic and they know
42:40
Speaker 1: that Aelin is here. So eight warships with over like
42:44
Speaker 1: a hundred Valg fucking and people or whatever and Valg
42:49
Speaker 1: soldiers and then also two Wyverns are on their way
42:52
Speaker 1: here now. Someone comes in and gives the message to them.
42:55
Speaker 1: And so he's kind of like, you fucking bitch, like
42:58
Speaker 1: you did that, you did that, blah, blah, blah. And
43:00
Speaker 1: so then what happens is she's like, all right, cool. Well,
43:04
Speaker 1: now we've got to go guys. Rolf's like, what? You're leaving?
43:07
Speaker 1: She goes, well, you're not going to help us. we're
43:10
Speaker 1: going to have to go get help from someone else.
43:11
Speaker 1: And now that the Valga are on their way, my
43:13
Speaker 1: cause is like under duress. Why would I be here?
43:16
Speaker 1: Why would I, why would I be here? Yeah. And
43:18
Speaker 1: then he's like, basically he's like, you bitch, you fucking bitch, bitch, bitch. Um,
43:24
Speaker 1: and then little do we know, all planned. Yeah. Oh,
43:28
Speaker 1: she's so conniving. Been planned for weeks. Right. And so
43:32
Speaker 1: then he goes, fine, I'll help you. I'll give you
43:34
Speaker 1: my ships. I'll, I'll try and get the Mycenaean people.
43:36
Speaker 1: I want to let you know they're scattered, but, I'll
43:40
Speaker 1: try and get them all together and we'll try and
43:41
Speaker 1: get them to fight for you. If you kill the Valk.
43:44
Speaker 1: She goes, cool, consider it done. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Now,
43:49
Speaker 1: we've got Fenrir, Gavriel, Adion, fucking Dorian, Lysandra, Rowan, Aelin,
43:55
Speaker 1: all going to go help fight. Coolio, coolio. Basically, the
44:02
Speaker 1: plan is that they all go into Rolf's ship She
44:09
Speaker 1: sends 80 into one watchtower where there's the big chain breaker,
44:12
Speaker 1: if everyone remembers that from Assassin's Blade. She sends Dorian
44:14
Speaker 1: to the other watchtower. And she's got with herself, Rowan, Fenrir, Lysandra, Gavriel,
44:21
Speaker 1: and Rolf. Rolf gets in a bunch of men, jumps
44:23
Speaker 1: on a ship. They're going out to meet the Valk, right?
44:26
Speaker 1: One ship against fucking eight with a hundred people on
44:28
Speaker 1: each one. They're going out there. Her plan is to...
44:32
Speaker 1: She's been spiraling down into her magic for like fucking weeks, right?
44:36
Speaker 1: She realizes... I thought I was going to hit the bottom,
44:39
Speaker 1: but she hasn't hit the bottom. She just hasn't hit
44:41
Speaker 1: the bottom, right? We just keep realizing through time that
44:43
Speaker 1: she is powerful, powerful, powerful. And then the plan is
44:49
Speaker 1: chain herself to the mast of the ship with iron.
44:51
Speaker 1: So she has an anchor. Use her Karanan, which is Rowan.
44:57
Speaker 1: Take his power. Well, it goes down into her power
45:00
Speaker 1: and then blast all the ships. Yeah, shit. Also at
45:04
Speaker 1: the same time, Lysandra has been working... on the anatomy
45:11
Speaker 1: of the sea dragons, right? And at the same time,
45:15
Speaker 1: it's said, the legend is, when Ilium is liberated and
45:21
Speaker 1: the sea dragons return, so will the Mycenaeans, right? She
45:25
Speaker 1: shifts into a fucking sea dragon, okay? And here's what
45:29
Speaker 1: we figure out, is when they went to Ilium and
45:32
Speaker 1: Aelin burned the Temple of Brannan, What she was burning
45:36
Speaker 1: away was all this yucky, yucky stuff. And she was
45:38
Speaker 1: revealing all the old ancient artwork in there. And it
45:41
Speaker 1: was very detailed drawings of fucking sea dragons. So all
45:44
Speaker 1: Lysandra needs is a detailed drawing and someone to explain
45:47
Speaker 1: something for her to shift into it. The magic does
45:49
Speaker 1: the rest. She's been just working on this, working on this. Cool.
45:53
Speaker 1: So cool. So cool, bro. Working on it, working on it,
45:56
Speaker 1: working on it. She turns into a sea dragon. She's off.
45:58
Speaker 1: But it makes a lot of sense too. And then
46:00
Speaker 1: what happens is Rolf is like, what? All his men.
46:05
Speaker 1: Sea dragon, sea dragon, sea dragon. The word's going to spread.
46:07
Speaker 1: Did they see Lysandra fall into the sea? I believe
46:11
Speaker 1: they make it out that only a couple of them did, right?
46:13
Speaker 1: I think Rolf was one of them and he knows
46:15
Speaker 1: what's going on. Yeah, he'll take it. But I think
46:18
Speaker 1: his people will be like, no, we saw a sea dragon.
46:20
Speaker 1: And he can't convince them otherwise because he's going to
46:22
Speaker 1: break their poor little hearts. So basically, chapter 34 now.
46:29
Speaker 1: I kind of went a little overboard there, but whatever.
46:31
Speaker 1: Chapter 34. So Aelin sees this fight, right? as not
46:35
Speaker 1: just a way to get Rolf to fight for her,
46:40
Speaker 1: but she wants to send a message, right? She's going
46:43
Speaker 1: to really let her power go. She's going to really
46:46
Speaker 1: rely on Rowan to bring a relay back in. And
46:49
Speaker 1: what she wants to do is she wants to show that, like,
46:51
Speaker 1: she's not just some fucking princess heir of Terrasin around
46:54
Speaker 1: here with little candlelight power, right? She can destroy eight
46:58
Speaker 1: Valg ships if she wants to. She wants to send
47:01
Speaker 1: a message, bro. Right. Right. So, um, let's go with,
47:12
Speaker 1: and then again, so what she's trying to do is
47:13
Speaker 1: send a message and what it's going to do is
47:15
Speaker 1: send a message out to like Ilwe, Melisand, blah, blah, blah, blah.
47:18
Speaker 1: That like, if they join with Aelin, there's the chance
47:21
Speaker 1: to defeat the value. There's a chance, right? Even other continents,
47:23
Speaker 1: there's a chance, there's a chance. Okay. Chapter 35, they
47:27
Speaker 1: get out to where they want to go. Okay. They're
47:29
Speaker 1: out near a reef and And Aelin changed herself, attached
47:34
Speaker 1: herself to fucking Rowan. She talks about how his magic
47:37
Speaker 1: is just like so ancient and stable and so deep.
47:42
Speaker 1: And there's so much of it. Like Rowan also apparently
47:44
Speaker 1: is like powerful, powerful. So then- He'd play from Rowan
47:48
Speaker 1: and lose all his powers. Basically all he's doing is
47:51
Speaker 1: just like giving it to her, but then he gives
47:52
Speaker 1: it back. He gets it back with rest, of course, right?
47:54
Speaker 1: But so she talks about how his is so ancient
47:57
Speaker 1: and stable and hers is so like, And he explains
48:00
Speaker 1: that hers is so young and wild. Fucking wild, bro.
48:03
Speaker 1: She just wants to unleash this shit. So she starts
48:07
Speaker 1: to go down, down, down, down, down, down, down. And
48:10
Speaker 1: then his magic, she actually, she hits the floor of
48:16
Speaker 1: her magic, right? She thinks she finally has hit the
48:18
Speaker 1: floor of her magic. She goes, fuck, I know. But
48:20
Speaker 1: the floor is like this ashy, like the bottom of
48:23
Speaker 1: the sea, like it's ashy and murky, right? And she
48:27
Speaker 1: says that she feels something calling into her to break
48:29
Speaker 1: through the ash and keep going. And then Rowan's magic becomes.
48:33
Speaker 1: And now something she's forgotten is, she's got the chain
48:36
Speaker 1: wrapped around her hand. Something she's forgotten is, right? Also
48:39
Speaker 1: keep in mind, she says to Rolf, let me know
48:41
Speaker 1: when you can see the whites of the soldier's eyes.
48:44
Speaker 1: And that's when you can tell me to go and
48:45
Speaker 1: I'll unleash myself. She keeps going. Rowan's magic makes it
48:48
Speaker 1: so she goes deeper than the ash. She goes into
48:50
Speaker 1: the ash and she's still burrowing deeper into her magic. Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper.
48:54
Speaker 1: And what we don't realize and Rowan does realize at
48:56
Speaker 1: the last second is that she's wearing the word key. Okay.
49:00
Speaker 1: And so what fucking happens is her power, the word
49:04
Speaker 1: key like enhances her power. The chains melt. Okay. And
49:10
Speaker 1: what happens is like a different being is looking through
49:14
Speaker 1: her eyes. And then Gavriel and Fenrir, they're like, oh
49:22
Speaker 1: my God, Lord heavens. Like they bow because who they're
49:26
Speaker 1: looking at is Deanna, who I believe is a God.
49:31
Speaker 1: I was confused. I was confused with the Deanna thing
49:33
Speaker 1: because I feel like I remember the name Deanna being mentioned.
49:36
Speaker 1: Comment below. please comment below about Deanna because I was
49:39
Speaker 1: wigging out a bit. She was something ancient. I remember that. Yeah,
49:41
Speaker 1: I was wigging out a bit. And Deanna is neither
49:45
Speaker 1: good nor bad, right? Because Deanna takes control of Aelin's body.
49:50
Speaker 1: She gets into Aelin's body through the word key as
49:54
Speaker 1: a gate or something. And what happens is flames up
50:00
Speaker 1: in the sky, like white flames, right? And then Aelin...
50:06
Speaker 1: Rowan's like, no, Aelin, no. Deanna has a bit of
50:11
Speaker 1: a monologue here of like, tell your queen this, this,
50:15
Speaker 1: and this. Can't really remember what it is, right? But
50:18
Speaker 1: then what happens is Aelin has a moment where she's
50:21
Speaker 1: stuck in her own body and she was put in
50:23
Speaker 1: a cage by Deanna. She's like, man, fuck this bitch.
50:26
Speaker 1: Now I got to add another fucking debt to my thing.
50:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to kill Deanna while I'm at it or something.
50:32
Speaker 1: She was like, Jesus. But she notices... Deanna's taking control
50:37
Speaker 1: of her body and she's decided, instead of going for
50:40
Speaker 1: just like the puny Vlauk soldiers, she wants to destroy
50:43
Speaker 1: this whole island. She's like, I can't have that. Forces
50:47
Speaker 1: her way out of this box she's put her in
50:48
Speaker 1: in her own mind. Kicks Deanna back into the fucking
50:53
Speaker 1: realm she came from. But Deanna was poised to strike.
50:56
Speaker 1: Aelin just takes control of her body. It's pointed at Rowan.
51:00
Speaker 1: She just shifts. Basically incinerates Rolf's boat but then also
51:05
Speaker 1: goes and incinerates like four of the fucking valve ships
51:08
Speaker 1: so there's still a few right actually yeah rolf's like
51:12
Speaker 1: drawn the short straw being forced into this yeah anyway
51:16
Speaker 1: yeah loses his ship yeah so that happened and next
51:22
Speaker 1: thing she knows um so also dorian calls it like
51:28
Speaker 1: he says you know we were calling her like the
51:30
Speaker 1: wildfire but it's actually called moonfire Yes, yes it was.
51:35
Speaker 1: Which is something, means something. Yeah, something about moon, fire. Yeah.
51:41
Speaker 1: Diana tells Rowan to tell Aelin to retrieve the lock.
51:44
Speaker 1: No number of allies will matter unless she has the
51:46
Speaker 1: lock and puts the key in it. She tells him,
51:49
Speaker 1: flame and iron together bound, merge into silver to learn
51:53
Speaker 1: what must be found. A mere strip is all it
51:55
Speaker 1: shall take. So we've got a fucking riddle, of course.
51:58
Speaker 1: They love riddles in this shit, brah. Um... And then
52:04
Speaker 1: what happens is we get, so we've destroyed some, all
52:08
Speaker 1: but three of Morath's ships. And also we've destroyed Rolf's boat.
52:12
Speaker 1: Now we've got a Lysandra POV while she's the sea dragon.
52:18
Speaker 1: She realizes something's gone terribly. She saves Rolf because Rolf
52:22
Speaker 1: was just in the water, struggling. She saves Rolf and
52:26
Speaker 1: one of his crew members to get some to safety.
52:29
Speaker 1: She goes, she sinks Rolf one of the enemy ships,
52:32
Speaker 1: but then she starts getting chased by the wyverns and
52:36
Speaker 1: then she kills one of the wyverns and basically uses
52:40
Speaker 1: another one with its speed to sink another ship. All right.
52:44
Speaker 1: And so there's one ship left and that's chapter 36.
52:46
Speaker 1: That's where we ended. That's where we've ended. Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger.
52:50
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? I feel good. Pretty cool. Pretty
52:55
Speaker 1: cool that there's a cool battle like this. Yeah. Something that...
53:02
Speaker 1: I don't think I had any more predictions I was
53:05
Speaker 1: talking about where I wanted to mention at the end.
53:06
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like it. It's fucking hectic. You know
53:09
Speaker 1: that riddle of the key to the lock? Yeah. I
53:14
Speaker 1: think it leads the key somehow. You think so? Yeah. Cool, right?
53:20
Speaker 2: I think she's the key to open something or do
53:24
Speaker 2: something with Solana and Aileen.
53:26
Speaker 1: I like it. But I'm intrigued. I want some more
53:29
Speaker 1: info on Diana. Definitely didn't understand that completely. I can't
53:32
Speaker 1: remember what... Well, I think this is an amazing book.
53:35
Speaker 1: I'm struggling because I'm definitely a novice reader, like novice listener.
53:39
Speaker 1: All the storylines are slightly hard to keep track of
53:45
Speaker 1: because there's so much fucking detail. Like one of the
53:47
Speaker 1: baddies said to you, the reread, I can understand why. Yeah.
53:50
Speaker 1: Because you miss stuff. I'm keen to do a reread
53:52
Speaker 1: of this. And you attach to some things and you
53:54
Speaker 1: don't attach to others just as you read or listen.
53:57
Speaker 1: But fuck, it's good, eh? Yeah. So fucking good. I
54:00
Speaker 1: will definitely do a reread of this series. I do
54:03
Speaker 1: agree with the baddies in like a sense of... I
54:06
Speaker 1: think it's better written. It's a more skillful write than... Interesting,
54:10
Speaker 1: isn't it? Yeah. And by this point in the series,
54:12
Speaker 1: she's written so much. Yeah, I would say Akatar was
54:14
Speaker 1: more fun. I had more fun. I'm having more fun
54:17
Speaker 1: in this. It's a different kind of fun. It's like
54:20
Speaker 1: Akatar's like going out with your girlfriend and getting drunk.
54:24
Speaker 1: This is like.
54:25
Speaker 3: Akitar's the honeymoon phase yeah yes yes Akitar's the honeymoon
54:29
Speaker 3: phase yeah and this is like five years down the
54:32
Speaker 3: track still fucking amazing but it's like a different kind
54:34
Speaker 3: of love yeah for it yeah that's a.
54:36
Speaker 1: Good description I agree fuck any predictions I knew that
54:40
Speaker 1: Locke one and I think Lorcan breaks the blood or
54:43
Speaker 1: Maeve blood over.
54:45
Speaker 2: Everyone breaks and they realize for some reason of course
54:48
Speaker 2: with Aelin and that guy the brother but other than
54:51
Speaker 2: that how can we get did all the predictions.
54:53
Speaker 1: I agree I think your big one of Gavriel is
54:57
Speaker 1: going to die. I agree with that. I think we're
54:59
Speaker 1: going to fall in love with Gavriel. Yeah. And I
55:01
Speaker 1: think he's going to sacrifice himself. I think he's a
55:02
Speaker 1: great bloke. Yeah, I think he's going to sacrifice himself
55:05
Speaker 1: for Adion. I'm a little worried like people talk about
55:08
Speaker 1: heartbreak in this, right? I'm a little worried that... So,
55:12
Speaker 1: I don't see Rowan or Aelin dying. I'm a little
55:16
Speaker 1: worried about a potential death of Adion. Yes. I'm a
55:22
Speaker 1: little worried about a potential death from Adion because... It
55:25
Speaker 1: could be a reason why they're not giving us too
55:27
Speaker 1: much storyline on him. I wouldn't care if he died
55:30
Speaker 1: at this point because there's not enough about him. I
55:32
Speaker 1: still love him though. Maybe a potential death from Lysandra.
55:37
Speaker 1: I could see Manon dying. I don't. Everyone seems to
55:41
Speaker 1: love Manon though. I see Manon and Dorian as mated.
55:46
Speaker 1: Or Dorian might save her. I see Manon and Dorian
55:49
Speaker 1: as mated. And going to be together. Maybe not mated.
55:52
Speaker 1: Maybe just they're together and they're going to rule together
55:55
Speaker 1: at some point. I see that. He unites the witches.
55:57
Speaker 1: It's just like, who else could die? Because you can't
56:00
Speaker 1: have a good book without a bit of heartbreak. I
56:03
Speaker 1: think Adion has to die, personally. Adion, shit. I think
56:06
Speaker 1: Adion has to die. It could be Rowan, but he
56:10
Speaker 1: gets brought back to life. Because the only other thing
56:13
Speaker 1: I could see, when those last chapters were going through,
56:16
Speaker 1: I was like, Diana's going to take Rowan's power and
56:19
Speaker 1: not give it back to him. That's what I was thinking.
56:20
Speaker 1: And he dies from that. Here's what I think. So
56:25
Speaker 1: we find out in one of the books coming up,
56:27
Speaker 1: maybe not this, maybe this book, maybe not. Aelin, she
56:31
Speaker 1: goes through the settling, but doesn't lose her power, but
56:36
Speaker 1: she's not immortal. She's going to die at the age
56:39
Speaker 1: of 80 or whatever, like people die. And then at
56:42
Speaker 1: some point in Kingdom of Ash, Rowan dies. but gets
56:47
Speaker 1: brought back, but he's not immortal anymore. So they'll live
56:50
Speaker 1: happily ever after and not. True. And he won't have
56:53
Speaker 1: to mourn her death for, you know, thousands of years.
56:57
Speaker 1: I like that joke. All right, baddies. If you're still

57:32
Speaker 1: She said, I said, like we're recording. She said a
57:35
Speaker 1: text 40 minutes ago. She said, get your reaction to
57:37
Speaker 1: this pic. We look at the pic? Yeah, okay. I
57:42
Speaker 1: better look at it. It wouldn't be her naked. I
57:43
Speaker 1: was about to say, that sounds like... Let me just react.
57:45
Speaker 1: But you said our reaction, or your reaction. It's going
57:47
Speaker 1: to be something to do with Darcy. Aww. It's just
57:51
Speaker 1: Darcy wearing a bow. Oh, that's cute. Aww. Imagine you've
57:55
Speaker 1: got a naked picture. It's Darcy wearing a bow. She
57:59
Speaker 1: looks so sweet. Anyway, baddies, that was a good way
58:02
Speaker 1: to end the episode. Oh my gosh, you look so cute.
58:04
Speaker 1: For all the baddies too, we're actually not allowed any
58:07
Speaker 1: dogs in this unit. Oh yeah, everyone's like, bring Darcy
58:09
Speaker 1: in the studio, bring Darcy. We would, but where we
58:12
Speaker 1: are isn't allowed dogs. So next, if we move studios
58:15
Speaker 1: one day, we'll try and make sure it's dog friendly
58:16
Speaker 1: so Darcy can chill. Yeah. Anyway, baddies, we love you.
58:20
Speaker 1: Stay bad.
