Speaker 1: Previously on The Relatable Baddies book Club under the Soil's
0:02
Speaker 1: Way collar button. If we fucking battled a pirate and
0:08
Speaker 1: then we went to the desert, I wouldn't be surprised
0:10
Speaker 1: if we went underground.
0:12
Speaker 2: Okay, that'd be cool.
0:12
Speaker 3: That's why I said, giant worms that dug the ground
0:14
Speaker 3: out now they're extinct or something that'd be hectic.
0:17

0:20
Speaker 4: on a journey reading some of the finest pieces of
0:23

0:46
Speaker 3: they want your recaps back.
0:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of people, to be fair, I only
0:51
Speaker 2: saw I think I saw two people say it. I
0:52
Speaker 2: saw too too. Yeah.
0:54
Speaker 3: The thing with that is the only reason we don't
0:56
Speaker 3: do it is literally like I know it's an excuse,
0:59
Speaker 3: but like it's of effort on your part.
1:02
Speaker 2: And I also post though I find I get a
1:05
Speaker 2: bit more I start to get a bit inaccurate and
1:08
Speaker 2: like I'm trying to remember while I'm talking. I'm going
1:10
Speaker 2: to do that for you this time.
1:11
Speaker 3: By the way, about it, I think it's because you're
1:13
Speaker 3: more like passionate maybe maybe true.
1:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, like reading the summary back would be a bit monotone.
1:19
Speaker 2: They just like you.
1:20
Speaker 3: I just want to say before we get into it.
1:22
Speaker 3: My prediction about the giant worms. Damn you mate, sometimes
1:26
Speaker 3: you gotta like throw and hope it sticks, because yeah,
1:31
Speaker 3: sometimes you gotta throw you never know what it might stick.
1:34
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's there, But iack in a.
1:35
Speaker 3: Minute when I'm wrong.
1:36
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, anyway, let's we'll go into the recap recaps.
1:44
Speaker 2: We're recapping every chapter, thoughts and theories to every plot twist,
1:49
Speaker 2: will break it down for you. So we open up
1:54
Speaker 2: with Selena. She's she's coming back into the city of
2:00
Speaker 2: Riffthold and she's going in and she's like telling herself, like,
2:04
Speaker 2: I'm straight away, I'm going to tell Arabin Hamil that, well, how.
2:09
Speaker 3: Do you picture Arabin like as in looks or looks
2:13
Speaker 3: persona older man? Okay, yeah, slightly gray, So I'm picturing
2:19
Speaker 3: like silver Fox vibes. That's what I was picturing, very wise,
2:22
Speaker 3: who's like anyone I can not Like I was gonna say,
2:28
Speaker 3: the only silver Fox I can think of is like Ganda.
2:31
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm not even silver fox.
2:33
Speaker 3: Who's a good silver fox? Like so top of my head,
2:36
Speaker 3: I'm almost thinking, I'm think a good looking but yeah,
2:38
Speaker 3: so I'm thinking good looking as well, like pretty like
2:41
Speaker 3: rugged good No, so you know what BEF versus gf
2:44
Speaker 3: BF first, g okay, him as a silver fox really
2:47
Speaker 3: and maybe like five years.
2:48
Speaker 2: I don't hate that, That's what I'm I haven't pictured that,
2:50
Speaker 2: but I don't hate that. But so yeah, he's like
2:52
Speaker 2: silver fox vibes, like, I think he's obviously quite fit.
2:57
Speaker 2: Still we never we never were the only thing we
3:00
Speaker 2: know about him in any sort of combat is just
3:02
Speaker 2: beating the fuck out of Slena and her not fighting back.
3:05
Speaker 3: I don't really know his skill.
3:06
Speaker 2: We don't really know his skill anyway, So should we
3:08
Speaker 2: go in?
3:08
Speaker 3: But she taught so he taught Slana everything she knows.
3:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so he's got to be and he like
3:12
Speaker 2: brought people in to teacher ship. He's like Yoda. Oh yeah,
3:16
Speaker 2: I think he's like a beast. Yeah, I mean, I'm
3:17
Speaker 2: assuming he's a beast. And so okay, I'm trying to
3:21
Speaker 2: I want to. I'm gonna I want to remember well
3:23
Speaker 2: for you about it's okay, And I'm not going to
3:25
Speaker 2: go chapter by chapter. I'm just gonna start ranting. Anyway,
3:27
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. And I know where I'm supposed
3:29
Speaker 2: to finish it this episode.
3:31
Speaker 3: Throwing and sticking.
3:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just going to throw and see what sticks
3:34
Speaker 2: and see if he can reel me in. So we
3:37
Speaker 2: go in and then so she's like, I'm going to
3:39
Speaker 2: fucking give him these trunks of gold that she got
3:42
Speaker 2: from old mate, silent assassin guy, and just say to
3:46
Speaker 2: Arab and like a board a boarding department, and I'm
3:49
Speaker 2: I'm leaving fucking out, and and also I don't owe
3:51
Speaker 2: you shit. Yeah. She goes in and he's kind of
3:56
Speaker 2: like right and stuff at his desk, and she's just like, yeah,
4:02
Speaker 2: this fucking guy and he's just like classic, he just
4:05
Speaker 2: knows every move in the book to be the one
4:10
Speaker 2: in the power situation. She goes in, they don't talk.
4:14
Speaker 2: He's kind of like just where he's like signing papers,
4:16
Speaker 2: signing papers, signing papers, papers, finally finally gets to like
4:21
Speaker 2: her letter from the fucking silent assassin guy, and then
4:24
Speaker 2: he kind of like says shit, but and then he's
4:26
Speaker 2: just like, I'm sorry. She's like stunned, and he's just
4:31
Speaker 2: like all apologetic, starts showering her with like love and
4:36
Speaker 2: affection and gifts, right, and he's like, and I have
4:42
Speaker 2: one one gift to top them all off. And it's
4:45
Speaker 2: a job. So she's got to kill this guy. Right,
4:49
Speaker 2: there's another city. There's like a big parade of people
4:53
Speaker 2: coming from another city to rift Hold, like malsand or
4:55
Speaker 2: some shit. And what they want to do is they
5:00
Speaker 2: It's like, actually, hella fucking confusing if you really think
5:04
Speaker 2: about it. Just like, so there's a guy who goes
5:08
Speaker 2: by the name of doneval right, powerful businessman. His ex
5:12
Speaker 2: wife who I believe he married while she was young
5:18
Speaker 2: and is now his ex and like I think they
5:22
Speaker 2: like pretend they're still together or some shit. And then
5:26
Speaker 2: she hates his guards, right, And but I think she's
5:31
Speaker 2: kind of like the head of this confusing She's like
5:34
Speaker 2: the head of this city between all of them, and
5:36
Speaker 2: so basically the reason someone and it's so this woman
5:40
Speaker 2: that is like the head of this city. I think
5:43
Speaker 2: her name is like Pharaoh or something more like. It
5:45
Speaker 2: was confusing anyway, So Doneval is the one that it
5:47
Speaker 2: needs to be killed because he has a meeting set
5:50
Speaker 2: up while in Rifthold to a he's exploiting the slave trade.
5:58
Speaker 2: And what she's been told by Arabin is that she
6:01
Speaker 2: needs to kill Doneval, get the papers that have these,
6:06
Speaker 2: like to find out what important papers he's got, and
6:08
Speaker 2: also if possible, kill the person he's meeting with, because
6:14
Speaker 2: she hates slavery first found out and that Skull about
6:18
Speaker 2: Skull's Bay, and so she's kind of like cooka cool
6:20
Speaker 2: and so it's in like seven or seven days or
6:22
Speaker 2: some shit. Okay, cool. Now she's walking back, we run
6:26
Speaker 2: into Sammy boy is becoming that boy, all right, Sammy
6:30
Speaker 2: Boy walks out and she's she's kind of we're learning
6:32
Speaker 2: a bit more about like Assassin's keep and like Arabin
6:35
Speaker 2: Hamil a bit here and there. And now sam comes
6:39
Speaker 2: over and she's like confessed her love to him, or
6:42
Speaker 2: at least she's confessed feelings to him while being away,
6:47
Speaker 2: but then for some reason when she sees him.
6:49
Speaker 3: It's young love classically young man.
6:51
Speaker 2: She's like nah, fuck yeah, yeah, fuck yeah, I don't
6:54
Speaker 2: want you, right, And then he's kind of wearing his
6:57
Speaker 2: hard on his sleep a bit, which I like a bloke,
7:00
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, okay, And so he's there and then
7:04
Speaker 2: there's a bit of like a party going on, and
7:07
Speaker 2: then we hear about the name right remember so Lysandra.
7:12
Speaker 2: So Lysandra is about uh Selena and Sam's age, and
7:18
Speaker 2: she has been brought up as a courtesan. She still
7:21
Speaker 2: holds onto her virginity and her bidding is soon and
7:25
Speaker 2: and the bidding is when she gets put into a
7:28
Speaker 2: room and all these people bid to literally take her virginity.
7:32
Speaker 2: What is it?
7:33
Speaker 3: What was the quarters in again?
7:34
Speaker 2: A prostitute? It is that, yeah, and so it's.
7:39
Speaker 3: Just that's like upper class normal things, upper class prostitute
7:44
Speaker 3: and it's got the old English sense and.
7:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so like Lysandra's like proud to be this
7:50
Speaker 2: like and she she's a beautiful, beautiful and like everyone
7:52
Speaker 2: wants her virginity right like crazy. It's so crazy to me,
7:56
Speaker 2: sounds crazy to say, it's wild. And like yeah, she's young, bro,
8:00
Speaker 2: she's about to down like eighteen or something. Anyway, she
8:03
Speaker 2: hates uh Selena and Arabin Arabin fucking she he like
8:09
Speaker 2: loves Lysandra and Lysandra's owner who goes by the name
8:14
Speaker 2: of God Clarice, I believe it is, and like Clarice
8:18
Speaker 2: is the one that was originally going to bring Sam
8:21
Speaker 2: up as a quarters in, but then Sam's mum, who
8:24
Speaker 2: worked for Clarice, was like, no, please, no, like the
8:27
Speaker 2: only thing she wanted was for him to not be
8:28
Speaker 2: a quarters in. And then Araby, it's with the men
8:31
Speaker 2: can be quarters in, so who yeah, yeah, yeah, men
8:33
Speaker 2: can be goose That's what Archer was. Yeah. Anyway, they
8:37
Speaker 2: hate each other, Lysandra and Selena, they fucking hate each
8:39
Speaker 2: other's guards or whatever. And then Sam's been hanging out.
8:41
Speaker 2: So Sam has been like basically their bodyguard Lysandra and
8:45
Speaker 2: Clarice's bodyguard for you know, a while now with the
8:49
Speaker 2: preparation to her bidding, like her birthday and some and
8:53
Speaker 2: shit and so fucking Slaana is like holding that against Sam,
8:58
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what do you mean. I'm like, Slena, like,
9:00
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. Saana's like mega in immature in
9:04
Speaker 2: this very toxic too. And I usually would be like yeah, yeah, yeah,
9:08
Speaker 2: the boy's I mature, but like Sam's the mature.
9:10
Speaker 3: How she perceives herself and how she perceives others is
9:13
Speaker 3: very toxic.
9:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, AnyWho, and like to be fair, it's Araban's doing
9:20
Speaker 2: I think at least, oh yeah and childhood. Yeah yeah, yeah.
9:24
Speaker 2: So she just kind of like says some hurtful shit
9:26
Speaker 2: to Sam and then bucks off and he's like, right
9:29
Speaker 2: now we go and where we go? I'm kind of
9:34
Speaker 2: like my memories like seem it's like betraying me a
9:37
Speaker 2: bit here. But she does a little bit of like
9:39
Speaker 2: scouting on Doneval. He's got like a lot of guards.
9:42
Speaker 2: She finds out where he's staying. She needs to find
9:44
Speaker 2: out where the meeting's going to take place and when
9:49
Speaker 2: it's going to take place, and that's when she's gonna
9:51
Speaker 2: fucking go down and get the papers, kill them both,
9:54
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And so she we end
9:59
Speaker 2: up at a little side mission. We end up at
10:03
Speaker 2: the theater, and the theater is they've got this nice
10:07
Speaker 2: private box that Arabon owns. She likes to mention like
10:11
Speaker 2: it's a nice box. It's off to the side of
10:13
Speaker 2: it though it's not like those royal boxes. Right, I've
10:16
Speaker 2: been really waiting for this, like mention of the Prince
10:18
Speaker 2: in the guard anyway, comes it, it comes later. And
10:22
Speaker 2: so we we're at this thing and the beautiful music. Great,
10:27
Speaker 2: we love it. She's crying, she's got tears from how
10:30
Speaker 2: good this music is. She's of joy from how good
10:32
Speaker 2: this music is. And then we leave blah blah blah. Okay, cool, right,
10:38
Speaker 2: Sam sees how much she loves this music. Right, Sam
10:44
Speaker 2: gets her the Sheep music to it and it's not
10:47
Speaker 2: been released yet. He's a good boy, my boy, a
10:51
Speaker 2: good boy. Sam gets her the Sheep music, and she's
10:55
Speaker 2: like all he does is like pop it on her
10:58
Speaker 2: bed too, Like he doesn't he just doesn't even care.
11:01
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, like she did alles like that. She
11:03
Speaker 2: knows it like that every day. She just knows it's
11:06
Speaker 2: from him, bro. And so then Sam ends up. I
11:12
Speaker 2: think Sam ends up like convincing her that she needs
11:15
Speaker 2: help with this like donival thing.
11:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like murdered them potentially awesome, Yeah, it stop
11:20
Speaker 3: the trade.
11:21
Speaker 2: So she ends up being like, fine, you can help me,
11:25
Speaker 2: and like once, she's just been so mean to Sam
11:27
Speaker 2: the whole time, where she's.
11:29
Speaker 3: Got that like independent to her own fault kind of nature.
11:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. Anywhoy, like just help, take some help.
11:35
Speaker 2: He's still the beast. Yeah, that's a good point.
11:37
Speaker 3: Make Lafe easier.
11:38
Speaker 2: Okay, So we go to a party one night. Arabin's there,
11:41
Speaker 2: like there's a big, big party and Doneval's going to
11:44
Speaker 2: be there, right, So there's this big, big party they go,
11:47
Speaker 2: it's packed and then Arab we find out. So like
11:50
Speaker 2: i'd like, I don't think anyone knows that Arabin Hamil
11:52
Speaker 2: the person is the king of Assassin's Like I think
11:54
Speaker 2: that's all like pretty well, hush hush, Yeah, Sam, everyone
11:58
Speaker 2: knows of Sam caught and they have no idea Sam
12:01
Speaker 2: Coughlan is an assassin.
12:03
Speaker 3: They don't know Selena.
12:04
Speaker 2: They don't know Selena at all, right, Like no one's
12:06
Speaker 2: ever seen Selena's face.
12:07
Speaker 3: I haven't been pitched over with a mask on this
12:08
Speaker 3: whole time, though, I have a But.
12:11
Speaker 2: So Lysandra knows who Selena is and like she's like,
12:14
Speaker 2: I guess if Erabon trusts her, then then then I
12:17
Speaker 2: trust her, But she doesn't. At the same time she
12:18
Speaker 2: has And so they're at this party and Donoval's over
12:23
Speaker 2: off over in the corner kind of like spending money
12:26
Speaker 2: on like the some like strippers type of thing, I guess,
12:29
Speaker 2: or just like young women to hang around him, and
12:30
Speaker 2: she's like you gross. Whatever. So she ends up going
12:34
Speaker 2: over and getting some info out of him by acting
12:38
Speaker 2: like someone that is interested in him and his money,
12:42
Speaker 2: and he doesn't care about that, like he's like, yeah,
12:44
Speaker 2: takeing us to it money, got it, That's what it's
12:46
Speaker 2: there for. Take my fucking money. And so then she
12:50
Speaker 2: finds out. So she says that she is the daughter
12:53
Speaker 2: of a merchant or some shit like a a businessman,
12:56
Speaker 2: merchant who would love to meet him, but her dad's
12:58
Speaker 2: not here to I and he's like, oh, of course,
13:00
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and he's like all kind of like
13:02
Speaker 2: lovey eyes over it, and so she finds out. She's
13:06
Speaker 2: trying to say like, oh, when are you available, and
13:08
Speaker 2: he says I'm available this day and she's like, oh,
13:09
Speaker 2: I actually no, that won't work. That won't work. And
13:11
Speaker 2: then she's like she knows the day that this meeting
13:14
Speaker 2: is supposed to happen, right, so she goes, well, how
13:16
Speaker 2: about this day and he goes, oh, okay, let me
13:18
Speaker 2: I could do it at like you know, X time
13:20
Speaker 2: blah time, and she's like oh yeah, yeah. And so
13:22
Speaker 2: basically he she finds out when this meeting is because
13:25
Speaker 2: he fully rules out. He's like, oh, like seven, seven thirty,
13:29
Speaker 2: just no, it's just a no go for me. I'm
13:30
Speaker 2: busy at seven. And she's like thinking, okay, well before then,
13:33
Speaker 2: so they planned to me before anyway, He's like hector.
13:36
Speaker 2: She's like, that's exactly when it is obviously right now.
13:40
Speaker 2: She then is I can't remember why she she's doing this.
13:48
Speaker 2: Let me think, give me a second, actually think about this.
13:51
Speaker 2: She gets like court at one point, and she ends
13:55
Speaker 2: up in the sewer, but I can't remember why she
13:58
Speaker 2: ends up in the sewer, or like if she was
13:59
Speaker 2: already there. I'm pretty but she know she gets caught.
14:02
Speaker 2: She get caught?
14:03
Speaker 3: Was she hiding from being court?
14:06
Speaker 2: I can't remember what the fuck happened? And so bad
14:09
Speaker 2: is this is actually one of the reasons why I
14:10
Speaker 2: don't like doing it this way, because like it actually
14:13
Speaker 2: is difficult to remember everything because you read so much.
14:16
Speaker 3: I couldn't do this for sure anyway, but just in
14:20
Speaker 3: the sewer.
14:20
Speaker 2: I think there's just like one night where from memory,
14:24
Speaker 2: Sam is like, oh, I'll come help you. Scope They've
14:27
Speaker 2: been like sitting across the road from this house to
14:29
Speaker 2: like get the rotation of the guards and get all
14:32
Speaker 2: like getting routine of doneval And so what ends up
14:37
Speaker 2: happening is I think she just goes alone one night
14:40
Speaker 2: and Sam plans to come meet her, and she's like cool, cool,
14:43
Speaker 2: and so I believe she just gets caught. I can't
14:47
Speaker 2: you doesn't have to comment, I can't remember. And then
14:50
Speaker 2: she is in the sewer, right, and what's happening because
14:53
Speaker 2: there's so many people in the city. They there's like
14:57
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of maybe rubbish in the
14:59
Speaker 2: city or some shit. And so what they do in
15:01
Speaker 2: Riftholt is they dam up wherever the water comes from
15:04
Speaker 2: to get it to build up, and then they let
15:05
Speaker 2: it go and they like actually flood the sewers to
15:07
Speaker 2: just like clean up like stewers. And I think it
15:10
Speaker 2: just cleans a lot of stuff up. A lot of
15:11
Speaker 2: it gets up on the road. She said, like chat
15:13
Speaker 2: and shit anyway, ones I feel like that it's giving that.
15:18
Speaker 2: And so she ends up down there and she's tied
15:22
Speaker 2: to a chair. She's wearing this like six suit of
15:25
Speaker 2: armor that Arabin bought her as a gift, another gift,
15:28
Speaker 2: and it's like this hectic suit of armor with like
15:30
Speaker 2: heaps of hidden daggers and like the daggers are hidden
15:32
Speaker 2: so well.
15:33
Speaker 3: Did she have the.
15:34
Speaker 2: Spider silk on her? Yeah, she has like this spider
15:37
Speaker 2: silk put into it that she got given in the
15:39
Speaker 2: other one, in the desert one. And then so she's
15:43
Speaker 2: down there and they tie her up and they're talking
15:44
Speaker 2: to her and they're like, stupid girl, stupid girl. And
15:47
Speaker 2: they turn around and they leave her in there, and
15:49
Speaker 2: they know that the sewer is about to be released.
15:51
Speaker 2: They go through this iron door that goes back up
15:53
Speaker 2: into the house. She's like, okay, I'm obviously underneath the house.
15:56
Speaker 2: And so they leave her there and shed they like
15:58
Speaker 2: have fun dying or some shit. She gets out, she
16:00
Speaker 2: cuts herself out of the ropes with their hidden daggers,
16:02
Speaker 2: and she's like, ship, where the fuck do I go?
16:04
Speaker 2: She goes over the door sealed shot. I hear scenes,
16:06
Speaker 2: I like, just kill her. I know, I don't want
16:08
Speaker 2: to land her die.
16:09
Speaker 3: But they always in movies in books, they always have
16:11
Speaker 3: like some massive plan you have fun die.
16:15
Speaker 2: Also give her a chance. If I need to kill someone,
16:19
Speaker 2: if it's like I'm watching them die, I'm actually anyway anyway,
16:23
Speaker 2: so she gets out and then she's stuck there and
16:25
Speaker 2: she's like, shit, where the fuck do I go. What
16:27
Speaker 2: she's trying to find is just like a sewer hole
16:29
Speaker 2: back up into the street, and so she ends up
16:31
Speaker 2: finding this place. She crawls, she's crawling, crawl and crawl
16:34
Speaker 2: and crawl and crawl, and gets there and then she
16:36
Speaker 2: there's like, there's great. She finally finds her way up
16:38
Speaker 2: to the street through a ladder and then the by
16:41
Speaker 2: the way, the dam has been released and it's coming
16:43
Speaker 2: and the water's rising and slowing gold and she's she's like,
16:45
Speaker 2: there's pool all over and shit. And so she gets
16:49
Speaker 2: this great and it won't budge, and she can see
16:51
Speaker 2: like the streets, you can see the sky, and there's
16:53
Speaker 2: no one out in the streets because everyone's like, oh,
16:55
Speaker 2: this sewer is being flooded. I don't want to be
16:56
Speaker 2: out there right now. And it's late at night and
16:58
Speaker 2: she's banging and she's like, fuck, I can't out, and
17:00
Speaker 2: then so she just starts screaming for help, like help me,
17:03
Speaker 2: help me, help me, And then we hear Selena and
17:06
Speaker 2: Sam's there walk in the streets because like he went
17:09
Speaker 2: to go find her on the top of this roof
17:10
Speaker 2: they were scoping them out on and then she just
17:13
Speaker 2: wasn't there. So then he hears her screaming down the
17:15
Speaker 2: street and he's like fuck, goes over. He's trying to
17:17
Speaker 2: pull out these like bars and shit, can't do it,
17:20
Speaker 2: just so fucking rusted shut off some shit. And then
17:23
Speaker 2: she literally is like saying, I don't want to die here.
17:25
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like Sam, help me. I can't die here,
17:27
Speaker 2: can't die here, not in like this poo pooy water
17:29
Speaker 2: comes up. She goes up, she has to hold her
17:31
Speaker 2: breath and like she literally is like gonna die. And
17:35
Speaker 2: then next scene is her like coughing all over the ground.
17:37
Speaker 2: She opens her eyes. She's on the groun blah blah blah.
17:39
Speaker 2: Someone's brought a crowbar over. They got her out, and
17:41
Speaker 2: she's like covering in turns and then she's all sick
17:44
Speaker 2: and shit and Sam's like, yeah, that was fucking crazy.
17:47
Speaker 2: She goes back to the keep and she baths for
17:49
Speaker 2: two days or some shit, like uses all the whole
17:51
Speaker 2: water blah blah blah. And then Arabin's still being all
17:56
Speaker 2: nice to her and all that type of shit. And
17:57
Speaker 2: then I think we find out like Lysan it goes nah, sorry,
18:03
Speaker 2: wrong order. Basically, you know she's chilling, she cleans up,
18:06
Speaker 2: blah blah blah whatever. Now they are like, obviously the
18:10
Speaker 2: way we're getting into the houses through that sewer, because
18:12
Speaker 2: they fucking showed me where it is. So what they've
18:14
Speaker 2: done is they've scoped out. They're like, we need to
18:16
Speaker 2: go down there, and what's gonna happen is We're both
18:18
Speaker 2: gonna go down there hide. Sam's gonna be out of side,
18:22
Speaker 2: Selena's gonna be out of side.
18:23
Speaker 3: When they caught Selena, did they know that she was
18:26
Speaker 3: like a notorious assassin or they don't think so. I
18:28
Speaker 3: think she was just some random girl that was scoping about.
18:30
Speaker 2: They just saw her scoping them out. That's what happened, right.
18:33
Speaker 2: They're like, you didn't think we'd see you. Fucking Also,
18:36
Speaker 2: you're Selena Sardotia and Dlan's Adalan Adelaine's assassin or some ship.
18:39
Speaker 2: How do you get How the fuck do you know?
18:42
Speaker 2: What's really really fucking annoying by these Randy's is like,
18:46
Speaker 2: so Sam and Selena in the next part, I'm sorry, guys,
18:51
Speaker 2: I have to admit I've read ahead. In the next part,
18:53
Speaker 2: Arabin mentions like you two are my best. How do
18:58
Speaker 2: you get fucking caught with?
19:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, massive argument in the sense of like re Sand
19:02
Speaker 3: and Farah like an almighty beating being that no one
19:06
Speaker 3: can beat, whereas like these two, like I guess, need
19:08
Speaker 3: to feel human so we can relate to him to
19:11
Speaker 3: me like if you if you've got the title of
19:12
Speaker 3: the most notorious assassin, it's like it's like Messian Ronaldo.
19:16
Speaker 3: And then like we go and tackle them.
19:19
Speaker 2: No dead set, that's like what I imagine anyway, it's
19:23
Speaker 2: like fighting a fucking UFC fighter, Yeah, and us having
19:26
Speaker 2: a chance, Like what are you talking?
19:28
Speaker 3: We like knock him out?
19:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, It's like it's like we nearly beat them,
19:32
Speaker 2: and it's like, what are you legit? Anyway, I guess
19:36
Speaker 2: it's lazy writing to just make him never fucking have
19:38
Speaker 2: an issue. But so far, they find a servant goes
19:43
Speaker 2: and chucks some trash into the fucking sewer. Selena dips
19:46
Speaker 2: into the cellar hides and then she leaves the door
19:50
Speaker 2: a jar for Sam to come in in a few hours,
19:52
Speaker 2: and so she has to wait in there because she
19:54
Speaker 2: knows it's at seven thirty and it's like five PM. Now,
19:56
Speaker 2: eventually she sneaks away up to the study where they
19:58
Speaker 2: know this meeting is going to take place. She's in
20:00
Speaker 2: there and like, what's going to happen is their plan
20:03
Speaker 2: is that Sam starts a fire right on seven point
20:05
Speaker 2: thirty with all the like alcohol in the cellar. And
20:09
Speaker 2: so basically we're in there and she's in the study
20:15
Speaker 2: and she's trying to find these papers and she's going
20:17
Speaker 2: through everywhere she can't find them, can't find them. And
20:19
Speaker 2: then she's gone from walking around and then she hears
20:21
Speaker 2: a creaky floorboard lifts it up. There's the papers, right,
20:23
Speaker 2: and all these papers are are safe houses for slaves.
20:28
Speaker 2: And so what she's thinking is that Donaval is going
20:30
Speaker 2: to be selling out this safe houses to the slaves. Yeah, right,
20:35
Speaker 2: so she's like shit, now she hears Doneval and some
20:38
Speaker 2: other guy to come have this outside the door to
20:41
Speaker 2: come up this meeting here, opens the door and he's like, oh,
20:42
Speaker 2: you know, blah blah blah. She she shows herself and
20:46
Speaker 2: in an instant she's killed Donival. Brosky's goals. Yeah, other
20:50
Speaker 2: guy swift as a fucking rabbit, run sprinting, runs, She
20:56
Speaker 2: runs out. She hears an explosion, boom, Sam set the fire.
20:59
Speaker 2: She's like, fuck, what the hell did he explode? That
21:01
Speaker 2: was huge. Sam's obviously bugging off. Now she's chasing this guy.
21:04
Speaker 2: She goes down to the hallway. She sees the big
21:06
Speaker 2: main security guard that ends up fucking finding her and
21:08
Speaker 2: nearly killing her. And he's like, what the fuck is
21:10
Speaker 2: there alive? And she's like, yeah, you's gonna kill me ah,
21:12
Speaker 2: And then she's like fighting him by and he's like
21:14
Speaker 2: getting in shots. She's like getting in shots. She's like,
21:16
Speaker 2: you know what I'm gonna fucking say with this fuck
21:17
Speaker 2: you blah blah. And he's like, no, you don't understand.
21:21
Speaker 2: Donoval fucking loved his country, bro, And she's like, shut up,
21:24
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm getting paid. Stabs this guy and
21:27
Speaker 2: like the throat or some shit runs off. She's like,
21:29
Speaker 2: where'd this other guy go? Part of the whole contract
21:30
Speaker 2: is not need to kill this guy and get his
21:32
Speaker 2: papers too. She goes out, she running and she chases
21:34
Speaker 2: him down an alleyway show this guy's fast. Cool catches
21:38
Speaker 2: him trying to scale a wall. We can't get up it.
21:40
Speaker 2: She stands there and he just dips, he slides down.
21:42
Speaker 2: He just sits there and he's like, fuck you. Lights
21:45
Speaker 2: his paper's on fire, and then he's like takes a
21:47
Speaker 2: pill of some shit that kills him. She runs over
21:49
Speaker 2: stems fire and she said, well the fuck this guy's dead.
21:51
Speaker 2: She's like, what was he protecting that was worth dying for?
21:56
Speaker 3: Didn't want Arab and I only want to know.
21:57
Speaker 2: So she picks up the papers and she's like, and
22:00
Speaker 2: what it is is I think it's safe houses in riftholds,
22:06
Speaker 2: And so she's trying to piece shit together here, right,
22:09
Speaker 2: She's like, anyway, now she goes home, goes to bed,
22:13
Speaker 2: wake up the next day, and now she's in Arabans
22:15
Speaker 2: study and what she's done and she's placed the papers
22:20
Speaker 2: underneath his study door at the light prior and now
22:22
Speaker 2: he's in there and he's got them and he's like, ah,
22:24
Speaker 2: did you read them? And she's like, you think I
22:26
Speaker 2: had time to read them? And she did actually read
22:28
Speaker 2: them though, and so what ended up happening is he's
22:32
Speaker 2: kind of like why. He's like why what was with
22:36
Speaker 2: the explosion? Like what the fuck? And she's like what
22:39
Speaker 2: do you mean? And d a distraction and like we
22:41
Speaker 2: can blame the blame Donoval dying on the fire, and
22:43
Speaker 2: she's like and he's like, yeah, but where's the body,
22:46
Speaker 2: you dumb girl? Where's the body? Yeah, you're not getting
22:50
Speaker 2: paid for this. You're not getting paid, bro.
22:54
Speaker 3: Give it half half the job and then more than half.
22:58
Speaker 2: And so now oh okay, okay, ready, Hm when does
23:08
Speaker 2: Arabin say, like, you, dumb girl, you just secured the
23:12
Speaker 2: slave trade for me, so to give it away to
23:14
Speaker 2: all the bodies? Is it now?
23:16
Speaker 3: But it was just up this conversation.
23:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, right now, He's kind of like, well,
23:21
Speaker 2: first of all, you're dumb for this many reasons. First
23:23
Speaker 2: of all, I'm disappointed in you. I thought I trained
23:25
Speaker 2: you better, right you just like Donoval was actually trying
23:31
Speaker 2: to save the slave trade. You think the actual slave
23:34
Speaker 2: trade conversation was going on between his ex wife, who's
23:36
Speaker 2: the fucking leader of that city or country or whatever,
23:39
Speaker 2: and the king and the glass castle, and Slander's all
23:41
Speaker 2: devastated that he's like betrayed her, and he's like, She's like,
23:44
Speaker 2: what's his punishment for scols? But he's like, yeah, you
23:46
Speaker 2: fuck up my money again, all right, and and I
23:50
Speaker 2: won't stop next time. It's a bit of a dick
23:53
Speaker 2: to be fair huge dicky. Right, So now the next day, Okay,
24:02
Speaker 2: I'm wigging out of timelines here, but basically there's a
24:05
Speaker 2: point in time when her and Sammy Boy have a
24:07
Speaker 2: big ass argument, right, and he's like, yeah, what, They
24:13
Speaker 2: just have this big argument, and basically I think it
24:16
Speaker 2: gets to the point where he says, ah, oh, they're
24:20
Speaker 2: scoping out the in the steward. They're scoping out the
24:22
Speaker 2: iron door to go into the car before they killed Donival,
24:24
Speaker 2: and they're whispering because they kind of get caught, and
24:26
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, no time like the president. He's like,
24:29
Speaker 2: I'm leaving. She's like I'm leaving. He's like, I gotta
24:32
Speaker 2: get out of here. I'm come with me going on
24:34
Speaker 2: the run. And she's like what and she's like no, no,
24:38
Speaker 2: don't go, don't go, blah blah blah. And then I
24:40
Speaker 2: think this is when he confesses his love for her,
24:42
Speaker 2: and she's like Jesus, bro. He's like, and you know what,
24:46
Speaker 2: because I'd never make you choose between me and Arab,
24:48
Speaker 2: and I know you choose Arabin. And she's like, you
24:50
Speaker 2: stupid fucking boy, all right, you shouldn't given me the
24:54
Speaker 2: chance to at least choose because I would choose you.
24:56
Speaker 2: I don't know you would have no bro, No, she wouldn't.
24:59
Speaker 2: She literally wouldn't.
25:00
Speaker 3: She's immature.
25:00
Speaker 2: She wouldn't have chosen him, no way. And so she's
25:04
Speaker 2: in love with Arabine and like she hates him and
25:06
Speaker 2: loves him. Right, he's got her all fucked up. It's
25:08
Speaker 2: him like he's the fucked up one, but like he'singer,
25:11
Speaker 2: He's got her all sorts of fucked up in the
25:13
Speaker 2: most toxic way is possible. Anyway, she she pays off.
25:19
Speaker 2: The next day, she goes in and pays off her
25:21
Speaker 2: debt with the trunks of gold. She's like, he go,
25:26
Speaker 2: fuck you. I've also got an apartment across the city.
25:29
Speaker 2: I'm leaving. And then she also goes I think I
25:33
Speaker 2: don't know if this happened at the same time. Was
25:35
Speaker 2: a few days later, she's like, you know that Asterian
25:38
Speaker 2: man that I had sold it to, that dumbass, fucking
25:42
Speaker 2: bitch of your fucking whoever paid me to do this
25:45
Speaker 2: job to kill her ex husband, right, and I got
25:47
Speaker 2: her to transfer the fun straight to your vaults. So
25:49
Speaker 2: Sam's no longer your fucking bitch anymore either. All Right,
25:53
Speaker 2: we're free like the poor love right, Okay, cool, didn't
25:59
Speaker 2: believe that for a second, and then I'm pretty sure
26:01
Speaker 2: that's the end of the this one. It was pretty good,
26:05
Speaker 2: like it is good. I don't I don't know why.
26:09
Speaker 2: I can't put my finger on why. I like. This
26:13
Speaker 2: one's just a bit of a grind for me.
26:15
Speaker 3: Like this book, I think it lacks depth, very surface level.
26:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. I think' serface level. I
26:21
Speaker 2: think just just knowing where it's going to go. Maybe.
26:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like I guess you can two
26:27
Speaker 3: plus two weeks four kind of vibes, you can see
26:29
Speaker 3: it coming through. But ah, it is what it is. Yeah,
26:35
Speaker 3: it's still all right. It's definitely a novella. You see,
26:38
Speaker 3: Fourth Wing got announced Rebecca Garris is doing a novella
26:42
Speaker 3: for Fourth Wing.
26:42
Speaker 2: Next novella. What's with the novella's bro next book? I
26:46
Speaker 2: reckon that. I reckon devella's Honestly, I reckon devellas get
26:48
Speaker 2: releases because there hasn't been a book released.
26:50
Speaker 3: No, I think it's a money grab.
26:51
Speaker 2: It's got to be. It's got to being a novella.
26:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll tell you what we won't be reading it. Yeah,
26:58
Speaker 3: I don't know, in your own time.
26:59
Speaker 2: I mean, they won't be finish. I have read all
27:01
Speaker 2: of the Fourth Wind books, and to be fair, I
27:02
Speaker 2: did end up and joining them, but I don't think
27:06
Speaker 2: i'll probably read the developed fair just to we won't
27:09
Speaker 2: do a book the journey.
27:10
Speaker 3: Sorry, we brought up novellas and then that recap my memory,
27:14
Speaker 3: but no. So overall rating out of ten, so far.
27:18
Speaker 2: Out of ten, honest, I hate to say it. For me,
27:20
Speaker 2: this is like a five.
27:22
Speaker 3: I was gonna say five two. Actually, I also think
27:24
Speaker 3: like we're reading obviously it's a journey, but like what's
27:28
Speaker 3: going on in your life in the background also plays
27:29
Speaker 3: a massive part, and like in the background, we're better
27:32
Speaker 3: go on holidays and we're doing quite a lot. Yeah,
27:34
Speaker 3: it makes the reading feel more like fuck, I've got
27:37
Speaker 3: to read it, yeah, not like oh yeah, let me read. Yeah,
27:39
Speaker 3: there's a different sort of mindset shift, and that's on
27:41
Speaker 3: our that's our fault.
27:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, Like that's our true out
27:44
Speaker 2: of yeah, exactly out of everyone listenings control when you're
27:46
Speaker 2: going on the journey, So I can appreciate that.
27:48
Speaker 3: Like, it's also like it adds so much depth.
27:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's also okay, let's just think, okay, how
27:54
Speaker 2: let's how you genuinely feeling about Selena Mid.
27:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like him, so I don't like Arab.
28:03
Speaker 3: I think his character's good, though.
28:04
Speaker 2: I think his character's good because but like I also
28:08
Speaker 2: think like it's it's sort of for some reason, I
28:14
Speaker 2: find Arabin's character jarring because to be fair like to me,
28:23
Speaker 2: I don't think I need backstory for him, but I
28:25
Speaker 2: find him a bit jarring just because of like how
28:30
Speaker 2: I think obvious to me it is of how little
28:35
Speaker 2: he actually thinks of Selena, but she's like he loves me.
28:40
Speaker 2: They're back and forth.
28:41
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's giving like Robin Hood to me,
28:45
Speaker 3: Robin Hood, did you ever watch that like steal like
28:49
Speaker 3: the steal from the rich and give to the poor vibes? Yeah,
28:52
Speaker 3: and said to like Selena has that same mindset.
28:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, look Arab Mid, but also I think the characters good,
29:01
Speaker 3: so I'm actually going to give him higher rating than that.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's like good to have.
29:04
Speaker 3: Him sam my dog. Yeah, liking him, liking him a
29:08
Speaker 3: lot more Sam's on bees Bro and then other wise,
29:14
Speaker 3: look it's good. Yeah, it's worth reading.
29:17
Speaker 2: I'm glad we oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yah yeah. I
29:21
Speaker 2: excuse me. I want to say after this point, I
29:28
Speaker 2: am wishing that we read this first.
29:34
Speaker 3: I concur I agree. I think it would have. I
29:40
Speaker 3: would have said it was boring, but also I wouldn't
29:43
Speaker 3: have had the background knowledge to make a decision like
29:47
Speaker 3: that to say it's boring.
29:48
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, right is, I would have read it,
29:50
Speaker 2: and I think I would have been like full, like
29:53
Speaker 2: full transparency about it. I didn't really enjoy this, but
29:55
Speaker 2: I think, knowing that everyone says the rest of this
29:59
Speaker 2: series series is so so good, I would have enjoyed
30:04
Speaker 2: going from Throne of Glass to Crown of Midnight to
30:06
Speaker 2: Aer of Fire, because, like I remember the ending of
30:08
Speaker 2: Crowd of Midnight, But then we've read like this whole
30:10
Speaker 2: book now of these like random backstories, and Selena has
30:15
Speaker 2: grown so much from the end of this book to
30:17
Speaker 2: the end of Crown of Midnight. But the thing that's
30:19
Speaker 2: in my head most recently is the fact that I
30:22
Speaker 2: think she's like hella fucking annoying and I'm gonna go
30:25
Speaker 2: into air a fire. From thinking she was a beast
30:27
Speaker 2: at the end of Crown of Midnight to being like, oh,
30:30
Speaker 2: actually she used to be this annoying fucking brat, like
30:34
Speaker 2: but like it's not even her fault as well, like
30:36
Speaker 2: it's Arabin's fault. And I think they're trying to like
30:38
Speaker 2: it's almost like they need to do the last chapters. Yeah,
30:40
Speaker 2: they need to paint a bit. They needed to paint
30:42
Speaker 2: a bigger picture for Arab and I understand. And then also, yeah,
30:46
Speaker 2: I understand that, but I think that I just enjoyed
30:51
Speaker 2: like Crowned Midnight way more and shit, yeah, maybe it is.
30:55
Speaker 3: Useful to read the last like two chapters of Crown
30:58
Speaker 3: of Midnight before we get a hair fire.
30:59
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. I mean I remember it says
31:01
Speaker 2: it's hectic, but I think is actually I think her
31:06
Speaker 2: and fucking Sammy boy do they make out in this chapters?
31:11
Speaker 3: No, that's not this one.
31:12
Speaker 2: Oh they don't make it out at all for you.
31:14
Speaker 3: No, so we'll do so Predictions is going to be
31:16
Speaker 3: a little bit different, lots of fear less predictions to
31:21
Speaker 3: one of the fictional man like we always do though
31:27
Speaker 3: and streaming again.
31:29
Speaker 2: This is the Relentables book Club.
31:31
Speaker 3: Let the throw on the docks begin. So Predictions, because
31:36
Speaker 3: we are on a tight timeline.
31:38
Speaker 2: Jake has read the book. Yeah, I've actually finished the
31:40
Speaker 2: book at this.
31:41
Speaker 3: Point, and I'm gonna live through him. So for predictions,
31:46
Speaker 3: it can only be me. And then the last part
31:48
Speaker 3: of this book will be Jake recapping everything. Yeah, so
31:52
Speaker 3: you know what happens, so you just can't give me anything.
31:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know exactly what.
31:55
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, we know that Sam dies. We've
31:59
Speaker 3: known that from the start. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've known
32:01
Speaker 3: that from the start, and like they've got to like
32:04
Speaker 3: you gave it away before. But I thought that too,
32:06
Speaker 3: that there's going to be a moment where Selannea's like, no, Sam,
32:10
Speaker 3: it's always been you. Yeah, I just couldn't admit it
32:13
Speaker 3: to you. And then Sam's like, oh no, yeah, I'm dying.
32:20
Speaker 3: I think that happens. And then I guess, like the
32:25
Speaker 3: whole series, I was hoping you always said it was
32:28
Speaker 3: never gonna happen, that there was a little bit of magic,
32:31
Speaker 3: but I just don't see it happening. To be honest,
32:33
Speaker 3: there's gonna be magic in the series in this book.
32:36
Speaker 3: Yeah no, but I thought like something at the end
32:37
Speaker 3: would happen where like Sam's dying, he still dies, and
32:39
Speaker 3: then she gets really angry and like goes like that,
32:42
Speaker 3: something happens and he still dies, and she's like, oh
32:44
Speaker 3: my god, I've never used this power before, right, I
32:47
Speaker 3: thought that was going to happen, But I don't see that, Okay,
32:50
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be some fucking shitty fight.
32:53
Speaker 3: And then how does Sam die?
32:56
Speaker 2: I think you could try and guess how Sam does this?
32:59
Speaker 3: Araban betray them both, and then something to do with
33:04
Speaker 3: the slave deal. He wants Sam or something to work
33:07
Speaker 3: for him and he's like no, no, no no, and
33:09
Speaker 3: Slanna finds out and then he's like, if I can't
33:11
Speaker 3: have you, no one can slits his throat.
33:15
Speaker 2: That's my prediction. Okay, that's it. That's what I've got.
33:18
Speaker 3: That's that's fair, bro, there's any way way I see.
33:20
Speaker 3: But also like, if he's meant to be such an
33:22
Speaker 3: heat is a good fighter, I know that Raban's the
33:24
Speaker 3: only one I can picture is better than him. Who
33:25
Speaker 3: can kill him or has the power to kill him?
33:27
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But.
33:29
Speaker 3: Also actually everyone ever, it seems like anyone could fucking
33:31
Speaker 3: stab him in the back and no one's gonna know.
33:33
Speaker 2: I dead say it.
33:35
Speaker 3: But all right, baddies, sorry for the rush format a
33:38
Speaker 3: little bit.
33:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, like after the end, after the next episode, right,
33:44
Speaker 2: don't you guys worry, We're gonna We're gonna be coming
33:46
Speaker 2: in with heat with air a Fire. Oh yeah, yeah
33:48
Speaker 2: we are. And I'm pretty are we doing that whole book.
33:51
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna say it yet, but I feel like
33:54
Speaker 3: because we're going away, right so yeah, in the background,
33:56
Speaker 3: Jake and I are going away for over a month.
33:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.

34:09
Speaker 3: recap of Verify. Yeah, so I might write some notes
34:12
Speaker 3: because I forget.
34:12

34:15
Speaker 2: do that, because like summary, the summary will go for
34:17
Speaker 2: two hours.
34:18
Speaker 3: Exactly almost like yeah, a good point. Actually, don't know
34:21
Speaker 3: what we do with that. It's true maybe common below
34:23
Speaker 3: how we could do a full book recap in one episode.
34:25
Speaker 2: We'll make it an hour, Like we could just do
34:27
Speaker 2: it in the sense of like we just both bring
34:29
Speaker 2: our ten favorite moments and like we just don't do
34:32
Speaker 2: a recap, we just talk about our favorite moments and
34:36
