- 0:09Speaker 1: swipe as fast as I can.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Welcome to Relatables Baddies Book Club, where we will embark
- 0:14Speaker 2: on a journey reading some of the finest pieces of
- 0:16Speaker 2: literature you have ever laid eyes, or ears, if that's
- 0:19Speaker 2: your preferred way to consume a book, on.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Queen of Shadows, chapters 30 through to 40. Yeah, full transparency.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I read 39. Sorry, yeah, I read to 39. I
- 0:32Speaker 1: didn't read chapter 40. So did I. Oh, great minds.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Look at us, two peas in a pod.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Great fucking minds. Also baddies, 20 chapters next one. 20 chapters.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Yeah, we're back on top of it. So if you're
- 0:46Speaker 3: new around here, Patreon gets the book club five days
- 0:49Speaker 3: early for $ 8.
- 0:49Speaker 1: 99 a month. Sorry, for $ 8. 99 a month.
- 0:52Speaker 3: And you also get the extra episode a week of
- 0:54Speaker 3: the main episode because we love you so much.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But enough of that, Jake. How are you feeling, mate?
- 0:59Speaker 1: I am feeling good.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm feeling good too.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Yeah, feeling good. I like where we ended it at
- 1:04Speaker 1: Chapter 39. I agree.
- 1:06Speaker 3: There's a lot of depth or the sort of storyline
- 1:11Speaker 3: is there's so many.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Little teasers here and there. You're like, oh, this way,
- 1:16Speaker 1: that way, this way, that way. It would make a
- 1:17Speaker 1: great TV show, right? Yeah. I think it would make
- 1:20Speaker 1: a good TV show if... So, it would make a
- 1:24Speaker 1: good TV show if they had an unlimited budget.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. It'd have to be expensive, eh?
- 1:30Speaker 1: So, they could get, like, hectic actors, first of all, right?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Then they could also do, like, hectic CGI. Also, I just...
- 1:40Speaker 1: Here's the thing with me, is I actually... Because I
- 1:45Speaker 1: think for everyone that's read the books... I would actually
- 1:49Speaker 1: appreciate a slow burn type thing. So you know how
- 1:52Speaker 1: throne of glass, no game of Thrones apologies is like
- 1:56Speaker 1: probably one of the best TV shows ever made. Yeah.
- 2:00Speaker 1: So I always wonder, we need to talk to someone.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I wonder if the books as someone who is like
- 2:07Speaker 1: loves reading, I wonder if the books are way better. Ooh,
- 2:11Speaker 1: interesting take.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Uh, I would say so, but then it's, I feel
- 2:15Speaker 3: like it'd be the same as Harry Potter. Like you
- 2:17Speaker 3: can't really compare. It's like talk and cheese. Yeah.
- 2:20Speaker 1: It's just like, I feel like I wouldn't mind if
- 2:23Speaker 1: for some reason they just had so much budget and
- 2:26Speaker 1: they had like 21 hour episodes per season and they
- 2:29Speaker 1: did a season.
- 2:31Speaker 3: It would be, I would love like, I reckon ACOTAR
- 2:33Speaker 3: is more mainstream. Do that with actors and then do
- 2:36Speaker 3: thrown a glass as anime.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I would love an animated series of one of these
- 2:41Speaker 1: fucking things.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Yeah, at least do one of them because Fourth Wing's
- 2:44Speaker 3: already going to be actors with Michael B.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Jordan and shit. Cool, that'd be cool.
- 2:49Speaker 3: But like, I don't know, get some Sarah J. Mass
- 2:51Speaker 3: Effect up in here. Get someone who gets up because
- 2:54Speaker 3: it's like Star Wars, for example. I know it's like
- 2:56Speaker 3: 40 years older than these books, but still there's that
- 2:58Speaker 3: many animated series of that.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I think animated series is the way to go. But wait,
- 3:04Speaker 1: do women like animations and animated series as much as
- 3:08Speaker 1: men like animated series? Yeah, 100%.
- 3:10Speaker 3: I reckon there's a niche out there. Maybe it's, I
- 3:13Speaker 3: don't know, the crossover between women readers that like anime,
- 3:16Speaker 3: but there's definitely a massive women demo who like anime.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Are you talking anime or animated? What's the difference? Well,
- 3:24Speaker 1: animated is like, I don't know, fucking Rick and Morty
- 3:29Speaker 1: is an animated series. Yeah. But anime is like Japanese anime.
- 3:35Speaker 3: I thought it was the same. Does anime just mean
- 3:37Speaker 3: it's Japanese?
- 3:38Speaker 1: I mean, probably, but anime is its own thing. It's
- 3:40Speaker 1: become its own genre of animation.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I thought anime... I'm probably wrong. I thought anime just meant, like,
- 3:47Speaker 3: when there's, like, pals and shit in animated shows.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Like, because you can... Do you know how, like, when
- 3:54Speaker 1: you're a kid... What was it called?
- 3:56Speaker 3: You know when you're a kid and you, like, watch
- 3:57Speaker 3: Stoked and it was animated and they were, like, surfing
- 4:00Speaker 3: and stuff?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:02Speaker 3: I thought that was animated. And then anime was when
- 4:04Speaker 3: there was special powers and it was like.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Like Dragon Ball Z and that.
- 4:10Speaker 3: But is that only because it's Japanese?
- 4:12Speaker 1: Oh, that's so funny. To be full of transparency, I
- 4:18Speaker 1: don't actually know what Dragon Ball Z falls into. I'm
- 4:19Speaker 1: pretty sure it's anime. But no, anime is a Japanese animation. Right.
- 4:26Speaker 1: That's so funny. It's like... What's the poor one called? Hentai.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hentai. Come on, mate. Don't act like you
- 4:34Speaker 1: don't know that. She didn't. But no, so like I
- 4:40Speaker 1: watched that show Attack on Titan and that's anime. Is
- 4:42Speaker 1: it Japanese? Yeah.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Do they have to speak Japanese?
- 4:45Speaker 1: No, you can have Chinese anime. You just said it
- 4:48Speaker 1: has to be Japanese. You know, it can be Japanese, Chinese, Korean.
- 4:52Speaker 1: What about English anime? A lot of them are dubbed English.
- 4:55Speaker 1: What about English anime? I'm sure someone that's English could
- 4:59Speaker 1: make English anime. Yeah. Let's do this series. I believe
- 5:02Speaker 1: it's like the style of drawing and then kind of like, yeah.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And also I believe, but I, for some reason I
- 5:08Speaker 1: have this thing in my head where it's like anime
- 5:10Speaker 1: is Asian.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Oh, well, they definitely created it.
- 5:15Speaker 1: They created it.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Oh, I could understand that. Um, I'm connecting the dots
- 5:19Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm not completely wrong.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Oh, I'll give you points for confidence. I don't know
- 5:25Speaker 1: about that though. Anyway. Um, Look, I hope everyone's enjoying
- 5:31Speaker 1: the episodes the way that we're doing them. And I
- 5:35Speaker 1: would say I'm enjoying them. Oh, I agree. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 3: And thanks for all the comments as well. We are
- 5:39Speaker 3: both reading them and we have a lot of questions
- 5:41Speaker 3: and it's good to go through and get all the answers.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yes.
- 5:46Speaker 3: It's a very good community. You don't give too much away,
- 5:48Speaker 3: which I like. We were going to look up.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Lorcan. Lorcan.
- 5:53Speaker 3: And then the baddies were like, thank God Jake didn't
- 5:55Speaker 3: because I wouldn't have.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Given it away. Exactly. I wonder what happens next.
- 5:59Speaker 3: And then we found out you were struggling to comprehend
- 6:01Speaker 3: that Lorcan is more powerful than Rowan. Rowan's the most
- 6:06Speaker 3: powerful Fae, whereas Lorcan's the most powerful Demi-Fae.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's... Okay. Someone left a comment. It was
- 6:13Speaker 1: really good. And it was... They worded things very specifically.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And they said Lorcan... So, sorry. Rowan, he's the most
- 6:22Speaker 1: powerful full-blooded, like you just said. And then Lorcan is
- 6:27Speaker 1: the most powerful Demi. But if we're going as a
- 6:30Speaker 1: whole in the realm, apparently Lorcan is the most powerful
- 6:36Speaker 1: and Rowan is the most skilled. So there's a difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:42Speaker 3: When you say Demi-Fay or half-blood or whatever, I struggle
- 6:46Speaker 3: to comprehend that anyone could be more powerful than.
- 6:48Speaker 1: A full-blood Fay. Such a valid question. Also, Adion, he's half-Fay.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Is he going to be a beast like Lorcan?
- 6:56Speaker 3: Don't you lose half your powers because you're human and
- 6:58Speaker 3: you're a weakling?
- 6:59Speaker 1: That's a good question, brother. Are you immortal because you're half?
- 7:04Speaker 1: You'd be half. Half Fae, I reckon. I'd be Fae.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Yeah, I reckon. I think
- 7:14Speaker 1: I would probably be an elf. What else could you be?
- 7:21Speaker 3: Was that gargoyle that Solana just found in the So what?
- 7:26Speaker 1: You'd be one of them. So I'm a fucking beast, mate.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Bloody oath I'll be one of them. You're one of
- 7:31Speaker 1: the puppets of the king, mate. That's what you are.
- 7:32Speaker 1: You sound like the king. They're the ones that are
- 7:34Speaker 1: using the king as their fucking puppet. I'll come round
- 7:36Speaker 1: and I'll fucking cut your head off, mate. You stupid thing.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Yeah, you cut my head off last week anyway because
- 7:41Speaker 3: I'm possessed because I was Dorian.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Fucking oath I would. I said it then and I
- 7:44Speaker 1: said it again. You just cut my head off no
- 7:46Speaker 1: matter what. Fucking get you out of my life, mate.
- 7:53Speaker 1: All right. All right. We'll go back. Let's do the
- 7:56Speaker 1: chapter summaries, guys. So chapter 31. We've got a Manon chapter. Manon's...
- 8:03Speaker 1: She's pissed off at the Duke. She's for some reason
- 8:05Speaker 1: they're down in some tent. Anywho. She rips into his tent.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Doing Juki boy. I'm pissed. Why aren't you letting me
- 8:16Speaker 1: go see the yellow legs coven that I'm letting you
- 8:19Speaker 1: put some vogue little nitwit in? Brother. The Duke... Is
- 8:26Speaker 1: there with Kaltain. And then some poor Adalian soldier or
- 8:30Speaker 1: some shit. And he's like, get out! He's all angry.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Rushes at Manon. Manon dodges him. Fuck off, human boy. So,
- 8:42Speaker 1: Kaltain is like, she's not possessed, but she looks possessed
- 8:46Speaker 1: or some shit. I don't know. Anywho, she's like using
- 8:48Speaker 1: this shadow fire on this poor little soldier. And like,
- 8:51Speaker 1: torturing him. And they just like, kind of talk about
- 8:55Speaker 1: what it is. And basically it's a shadow fire. She, it,
- 9:00Speaker 1: it burns without burning, but they feel like they're burning. Um,
- 9:04Speaker 1: the Duke is kind of talking about how it's a
- 9:06Speaker 1: weapon that they're trying to hone in her. And Lady
- 9:10Speaker 1: Caltain has always had it. So I don't know if
- 9:14Speaker 1: like the spell that the King put on the whole continent,
- 9:17Speaker 1: if he can, for some reason, choose specific people to
- 9:19Speaker 1: lift the spell on, maybe that's how she's got her magic.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I don't know, but somehow she has access to.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Was that the reason they're keeping Lady Keltan alive now?
- 9:27Speaker 3: Because they're trying to wield this power.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I guess. They must have for some reason known she
- 9:31Speaker 1: had this in her.
- 9:32Speaker 3: She's still being treated like shit, she is, eh?
- 9:34Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, bro, she's a shell of
- 9:37Speaker 1: a human, eh? Shell of a human. Anywho, they... I
- 9:44Speaker 1: think he says, like... He's like... Yeah, basically, yeah. She
- 9:49Speaker 1: just wants to be able to see the coven, the
- 9:52Speaker 1: yellow-legged coven, and he's like, no, you're not allowed. None
- 9:54Speaker 1: of her 13 are allowed. So he's sus on her,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I reckon, because she's like always defies him and then
- 9:59Speaker 1: he says that her grandmother is building so the matron
- 10:03Speaker 1: black beak is building a weapon for the king what
- 10:11Speaker 1: could it be any takes a.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Weapon for the king i didn't clock anything at the
- 10:16Speaker 3: time um.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Because Madden goes on to say, if all three matrons
- 10:21Speaker 1: of each clan, the blue bloods... No. Is that it?
- 10:23Speaker 1: The blue bloods? The black beaks, the yellow legs, and the...
- 10:27Speaker 1: The blue something. The witch has confused me. I've never
- 10:29Speaker 1: been able to clock a day. It's the blue something. Anyway,
- 10:31Speaker 1: she said if the three matrons put their heads together
- 10:34Speaker 1: to build a weapon, she's like, fuck, with all their knowledge,
- 10:36Speaker 1: I don't even want to know what this thing can do. No,
- 10:41Speaker 1: I've got... Power-wise, it could be like....
- 10:45Speaker 3: The king's already got control.
- 10:48Speaker 3: It's something to do with I don't know Kills full
- 10:51Speaker 3: Full blood of Fae I don't know.
- 10:54Speaker 1: I reckon Also What the fuck Are they preparing for
- 11:00Speaker 1: There's no one Fighting them True What are they preparing
- 11:06Speaker 1: for There's no one The king knows something mate I
- 11:08Speaker 1: don't get it I don't get it Who's coming Dead
- 11:11Speaker 1: set brother Can I spoil something for you That I
- 11:14Speaker 1: spoiled for myself Did you see my video The other
- 11:15Speaker 1: day Maybe Did you watch it all? No. No, it's
- 11:22Speaker 1: the one where I started off by saying, if you
- 11:23Speaker 1: haven't read all Serge MS, don't watch this. No, I
- 11:26Speaker 1: didn't watch it all. I just like him. Okay, good, good, good.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Can I spoil something for you? Because you're not going
- 11:30Speaker 1: to read Crimson City. Yeah, sure. So what got spoiled
- 11:33Speaker 1: for me was a TikTok. I was watching a TikTok
- 11:37Speaker 1: and it was about Asriel and I was swiping across
- 11:39Speaker 1: and it was photos and it was these things saying like,
- 11:40Speaker 1: just a reminder, Asriel was locked in a fucking dungeon
- 11:44Speaker 1: for eight years or whatever. Just a reminder, Asriel's mom
- 11:47Speaker 1: is now alive and well, and he looks after her.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Just a reminder of this, just a reminder of that,
- 11:50Speaker 1: all about Asriel. And then it goes, just a reminder,
- 11:53Speaker 1: Asriel brought a blindfold with him when he saw Bryce.
- 12:00Speaker 1: And I was wigging out and I was like, fuck,
- 12:02Speaker 1: I just spoiled something because the only other Bryce in
- 12:03Speaker 1: the Sarah J. Maas University is one from Crescent City.
- 12:06Speaker 1: So obviously there's pretty major crossover and all the comments
- 12:09Speaker 1: are like, yeah, nah, this is, like people are saying, oh,
- 12:12Speaker 1: this got spoiled for me, this got spoiled for me,
- 12:14Speaker 1: different things. And then people are going, We.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Tried to tell you.
- 12:16Speaker 1: We tried to tell you. Odi's out here saying, oh,
- 12:18Speaker 1: they don't cross over that much, blah, blah, blah. But
- 12:20Speaker 1: they do. Okay.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Okay.
- 12:24Speaker 1: So at least Akita and Crescent City, they'd be fucking
- 12:26Speaker 1: crossing over. And I'll get to it. Okay.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I know. So someone did say prepare to be disappointed.
- 12:33Speaker 1: So maybe it's for like a second.
- 12:35Speaker 3: I'm still no. Like I could admit there's like they connect,
- 12:38Speaker 3: but I said it's not important at all. And that
- 12:40Speaker 3: still seems like it's not important.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Yeah. So we'll find out. Hopefully it's not.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Like, what's Bryce's powers? What's he do?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Oh, no, Bryce is a woman. Bryce Quinlan. And she
- 12:52Speaker 1: didn't have powers, but then she got powers. And so
- 12:56Speaker 1: she is the star-born princess of the Fae, even though
- 13:00Speaker 1: she's half Fae. And she was never recognized as Fae.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Her dad disowned her until she got her powers as
- 13:04Speaker 1: the star-born princess of the Fae. So she has a light.
- 13:07Speaker 1: She has the literal light of a full-on star in
- 13:10Speaker 1: her body that she can use to blind people if
- 13:12Speaker 1: she wants.
- 13:13Speaker 3: So that's why we're... Blindfold.
- 13:15Speaker 1: She, oh yeah, probably. And then, but she also, um,
- 13:20Speaker 1: she has like other, she's also just like fuck off
- 13:22Speaker 1: powerful for another reason that I, if I explain it,
- 13:25Speaker 1: we'll be here for 20 minutes. She has other powers,
- 13:28Speaker 1: but then that's like her main one. Okay.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 13:31Speaker 1: See? That I know of.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I don't think you're missing out on anything. Or on
- 13:36Speaker 3: that point, the scene last week that you forgot to remember.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Hmm. Not remember.
- 13:44Speaker 3: You couldn't remember happened where Selena was getting given shit by.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Who was it? It was like one of Rowan's ex
- 13:51Speaker 1: lovers or some shit. And I was like, well, it
- 13:52Speaker 1: was a hidden chapter. Fuck sakes. Why didn't anyone send
- 13:58Speaker 1: us the hidden chapter?
- 14:00Speaker 3: They sometimes do. But then like we, we get recording
- 14:03Speaker 3: and then it's like the hidden chapter was in chapter
- 14:04Speaker 3: 34 and we're on like 86.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Guys, guys, guys, baddies. Send us all the hidden chapters
- 14:12Speaker 1: of all the series right fucking now.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you said it and I was editing it,
- 14:17Speaker 3: I was like, Jake's memory is really good. He'd probably
- 14:19Speaker 3: remember that.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Dude, I was gaslighting myself into remembering it going, you
- 14:23Speaker 1: know what? No, I do remember. But I don't because
- 14:24Speaker 1: I didn't read it. It was a hidden chapter. I
- 14:28Speaker 1: want to go read it now. Because my initial introduction
- 14:31Speaker 1: to Lorcan is them being like, oh, yeah, remember Lorcan?
- 14:33Speaker 1: And I'm like, who? Yeah. Anyway.
- 14:38Speaker 3: That pisses me off of the series, actually. If it's
- 14:41Speaker 3: a hidden chapter, what's the point of a hidden chapter?
- 14:43Speaker 3: Does it start more conversations around the books? I'm already
- 14:45Speaker 3: fucking reading it.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Give it to me in the book. You know what?
- 14:50Speaker 1: I'm going to make a video about this after raging
- 14:52Speaker 1: on TikTok.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like someone's going to be like, oh,
- 14:54Speaker 3: there's a hidden chapter in Agatha.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, I haven't read that series. I'm
- 14:56Speaker 1: going to read it for the hidden chapter. Like, I'll
- 14:58Speaker 1: start with that. Like, what? And who finds the hidden
- 15:00Speaker 1: chapter first? Where is it? Where was it hidden?
- 15:03Speaker 3: It must be like, maybe it's a way to sell
- 15:05Speaker 3: like premium books or like a certain... publisher has gotten
- 15:10Speaker 3: the rights to this hidden chapter and people buy from
- 15:12Speaker 3: them instead of like whoever.
- 15:15Speaker 1: It's like fucking we always go back to lord of
- 15:17Speaker 1: the rings but they're they're they are a perfect example
- 15:20Speaker 1: how they release them and then they re-release them they
- 15:23Speaker 1: call it extended edition yeah you know what i'm saying
- 15:28Speaker 1: i like those i like the i feel like i
- 15:31Speaker 1: would prefer the extended edition only don't release the other ones.
- 15:36Speaker 3: That's for the novices, I reckon, who don't have time
- 15:38Speaker 3: for a four-hour movie. They only got time for a three-hour.
- 15:41Speaker 1: If you have time for a three-hour movie, you have
- 15:42Speaker 1: time for a fucking four-hour movie, bro. Oh, what was
- 15:44Speaker 1: I going to say, man? I'm full of information today.
- 15:46Speaker 1: It's all coming back to me. Audible.
- 15:49Speaker 3: There's a dramatized audio coming out for Throne of Glass,
- 15:54Speaker 3: the first one.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no. I actually knew that.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Because I went to go back on Audible and I
- 16:00Speaker 3: was just looking through it. And then I wanted to
- 16:02Speaker 3: go back and listen to something on Throne of Glass.
- 16:04Speaker 3: And then I was like dramatized audio. I was like, fuck,
- 16:07Speaker 3: why didn't I listen to that?
- 16:08Speaker 1: But it's pre-order.
- 16:09Speaker 3: When does it come out? I love the dramatized audio
- 16:12Speaker 3: so much more. That's what I think. Maybe that's a
- 16:14Speaker 3: factor why I'm more into ACOTAR. I never thought of that.
- 16:17Speaker 1: They're all dramatized. Yeah. Whereas like these are still good,
- 16:20Speaker 1: but it doesn't have a date when it comes out. Baddies,
- 16:22Speaker 1: drop it.
- 16:23Speaker 3: When's the dramatized audio coming out?
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you very much. I'm listening to dramatized audio
- 16:26Speaker 1: at Crescent City and it's hectic. Anyway, also... also part
- 16:34Speaker 1: of chapter 31, a lead is, um, sleeping for some
- 16:39Speaker 1: reason underneath a Braxos's wing. And, um, she overhears Manon
- 16:44Speaker 1: and Astrid talking and she's shooting her pants. Yeah. All right.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Chapter 32, a lead tries to sneak away and Manon's
- 16:53Speaker 1: kind of like to actually word for word. She goes,
- 16:56Speaker 1: if you had a backbone, you wouldn't have left a Braxos.
- 16:59Speaker 1: And so a lead's like, okay, well, well, well, any who, um,
- 17:03Speaker 1: She goes like, what are you doing here? So what
- 17:08Speaker 1: happened was a lead, she was going to go to
- 17:10Speaker 1: her room, but she like realized as she was walking
- 17:14Speaker 1: there that there was something in there. So she was like,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm not going in there. And then she, for some reason,
- 17:20Speaker 1: found her way going up to where all the wyverns sleep.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And she didn't know where else to go because even
- 17:25Speaker 1: though she said she'll be a witch, the witches haven't
- 17:27Speaker 1: like come to get her or done anything. So she's like, okay,
- 17:30Speaker 1: I'm on my own still, whatevs. So she goes up,
- 17:32Speaker 1: she falls asleep next to Braxos. That's how she got there.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Madden's kind of like, hectic. Well, because you're under my protection,
- 17:39Speaker 1: if your room is not safe, then you can stay
- 17:41Speaker 1: with me. So now she's just sleeping in Madden's room. Okay. Anywho,
- 17:46Speaker 1: she says, but comes at a price. You have to
- 17:48Speaker 1: do something for me. I need you to sneak into
- 17:51Speaker 1: where that yellow-legged coven is birthing a Valk child and
- 17:55Speaker 1: just tell me what's up, brother. Yeah. Hell yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 3: I don't really get the man in the lead sort
- 18:01Speaker 3: of like relationship kind of vibe. I don't really understand
- 18:05Speaker 3: too much like why she's, I understand she's helping because.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Like she's now got witch blood or whatever.
- 18:13Speaker 3: She's one of them.
- 18:13Speaker 1: But like, it's just a weird, weird dynamic to me.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I mean, but I can see how it works. Like,
- 18:20Speaker 1: you know who a lead is obviously like you're understanding that.
- 18:23Speaker 1: How she's a child of Terrison and shit.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well, not fair. It is weird, but I
- 18:28Speaker 1: also think, like, oh, yeah, cool storyline. Yeah, yeah. I'm
- 18:32Speaker 1: starting to like Madden's storyline a bit more. It is also...
- 18:34Speaker 1: It's just the most boring one so far.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Everyone says that, but it gets good, apparently. Like, it's
- 18:39Speaker 3: just one of those times where I feel like this
- 18:41Speaker 3: is just going to add so much depth to what
- 18:43Speaker 3: actually happens somehow.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Yeah. Hopefully she kills the Duke. Oh, that'd be so satisfying. Yeah.
- 18:50Speaker 1: So satisfying. So... Elide, she is learning. She's like, all right, cool.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I'll do it. She figures out, you know, kind of
- 18:58Speaker 1: the rotation of how to get back down into the,
- 19:01Speaker 1: you know, what servants go in there and how she's
- 19:03Speaker 1: going to get down in there. It's really, really well guarded. Anywho, she,
- 19:06Speaker 1: she runs into her uncle one day, she's walking up
- 19:09Speaker 1: and she can hear her uncle's voice and he's talking
- 19:11Speaker 1: to someone and she runs into him in the hallway
- 19:13Speaker 1: and he's kind of like pushing himself onto Kautane. He's
- 19:18Speaker 1: like telling Kautane the things that they can do and
- 19:20Speaker 1: stuff like that. So she goes up and he stops and,
- 19:23Speaker 1: And then she says, Lady Caltain, the Duke sent me
- 19:25Speaker 1: for you. Can you please come with me? And her
- 19:27Speaker 1: uncle's like, bro, what? Who said? No, you didn't. No, no, no, no, no. Anywho,
- 19:32Speaker 1: he reveals that he knows she's a witch. She's like, shit. Anyway,
- 19:40Speaker 1: she says, let Caltain come with me. They walk off
- 19:42Speaker 1: and she's like, yeah, this woman is not human. Even
- 19:48Speaker 1: though she is, I feel so bad for Kaltain now.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. But then Kaltain just kind of walks off.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Doesn't really talk.
- 19:57Speaker 3: She's got to play a big part somehow.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Somehow.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Like massive.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Somehow she's got to play a huge part.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Or if she killed the Duke, that would be even sicker.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Oh, that would be hectic. With the fire?
- 20:09Speaker 3: Yeah, harnesses that power and uses it against him after
- 20:12Speaker 3: she's been abused for so long.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Bro, honestly. That would be hectic. I agree.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Madden helps her harness it to kill him.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Oh, that'd be good. Yeah, I want to know what
- 20:22Speaker 1: ends up driving Madden to switch sides. Because I say that.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I don't actually know if that happens, but I'm just
- 20:29Speaker 1: so sure it's going to happen.
- 20:30Speaker 3: It's got to be the Duke. I reckon the Duke
- 20:32Speaker 3: just becomes controlling or does something sus real bad.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I think that her grandmother plays a part in that.
- 20:42Speaker 1: I think her grandmother... Well.
- 20:43Speaker 3: She's keeping the peace more than Manon.
- 20:45Speaker 1: She's like, we've got to do this for everyone. I
- 20:47Speaker 1: think that her grandmother is going to beat Manon to
- 20:50Speaker 1: near death for, I don't know, maybe questioning her or something.
- 20:56Speaker 1: And then Manon's going to be like, you know what?
- 20:58Speaker 1: I'm done with this. And her and her, all of
- 20:59Speaker 1: her 13 will defect. Yeah. They will defect. Right. Chapter 33.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Adion is doing a bit of training with old road dogs, right?
- 21:14Speaker 1: Doing a bit of sparring, whatever they do here and there.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I don't know what they do over in the Fae world,
- 21:19Speaker 1: but whatever they do. And he's kind of getting his
- 21:23Speaker 1: ass whooped. He's like, fuck, this is a bit hard.
- 21:26Speaker 1: He's still healing too, Adion. Yeah. He's still healing. And
- 21:29Speaker 1: Rowan the fucking beast. So Rowan, he says to Adion, like, bruh,
- 21:35Speaker 1: you talk to my queen the way you spoke to
- 21:37Speaker 1: her last night again and you won't wake up. You
- 21:42Speaker 1: won't wake up the next day, my guy. And Adion's
- 21:45Speaker 1: kind of like, hey, chill, chill. And he's having all these,
- 21:47Speaker 1: you know, dialogue moments of how he's like coming to
- 21:49Speaker 1: terms with the fact of like, I think he always
- 21:51Speaker 1: knew he was part Fae, but I don't think he
- 21:53Speaker 1: knew he was like full half Fae. So his father
- 21:56Speaker 1: is Gavriel, what we learned last week. And so he's
- 22:00Speaker 1: dealing with the fact of that and the fact that
- 22:02Speaker 1: no one told him and the fact that he's most
- 22:04Speaker 1: likely going to be immortal and he'll be his young,
- 22:10Speaker 1: chippy old self and Selene will probably be dead because
- 22:13Speaker 1: she's a human. What if she shifts into Fae form
- 22:17Speaker 1: and if magic's lifted and she shifts into Fae, is
- 22:19Speaker 1: she just Fae?
- 22:22Speaker 3: Can't work like that, surely.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I have a feeling surely she becomes immortal. She's going
- 22:27Speaker 1: to become immortal another way.
- 22:29Speaker 3: I reckon she just turns her fucking.
- 22:31Speaker 1: To a fae. I think she's just immortal when she's
- 22:34Speaker 1: a fae. Think about it. She turns into a fae
- 22:36Speaker 1: and she has everything else they have. Should we just
- 22:39Speaker 1: conclude that everyone's either fae or half fae now? Or
- 22:44Speaker 1: a witch or a half witch? Everyone has something. Everyone
- 22:48Speaker 1: just has something. They've been fucking out here and throwing
- 22:51Speaker 1: a glass. They've just been fucking... Bro. And then Lysandra
- 22:56Speaker 1: comes over to tell Selene or something. And I think
- 23:01Speaker 1: it was about maybe people in wagons by the Valg
- 23:06Speaker 1: getting taken to Morath. She's like, cool. Thanks for the info.
- 23:09Speaker 1: And you know what actually happens is Selene says, oh,
- 23:12Speaker 1: how long until you pay off your debt to Clarice?
- 23:14Speaker 1: And Kauteng goes, well, Every year older that Evangeline gets,
- 23:18Speaker 1: she gets prettier. So Clarice says, well, that's more money
- 23:21Speaker 1: I would have made off her beauty. So she adds
- 23:24Speaker 1: that to the debt. And so she's like, yeah, I
- 23:27Speaker 1: got years, brother, on my debt. I don't know why
- 23:29Speaker 1: I keep saying brother. They're all women. I got years, sister,
- 23:31Speaker 1: on my debt. She's like, I got years. Sister. And
- 23:34Speaker 1: then Aelin, she full says, like, I could bury Clarice
- 23:38Speaker 1: in a grave that no one would ever find if
- 23:40Speaker 1: you want. And Kaltain's like, no, no, no, not yet.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Maybe one day, but not yet. And I was like, fuck, bro.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Jesus.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Chapter 34 and 35, both quite short. Yes. 34 was
- 23:56Speaker 1: kind of just like a nice chapter where Selene is
- 23:58Speaker 1: like taking Rowan around the city. Taking Rowan around the city,
- 24:02Speaker 1: showing him the sights, showing him the city, hiding his
- 24:05Speaker 1: fae ears and shit. Right. They go to the old
- 24:09Speaker 1: theatre that she used to... You ever heard someone called
- 24:12Speaker 1: a theatre? No. I say theater. Who says theater? I've heard,
- 24:18Speaker 1: I've been, I've like watched shows and shit where people
- 24:20Speaker 1: say like, Oh, it's a theater. No, I've never heard
- 24:22Speaker 1: that once. Anywho. Um, yeah, they go to the theater
- 24:28Speaker 1: and it's empty because obviously it's been abandoned and the
- 24:30Speaker 1: King shut it down. But, um, the big piano forte
- 24:33Speaker 1: is still there. So Rowan convinced her to play it.
- 24:35Speaker 1: And then he's like crying and he's like, you gotta
- 24:36Speaker 1: teach me how to do that shit. And she's like,
- 24:37Speaker 1: all right, cool, cool, cool.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Anywho.
- 24:40Speaker 1: They bugger off. Now, next one. Chapter 36. Kael. Kael, Nezrin,
- 24:46Speaker 1: a group of rebels. They go save the people Arobin
- 24:49Speaker 1: was saying he saw getting taken out of the city
- 24:52Speaker 1: by the Valg to go to Morath. They go and
- 24:53Speaker 1: save those people. And he talks about how it was
- 24:56Speaker 1: a bloodbath and they just fucked up a bunch of
- 24:58Speaker 1: the Valg, right? And then they kill them all. They're
- 25:02Speaker 1: all covered in yucky, dirty, black blood. And then he's
- 25:04Speaker 1: talking to Nezrin and he's kind of like... I think
- 25:07Speaker 1: Nezrin's a beast because he goes up to Nezrin and
- 25:09Speaker 1: he's like, oh, Maybe, like, when we get back to
- 25:11Speaker 1: Rift Hold, we can get a drink. Yeah, I agree.
- 25:14Speaker 1: And she's like, fuck off. She's like, fuck.
- 25:19Speaker 3: That's when you know she's good, bud. She's like, I
- 25:21Speaker 3: don't deal with you.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, I told you I'm sorry
- 25:26Speaker 1: about what I said the other day. And she's like, yeah,
- 25:27Speaker 1: I know. I know. And he kind of realizes that, like,
- 25:34Speaker 1: so he realizes that she realizes, I suppose, that I
- 25:38Speaker 1: don't know. He, she just doesn't actually give much of
- 25:41Speaker 1: a fuck about maybe kale or she, cause she just
- 25:45Speaker 1: calls him out on acting like a puny little baby.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You know, someone commented on a video of mine saying,
- 25:50Speaker 1: I will not take any kale slander. He's the most
- 25:52Speaker 1: relatable human being in the whole show. Really? The whole series. Sorry.
- 25:57Speaker 1: The whole series. And I was like, kale.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I don't, I like to, I like to compare myself
- 26:05Speaker 3: to Robert.
- 26:06Speaker 1: I don't know about, I don't know about, anyone else
- 26:09Speaker 1: in the world but let me tell you something right
- 26:11Speaker 1: now if i find out the woman that i am
- 26:14Speaker 1: having sex with and quote-unquote love is can literally turn
- 26:19Speaker 1: into a fae turn into a fairy and then also
- 26:24Speaker 1: have superpowers i'm like that is so fucking cool that's
- 26:30Speaker 1: so sick i i think that's so sick bro i
- 26:33Speaker 1: don't know about everyone else But that's my human, genuine
- 26:37Speaker 1: human reaction to that. Exactly. So, no, he does not
- 26:42Speaker 1: have the most relatable human reaction. Fuck off. Oh, chapter 36.
- 26:49Speaker 1: All right. Oh, right. Yeah. Chapter 36. Selina sneaks out
- 26:59Speaker 1: of her apartment while Adion and Rowan are sleeping. And
- 27:01Speaker 1: she talks about, you know, obviously in a dialogue, she's
- 27:04Speaker 1: got shit to do. So she tracks a vowed commander
- 27:06Speaker 1: into the sewers to go to where one of those
- 27:09Speaker 1: big word hounds is, whatever she calls it. And she
- 27:15Speaker 1: plays this part. So like she's pretending she doesn't know
- 27:19Speaker 1: she's being followed by someone. And she like basically is
- 27:24Speaker 1: tricking the person that's following her into thinking she was
- 27:28Speaker 1: there or that she is there. She's carrying two different
- 27:32Speaker 1: sets of clothes, one woman's set of clothes, one man's
- 27:34Speaker 1: set of clothes. And she's talking about like, oh, you
- 27:36Speaker 1: brought the key here. Why'd you bring the key here? Blah, blah, blah.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Drops the clothes, dashes out of the sewer. And then
- 27:42Speaker 1: she looks down into the sewer. And a few, like
- 27:45Speaker 1: a minute later, she sees the person who she knew
- 27:47Speaker 1: was following her goes over there. And she's walking right
- 27:50Speaker 1: into the trap she laid, which is, there's going to
- 27:53Speaker 1: be the word hound and a bunch of our commanders
- 27:55Speaker 1: or some shit. She goes over. She kind of hears
- 27:58Speaker 1: the slicing of blades and the shouting and shouting, whatever.
- 28:01Speaker 1: So she goes to walk away. She's walking, you know,
- 28:03Speaker 1: she's taking her time. And then next thing you know,
- 28:05Speaker 1: she's fucking face up against a fucking warehouse in the slums.
- 28:10Speaker 1: And it's Lorcan. And he's like, you bitch. You knew
- 28:16Speaker 1: they were going to beat him. Is that how you
- 28:18Speaker 1: picture he sounds? I probably picture him sounding just a
- 28:24Speaker 1: much more arrogant.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a bit in the audio book.
- 28:29Speaker 1: He's more just like. Not proper.
- 28:33Speaker 3: You know when your speech has power behind it? He
- 28:36Speaker 3: believes what he's saying kind of vibes.
- 28:39Speaker 1: So, yeah, he's like, I'll literally kill you right now.
- 28:43Speaker 1: And then she flicks a blade out to his nutsack
- 28:45Speaker 1: and goes, try, because I'll swipe as fast as I can.
- 28:48Speaker 1: And he goes, well, I'm going to kill you. Where
- 28:50Speaker 1: does it go? We've got Rowan, Lorcan, whatever.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Where's Selene on this?
- 28:56Speaker 1: I think at the moment, even in her most powerful form,
- 28:59Speaker 1: I think she's under them. But I have a feeling, surely,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but I think by the end of the series, she's
- 29:03Speaker 1: going to be top, top, top. Has to be.
- 29:05Speaker 3: She's going to be the new favorite.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Yeah, brother. She's going to be top. Yeah, sister. So, yeah,
- 29:14Speaker 1: that happens. And then, so she says, I'll chop your
- 29:18Speaker 1: nuts off and that'll be a big mistake. And so
- 29:21Speaker 1: then he, next thing she knows, he's like 10 paces
- 29:23Speaker 1: back or whatever. And she's like, oh my God. She's
- 29:28Speaker 1: all scratched up and shit. He was actually pretty strong.
- 29:30Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, well, well, but then they're talking and
- 29:34Speaker 1: she goes, well, you're a fool who needs to know
- 29:36Speaker 1: his surroundings better because then Rowan has a blade to
- 29:40Speaker 1: his neck. Not going to lie to you. What happens
- 29:48Speaker 1: after that? I don't remember.
- 29:51Speaker 3: It says in your notes, like, Rowan's... Selena have a
- 29:56Speaker 3: silent conversation by looking at each other.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they full do. They talk about having this
- 30:01Speaker 1: conversation when looking at each other. I can't remember what
- 30:03Speaker 1: they say, but can they talk mind to mind now
- 30:06Speaker 1: or do they talk via facial expressions? I don't know.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Is that like a teaser or does it just make
- 30:12Speaker 3: no sense at all? Or is it like a lover's
- 30:17Speaker 3: look where you're like, you know, when you and your
- 30:19Speaker 3: girlfriend know you want to fuck and you look at
- 30:21Speaker 3: each other and then you don't say anything and you fuck?
- 30:24Speaker 1: They've done it a couple of times though.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Does it mean they're bonded?
- 30:28Speaker 1: I think it's something about, cause she does talk about
- 30:30Speaker 1: how they're soul bonded, they're Karara Nam and, and they
- 30:33Speaker 1: also now have the blood bond, I guess. Yeah. You
- 30:37Speaker 1: know what I mean? Um, but anywho, for some reason,
- 30:42Speaker 1: Lorcan buggers off, can't really think of as to why,
- 30:46Speaker 1: but she says to also, because Lorcan was one of
- 30:48Speaker 1: the ones that whipped Rowan, that Maeve ordered to whip Owen, Rowan.
- 30:53Speaker 1: And she does say like, I'm never going to forget
- 30:55Speaker 1: that you did that. I'm never ever going to forget
- 30:57Speaker 1: that you did that. And like, I'm going to kill
- 30:58Speaker 1: you for it type of thing.
- 31:00Speaker 3: I'm with you that Lorcan and Rowan and Selene team
- 31:03Speaker 3: up though. I reckon there'll be a reason that happened
- 31:04Speaker 3: and Lorcan will explain it to him and they'll be like,
- 31:06Speaker 3: oh my God, I didn't realize that was like fucking
- 31:08Speaker 3: your best friend's dog was like trapped and you.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Had to do that. I mean, I know why it
- 31:13Speaker 1: happened and it's because he was blood oath to Maeve
- 31:16Speaker 1: and what she says goes and she literally like, like
- 31:19Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's like he doesn't have a choice.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Physically has to.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Is that why? I think he doesn't have a choice,
- 31:26Speaker 1: even if he did like Rowan. I'm pretty sure they
- 31:28Speaker 1: don't like each other anyway, but I'm pretty sure what
- 31:30Speaker 1: Maeve says goes when you are bound by blood oath.
- 31:34Speaker 1: I don't think... Oh, can.
- 31:35Speaker 3: You not question it even if you are... So if
- 31:37Speaker 3: Solana went like mad crazy and started doing crazy shit,
- 31:39Speaker 3: then Rowan would have to follow her?
- 31:41Speaker 1: 100%, bro. He can't break his blood oath. Yeah, yeah.
- 31:45Speaker 3: I thought it meant... Oh, even if they go evil,
- 31:47Speaker 3: I thought it just meant like I represent you when
- 31:49Speaker 3: I like... Because you're the best.
- 31:51Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. That's why Rowan's doing it with Selina.
- 31:55Speaker 1: But with Maeve... With Maeve, it was just a lost mess.
- 31:59Speaker 1: And then he did this blood oath to her. And
- 32:02Speaker 1: he said, like, the reason why there was things he
- 32:05Speaker 1: never told Selina and didn't want her to tell him
- 32:09Speaker 1: in Heir of Fire was because when they went to
- 32:11Speaker 1: see Maeve, she said, I order you, Rowan, to tell
- 32:13Speaker 1: me what you know. And he actually genuinely doesn't know.
- 32:18Speaker 1: But he said, if I knew... I would tell her.
- 32:22Speaker 1: He's like, my body would just tell her.
- 32:24Speaker 3: That explains a lot for me.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I still, I don't know.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I think Lorcan's going to, yeah,
- 32:31Speaker 1: she says he's handsome.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Can you, how can you, is there a way to,
- 32:34Speaker 3: do you reckon there's going to be a way to
- 32:35Speaker 3: break a blood oath?
- 32:36Speaker 1: That's why I think that they go to war with
- 32:39Speaker 1: Maeve before they go to war with the king. And
- 32:41Speaker 1: if Maeve dies, Lorcan will be free? Broski, yeah.
- 32:48Speaker 3: It's not like a case of, blood of you die
- 32:50Speaker 3: with your queen or whatever.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I hope not. I hope not.
- 32:54Speaker 1: He sounds like a beast. Um, chapter 37, Dorian chapter.
- 33:00Speaker 1: They're nice and short. The Dorian chapters are about two
- 33:02Speaker 1: pages and it's just him talking about how the vow
- 33:04Speaker 1: demon takes him down to the dungeons. He feels like
- 33:07Speaker 1: he recognizes some people, but he doesn't remember their names. And, um,
- 33:12Speaker 1: the demon, I think is sort of taunting him in
- 33:16Speaker 1: a way. I believe it's taunting him. Yeah.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Ah chapter 38 in my okay so rowan selena and
- 33:28Speaker 4: adion are sitting down having this shitty dinner they scrounge
- 33:31Speaker 4: together with food in the apartment.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I find the thing that i find so weird is
- 33:34Speaker 1: that they're just living in an apartment having this like
- 33:37Speaker 1: wild normal domestic life but then also at the same
- 33:39Speaker 1: time it's like she's the queen of terracin and those
- 33:42Speaker 1: are the two people that are currently in her court
- 33:44Speaker 1: and they're about to try and overthrow the king or
- 33:46Speaker 1: some shit yeah it's.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Like This might make sense to some baddies. I picture
- 33:53Speaker 3: now in Dubrovnik, I went to where Game of Thrones
- 33:55Speaker 3: was filmed in the town.
- 33:57Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 33:58Speaker 3: And what would equate to an apartment to us in
- 34:02Speaker 3: Australia compared to like that is now what I'm picturing.
- 34:05Speaker 1: And it's like not an apartment.
- 34:07Speaker 3: I could use a better word.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Oh, what is it?
- 34:09Speaker 3: It's like it's really a massive castle and then it's
- 34:12Speaker 3: like a big room in a castle. And it's like
- 34:14Speaker 3: one massive castle when you have your own little spot.
- 34:17Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. The warehouse is actually quite big.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Because I'm picturing, when they say warehouse, I'm picturing what
- 34:23Speaker 1: I'm in right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a tin shed. Yeah,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I'm dead set picturing warehouse, tin shed. They're talking about slums.
- 34:29Speaker 1: I'm not picturing stone building. No, but it probably is.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like they should say the stone building
- 34:36Speaker 3: where Selene.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I don't know, say something like that. I'm terrible at
- 34:39Speaker 1: picturing stuff. Terrible at it. Imagination isn't. I picture such
- 34:44Speaker 1: childish things whenever they explain it. Yeah, you're like apartment.
- 34:47Speaker 1: I'm thinking like, fuck, what are you, you got an
- 34:48Speaker 1: apartment on the Gold Coast? Yeah, I'm thinking like, yeah,
- 34:53Speaker 1: I'm fully just thinking random nice ass apartment with just
- 34:56Speaker 1: slums as the view. I'm like, what are you talking about? Anywho,
- 35:01Speaker 1: they're at the apartment having this dinner and Lysandra rocks
- 35:03Speaker 1: up and she sits down. She's kind of like, yeah,
- 35:08Speaker 1: this looks chat, by the way, guys who cooked this anyway.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Rowan then goes, oh, well, do you want to cook
- 35:15Speaker 1: for us? Shifter. or something like that. And then she
- 35:19Speaker 1: steals and Adion and Selena are like, what? And then she,
- 35:25Speaker 1: and then she kind of does something that confirms what
- 35:28Speaker 1: he says. She's like, how'd you know? And he goes, Oh,
- 35:32Speaker 1: I've come across a few shifters and you have the
- 35:35Speaker 1: same scent as them. And then Adion, because he has
- 35:38Speaker 1: half a and he has the good smell is the
- 35:40Speaker 1: good smell. He goes, oh, is that what that smell is?
- 35:43Speaker 1: He knew something was off about Lysandra smell-wise. He just
- 35:46Speaker 1: didn't know what it was. And he goes, oh, is
- 35:48Speaker 1: that what that smell is? And so she goes on
- 35:50Speaker 1: to talk about how she literally is a shapeshifter. She
- 35:52Speaker 1: can shift into anything she wants. She's forgotten what she
- 35:57Speaker 1: looks like now, doesn't she? Like her original form. Yeah,
- 36:00Speaker 1: she goes on to talk about it. So she was
- 36:05Speaker 1: very young when she found out. She... got kicked out
- 36:09Speaker 1: of her house randomly when she accidentally shifted in front
- 36:11Speaker 1: of her mom once. And based off that reaction, she
- 36:14Speaker 1: knew for a fact she just couldn't show anyone she's
- 36:15Speaker 1: a shifter. So then she lived on the streets and
- 36:18Speaker 1: she would either be, you know, she would shift into
- 36:21Speaker 1: a cat, she would shift into a monster, she would
- 36:23Speaker 1: shift into a child, she would shift into like the
- 36:26Speaker 1: most beautiful child that was begging at that time and
- 36:30Speaker 1: it would help her get money easier. And then she
- 36:33Speaker 1: had shifted into a specific person that she saw who
- 36:36Speaker 1: was like a very good looking child, And then that's
- 36:40Speaker 1: when the king's spell got rid of all magic and
- 36:42Speaker 1: she couldn't shift anymore. She was stuck in this body.
- 36:45Speaker 1: And Clarice found her, turned her into what she is.
- 36:49Speaker 1: And she said, like, I wouldn't even know. I have
- 36:51Speaker 1: no idea what my original body even looks like. Yeah.
- 36:55Speaker 3: She was like that for so long.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Yeah. Which is crazy. Yeah. But randomly I was like, cool.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I was like, that's it. That is cool. So she
- 37:06Speaker 1: also says at this dinner, she says, all right, Erebin,
- 37:11Speaker 1: he's going to call in his favor, which is get
- 37:16Speaker 1: me one of the vowed commanders, and also invite you
- 37:19Speaker 1: to dinner. And the next day, there's an invite sent to...
- 37:28Speaker 1: And Lysandra says, you know, be careful, blah, blah, blah.
- 37:30Speaker 1: He's playing in shit, blah, blah, blah. She's like, I
- 37:33Speaker 1: don't know all the games he's playing. And then she
- 37:37Speaker 1: is like, cool. So, the next day, they get a
- 37:41Speaker 1: letter from Erebon, and it's, I would like to invite you, Selena,
- 37:46Speaker 1: and two guests to dinner tonight, and I would also
- 37:50Speaker 1: like to call in that favor you owe me. See
- 37:52Speaker 1: you there, 8 p.m., sharpie-darpie. And she goes, cool, cool, cool. So,
- 37:57Speaker 1: next day, oh, no, that night, Rowan and Selena slip out,
- 38:04Speaker 1: and they catch a Valk commander, This next chapter, 39, yep. Sorry, 39, 39,
- 38:09Speaker 1: they catch a Vowed Commander. And then they actually do
- 38:14Speaker 1: a little bit of questioning of their own for the
- 38:16Speaker 1: Vowed Commander. And he's just wearing a ring, and he
- 38:21Speaker 1: seems to go back and forth between the demon taking
- 38:25Speaker 1: over and the human talking. So they get some different words,
- 38:30Speaker 1: some different answers out of each. So the demon talks
- 38:33Speaker 1: about how, I'm going to burn your world, I'm going
- 38:34Speaker 1: to kill everyone you love, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 38:38Speaker 1: The guy, his name's like Steven, he talks about how
- 38:41Speaker 1: he didn't have a choice to put this ring on.
- 38:42Speaker 1: And she goes, if I take this ring off, will
- 38:45Speaker 1: you be saved? And he's like, oh, I don't know.
- 38:47Speaker 1: But he goes, I chose to put this ring on.
- 38:50Speaker 1: The demon comes back. He goes, yeah, this motherfucker Steven,
- 38:52Speaker 1: this guy likes watching what I do in his body.
- 38:55Speaker 1: He likes it. So I think this Steven guy is
- 38:57Speaker 1: a bad guy, but also he's suffering a bit, whatever.
- 39:00Speaker 1: So she says... I think, what does she, she says,
- 39:04Speaker 1: I don't know how she says it. I don't know
- 39:05Speaker 1: how I get onto this, but she says, is there
- 39:07Speaker 1: any princes? They talk about how powerful the princes are,
- 39:10Speaker 1: the Valk princes. And she says, is there any princes
- 39:13Speaker 1: in the city? And he says, yes. She says, who?
- 39:18Speaker 1: Who is the prince inhabiting? And he says, Dorian. So, yeah,
- 39:26Speaker 1: that's her. So Dorian has been taken over by. a
- 39:30Speaker 1: full-blown princey boy. Which is why he has zero control too. Yeah,
- 39:35Speaker 1: that's why he has zero control and also why he
- 39:37Speaker 1: was hella powerful. She goes, cool, whatever. They go back,
- 39:43Speaker 1: go to sleep. She goes the next day. She sneaks
- 39:48Speaker 1: out again for some reason and Rowan doesn't know where
- 39:50Speaker 1: she went. And I don't even think we know where
- 39:51Speaker 1: she went. Do you remember?
- 39:55Speaker 3: Was it to visit Sam's grave? Or was that after that?
- 39:57Speaker 1: Well, no, because she goes and visits Sam's grave with Rowan.
- 40:01Speaker 1: She goes somewhere and she's got like dirt under her
- 40:03Speaker 1: nails and shit. She looks like she's been digging. I
- 40:06Speaker 1: don't think it ever says where she went. I reckon
- 40:08Speaker 1: it's going to have something to do with something. I
- 40:10Speaker 1: don't know. It'll probably come up in the next chapters.
- 40:12Speaker 1: But So she says to Rowan, I want you to
- 40:15Speaker 1: come with me somewhere today. And they go to Sam's grave.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Poor Adion, by the way. I feel like he's been
- 40:20Speaker 1: just shafted.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Yeah, since Rowan's come around. Yeah, I feel like he's
- 40:24Speaker 3: just been full shafted.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Actually, full bad.
- 40:26Speaker 3: He's almost third wheeling, eh?
- 40:28Speaker 1: Bloody oath he is, bro. Anywho, she goes and she
- 40:31Speaker 1: talks to Sam's grave. Dead set? Sad. Yeah. Dead set?
- 40:36Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. Sad. Sad, sad, sad. Sad, bro. Made
- 40:42Speaker 1: me wish there was more Sam in the books. There's
- 40:46Speaker 1: got to be like, I don't know, something to do
- 40:49Speaker 1: with it more, like.
- 40:49Speaker 3: In more depth.
- 40:50Speaker 1: So sad. So, so, so sad. I can't believe it. Anywho. Basically,
- 40:57Speaker 1: chapter ends with Rowan being like, you plan to kill
- 41:01Speaker 1: Erebon tonight, don't you? She goes, yeah, bro. And that's
- 41:05Speaker 1: where we ended. So I was like, fuck, that quick?
- 41:07Speaker 1: We thought about that, didn't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 41:12Speaker 3: She plans to kill Erebon, but it's got to be
- 41:13Speaker 3: some type of.
- 41:15Speaker 1: He would know.
- 41:16Speaker 3: Double cross somewhere.
- 41:17Speaker 1: He would know.
- 41:18Speaker 3: What?
- 41:19Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he would. So, chapters are done. Still feeling good? Definitely.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Very excited to read. Keen to do 20 chapters and
- 41:27Speaker 1: get a lot of info into us. Okay, thoughts. Does
- 41:32Speaker 1: she kill Erebon or does... I don't think so. Not yet. Nah,
- 41:35Speaker 1: I reckon it's like a play to... I don't know.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Draw some information out of him or someone else. I think.
- 41:45Speaker 1: I think she attempts it. I think she attempts it.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I think she attempts it. True.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Arabin 100% already knows though.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Yeah. Like you said.
- 41:54Speaker 3: I don't know what she's going to come from it.
- 41:57Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys right now. Arabin's using the fucking
- 42:00Speaker 1: word key. I'm telling you. Did you say. Oh no.
- 42:03Speaker 3: The clip we posted today was about Arabin. And everyone
- 42:05Speaker 3: just commented like eye emojis, eye emojis, eye emojis. Which
- 42:08Speaker 3: means I don't reckon he dies, eh?
- 42:10Speaker 1: Well, you said, you said, I don't think he dies
- 42:13Speaker 1: in this book. Yeah, nah. And then you said, I
- 42:15Speaker 1: think it's in the whole series. And I was like, well,
- 42:17Speaker 1: I think that'd be boring. And then they're saying eye emojis.
- 42:21Speaker 1: So could that mean, broski, he dies soon? Or does
- 42:24Speaker 1: that mean, oh, he's right. Like, what does it mean? True.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Your take on like, they need Erebus to fund the
- 42:31Speaker 3: war though, or like fund everything. It makes so much sense.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Like it's got to. It just makes so much sense.
- 42:36Speaker 1: He's got literally, they talk about it multiple times in
- 42:39Speaker 1: the early books. Erebon has the riches of a king.
- 42:44Speaker 1: They say he is as rich as the king. Oh,
- 42:47Speaker 1: do you reckon Lysandra? They, they chain up Erebon.
- 42:51Speaker 3: They don't kill him. Lysandra shapes this into him.
- 42:53Speaker 1: And then they use all his money. She can't shift.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Get out of it. But no, that would have been sick. Oh, I,
- 43:01Speaker 1: I just to be like, I don't know. It's like,
- 43:04Speaker 1: would it be shit riding if you have an attempt
- 43:06Speaker 1: at killing him and he gets away and then....
- 43:11Speaker 3: What's the relationship? How does Erebon feel about Selena right now?
- 43:15Speaker 3: He knows that they're not good, but is he still
- 43:17Speaker 3: trying to get the most out of her? Because he's
- 43:20Speaker 3: in love with her.
- 43:21Speaker 1: But like, I don't, I really don't know what he's
- 43:26Speaker 1: playing at. I really don't know what his bigger end
- 43:29Speaker 1: game is. We know... I don't know. It's like, he just,
- 43:32Speaker 1: he loves control. He loves having that power. He loves
- 43:36Speaker 1: to know everything. He loves to toy with people. He
- 43:39Speaker 1: loves to like, what's his end game.
- 43:46Speaker 3: Does he want to be like fail something?
- 43:47Speaker 1: Does he want, no, I genuinely think I'm so confident.
- 43:52Speaker 1: He's using the word key. So confident.
- 43:56Speaker 3: To what extent though? Like the purpose of it, Just
- 44:00Speaker 3: to be in control.
- 44:00Speaker 1: For the power. Power, the knowledge, the, you know, everything.
- 44:07Speaker 3: And Solana's got to get that power or something somewhere.
- 44:10Speaker 1: What's his end game? And is there, like, we always
- 44:13Speaker 1: miss random little shit, right? And then when people tell
- 44:15Speaker 1: us about it, we go, oh, oh, yeah. Like, there
- 44:18Speaker 1: was so much, there's probably been so much hinting that's
- 44:22Speaker 1: been happening that we haven't noticed. Agreed.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Okay.
- 44:26Speaker 1: And what are we... Predictions of Lorcan. How does he.
- 44:28Speaker 3: Do we lock in he's going to become good?
- 44:36Speaker 1: Yes. He becomes good. No. No. Not this book. Actually,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I don't know. Because like... It's a good question, actually. Yeah.
- 44:50Speaker 1: I'd be happy to say this book. And then maybe
- 44:52Speaker 1: we're wrong. But I could see him coming good this book.
- 44:54Speaker 1: But also, this book, we're 50% of the way through.
- 44:57Speaker 1: That's what my Kindles say, at least.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Kindles don't lie, mate.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Kindles don't fucking lie, broski.
- 45:03Speaker 3: What's with you and these one-liners today?
- 45:07Speaker 1: I have no idea. Broski, bro, brother, sister. Anywho. Okay.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Erebin doesn't die yet, but this is too difficult. I
- 45:22Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, bro. I also don't even know.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I'm a little unsure of whether or not there's even
- 45:27Speaker 1: going to be a war between Zelena and Queen Maeve.
- 45:30Speaker 1: The only thing I think, the only reason is because
- 45:33Speaker 1: it's been hinted and because, so she says to Adion, look,
- 45:37Speaker 1: this is like ages ago when he finds out that
- 45:39Speaker 1: Gavriel's his dad, she goes, look, this doesn't leave this room, obviously.
- 45:45Speaker 1: And he's like, what if Gavriel finds me? Blah, blah, blah.
- 45:47Speaker 1: She goes, look, don't really feel like going to war
- 45:51Speaker 1: with Queen Maeve at the moment. And then he, he says,
- 45:53Speaker 1: And I know she would. I know that she would
- 45:56Speaker 1: do that if she had to. Yeah. So I think
- 46:01Speaker 1: what's going to happen is Gavriel finds out about his son.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Maeve finds out about it. Then Adion, potentially captured by Lorcan,
- 46:15Speaker 1: taken back to Maeve. Yeah, this guy just gets captured,
- 46:19Speaker 1: taken back to Maeve. And she wants to meet Gavriel's
- 46:23Speaker 1: son and she wants to have all the old dominion
- 46:26Speaker 1: over the Fae or some shit anyway. I don't know.
- 46:29Speaker 1: And then Selene and Rowan go back and get him.
- 46:33Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 46:34Speaker 3: I don't know if he'll get captured, but Aideen and
- 46:36Speaker 3: Lorcan will have like a chapter or something and there'll
- 46:39Speaker 3: be some sort of connection to Gavriel, obviously. Maybe Lorcan, like,
- 46:46Speaker 3: does he betray his blood oath?
- 46:48Speaker 1: Oi, Lorcan. is about to kill Adion. Yeah, yeah. Gavriel
- 46:54Speaker 1: swoops in, defends him. Maybe. True. I don't know.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Because maybe Gavriel and Lorcan almost have a connection somehow.
- 47:09Speaker 3: And Adion's the way to... to get Lorcan good somehow.
- 47:13Speaker 1: He's the connection. Cause you're right.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Lorcan's, I mean, not Lorcan. Aideon's had like nothing to
- 47:17Speaker 3: do since he came back and Rowan's been in town.
- 47:18Speaker 3: Like I feel like that's, that's on purpose. Like he's
- 47:20Speaker 3: going to have something cool and play a part.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Surely Aideon's beast.
- 47:25Speaker 3: I also, I can call, um, Kayle and Dorian will
- 47:28Speaker 3: have a one-on-one conversation and Kayle will get through to him.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Cause they're lovers. Not just cause they're boys. They're lovers.
- 47:38Speaker 1: Just cause they're boys. Cause no one else believes in
- 47:40Speaker 1: Dorian except for Kayle. Everyone's giving up on him. I
- 47:44Speaker 1: think that the redemption we get, I think Kael's redemption
- 47:47Speaker 1: in this book is that there's an attempt at freeing
- 47:51Speaker 1: magic and they can't do it, so he does it. Yeah. Well,
- 47:54Speaker 1: do you reckon? Shit. So Dorian's powers freeze, like frozen shit.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Dorian's power is raw power. He can do what he wants.
- 48:05Speaker 1: I wonder if it has something to do with the
- 48:07Speaker 1: fire shadow wielding.
- 48:09Speaker 3: Is that how he breaks through? somehow and he wields
- 48:13Speaker 3: that because that's like that was kind of weird how
- 48:16Speaker 3: they just mentioned that with Lysandra like what's that to
- 48:17Speaker 3: do with anything.
- 48:21Speaker 1: It's a good question but there's a lot of this
- 48:26Speaker 1: one with Kaltain not Lysandra.
- 48:28Speaker 3: Sorry yes Kaltain Lady Kaltain this is hard to predict
- 48:32Speaker 3: yeah hard one because there's like 8 story 10 storylines
- 48:35Speaker 3: that's actually such a valid point there's so many storylines
- 48:38Speaker 3: alright I reckon here's where we're going.
- 48:40Speaker 1: To end it on We will be doing chapters 40
- 48:47Speaker 1: to 60 next episode. Another thing I want to say
- 48:54Speaker 1: is you'll be getting it five days early if you're
- 48:57Speaker 1: on Patreon. Sign up to Patreon, $ 8. 99 a month. You'll
- 49:01Speaker 1: also be getting other episodes. All the episodes are ad-free
- 49:03Speaker 1: over there. You get extra episodes on Thursdays and obviously
- 49:07Speaker 1: the book club five days early. We'll see you over there.
- 49:11Speaker 3: And if you've made it this far, YouTube, the book
- 49:13Speaker 3: club goes hard. So be sure to hype, like, subscribe.
- 49:16Speaker 3: We're going for 50K subscribers. No time limit. That's driven
- 49:20Speaker 3: by the baddies book club one of these did like
- 49:22Speaker 3: 10 or 11k the other day which is big for
- 49:24Speaker 3: the book club that's fucking sick I reckon it's because
- 49:25Speaker 3: we did a whole book keep up the hype tell
- 49:27Speaker 3: a friend yeah we did maybe that's what we should
- 49:29Speaker 3: do build a hype we don't we drop off the
- 49:30Speaker 3: face of the earth for a month with a book
- 49:32Speaker 3: club that is would hate that and then drop a
- 49:35Speaker 3: whole book yeah just drop a whole book yeah It's
- 49:39Speaker 3: a good idea. We've built hype because now when we
- 49:42Speaker 3: do it week on week, people got lives and shit.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Yeah. What can we do here? They're going to hate this.
- 49:47Speaker 1: So there's a book club once a month, but every
- 49:49Speaker 1: Friday there is book club episode. But what could they
- 49:50Speaker 1: even be about? Oh, here's a new take.
- 49:53Speaker 3: Oh, this could be crazy.
- 49:54Speaker 1: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- 49:56Speaker 3: Each week we put the book club out on Patreon
- 49:59Speaker 3: and it's nowhere else. And once a month we release
- 50:01Speaker 3: the whole thing.
- 50:03Speaker 1: On YouTube? Yeah, on YouTube.
- 50:05Speaker 3: So the hype's there for YouTube. And then if you
- 50:07Speaker 3: really want it each week because we're a part of
- 50:08Speaker 3: your routine, it's on Patreon 899 a month. Shit, I'm sorry, baddies.
- 50:12Speaker 3: It just came to me.
- 50:13Speaker 1: It's not the worst idea you've ever had. It's actually
- 50:15Speaker 1: probably up there with one of the best. Fuck. Yeah,
- 50:18Speaker 1: I'm an ideas man. All right, baddies. Thank you for listening.
- 50:22Speaker 1: We love you. Stay bad.
