• 0:39
  Speaker 1: That's a feel, Jake. I mean it feels good. I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, it kind of feels exciting. We had a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: break from the book club and a lot of people
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: were sad. I'll say the emotion was. But I feel
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: like it's had a really good effect on me. Tell
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: me how you feel in a sense of like, I'm
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: excited to read. Oh I've always been excited, like to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: read Slash do the book club?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say I'm excited to do
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the book club. The only thing with this one is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I finished this book already.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, Jake, finished this book already, which is actually going
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to work in our favor a little bit, because I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: feel like Jake is going to be a bit more
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: about the audience's side, and I'm going to be the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: novice than.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yoube who's reading things and being in it for the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: first time. Yeah. So I picked up Throwing a Glass
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: at the airport like three weeks ago, maybe four weeks ago,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long ago, and at that point
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: in time we had like ideas of bringing it back.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But I was just like I was at the airport.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I forgot my kindle and I saw throwing a glass
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and I was like, fuck it, there's no time at
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the present. Like if we're not doing it on book Club,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we're not doing it on book Club. And then I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: told Oddie or I think I put on the story,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: like guys, I'm doing it. And then Oddie was like, fuck,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I shit, maybe I'll read it as well. And so
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: ODDI goes and buys the whole series. You've got the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: whole series, right, I do, Yeah, it was on sale.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I so I only have Thrown of Glass Stel And
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: then Addie like, we come up with this plan of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: how we're going to do it. And then I was like, well,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: fuck like, I'm not waiting, and I just I kept
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: reading and I finished the book and so.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I honestly, to be honest, Jake told me he was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: at chapter twenty five, and I thought what we were
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: saying meant he would pause at chapter twenty four. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was like, fuck your way, like this guy, then we
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: can read it. And then he said a week later,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fucking up done. I was like, the lowest fucking reading,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking, fuck it, now I'm being nice
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and not picking up the second book. It wasn't even
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I was a slow reader. We didn't have fucking time
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to record the book club. I hadn't even started reading yet.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So everyone tell Oddie to pick up the fucking pace
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: so I can read the second one, because I'm going
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to read the second one with him.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Man, if we're going down that avenue, the book club
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is happening. If you was up to you, you'd just
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: be reading and not fucking doing anything.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: If I started a book club on my own, I'd
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: read it and I'd do one episode and then I'd
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: read all the rest of them and forget to film episodes. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the structure comes from me, and the energy comes
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: from Jake.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I will say, Okay, disclaimer is we're reading Throne of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Glass first and The Assassin's Blade third. All right, we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just want to let the batties know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's not the chronological order, but it seemed the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: way to do it. No, it is the chronological I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: believe that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: So, no, it's not chronological order, but it is the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: date of release order. Yeah, I believe it's the release order.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But everyone's sad to do it this way.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: From my fifteen minutes of research, fifteen minutes, I'm giving
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it too much that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Three minutes I went down a rabbit hole. I had
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: one person be like, I highly highly highly recommend reading
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it after everything, and I was like, okay, cool, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I put that on my story and everyone was like, no, no,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: don't do it. Don't do word shit.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And what I've learned from reading is it is a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: very very opinionated community, which is good, but also like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it definitely plays on my side.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think that's what ruined Fourth Wing for me. Okay.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I think I had this expectation that it was going
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to be amazing because of what everyone told me, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: then I got into it and I felt like I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was underwhelmed because of the expectation everyone had set for it. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: whereas going into Agatar, we were both very, very blind
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and I was like experiencing it for the first time,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: which is what I've done with this book.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I know nothing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen a single thing online about Turn of Glass.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've left it that way. I want to read like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at least half of this book and get my own
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thoughts and feelings before I start watching other AI or
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this shit. I know there's not a dramatized version of it,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: but I think.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That there is. Some AI hasn't come up for me yet,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: but I felt the same. It was good reading this
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: without knowing anything. Like the only thing I knew about
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: this book is that there's a character named Dorian, but
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I knew nothing about what he was, who he was.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And I think, I think that's the best way to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: do it. And like we said, we are nubes noobs.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: One of the books that you've been reading, actually, because
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you're a bit of an expert.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I've read I'm apparently reading one called Daggermouth hmm, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it's pretty cool, but.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's the wistuff everything you've read and finished. Oh, shit
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all of them, just like quickly.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You've read Rising, So I've read the whole Red Riser series,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: waiting for the last book of that. I've read Two
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Twisted Crowns, which was a duology. I've read both of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: those books. I've read The Will of the Many. There's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a second book of that, but the ending of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Will of the Minute Will of the Many was confusing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I have read obviously Akatar. I finished Fourth Wing. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: finished the whole series. Iron Flame was a grind, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in the end I got to say, the ending is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: pretty cool, and then the next books is actually pretty
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: cool as well. And what else have I read?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Project Hell Mary, good book? Yeah, good book. I need
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: my kindo here. I got some fucking shit on that thing, mate.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I started the theory, how that's not really it's like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: self help you fantasy?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And then I'm reading Bye is that by? Who's that?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: By Mel Robins?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, That's what I was going to say. Yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: my mum's read that. She said it was really good.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I read it at three and one night when I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't fall back slop. Oh, fair, fair, fair baddies. Why
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I got Jake to do that?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Is comment below I've been telling him to do this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: every time he reads, because he'll read that ten twenty
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: chapters at a time, record a one minute video after
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it of his thoughts and feelings and posted on his
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: personal Instagram. So comment Bela if you want that, because
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I'll give it to him. He reads a lot quicker
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: than me, and his heart's really moving. But I tell
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you I've hadn't, don't you. I've had that idea, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've I've filmed one after after our conversation, and then
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: like six months later, nothing's happening. I filmed one and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then I just don't know why. I just fucking I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: can't do it. You could hold a gun to my
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: head and I wouldn't do it. To start, I thought
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it'd be fun to just list off some characters and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you can tell me if I've got the pronunciation right.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool, I'm pretty confident with the pronunciations.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with the main character, Selena Sarah Dothian.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So it's yeah, Selena. I think it's Sara Doothian. Oh,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Sarah Dothian. I don't really know. I was only going
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: first names, but I think it's like Sara Doothian is
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: what I was saying in my head. But Selena is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: right because you could say Selena, but I think.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's Selena. I got confirmed, which
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is the main character. Very cool to start as well,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but we'll get into that. Khole west Fall, it fucking collapped.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: What it's Kale?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: No, it's not right. It's kale is. That's Kale Irish
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the name, it's that's how you spell it. It's Kale,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: dude ira comment for Loway.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I have got in confirmation from the baddies already it's Kale.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: The reason I think you're wrong is I'm listening to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Drum the normal audio book when I'm reading it it's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Khle really because I thought it was Kale two But
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Kale is Kle.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know. And that's the.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Irish pronunciation of and how to spell it because I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: watched a video and one of his blogger's friend's name
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is Khole.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And he's spelled c h a O L. Hey, look,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: she might have chosen an Irish name, but the only
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I'm only getting my confirmations from the baddies, okay, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so I'm trusting them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And then we've got Dorian that one's easy, easy, have
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a lot. I don't think they pronounce heavily. The King
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of Adria Adrian.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure it's the King of like Ardan or Arden
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, they just say the king keeps hate. Yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard his name. I don't know if you
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: know his name. I think you just say the king.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: That's all I got for characters. Oh yeah, wait, so
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: there's actually others that come in that I've been tricky
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to pronounce. But you'll get there, Okay, you're just assume
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the audio book you'd have like Sarah J. Mess being like, Yep,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that's how you do it, that's he do it. That's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: why I thought I was right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: But I also I'm pretty sure I've seen a clip
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of her somewhere being like, I don't care how people
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: pronounce anything, like do what you want?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: True?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, I don't know. It's just the audio
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: book too, so I don't know how much or Sarah J.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Mass actually had, like being involved in that ship.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Uh Indobia talking about places now, yeah, that's I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's right. That's how I was pronouncing it. Riff, hold
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: up the city of Yeah, there's a t in there.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Rif told. I think it's riffed.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I think, And then how do you say? Is it
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: l the homeland.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: L we?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually am not one hundred percent sure, Like
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: do you are you talking about E L W y
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: E or something like that? Yeah, e y double l Y.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And I was saying, I was saying, like al we
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: or something like that. That's weird. You got I gotta
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: get how the fuck does A J. Mass come up with? Well,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: here's the thing is, like I have a feeling that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: she probably like the reason the values is saying it's
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: pronounced kale is because I assume Sarah J. Mass is
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: on the on the book somewhere saying I say it
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: like this like kale. But then she wanted she didn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: want to just be like k early because that's boring.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So she's like, look, can I do c H fucking
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: ao L like to be fair, That's how I do
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: when I have kids, just fucking have the normal pronunciation
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: but spell it weird. Yeah, that's why I want to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: name my kid kale and have it's pronounce the same
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: as kle West For.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You want to name your kid k oh.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You said that, I've said it the other day. Yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, h is that where you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: got it from? And I didn't start reading yet. Yeah
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't didn't click with me.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: But like, here's the thing is, you could be right
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on the pronunciation of that, because yeah, on the technicality
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: type thing, but I guess subjectively, I'm right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We're recapping every chapter, thoughts and theories to every
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: plan twist. We'll break it down for you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, Jake, as we said, I have read chapters one
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: through to ten.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You've finished the books.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Let's just give a brief summer summary of where we're at,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what we're feeling a little bit with the start of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the book. If you could go back in the timeline
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: six months ago, probably not six months.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: When did you start reading this, like like three and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a half, four weeks ago. Yes, it's still freshening your mind.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, the whole books. Yeah, okay, Yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that's good.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Well, we meet Selena Sarah Dothian in the salt mines
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of Endovia.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Initially I was like, fucking, it's pretty cool. I love
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Hey, I can picture like her.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: She's a slave. Yeah, and we find out that she
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was Adriana's most notorious assassin.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I kind of think it's cool, the only I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Originally I thought it was cool how it's like you're
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: meeting a prisoner. Yeah, I thought that was cool.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think it is like you weren't chucked into the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: deep end and so mass does that a fair bit.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But it was just like interesting, That's how I'll say
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I felt. I was intrigued by that. Yeah, I always
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: struggle with like, I don't think I have like the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: craziest imagination either. It's like I always like when they're
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: talking about like the fucking salt mines or whatever, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: how she's a prisoner, Like I genuinely was just thinking
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: of just like a small woman in just like rags
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: for clothing, shackled out. But I didn't think of that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I can't picture the minds properly. Like what I just
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: picture is her just like sitting in a cave fucking
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: like shackled up with.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Some Now I was sort of the similar I've watched
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of Star Trek and they've been prisoner on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of other worlds, and I was kind of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: picturing that with a bit of like high techie I know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it's set in the olden time, but like that in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the background is what I was initially thinking.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, valid with Star Wars.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And then she was being escorted by Kale or Kejo
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: west Fall, the captain of the Royal Guard. That sounds
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: such a cool fucking title is Royal Guard.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: What they have in Canada? Is that? What that was?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Now that's our CMP, Royal Royal Mounted Canadian Police. Oh
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it's close enough. Pretty good god, But so yeah, it
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was pretty sick because she's like straight away thinking, all right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: who's this fucking guy leading me somewhere? And she's like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't really get led anywhere that often.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And it's kind of funny, like every turn they take,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: she goes, oh, he's trying to fuck around with me,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Like I know that We've just taken the same term
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like four times, so I know exactly how to get
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: out if need be. But also Kale just like doesn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: show his face for a while at least. Yeah, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: she's and know that he's really young, does she?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we find out that they're both or Kales leading
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Selena to the Crown Prince of Adriana, which is Dorian.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Is it Adriana so I thought it was our Dan.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Look, I could be wrong. Is it on the back
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: of the really wrong? This is what's good about the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: first episode. Yeah, we get corrected.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I swear I was pronouncing it ah Dan, like the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: crown Prince of h Dan. But because let's have a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: quick look, surely the book your yours, if you yours,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: looks closer. But that's what my brain was doing. No,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: it's because she is called ada Land's assassin, king of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the crown Prince of ada Lan. I don't have to
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: pronounce it ad just say it's funny though, because after
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: reading Akata, I remember how much I was struggling at
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the start of the first book, and then it just
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: becomes second nature. And then you also just accept that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: like whatever the first time you say it is it
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: is just stuck.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to read it as that now, Well,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: fare was freyer and that got changed.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: That's to be fair. That's because everyone introsed you. If
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you did that, that is what it is. That's about
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: chapter one though, Yeah, it's easy.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And then chapter two we go into a littlebout at
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: about her past in a sense of she was there
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: for a year and surprisingly she was in good health.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, she wasn't dead. Yeah, she wasn't dead.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: But we find out, I don't know if this is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in chapter two, that like she was being treated a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: lot more harsh than the other prisoners because she is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a notorious assassin being whipped extra. But the only reason
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: she was good is because certain other prisoners looked after her.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah shit from way ellwere yeah, elwey and I reckon,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm with that that mentioned that say mentioned with I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: think she'll go back and try to flee the people
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: who helped her. Hey, as soon as I saw that's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: what I thought, I hope so. And then we also
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: find out that she was like three feet away from escaping.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: She like got three hundred and sixty three feet. Yeah,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they sold mine.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah, she gets led into the fucking crown prince
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and Dorian's like, she also likes to be like, wow,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: he's handsome, Dorian's are fucking vowdie.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And she's she's a bit of a bad He also stays, yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: she's just.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: A bit maldeprived, malnourished. Yeah. Basically he's like, you look
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: all right for a year in here, like yeah, and
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: then he's also kind of like, so, what's what's the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: girl here? What's like, why are you so good? Or whatever?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And then someone goes, oh, like four months in she
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: tried to escape, and he's like cool, everyone tries to escape.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And then he goes to someone like what's the average
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: distance people get to like the wall? And then they
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: go Kale goes like, oh, I know, three feet before
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: they get killed. And then he's like, oh, how much
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: she make it? He goes like three hundred and ninety
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: eight feet or something like that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she killed like twenty guards or some shit, twenty
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: six guds and she was like three feet away from
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: actually escaping, and she don't know what happened. She got
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like knocked out three feet away, which there might be
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: something techy in that, I think correct because she doesn't know.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: She doesn't know why.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's got something to do with Magico because
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: she was three feet away and then she got knocked
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: down and doesn't remember anything.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Ah dang. Also, she did it as a suicide thing.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: She knew she wouldn't make it. She thought she'd die. Oh,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: she wanted to kill herself. She wanted to kill herself.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it comes out later too. Solanna's only eighteen
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, she's fucking young, so she would
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have been seventeen and the best assassin in the whole
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: fucking country.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: That's about chapter two. Chapter three, we find out that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the king wants a champion and he's holding a competition.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: What he wants an assassin for himself?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is? She just wants someone to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: do all his dirty work basically, So he's going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: hold a competition.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, like olden day like jousting kind of times,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a competition all the difference.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Dudes, you fascinating. I'd like not to give anything away,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: but like you, the competition is like important, but like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: at the same time, like I'm really excited for it. Yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: but like one of the things is just like archery.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding, you know what I mean?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, like fucking like fool, what do they
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: gladiated type shit.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I won't give anything away, but I would say, like
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the competition is slightly underwhelming. But you it's just a
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: lot of character stuff, like a lot of you just
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: learn a lot. Okay, okay, okay.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I do feel that this book it's giving that vibe
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in a sense of like just scene setting.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, and then that's about it. We're meeting, we're
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: learning a bit more about Dorian and Selena. Yeah, one
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: thing sotain. But at the end of chapter ten they
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: get to they're at the glass castle, right, the Glass Palace,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and like she explains it as just like ginormous, huge,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: huge YouTube. And she also hates the fact that she
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: has to go to a glass castle. But before that,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: they take like three weeks to go from the salt
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: mines and go through these forests and stuff. And she
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: makes mention that magic used to exist in these lands
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and it used to be ruled by Fay. So the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Fay used to rule these lands and then the humans
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: somehow fucked the Faye up and just like the King
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: band magic, the King of Adalin or whatever band.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Which doesn't make any sense after reading Akata. Yeah, it
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sounds like the Fay that ran these lands. Bro where
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: pussies compared to like fucking recent shit. Yeah, they think
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: about the Akatar Fay.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is going on here? The humans are
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: nothing legitly, how do humans have a power? You pussies? AnyWho,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say pussies just like weaklings. But she talks
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: about being descendant from a magic bloodline. But and I'm
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: pretty sure as a child used a bit of magic,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: like they have, they have a touch of it. She's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: human but like has a touch of magic, but hasn't.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: She's like convinced herself that that was just a fever dream. Ah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: And they're in the woods one night on their camping
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: trip back. There's like twelve guards or some shit, like
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you know, Dorian's up the front with Oh, what's that
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: guy's name? He's a fuck with He's the one that
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: like shoves her face to the ground. And when she
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: initially meets Dorian, yeah, I don't know his name. Ah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: he ends up being he plays like a vital role
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: in this book in the end. What's his fucking name?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Who cares? Doesn't matter? Oh Duke Parrington. Duke Parrington. I
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: think it's only mentioned once. Yeah, Duke Harrington is the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: guy that fucking shoved her face to the ground at
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the beginning. So they're all there and then like Kale's
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: just got a chain to him the whole trip back.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: But they're chilling one night around the fire and and
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: like everything randomly goes eerily quiet, and then Kale kind
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of for some reason can tell that she's kind of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: like knows something, so he talks to her about it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and she goes, well, the woods that we're currently in
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: used to be ruled, like everything used to be ruled
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: by Fay and like the oak wood that we're in
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: or whatever, you know, it's pretty dense or some shit.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: They could still be here, you know, and they're like, ah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: you know, no magic, no magic.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And there's gonna be like some cereals or something in there,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and then some what oh a cereal would be sick
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and if they live forever, and shit don't they?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they know everything. Anyway that the next morning
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: she's woken up and there's like footprints and flowers leading
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: from like her pillow out, and she thinks it was gnomes.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: She makes mention of gnomes. Remember they used to be
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: like gnomes and beasts and animals roaming like magical beasts
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: remedies forests, and they hurt her and they're they're they're
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: with her. So that was subtle foreshadowing. Yeah, that's the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: technical term. What do we call it? Bread crumbing? Bread crumbing?
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Bread crumbing and.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Basically too, like the last like they get to the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: glass Castle.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Oh shit, a guys, done, lots.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Of feelings predictions to one of the fictional men that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we always do.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: You're enough and streaming again. This is the Relatables book Club.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Let the throw and the Dogs begin, all right, thoughts
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: and feelings, Oddie current, I've got so many? Hey, really,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: just because I don't know. I'm excited and I don't
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: know that I don't know too much. To be honest,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was, when I was at this
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: point in time where you're at. I can remember my
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: thoughts and feelings being like it's like it's boring, sover
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like cool.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so Solana's obviously going to win the challenge
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to become the King's assassin or whatever. Okay, I think
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be This is tough for you because I've
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: got I can read you really well, and you've got
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to like pretend like if I if I hit the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: nail on the head, you can't say anything, and if
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I'm completely wrong, you also can't say it.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: It'll be if you're completely wrong, it's going to be
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: easier to lead you astray.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think okay, her, Solanda and Kale or Cal are
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: going to have sex at one point. No, you did
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: mention at dinner that there was no sex. They're going
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to kiss at least.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Also, there's like a there's a spoiler that I wouldn't
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: say spoiler. I'm pretty sure in the whole series there's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: like fuck all sex, Like it's not a spicy sey.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Well, this is Sarah, Sarah J. Mass wrote this. This
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is where the baddies let us astray. Everyone told us
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that she wrote it when she was seventeen, which is right,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but then she went back and rewrote it when she
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: was like twenty six.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like she rewrote it when she was a better writer. Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And also I dare say a lot of the essences
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: when she was seventeen and not into.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Sex as much. I would assume that. Yeah, and then
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a guitar came along and she was fucking she was like,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: she goes, I'm fucking horny. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: So predictions, I think she'll win that, but there will
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: be a lot of like finding out about new characters
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and they're going to try and like make sure she
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't win, and a bit of what's it called when
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you play dirty?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I guess because she's the most talented.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But then also they have like better ties to the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: king and are in better positions. One thing I didn't
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: understand is like, so she has to do it. We
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: didn't say she does five years of her time. They
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: bargained it down from six, didn't they. So if she
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: wins and then she's free. I think they got it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: down to four. If she loses this challenge, she's dead.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Well she has to go back to Endovia.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Oh so they don't kill her giving her alive. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: so so she's just handy.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically, if she wins, she's the King's champion,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: signs a contract, she gets paid a lot of money,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: and she's for four years. She has to do his
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: dirty work. And then she was also not allowed to
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: say a word about it, obviously, and then she gets
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: her freedom. She earns her freedom, and if she loses,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: she goes back to Adovia, or if she dies, she
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: dies whatever. But also one more thing is that they
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: have to give her an alter egos. You're not allowed
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: to go by her na because her neighbor is so
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: famous that if all the other champions knew it, they'd
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: all just back out.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: She must be like, which I'm really intrigued to see
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: her skill, like I'm keen for that. I reckon, here's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: my throw in the dark. She is going to become
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: really close to Kale, and Kale doesn't actually like the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: king because the king forced him into the Royal Guard
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and did something to his family and that's why he
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: became the leader of the Royal Guard when it was because.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: He's so young. He's only twenty uh huh.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And those two are going to try and come to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a plan to kill the king, but they can't, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: instead of doing that, they're gonna save some people from
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the salt mites. Okay, okay, there's my throw on the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: dark and the way the king is phrased initially, I
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: haven't read much about him, is I think that like
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: he's one of the characters where he's so important, but
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you also don't know much about him. He's like on
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a hierarchy up the top of the Pyramids game and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you don't really see him, but he is so powerful.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: It's it's like it's kind of annoying how powerful he is,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: but also it like makes sense.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to throw in the dark about Faye
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: though that this is because it's got to be throughout
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the book because of that mention that foreshadowing, you'd think,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, okay, faye, what's going to happen? I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: think that there's efens, there's essences of.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: It like the gnomes. Ah, what is it? Or does
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: she win the challenge by using magic. I'm not going
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to give anything away that could be.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That could be an a or the Her and Kale
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: bond over magical powers. I'm keen to see how it's Remember,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: magic is illegal, like if you get caught, you're dead.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Interesting, So the people at Andovia are either people that
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the King's armies have conquer and they're just taking them
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: as slaves, or people that have been caught trying to
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: use magic or like fevery or something like that. Okay, interesting, Ah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have a throw on the dark from magic
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: yet I'm finding it interesting because everyone says you got
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to readly throw in the glass before. So the new
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Akatar has been announced and everyone told us we've got
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to read this first, so it's got to be connected.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Well, everyone's saying it's connected, and also Crescent City we
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: need to read. I think I'm just I think I'm
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: just gonna read Crescent City without you, because apparently Crescent
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: City is like it's like all I've heard about Crescent
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: City is that the whole series of Crescent City is
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: like it's like the if you think of the Sarah J.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Mass like Universe of books, it's like the Iron Flame
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of Fourth Wing, so like you know how, you know
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: how just iron flames like a grind. And then I
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: would say on ex Storm is actually quite good. Apparently
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: the whole I've seen Crescent City. Yeah, the whole series
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: of City apparently is like a grind. Yeah. Interesting.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind too because like this is going
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to take us a long time to get through. I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I'll be into Crescent City and like
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: being transparent, I'm having fun and enjoying this. I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I really like Sera jam Mass's a writer, but also
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: like I'm doing.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: It for the pod. Also, I'm going to say one
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: thing we do need to We need to work out
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: a timeline because Akata six drops in like October, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: then Akata seven drops in like January or February one.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Planning to I'm hoping this will finish by the time
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that comes out. These would be nice and I'll and
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I'll read Crescent City and I'll let you know if
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you need to read it.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay on that point too, I guess Throwing a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Glass will be six parts, it'll be ten chapters, and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the last one will be fifteen chapters.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Oh this guy, let's go, so stay tuned for that. Eh.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: We love you baddies. Let us know if you like
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the new structure too. Yeah. We want to keep it
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: nice and simple, short and sweet, and will tighten it
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: up a bit.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just the first one. We're putting feelers out there.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Let us know what were pronounced wrong so far?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Though? Do you enjoy it? Do you enjoy it? Yeah?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying it. Hey, I think something I don't know.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I might be because I'm such a nube. Something about
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Sarah tay Mass.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I really like it's comfort. Yeah, it's comfortable.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like she makes it easy for someone who
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: isn't the biggest reader. Yeah, I feel like Fourth Wing.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: That's where it lost me. There was a lot, there
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: was too much going on where I was like, I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: don't fucking want.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: To read that. You could read Red Rising, Red Rising,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Oh you could not read it?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I go really good. I'm a bit of a cheater,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it's relatable. I really like the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: dramatized audio better. But also the audiobook in the background
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: when I'm reading.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Now, apparently that's not cheating. Luke Bateman reckons that he's
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: come out and said, like he made this video saying,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: if anyone tells you that listening to the audiobook is
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: cheating and not reading, they are so wrong. He reckons
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: there's been stuff he's done that when you listen to
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: an audiobook that it's the same part of your brain
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: being stimulated as when you read. Interesting.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: What I want to do too is just read two
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: chapters in the morning, two chapters before I go to bed.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Keep it nice and simple, easily simple, sweet before bed.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea. Some of the chapters in this
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: are short. Yeah, that's it. Oh and Batties. We want
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to say, if you're listening to this on Spotify, this
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is the first one. We've done something cheeky this time,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: haven't we Jake? Oh Yeah, yeah, look bit cheeky.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 29:36
