Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Previously on Relatables Baddies book Club. I think that this book,
- 0:03Speaker 1: that the next book is going to be the only
- 0:06Speaker 1: book where she's the King's Champion. I don't think that
- 0:09Speaker 1: they're going to do like two or three books of
- 0:11Speaker 1: her as a King's champion.
- 0:12Speaker 2: I reckon she's gonna does she still have the ambulin
- 0:15Speaker 2: that's going to play a part. She's going to figure
- 0:17Speaker 2: out how to get the queen out of.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Whatever world she's in. I just don't see how old
- 0:22Speaker 1: is How old is the queen though, dude like old,
- 0:26Speaker 1: I don't think she can come back. Welcome to Relatables
- 0:30Speaker 1: Baddies book Club, where we will embark on a journey
- 0:33Speaker 1: reading some of the finest pieces of literature you have
- 0:35Speaker 1: ever laid eyes or is if that's your preferred way
- 0:38Speaker 1: to consume a book.
- 0:38Speaker 2: On Crowd of Midnight chapters one and that's right through
- 0:46Speaker 2: to twenty.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Aby, I just got to say something that I kind
- 0:51Speaker 1: of like this book so far. I do too. Yeah,
- 0:55Speaker 1: it's heapstick.
- 0:56Speaker 2: It's it's already better than the first one oh tenfold.
- 0:59Speaker 2: It's like you could tell the first book was a setup,
- 1:02Speaker 2: and then the first chapter of this was like, thank you.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, legit. It was like, oh, I'm
- 1:08Speaker 1: glad we started with something I wouldn't have read any
- 1:10Speaker 1: further if we didn't.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And we have done our calculations as well, baddies, in
- 1:15Speaker 2: a sense of you might be noticing twenty chapters.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Fuck you guys are beats.
- 1:21Speaker 2: It's because that's how many we've got to do to
- 1:25Speaker 2: finish the whole Throne of Glass series in time for
- 1:29Speaker 2: the two releases of Akatar.
- 1:32Speaker 1: So is that just before Akatar six? Is it?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple like we always get excited at
- 1:37Speaker 2: the end and had a couple like five chapters, and
- 1:39Speaker 2: it's not always finishing on a round number. Yeah, so
- 1:42Speaker 2: it might be at the end like seventeen or like
- 1:44Speaker 2: twenty five or something at the end. And there is
- 1:47Speaker 2: also a few people recommending that we read certain chapters
- 1:51Speaker 2: on like I read them to you, yes, yes, yes,
- 1:53Speaker 2: which we will do when.
- 1:54Speaker 1: We get to them, because apparently they're crazy. I think
- 1:57Speaker 1: apparently last chapter of this this book they read, Yeah,
- 2:01Speaker 1: because it's the second biggest cliffhanger in the whole series.
- 2:04Speaker 2: So we can do that for your baddies. We do listen,
- 2:06Speaker 2: we do read the comments.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Maybe it'd be a Patreon exclusive. Talking about Patreon excluse.

- 2:55Speaker 2: club community is absolutely insane. In our high group chat,
- 2:58Speaker 2: they're talking to each other, getting around it, and they've
- 3:00Speaker 2: given us like thoughts, feelings, predictions, what we should do,
- 3:03Speaker 2: what we shouldn't do, what we did.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Well, what we didn't do well, what we can improve on.
- 3:07Speaker 2: So if you want to join the gang, link will
- 3:09Speaker 2: be in a description of eight ninety nine a month.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Get around it, Yeah, get around it. Okay, shall we
- 3:15Speaker 1: go into summary? Yeah, let's do it all right, new
- 3:18Speaker 1: way to summarize this book. We're going to try something new.
- 3:23Speaker 1: We've got the chapter summary is written on paper in
- 3:26Speaker 1: front of us. I'm just going to read all of them.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It's all very vague because what I was thinking was like,
- 3:32Speaker 1: so we just need the slightest refresher, and then everyone
- 3:34Speaker 1: that's listening is either read along with us or they
- 3:36Speaker 1: have read the whole series, So I would assume you
- 3:39Speaker 1: guys need a refresher more than anyone. Yeah, so I'm
- 3:42Speaker 1: just going to give a quick chapter summary from chapter
- 3:45Speaker 1: one up to oh nineteen, I read twenty.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I stopped that twenty. This guy is usually how.
- 3:56Speaker 1: We do it. This guy doesn't remember how we do that.
- 3:59Speaker 1: That's how we do it, isn't it. Nah, go listen
- 4:01Speaker 1: to some old akatars, mate.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Oh my brand was a bit to be fair after.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just do to nineteen because I can't. Actually,
- 4:12Speaker 1: I wouldn't need to check the summary to remember what
- 4:14Speaker 1: happens in twenty nineteen was boring anyway, nothing was happening. Yeah, okay, ready,
- 4:18Speaker 1: chapter one. We're recapping every chapter of thoughts and theories
- 4:25Speaker 1: to every clond twist. We'll break it.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Down for you.
- 4:31Speaker 1: So this is Selena Peerovy Selena sorry Peovy making her
- 4:36Speaker 1: way to a manor house on a mission for the
- 4:39Speaker 1: king she used to kill Lord Noral. Ends with her
- 4:42Speaker 1: raising her sword above him as he sleeps in bed. Yes, exciting.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Does the chapter end with him also opening his eyes
- 4:48Speaker 1: or some shit? Yeah?
- 4:49Speaker 2: I think then he opened his eyes and then and
- 4:52Speaker 2: then it just like cut Sarah j Mass's fucking back baby.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Chapter two, she presents Neiral's head and the seal
- 5:00Speaker 1: ring to the king, as well as his wife's hand.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Given her next target, who is Archer Finn, someone she
- 5:07Speaker 1: knew from her past. She is told he is part
- 5:09Speaker 1: of a rebel movement. Her and Kal are continuing their
- 5:12Speaker 1: friendship and are closer. We realize that Selena hasn't been
- 5:15Speaker 1: killing her targets and has had them fake their deaths
- 5:18Speaker 1: and flee. Piss me off?
- 5:21Speaker 2: Really yes, why it all comes back to Selenna's non
- 5:26Speaker 2: assassin man pisses me all right?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, we'll finish this, okay. Chapters three, four,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and five are all in one summary, she dreams of
- 5:33Speaker 1: Cain and the Ritterrak. Here's that more and more of
- 5:38Speaker 1: the Alware rebels are being sent to Calucula, which is
- 5:42Speaker 1: another mine. That's really I think it's close to Endovia,
- 5:48Speaker 1: but it's also notoriously worse than Nondovia. Keep in mind,
- 5:52Speaker 1: we meet Lord Roland, which is Dorian's cousin, has been
- 5:55Speaker 1: a point right, who has been a point to the council,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and Selena is spending most nights in Kyle's room, also
- 6:05Speaker 1: just hanging out. She doesn't sleep there. Yeah. In the
- 6:08Speaker 1: Kle's room, she reveals to Kle that Sam was killed
- 6:10Speaker 1: by an air by a man named Rourke Ferren. A
- 6:14Speaker 1: man named Wesley then killed for Ran so Arabin had
- 6:20Speaker 1: him killed. Kale shares that he once liked a girl
- 6:24Speaker 1: called Lethayan, but Roland slept with her. Oh wait that
- 6:28Speaker 1: that chapter when she did that trauma dump and then
- 6:31Speaker 1: he does his little fucking trauma dump where someone slept
- 6:34Speaker 1: with the girly likes.
- 6:35Speaker 2: I was like this guy, he said it, and he's
- 6:38Speaker 2: just like, oh, not comparing, but like this did happen
- 6:40Speaker 2: to me?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's like, oh, I'm not comparing, but
- 6:43Speaker 1: I just think I should share something. It's like, well,
- 6:45Speaker 1: come on, let her have her moment.
- 6:47Speaker 2: You take a live life for sure, alright.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Chapter six, seven and eight, she visits the tomb Elena's tomb,
- 6:56Speaker 1: where the door knocker begins talking to her and she's like,
- 7:00Speaker 1: the fuck And it reveals that his name is Mort
- 7:03Speaker 1: and that there is still evil that needs to be stopped.
- 7:05Speaker 1: She gets Kao to go into town with her so
- 7:07Speaker 1: she can find Archer, hasn't seen him since she was thirteen,
- 7:11Speaker 1: where she convinces him to take her to dinner. Chapter

- 7:27Speaker 1: his honor, and Holand is Dorian's younger brother. Selena goes
- 7:32Speaker 1: to dinner with Archer, tells him the king wants him dead.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Archer tells her of the rebels who are aiming to
- 7:36Speaker 1: get ailin Galathinius. I was mucking that name up and
- 7:41Speaker 1: I was reading it for sure, the lost heir of
- 7:44Speaker 1: Tarasan on the throne. They say she is alive and
- 7:47Speaker 1: building an army and Selena is like she's dead, can't
- 7:51Speaker 1: be true, and Archer's like it's true. Chapter twelve, she
- 7:55Speaker 1: goes to a mask ball with Archer and in a
- 7:59Speaker 1: man named Davis's house, finds a book in his study
- 8:02Speaker 1: filled with wordmarks has a phrase written in it. The
- 8:05Speaker 1: phrase is it is only with the eye that one
- 8:08Speaker 1: can see rightly. Davis catches her and attacks her, cuts
- 8:11Speaker 1: off with a braid blade that is tipped with Gloriella
- 8:14Speaker 1: poison that causes temporary paralysis. She kills him and makes
- 8:18Speaker 1: her way to the castle. She Hey. She makes her
- 8:21Speaker 1: way to the castle and goes to Kale for help.
- 8:23Speaker 1: When she killed that guy, that was the coolest shit
- 8:27Speaker 1: she's done so far, I know.
- 8:29Speaker 2: And she's about it. She's regretting it.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Chapter thirteen lots of Kale and Slena moments that just

- 8:50Speaker 1: hidden door in the library, follows the passage down and

- 8:55Speaker 1: the one element that is immune to magic. Chapter she
- 9:00Speaker 1: goes to the Great Hall to see a famous singer,
- 9:02Speaker 1: Rena Goldsmith, performs. She sings a song about Faye and magic,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and she also dedicates that song to the King and
- 9:08Speaker 1: the Queen. Rena sang the song because the king had
- 9:10Speaker 1: killed her daughter, her sisters, and many others. The King
- 9:14Speaker 1: then beheads the famous singer Rena Goldsmith Oka chapter sixteen.

- 10:03Speaker 1: for his birthday, and Slanna reveals she wants stole an Asterian. Mah,
- 10:09Speaker 1: that's our quick recap.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Lots of fear less predictions to one of the fictional men,
- 10:17Speaker 3: like we always do, gigging up feed.
- 10:22Speaker 2: And streaming again.
- 10:23Speaker 1: This is the Relatables book Club. Let the throw on
- 10:26Speaker 1: the docks begin. Well, all right, where do we want
- 10:29Speaker 1: to start.
- 10:29Speaker 2: I kind of like this now because it's got it's
- 10:31Speaker 2: given us like so much, so much to talk about.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really freed us up. And obviously that was
- 10:37Speaker 1: like a hell of vague. But like by thinking is
- 10:40Speaker 1: that if everyone's read it, then you also know the
- 10:42Speaker 1: little nitty gritty bit exactly what we're talking about.
- 10:45Speaker 2: And when there is like really deep, good scenes that
- 10:48Speaker 2: means so much, we'll definitely revisit them in detail.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so basically she's been doing the king's dirty work,
- 10:55Speaker 1: but she doesn't kill any other people, pissing me off.
- 10:58Speaker 2: JK, you can't be the most toyous assassin, most notorious
- 11:02Speaker 2: assassin of all time, and then you're just letting everyone off.
- 11:06Speaker 1: But it's kind of like cool the way she's doing
- 11:10Speaker 1: it right, Like she could kill them. She gets into
- 11:13Speaker 1: their homes, she could do it, no problem at all.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And then she goes to kill them. They plead or
- 11:19Speaker 1: they fight, and she ends up once again get getting
- 11:24Speaker 1: the better of them. And then she gives them a choice.
- 11:26Speaker 1: She says, king, once you're dead, all right, and I
- 11:29Speaker 1: will kill you, or you won't fake your death. You
- 11:33Speaker 1: can fake your death and flee. Yeah, So then what
- 11:36Speaker 1: she does is she takes like his ring. She's like,
- 11:39Speaker 1: you gotta give me that ring, and then you got
- 11:40Speaker 1: to get out of here, right here, right now. And
- 11:42Speaker 1: then she goes to the nearest like hospital or whatever,
- 11:46Speaker 1: and there's always people dying of just like random little
- 11:49Speaker 1: like flues and stuff that used to be easily cured
- 11:54Speaker 1: when magic was allowed. Might I add? She says that,
- 11:57Speaker 1: And then she goes in and she'll just get a
- 11:59Speaker 1: body cut its head off. And she's like, if like
- 12:02Speaker 1: the king goes, oh, he looks a lot different than before,
- 12:03Speaker 1: she goes, yeah, well he's on my fucking back of
- 12:05Speaker 1: my horse for three weeks, so he's gonna look a
- 12:06Speaker 1: bit different when he's rotted, isn't he Here's his fucking ring,
- 12:08Speaker 1: here's his wife's hand. They're at the bottom of a river.
- 12:10Speaker 1: All right, it's hectic. He's a fucking liar, but exact.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But like, also, the king has just wants these people
- 12:17Speaker 1: dead for no reason other than the fact that they
- 12:19Speaker 1: just don't want him to be king.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Yeah, but also, I'm not a massive fan of Dorian.
- 12:23Speaker 4: But she goes, Okay, I can't be with your Dorian
- 12:26Speaker 4: because I just got to serve my five years, do
- 12:29Speaker 4: my time, do everything right by the king, and then
- 12:31Speaker 4: I'm out next minute.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything.
- 12:35Speaker 1: He says, yeah, no, but she is doing everything for
- 12:40Speaker 1: her freedom. Still no, but if she gets caught, she's dead,
- 12:44Speaker 1: and that's the risk she's taking to give you. But
- 12:46Speaker 1: I would prefer to have sex with Dorian and then
- 12:48Speaker 1: they have that risk rather than But I have a
- 12:50Speaker 1: feeling that her whole thing about not wanting to be
- 12:52Speaker 1: with Dorian was really just like when I don't know,
- 12:55Speaker 1: when a guy says to a girl or something like that,
- 12:57Speaker 1: like oh, you're just too nice. She thought of a
- 13:00Speaker 1: dumb excuse that made some sense at the time. She
- 13:03Speaker 1: just doesn't want to be with him, she just likes
- 13:05Speaker 1: Kale better.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Yeah, we're fine and out. She does like Kale, but
- 13:08Speaker 2: they're boys. Like, it can't happen. It can't, it can't happen.
- 13:11Speaker 1: But I have a feeling that at some point in
- 13:13Speaker 1: the book, Dorian is going to give Kyle his blessing
- 13:16Speaker 1: because obviously Kal's going to figure out how shit the
- 13:18Speaker 1: king is. He's gonna be like, Kale's all about loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Kale is going to be like, man, f that guy.
- 13:26Speaker 1: And then Dorian is gonna be like, yeah, my blessing
- 13:28Speaker 1: to like go with Elena, Sorry Selena, and like, you know,
- 13:30Speaker 1: live your life, and I hope they do.
- 13:32Speaker 2: No, I reckon, I don't reckon it's going to happen
- 13:33Speaker 2: like that.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Hey, I reckon.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Selena will be like, I haven't had sex in like
- 13:37Speaker 2: six years, and then she'll be all like horny and
- 13:38Speaker 2: ship and coming on to Kale, and because all men
- 13:41Speaker 2: are ship, Cal will.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Break and have sex with that. He will will know,
- 13:51Speaker 1: he will. I reckon that that's gonna happen.
- 13:55Speaker 2: But other than that, I'm very much enjoying myself. I'm
- 13:58Speaker 2: having I'm gonna say this looks very fun. There's so
- 14:01Speaker 2: many of this is finally like she did it with Akatar.
- 14:04Speaker 2: There's so many little different avenues of magic relationships. People
- 14:08Speaker 2: we hate, people we like, which is very very super interesting.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I like, how so when she gets so the king,
- 14:16Speaker 1: when she goes back and gives like Norel's head, the
- 14:19Speaker 1: guy she doesn't actually kill, He's like, oh, here's your
- 14:22Speaker 1: next assignment. He says, like, there is a rebellion that
- 14:28Speaker 1: is building in the city to dethrone me. And he
- 14:33Speaker 1: is names there was three names on the first one
- 14:36Speaker 1: Archer Finn, and so she's like, do you do you
- 14:39Speaker 1: want me to kill just him or also all of
- 14:42Speaker 1: his clients because Archer is a fucking from like thirteen
- 14:49Speaker 1: years old, was raised by a pimp that is a woman,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and he is a prostitute and that's how he makes
- 15:00Speaker 1: a living. And he just like goes and just pleases men, women, everyone,
- 15:06Speaker 1: all of all ages. And she used to have a
- 15:08Speaker 1: crush on him. She used to have the biggest crush.
- 15:12Speaker 2: He was the first one to like treat her as
- 15:14Speaker 2: like a woman, I guess at the start.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Yeah, And so she fights, so she like purposely runs
- 15:21Speaker 1: into him. You know, he actually I think he's like
- 15:24Speaker 1: a well off guy, but he's he's not a free
- 15:27Speaker 1: free man. He owes he's like pimp money or something.
- 15:32Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:33Speaker 1: And so she goes and she's like, oh, well, so
- 15:36Speaker 1: he like he literally thinks that they're about to go
- 15:39Speaker 1: sleep together. And then she's like, ah, no, no, mad,
- 15:42Speaker 1: like you know, I actually was. He knows she works
- 15:44Speaker 1: with the King and stuff, and he's and she's like, actually,
- 15:46Speaker 1: the King wants me to kill you, and then he
- 15:48Speaker 1: freaks out. This is the first person from her past
- 15:53Speaker 1: that we've seen, and the mention of him, of her
- 15:56Speaker 1: being told for her job to kill him has him
- 16:00Speaker 1: flipping the fuck out. So then it just proves how
- 16:02Speaker 1: beast she is. Yeah, I guess so, but we also
- 16:04Speaker 1: haven't seen it true. And he's just like please, please, please,
- 16:07Speaker 1: please please. Yeah, he thinks he's about a sleeper though,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and she's like, no, I've been told to kill you.
- 16:11Speaker 2: He's like fuck yeah, And in his defense, he's like,
- 16:13Speaker 2: are you gonna take me to dinner or what?
- 16:15Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 16:16Speaker 2: True? But Archer also knew was a Kyle or Dorian
- 16:22Speaker 2: that was behind Selena at that point.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Archer is like.
- 16:25Speaker 2: I knew something was up like everyone knows who the
- 16:27Speaker 2: King's guard is or whatever.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Mate, Like, yeah, everyone knows the captain of the guard. Yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 1: you don't bringing him out trying to be all mysterious
- 16:33Speaker 1: and idiot. Yeah. I was like, valid, Okay, genuine thoughts
- 16:37Speaker 1: on how in love Kayle is with Elena? With Selena, Sorry, Selene,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I keep saying, Elena, I'm going to go right now
- 16:47Speaker 1: like a six and a half out of ten, Like
- 16:49Speaker 1: you like it? Or do you think that's how in
- 16:50Speaker 1: love with you? Who he is?
- 16:51Speaker 2: That's how in love with her I think he is.
- 16:54Speaker 2: But I think it's going to go towards like an
- 16:56Speaker 2: eight or a nine, and he's going to withhold himself
- 16:59Speaker 2: from her and she's gonna see that he's acting all
- 17:02Speaker 2: sus because of Dorian.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I think it's already like a tenner. Do you reckon?
- 17:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 17:07Speaker 1: He cares about her, bro, He's stressing about her. So
- 17:10Speaker 1: he's like, whenever she goes on a mission, he's always like,
- 17:12Speaker 1: be careful, be careful. And she's like, what the fuck
- 17:13Speaker 1: do you think I am? Klee? Yeah? Do you know
- 17:16Speaker 1: who I am? And he's like yeah, yeah, yeah, but
- 17:19Speaker 1: I care so like I care.
- 17:21Speaker 2: It's what a good friend would do though, well, like.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Friends, he like admits feelings and she like admits feelings
- 17:28Speaker 1: for him, and they just know neither one of them
- 17:29Speaker 1: can actually do anything about it. And then every time
- 17:32Speaker 1: you get a little bit of like Dorian's perspective, it's
- 17:34Speaker 1: just him literally being like mad jealous that she like
- 17:37Speaker 1: gives Calee attention, And I'm like, dude, serious, Like everyone
- 17:41Speaker 1: was coming at me when I was like, Dorian sucks,
- 17:44Speaker 1: but like, oh, to be fair, he's got powers now,
- 17:47Speaker 1: He's got magical powers now, so I feel like he's
- 17:49Speaker 1: going to be a beast now, Dorian, Well, how do
- 17:50Speaker 1: we feel about?
- 17:51Speaker 2: Like Dorian is ben or blunt to Solana throughout all
- 17:54Speaker 2: these chapters. But then also he's like showing a little
- 17:57Speaker 2: bit of good to the conversations of.
- 18:00Speaker 1: His father in like, yeah, he's changing.
- 18:03Speaker 2: He's been a bit two faced, saying what he wants
- 18:05Speaker 2: to hear and then doing what's right. Kind of not
- 18:09Speaker 2: quite yet though, Yeah it's weird.
- 18:12Speaker 1: So look, I think he's gonna come good in my books.
- 18:15Speaker 1: I have a feeling some people probably liked him from
- 18:17Speaker 1: the beginning, but I'm not the biggest fan of him.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Like it's just like she says a good thing to
- 18:21Speaker 1: him once, like you know, oh what, the fucking spoilt
- 18:24Speaker 1: prince didn't get the girl he wanted and now he's
- 18:26Speaker 1: gonna be all pissy about it, like fuck off.
- 18:28Speaker 2: And I was actually like, valid, he did make a
- 18:30Speaker 2: good point though, but he's like, you didn't even give
- 18:32Speaker 2: me a fucking chance to like show show you who
- 18:34Speaker 2: I actually am outside of just fucking the King's son.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's all like thinking that she was using
- 18:39Speaker 1: him just to win the championship. Ye yeah, yeah, and
- 18:41Speaker 1: she's like is that what I was? Like? Fuck dude,
- 18:43Speaker 1: seriously though, like what do you think, Like even if
- 18:47Speaker 1: she did do that, how could you blame her? When
- 18:49Speaker 1: she was literally it was either you know, we be
- 18:54Speaker 1: the King's champion and win or go back to fucking Endovia,
- 18:58Speaker 1: Like genuine, he's a man. He's just a fucking man,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and like I expect nothing better from him, and he's
- 19:05Speaker 1: not gonna give me any better. He's just a man.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I think it really.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Does the pick communicating with the guy you like, though,
- 19:13Speaker 2: like you both just can't come to terms and you
- 19:16Speaker 2: don't really know how each other feel. The only reason
- 19:20Speaker 2: that I really do agree with you in a sense
- 19:22Speaker 2: that he's always going to be a shit man? Is
- 19:23Speaker 2: that Kale said at the end of the last book.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I'm glad I like about time he came to your senses.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Selena like his best mate. His best mate said that, Yeah,
- 19:33Speaker 2: but he wouldn't say that if he was good.
- 19:35Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that was a little bit of
- 19:36Speaker 1: bread crumbing. Yeah, that's fair. And then the magic though
- 19:40Speaker 1: pretty exciting. Yeah, he's got like he's got like frost
- 19:43Speaker 1: magic or some shit, because he talks about having a
- 19:45Speaker 1: nap and then he wakes up freezing and he's like,
- 19:47Speaker 1: what the hell, And then he looks behind him and
- 19:49Speaker 1: he swears he saw like frost on the lounge he
- 19:52Speaker 1: was sleeping on, but then it went away. Yeah, and
- 19:54Speaker 1: so that was his first little bread crumbing of it.
- 19:56Speaker 1: And then Nhemia comes up and is like, so Dorian sorry.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Kale and Selena they're being they're guarding a ball or whatever,
- 20:03Speaker 1: and then they have a break and start dancing, and
- 20:05Speaker 1: Dorian's watching them from a far because he needed to
- 20:07Speaker 1: go get some air, and he's all like once again jealous.
- 20:10Speaker 1: And then he's saying to himself though, like he's he
- 20:12Speaker 1: actually has finally let her go, and so he like
- 20:15Speaker 1: thinks that he's like some fucking gentleman because he let
- 20:19Speaker 1: her go. It's like, what do you mean, like like
- 20:21Speaker 1: it was your choice? Like fuck off anyway, dude, I'm
- 20:23Speaker 1: so so like an a. And then Mahemia comes up
- 20:31Speaker 1: behind him and is talking and this is before he's
- 20:34Speaker 1: like done the punch to the wall, and she's like
- 20:38Speaker 1: those two they like, you know, they make sense. They
- 20:42Speaker 1: deserve each other. Neither one of them could ever ever
- 20:44Speaker 1: be with someone like us, Like they don't deserve that
- 20:48Speaker 1: number one. And they also would never understand what it's like. Yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 1: so he's kind of like, you know what, you're right,
- 20:54Speaker 1: like I have let her go like I have or whatever.
- 20:56Speaker 1: And then that's when she kind of like touches his
- 20:58Speaker 1: chest and is like you've got power within you, boy,
- 21:02Speaker 1: And then he goes and he gets it to fucking
- 21:03Speaker 1: argue with his dad and then he just does a
- 21:05Speaker 1: classic man thing and punches the wall.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yeah, particulate his emotions. That gave me the biggest thing
- 21:11Speaker 2: to air.
- 21:13Speaker 1: It's like you gotta you gotta like somehow figure out
- 21:15Speaker 1: you've got powers somehow. Whatever. She and also Naimia says,
- 21:18Speaker 1: come find me when you find out what you've got.
- 21:20Speaker 2: What is and he like, dorian Nahemia is gonna be
- 21:23Speaker 2: some type of like side story of like she's meant
- 21:26Speaker 2: to be getting hunted or whatever, and she's causing all
- 21:28Speaker 2: the trouble towards the king and whatever.
- 21:30Speaker 1: There's a good prediction that supposed to be like stunning. Yeah,
- 21:37Speaker 1: so we just brushed over in the so Cartaan is
- 21:40Speaker 1: being kept down in the fucking dungeons, right, all, like
- 21:45Speaker 1: yeah for Cartain and she's been down in like three months, right,
- 21:50Speaker 1: And so basically because what Selena is trying to figure
- 21:54Speaker 1: out now is like so she's trying to she's like
- 21:56Speaker 1: walking a pretty dangerous line because she's trying to like
- 21:58Speaker 1: make sure the king doesn't find out what she's doing
- 22:00Speaker 1: by not killing his like ops. And then also at
- 22:03Speaker 1: the same time, she's truck excuse me, figure out like
- 22:07Speaker 1: who would be there's a spy somewhere in the King's council.
- 22:11Speaker 1: And also there's like you know, she's like what is
- 22:15Speaker 1: this rebellion that this talking about? And she's like maybe
- 22:17Speaker 1: Lady Cartain has heard shit from Duke Parrenton. And then
- 22:19Speaker 1: she finds out Duke Parrenton comes down, the guards turn
- 22:21Speaker 1: a blind diety comes down there and like just fucking
- 22:23Speaker 1: you know, sexual assaults her, which is crazy. Why isn't
- 22:26Speaker 1: Slain of going up there and just murdering murdering Parrington?
- 22:28Speaker 1: Right now? Does it reference that he does do that
- 22:31Speaker 1: or does it reference that he just comes down and
- 22:33Speaker 1: just like hits her or something.
- 22:34Speaker 2: When I was I listened to most of these chapters,
- 22:37Speaker 2: I thought it was abusing, not rain. That's what I
- 22:40Speaker 2: thought when I read it. When the bookworm thing says
- 22:43Speaker 2: raping and she's normally curate.
- 22:45Speaker 1: It, I would I would assume se accurate. Maybe actually wait,
- 22:48Speaker 1: now there is like she talks about.
- 22:50Speaker 2: But what Selena does was on her wrist, told Dorian
- 22:54Speaker 2: to go, told Kale to go sort out the king's
- 22:57Speaker 2: guards and like rough him up all like all, like
- 22:59Speaker 2: I think they lost all their positions, the ones who
- 23:01Speaker 2: were turning a blind eye to Duke Parrington. So Kle
- 23:04Speaker 2: has put trusted men on the guard now, yeah, and
- 23:07Speaker 2: stop that from happening.
- 23:08Speaker 1: And like I think giving her food and shit she would, yeah.
- 23:10Speaker 2: And Solana's like what if she can do that to
- 23:13Speaker 2: the princess.
- 23:14Speaker 1: She's a princess doesn't she does she? She stuff like
- 23:17Speaker 1: a very wealthy.
- 23:17Speaker 2: If they can do it to her, imagine what they
- 23:19Speaker 2: can do to anyone else.
- 23:20Speaker 1: I know, like the torture.
- 23:22Speaker 2: I still think Duke Parrington is under the spell of
- 23:24Speaker 2: the King.
- 23:25Speaker 1: You think he's under a spell? Yeah, like I think he's.
- 23:28Speaker 1: He's with him on this. They all have the also,
- 23:30Speaker 1: so the King black ringh Duke Harrington, Black Ring, and
- 23:33Speaker 1: now Roland the fucker black as your.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Fucking Dorian his son doesn't have one. I know, he's like, well,
- 23:39Speaker 2: hoping he's good, but as if he doesn't have one.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Shall we go into predictions?
- 23:43Speaker 2: Ah, not yet, Let's just finish on the witch at
- 23:48Speaker 2: the end.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Random. Oh yeah, she's a real witch and Slain is
- 23:51Speaker 1: like mad togeed of her because there's like a carnival
- 23:52Speaker 1: in town for Holland's return.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's got like do you know how her
- 23:55Speaker 2: teeth were like fish teeth and they were they metal
- 23:59Speaker 2: or iron? Is that to do with the magic? Again,
- 24:01Speaker 2: that they can I think she had iron teeth and
- 24:03Speaker 2: yellow legs. But does that to do with so the
- 24:06Speaker 2: teeth Iron's the only thing that breaks magic?
- 24:09Speaker 1: I don't know. Something to do with that.
- 24:10Speaker 2: But I was like, how's there, How's the king just
- 24:12Speaker 2: letting this random which fucking be around given here's my thing,
- 24:15Speaker 2: palm card readings and that.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Here's my thinking, right, is that I think that rift
- 24:21Speaker 1: told is like like Sydney, Like Sydney, right, imaginive Sydney
- 24:28Speaker 1: just in the center of it just had a like
- 24:30Speaker 1: I'm talking like humongous like massive, massive glass palace. Yeah.
- 24:36Speaker 1: And then like because I was trying to think about like,
- 24:38Speaker 1: I was like, how does the king not have eyes
- 24:40Speaker 1: and ears everywhere? And then I was thinking, like the
- 24:42Speaker 1: scale of it must just be way bigger than we
- 24:44Speaker 1: even can think true. Imagine like imagine Sydney and how
- 24:49Speaker 1: many people are there, and just like there's no technology,
- 24:52Speaker 1: like so stuff can happen under your nose. Yeah, Okay,
- 24:55Speaker 1: I feel.
- 24:56Speaker 3: That lots of fear less predictions one of the fictional men,
- 25:01Speaker 3: like we always do, You're gonna be and streaming again.
- 25:08Speaker 1: This is the Relentables book club. Let the throw and
- 25:11Speaker 1: the docks begin. Okay, predictions. I think that the king
- 25:16Speaker 1: has brought Roland Dorian's cousin from some other little like
- 25:22Speaker 1: city that's like a nothing city because they have no
- 25:24Speaker 1: army or nothing like that. They have like a guard,
- 25:26Speaker 1: but like they're of royal blood, but they just kind
- 25:28Speaker 1: of have this city that's a nothing city. I think
- 25:31Speaker 1: that he's grooming Roland to take over from him and Dorian.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Oh he's going to give He's going to get Roland
- 25:37Speaker 1: to be the king of not Dorian, because he knows
- 25:38Speaker 1: that Dorian is going to undo all of his dirty
- 25:41Speaker 1: work and be a really good king, because yeah, Roland
- 25:46Speaker 1: will keep on doing what the king is doing because
- 25:49Speaker 1: we don't like the king, but he's there for a reason.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Like he's smart. Oh gee, he's got to be a
- 25:52Speaker 1: g Like he sees through shit for sure, and like
- 25:56Speaker 1: he definitely is a magic wielder, like Dorian.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Doesn't have really a scuby do how he feels anything.
- 26:00Speaker 2: He's anything, like just coming to terms that he's got
- 26:02Speaker 2: a frontal lobe and he's trying to figure out how
- 26:03Speaker 2: to use it.
- 26:05Speaker 1: So valid. He's also like nineteen nineteen I think, or
- 26:10Speaker 1: maybe twenty. I don't know, but.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I think my prediction about Selena is Archer's gonna unwind
- 26:17Speaker 2: her plan in a sense of not not on purpose,
- 26:21Speaker 2: but the King's going to find out that she hasn't
- 26:22Speaker 2: been killing anyone from Archer, Like the king will enlist
- 26:26Speaker 2: Rien's cousin to actually go find Archer after it it
- 26:29Speaker 2: tortury and blah blah blah blah. He's going to be like, look,
- 26:31Speaker 2: Selena's da da da dah didn't have all this. And
- 26:35Speaker 2: then Selena's going to be like, yeah, yeah, so what
- 26:37Speaker 2: you fucking didn't do this, You didn't do that, blah
- 26:39Speaker 2: blah blah blah, And that's how she's going to have
- 26:40Speaker 2: a story unwinded.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I actually think I agree with you on that. I
- 26:47Speaker 1: think Archer will because she's given him four weeks to
- 26:49Speaker 1: get out of the city and fake his down. Yeah.
- 26:51Speaker 2: And he's and like his background is like he seems
- 26:55Speaker 2: like although he's nice, he's always going to put himself first.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's true. What was Oh we didn't
- 27:01Speaker 1: more more more more. It's a little door handle on
- 27:04Speaker 1: Elena's tomb that can talk because it's like an old,
- 27:06Speaker 1: old old it's like a skull.
- 27:08Speaker 2: It's just a skull, isn't it.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And apparently and he's just like a bit of a dickhead.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it just has like a mad attitude. And
- 27:14Speaker 1: so there's actually a lot of things we kind of missed.
- 27:17Speaker 2: There's heaps, what's what whigs me out there? You haven't
- 27:20Speaker 2: seen Star Trek no Archer Jonathan Archer of Captain Enterprise.
- 27:24Speaker 2: And he's like good looking to be fair, like, that's
- 27:26Speaker 2: what I'm That's what I'm picturing. And I'm sure a
- 27:28Speaker 2: lot of the batterers have seen that good looking guy.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Oh so I'll show you a picture he actually might
- 27:32Speaker 2: How do you think he looks?
- 27:33Speaker 1: Er? I'm giving so I'm picturing like basically he's like, stop,
- 27:38Speaker 1: super handsome. I'm picturing. There's a certain actor I'm picturing.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I'm going to show you. I'll show you Jonathan Archer.
- 27:46Speaker 1: All right, that's okay. He's like an old so he'd
- 27:53Speaker 1: be old as fuck right now, obviously.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that came out in like the early two thousands.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Let me it was the last Trek TV show.
- 28:02Speaker 1: If it was good and here we go, here we go.
- 28:04Speaker 1: This is who I'm picturing THEO James.
- 28:07Speaker 5: Oh, this guy, Okay, that's he's supposed to be just
- 28:14Speaker 5: supposed to be like, hands down, the most handsome men
- 28:16Speaker 5: you've ever seen, more handsman door.
- 28:17Speaker 2: And more handsome chale may no no, no, oh yeah,
- 28:20Speaker 2: like he he looks.
- 28:21Speaker 1: At you and your pants are on the floor type
- 28:23Speaker 1: of thing. Last prediction is I have others, but I
- 28:28Speaker 1: think I just want to stick with my I still
- 28:30Speaker 1: think that because Selena goes down underneath the library trying
- 28:33Speaker 1: to find a fucking magical weird being that she ran
- 28:37Speaker 1: into in the hallway one night and got super scared of.
- 28:38Speaker 1: So she's going to try and find where that thing
- 28:40Speaker 1: would be hiding. And then she goes down and down
- 28:43Speaker 1: and down and down into these tunnels under the library,
- 28:45Speaker 1: all scary and ship and it's all like very old
- 28:47Speaker 1: and untouched for years and years and years and years,
- 28:49Speaker 1: or else the king would have got rid of it
- 28:50Speaker 1: because it's all like fave magic and shit. And she
- 28:55Speaker 1: finds a door, big iron door, no handle, no lock,
- 28:58Speaker 1: looks underneath it with a with a blade as a mirror,
- 29:02Speaker 1: and she thinks she sees eyes. So I think there's
- 29:04Speaker 1: something under there that's all like gonna unravel to like
- 29:07Speaker 1: that might be really the source of the King's power
- 29:09Speaker 1: or something.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Ooh, that's good, the source of the King's power. Yeah,
- 29:11Speaker 2: I'm still having trouble to wrap my head around the magic.
- 29:15Speaker 2: I guess, like the ambulance is going to play a
- 29:17Speaker 2: magic like a massive role. Sorry, the Ambuline's gonna play
- 29:20Speaker 2: a massive role. And like there was that bit at
- 29:22Speaker 2: the end of chapter nineteen where there was the perfect
- 29:24Speaker 2: spot to put the amulet to like in the door
- 29:26Speaker 2: or something to turn it or whatever.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can tell because I've reach chapter twenty.
- 29:29Speaker 1: They do that and nothing happens. Ah.
- 29:31Speaker 2: I thought that was gonna be like a secret passage
- 29:33Speaker 2: and then she could go between both wells like easily.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Yeah, that's their nothing nothing. It's really annoying. Nothing happens.
- 29:40Speaker 2: I want to predict what power Scelena has. So Dorian's
- 29:43Speaker 2: got like some type of ice or freezing. I think Selene.
- 29:45Speaker 2: I don't think Selene is gonna have any powers. No,
- 29:48Speaker 2: I reckon her bloodline. I reckon she does a oh true.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Wait no, she talks about as a kid using
- 29:52Speaker 1: a little bit of lesser magic.
- 29:54Speaker 2: I reckon it's got something to do with like why
- 29:56Speaker 2: she's such a good as sassion and it has good
- 29:58Speaker 2: eye coordination skills and shit like of nowhere, like from
- 30:01Speaker 2: a young age. I know she's trained real hard and stuff.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Don't want to take it away from her, but I
- 30:04Speaker 2: reckon like she can harness that even more and like
- 30:07Speaker 2: not fly, but like jump like ten times the normal paces.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Someone just yeah, faster than everyone. Blah blah blah, like
- 30:14Speaker 1: a Kale. Also like Kale's pretty quick, keeps up with her. Yeah,
- 30:18Speaker 1: no magic system has really been introduced yet, apart from
- 30:20Speaker 1: the fact that you can do some wild shit with
- 30:22Speaker 1: the ward marks, Like we don't know what the limitations
- 30:25Speaker 1: to the word marks are. We don't know what like
- 30:27Speaker 1: the most basic things you can do are. And then
- 30:29Speaker 1: also Dorian is the first person we've come across it
- 30:31Speaker 1: just has like magic within him. I've got the final prediction.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Actually, as you just said that, so at one point
- 30:36Speaker 2: in those chapters, I can't remember who said it. The
- 30:39Speaker 2: reason the wardmarks is still there is because they outdate
- 30:42Speaker 2: all the magic being ruled as wrong. Yes, yes, right,
- 30:48Speaker 2: So I think something to do with Selena and the
- 30:53Speaker 2: Amulet will unleash and bring back all power when she
- 30:57Speaker 2: does something.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You really think this abate, it's got a lot of
- 31:01Speaker 1: got a protective spell on it. It's going to be
- 31:03Speaker 1: I think it's literally nothing, and she just has a
