  Speaker 1: Previously on Relatables Baddie's book Club.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I think that the King has brought Roland, Dorian's cousin,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: from some other little like city that's like a nothing
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: city because they have no army or nothing like that.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: They have like a guard, but like they're of royal blood,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: but they just kind of have this city that's a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: nothing city. I think that he's grooming Roland to take
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: over from him and Dorian. Oh, he's going to give
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: He's going to get Roland to be the king of
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: not Dorian, because he knows that Dorian is going to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: undo all of his dirty work and be a really
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: good king. Welcome to Relatables Baddie's book Club, where we
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: will embark on a journey reading some of the finest
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: pieces of literature you have ever laid eyes or is.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: If that's your preferred way to consume a book. On
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Crown at Midnight, Chapters twenty through two forty, he looks
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to be done. You looked at me like you forgot
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we do we building? I was building the fucking suspense
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and you ruined it, mate. That's what I was.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We told them like two episodes ago that we literally
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just have to do twenty episodes each time, so they.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Know what, twenty episodes each time? You reckon twenty chapters.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Each Ah, shit, bro, I I have I'm keen for
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: thoughts and feelings because I have thoughts and feelings, thoughts.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Of feelings, predictions too, Yeah, me too. Way, oh, it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: turned up. I actually saw an interesting comment which made
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. Do you know how, Oh,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we've chosen to read Assassin's Blade third? Yep, apparently, which
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: made a lot of sense. Do you know why I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: really angry that Selana is not a cold, hard killer? Yeah, apparently,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it makes so much sense she is the way she
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is if we read that first, But when we get
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to it third, we'll be like, oh, oh see, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I want that. But I like that. Yeah, yeah, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it makes sense, I think. But all of all of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the way that I'm feeling, especially is because of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: way we've chosen to read, of course, yeah yeah, yeah,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But also I have a feeling like, you know, Sarah J.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Mass would have written Assassin's Blade first if she wanted
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: everyone to know everything about Selena before the first book,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Throne of Glass, but she didn't.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: She wrote it after we are reading it. In the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: right order.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Then, so I think we're reading it, Well, we're reading
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it in the order that the vast majority recommends reading it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But no, what was order it came out in.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I think it came out It either came out after
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Throne of Glass or after Crown of Midnight.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's that's the big question right there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know someone that read the entire series without reading
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Assassin's Blade and.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Loved it still, And so it says no, it says
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Assassin's plays the first book. Jay, Oh, no, it's done. No,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it is the first book. Chronologically, Yes, I did. That
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: wakes me. That still wigs me out. So Crown of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Midnight no, sorry, let's start it. Thrown of Glass came
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: out in twenty twelve, Crown of Midnight twenty thirteen, then
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Assassin's Blade twenty fourteen. But the first book's Assassin's Blade.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Ye ye yah yah. Yeah, so because that's chronologically. So
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: so she wrote this and then came back and was like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I can add some more detail to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like Selena's fucking personality here exactly. I have a feeling
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: she would have done it on purpose.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and see, like I'm I'm I think I don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: know if I could say I'm a purist in this
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: way or not, but like I like to read prequels
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: after the actual series, like I am.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: With Red Rising, there is a so there's the whole series,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: but then there's a prequel of a like humongous character
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: who you you don't know how he got to where
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he is. In Red Rising, you never find out how
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: he got to where he is, but when you read
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the prequel, you do and it's almost like and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: prequels like a comic book style.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Book.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It's actually fucking sick, but like it's it's, in my opinion,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: so much cooler to read it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: After one question, what does a purist mean?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Learn this Uh? Learn this word from my new friend
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Luke Bateman, Oh purest So where he used it and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was trying to use it just to slip it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in a conversation somewhere is.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I was trying to tell him to get a kindle
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and he goes, oh, I can't get around a kindle.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: He's like, I'm too much of a purist. I just
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: like read the books like, nah, the real book and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah. So he just says like he's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a purist in that way, like he's like, yeah, fuck technology.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so like you read the original or the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: first one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm a purist in the way that I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: want to read it, in the way that the author
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: released it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Ah, I like that? Or am I a purist? Then? Ah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm you're a purist. I don't know what do I like? Originally? Well? No, no,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: here's the thing is like, I know this isn't the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: episode to do it, but Krispy Kreme original Blaze. That's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: where I'm a purist. But I love that. I love
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that you slip that in, mate, honestly, so fair.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: No, you could be like, let me think about this, right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: what is I reckon? I can figure out what you're

  Speaker 2: a purist in? Okay, Well, I know, but.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: There's ones before it. I like older cars. Wait let
• 5:23

• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's how you could be a purist, right, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like a purist Jake. When when you do a rewatch
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, do you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: watch Lord of the Rings first because it came out first,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: even though the Hobbit is set before it, or do
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you watch the Hobbit first, then the Lord of the Rings.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. There you go. You're a purist
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in that way. You represent bad he is comment below
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what you're a purist in even though I am like
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: ninety five percent sure when the books were released J R. L.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Tolkien and or whatever he did release the Hobbit first,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: then Lord of the Rings, then the Silmularian. SIMILARI it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: like some sassas, fucking like weird group of books that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: like novels, it's so hard to read.

• 6:29
  Speaker 1: she got? I was gonna say Star Wars. It's not
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the right word. Got. What's the word not? Motivation inspiration

  Speaker 1: Wow.

  Speaker 1: Kale Selena, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So I enjoyed
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: these chapters. What about you? I thoroughly enjoyed them too.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Should we get ow? I don't know rebuttals or anything
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that I can get us out of the way to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: start there? You go? You go? I you know how
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: like Kale knew that there was a threat to Nehemia,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought that was a passing comment too,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like he didn't really know shit, Yeah, he hasn't really
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: been told anything. And then and then he got like
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: tortured in a sense of he knew everything. I was like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: fuck that boy, Kale kind I didn't really know shit.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So here's my thinking, right is, after after a few
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: days of calming down and thinking about.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: It, like.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: To be fair, he was told that there is suspicion
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that there that there has been a threat made to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Nahemia's life, and like, you know, that's not his secret
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to keep like he's acting all like what's the word?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You know, kind of just like you know, I don't
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: need to tell anyone this because like it's not my business,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: like the Kings asked me, like this is the king's business.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: You know, the kings asked me to put an extra
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: watch on Nahemia, which I did, Like, I don't need
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to tell with Nahemia that there's been a threat maid
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: on her life, and I don't need to tell Selena.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: And it's like, yes, you work for the king, but
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: like you have literally said that you don't know if
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you can trust him, and you don't know if working
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: as the captain of the guard is what it was
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: like once meant to you and you're like in love
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: with Selena?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Do you reckon he should have told Selena because he's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in love with her. Is that what you're saying? Hundred?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Like I am now I think it's valid that she's mad. Oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I still think it's valid that she's mad. But I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: also think, like, here's where my head went. It's like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you told me that one of our
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: friends was cheating, and then I got in trouble and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: we did, in fact find out that they were cheating,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: but I didn't tell anyone because I thought it was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: my place not to tell. And I'm like, well, what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the fuck? I was just caught the middle of this bullshit?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, I think that's that's what I was thinking.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, it's actually not like that,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: though I feel like I don't really like that. Like
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it's like if you were told by someone that a
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: threat has been made on Cassie's best friend's life, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: then you and then you don't tell Cassie or her
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: best friend, and then her best friend gets fucking murdered. Yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: but I was thinking it right, it would be a
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: real life example. That's literally what happened.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I do see your poet, but I also say I do.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I am sixty percent towards how you feel, but forty
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: percent towards like Kale was I caught a court.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: In no man's land sort of yea yeah, yea, yea, yeah, yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: I see, I see, I see what else the I
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I I just I was really really starting.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: To like Kale, and just like purely for the fact
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that he's like, you know, like I'll leave with you
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and then they have sex, and you know, she just
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: like is talking about how it just feels like he's
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: always been the one that she like and needed to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: end up with. Even before she said like, she said
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: this like sick comment in her own mind about how
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Kale was the one before she even knew who he was.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Does Dorian know that they've been fucking He doesn't it,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know surely, but like I don't know, man,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Like Dorian's like everyone's like, I don't know if just
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: everyone's into me about how Dorian's character is going to develop,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like hectic, hectic, hectic, right, But I.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Just want everyone to like at least tell me whether
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: or not, like did you did everyone feel the same
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: about how I feel about Dorian when you guys read
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: this point in the book as well, because like, to me,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Dorian is literally right, he's a prince that's never had
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: someone say no to him. I know Slain didn't really
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: give Hi much of a chance, but like she said, no, right,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: she doesn't want him. She wants Kale, not anymore, but
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: wanted Kale, right. And then he's all like jealous and shit,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: acting like she's fucking his even though he ends up
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: making comments saying like she was never mine, Like, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: he literally says to Kale like you can have her,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: as if like giving him permission, and it's like, what
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: do you what permission was needed to be given?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Well, in his head, he thought that was noble, like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, but I also think Assassin's players going
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to explain all of that all your question though, so
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I think will be answered and then right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: So he literally also like Sarah J. Mass has written
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: in monologue or not in a monologue or whatever of
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Dorian that like he is feeling guilty, that he has
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: feeling that he's feeling a sense of relief that she
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: now hates Kale, Like, dude, that's your best friend.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You know. They don't seem like best friends in a day.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: They don't seem like best friends at all. They seem
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: exactly like men are in the real world.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: The way Luke described how like we are all raised
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: at patriarchal society where it's like when we are friends,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: the reason it's always so surface level and like that
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: we feel alone or whatever is because we're.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Competing with each other, no exactly to it, and like.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: That's also and like that's kind of how it is.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Like sees Dorian as like he's fucking prince. He says
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: him as a friend, but it's also that he is
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: his prince and he knows that It's like I could
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: never compete with him in that sense, Like Dorian how
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: about you talk to Selena and be like, you know,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: how the fuck was Kayle supposed to know instead of
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: just like swooping in and being like, let's have dinner together,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: let's do like fuck off, Like I don't know. It's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: also valido that slender doesn't like Kayla right now, like, oh,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Know this doesn't like anyone, to be fair, and now
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: what are we happy about? Umm? I really like interrupt
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: fucking Archer kidnapping Kale and then being like, oh I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: didn't think you would get angry Selena? What do you mean?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I thought this was just a good way to get
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you out here, not fucking coming here to try to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: kill all my men, Like what do you mean? Archer
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is a dumb ass? Yeah?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, what's going on? Genuinely a dumbers she
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: kills like fifty people?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're like that's what I liked, Like she
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: was a fucking and also the whole reason Tale was there,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it didn't make any sense.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they knew that, they knew that he meant
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: something to her, and she like goes abe shit, right,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: what I do? Like so like I am acting angry
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, but like Obviously it's a good
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: book because it's bringing emotion out of me.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: One thing I'm loving is that we're getting like a
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: villain revenge arc from Selena, Like she's she didn't want
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to help you away, she didn't want to be like
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: a part of that. She just wanted to run away
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: and live her chill life. Because like the defeating the
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: king is just something that is way too big of
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: a task. But like, obviously now she's going to go
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: do that shit.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: And also, can we do predictions because I have gnally predictions. Oh,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: we can go straight there if you want to. Do
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you have anything else to say quickly? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah. Firstly,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Dorian had to use his little freeze magic to catchure Selena,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and she knew no one else did. Oh yeah, so
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: she knows he has magic. That was something cool that
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: was breadcrumbed. And then other thing was the magic system
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: about the two worlds, open a key, three rings, blah
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Giving a lot of the rings annoyed
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: me a little bit. Three rings and a king. Really, yes,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it is to open a portal to another land. What
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: do you mean that's giving a lord of the rings
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to a tea, No portals and Lord of the Rings
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is it. Yeah, that's how all the orcs come through
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and shit, and that that guy dude, Orcs are elves. Yeah, no,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: what's the the whole Sarn. Sarn's just like a fucking
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: mythical being.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's literally what it is. Sarn's one side of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the world, and then Selena is the other side of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the world. Okay, giving all of the rings, but the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: other two points I wanted to touch on, but also
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I was right and I said that would be a portal.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And then she has the power to go through each
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: side and bring people out and they'll go to our predictions.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Cue the song lots of fearless predictions to one of
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the fictional men like we alway and screaming again. This
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: is the Relentless Book Club. Let the throw in the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: darks begin. Okay, right there you go first, because I reckon,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I reckon, I've got a banger. Okay, okay. Number one.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Number one prediction is Nahemia. She like knew she was
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: going to die.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: She sacrificed her life because because they that's how bad
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: they needed Selena.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Number two, all right, Number two is Selena is the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: long lost heir to the throne of terrasin Ah. Like
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: that number three, Selena is has I'm pretty sure you
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: predicted this last episode her. She is magic, right, and
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: her magical power is just like everything is heightened. Everything
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: about her is anst and heightened. Yes, because Kale's like
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: gets Kale gets rides a horse behind her when she
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: runs back to the thing to find Nahemia dead, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Kal says to dor and like, dude, I got on
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a horse and she beat me by a mile, Like
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: who can do that?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Number?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Wait? Number four? Yeah? Wait what did I say? So far?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So I think that Selena is the royal blood. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: think that she's got I agree with your prediction about
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the magic, how everything's heightened. Nahemia knew she was going
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: to die.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: She planned that.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Oh the king, the king is so Back in the day,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the elves banished the valve, which are the demons, right,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: because the valg came through the rift and and then
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: broke the rift because they wanted to come in and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: take over the world. They weren't all banished, all right,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: They weren't all banished. And the way they're now taking
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: over the world is by possessing the king, and the
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: king like and like possess sing whoever has the rings
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: maybe or some shit like that. I think the King's possessed.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so you actually think the king. I think
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the Voga is still here. Yeah, I agree with that prediction.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I have one prediction that kind of goes with your
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: first one about Nahemia knew she was going to die,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and she sacrificed herself to get Selana on board. Going
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: one step further, if we start with that, she sacrificed
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: herself because she knows Solana is going to find the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: portal where Nahemia will be and she'll bring her back
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: through and she'll be alive, So she knows that she's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: not actually so she's physically dead, but like her soul
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: is alive. Yeah, and she'll she'll be able to like
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: talk to so oh jock. She'll be bringing her back
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: for real, for real, she will at least be able
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to talk to her. And I that's what Hemia will
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: play a role in a sense of random stuff will
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: happen where like Selanna's about to die and then like
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a gust of wind will come and be like, what
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the hell that's NHMA or something. Yeah, that's tactic. Yeah yeah,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: actually that was my one prediction. But well, the book
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is turning up. Yeah, we're finishing it soon. Oh my
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: godfteen fIF fifteen, that's all. That's all. Fuck, I'll read
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: them tonight. Brow maybe sixteen, but fifteen to sixteen. What's on?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: There's something weird on the back. Maybe they give a
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: teaser of the next book on the back apparently apparently
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: did baddies. What's this? So the book ends? Read on
• 28:32

• 29:12
  Speaker 3: That's.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: If you're listening on Spotify, if you're listening on Patreon,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you're getting them slowly before Spotify having gets the first one. Yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: so I just want to just that was also via
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: your votes, like Patreon baddies voted for that, and then
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: people commenting wigging out and then and the reason we're.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Reading so quickly. But I think a lot of bad
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is like that is because we're timing all of this
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: for the release of book six and seven. Yeah, of Akatar,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: which comes out in December and January. I'm pretty sure
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: October number six comes out in October. Holy shit, we
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: will do that one slowly, but I reckon, I reckon. Yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: we savor it. Yeah, chapter the time, two episodes a
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: week or some shit.
• 29:51

• 30:09
  Speaker 1: This is what I did. I had notes and then
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I was reading them and I was like, fuck these notes.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And I threw them and I rambled for like fifty
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: minutes fifty minutes. I just was talking and I was like,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this makes sense at all, but
