1:07
Speaker 1: on the long weekend, mate. Fucking oath I did, bro. Yeah.
1:13
Speaker 1: That's what I like to hear. Me and Luke are

Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:21
Speaker 1: Fire out. Invite your dog. You're not here. Yeah, you fucking...

Speaker 1: I'm there on Monday, you dog. Could have waited. Don't worry, mate.
1:29
Speaker 1: I'll tee it up. I'll say, mate, you got to
1:31
Speaker 1: come to Goldie on Monday. Wait.
1:33
Speaker 3: I'm going to Brisbane on Tuesday night.
1:36
Speaker 1: We could have had a sleepover at Luke's, you dog.
1:39
Speaker 1: You can. Yeah, I can. You actually can. I'm going
1:43
Speaker 1: to invite myself over to his. Can I have a
1:45
Speaker 1: sleepover at your house, please? Anywho, we got chapter 12. So,
1:54
Speaker 1: I'm just going to forget. All right, baddies. Chapter 12. Aelin, Adion,
2:00
Speaker 1: and Lysandra, they arrive at this place called Ilium, which
2:02
Speaker 1: is where that temple is that the little people, the
2:04
Speaker 1: little folk of the forest sent them. Yep. Right? And so,
2:08
Speaker 1: she actually, for some reason, is like not telling Adion
2:10
Speaker 1: and Lysandra why they're going there, but whatever. So, they
2:13
Speaker 1: go there and they see Adelanian troops that are commanded
2:19
Speaker 1: by Roland, Havillard's father. And they have gone to this town,
2:26
Speaker 1: which is a town in Tarrasin, but it's obviously currently
2:28
Speaker 1: occupied by Adelanian troops. And they are using the temple,
2:31
Speaker 1: which is the first stone that Brandon stepped foot on,
2:35
Speaker 1: on this continent. That's why it's sacred. And that's Brandon's temple, right?
2:40
Speaker 1: They're using the temple as their fucking barracks. So they're
2:44
Speaker 1: like pissed. Anywho, they, um, Ilium is explained as this
2:53
Speaker 1: place that was once the stronghold of the Mycenaeans. Mycenaeans? Mycenaeans, yeah.
3:00
Speaker 1: And so they're crime lords who used to ride on
3:04
Speaker 1: these sea dragons and they helped win one of the
3:08
Speaker 1: wars at some point in time. And there was this
3:11
Speaker 1: legend that states that when the sea dragons come back,
3:14
Speaker 1: the Mycenaeans will come back or some shit. So obviously
3:16
Speaker 1: that's going to happen because it was... That's fucking sick.
3:20
Speaker 1: It was foreshadowed. I think that's pretty sick too. Yeah.
3:22
Speaker 1: I actually really liked that. Um, so that's cool. And
3:26
Speaker 1: the Mycenaeans can take on the wyverns like the dragon,
3:28
Speaker 1: the sea dragons can surely take on the wyverns. A
3:31
Speaker 1: hundred percent.
3:31
Speaker 2: Okay.
3:31
Speaker 1: That's pretty fun. I got to admit. Um, so, oh, sorry.
3:37
Speaker 1: They were, yeah, they helped a King win a war,
3:39
Speaker 1: but then the Mycenaeans were exiled for refusing to come
3:41
Speaker 1: to terrorism's aid. Ah, that's why. Now we get a
3:45
Speaker 1: mention of this thing called the King's flame and it's
3:47
Speaker 1: a blossom that that bloomed during Orland's reign, but hasn't
3:52
Speaker 1: bloomed since. Calling it now, Kingdom of Ash is probably
3:56
Speaker 1: going to end with this fucking flower blooming. Ah, shit. So,
4:02
Speaker 1: that's a prediction from the reviews of a bookworm. Shit.
4:09
Speaker 1: I wonder if she's right. Potentially, hey. Anyway. That's cool.
4:17
Speaker 1: That is cool. That's cool. So she's had a little
4:19
Speaker 1: fucking thing. Because at this point, she hasn't read Kingdom
4:21
Speaker 1: of Ash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting. That's really cool. Anyway,
4:24
Speaker 1: chapter 13. We have a Rowan and Dorian chapter and
4:30
Speaker 1: they're out on the open ocean. They've stolen another boat,
4:32
Speaker 1: like a bigger one. This is where it happens. Yeah.
4:34
Speaker 1: And so they're chitty chatting and like, Rowan, this guy
4:38
Speaker 1: hasn't slept for like days and days and days. Anyway,
4:41
Speaker 1: they stole some food. They did this. They did that.
4:43
Speaker 1: Dorian's like saying, you know, I should have stayed there.
4:45
Speaker 1: I should have stayed. And then Rowan says, you know,
4:47
Speaker 1: you're not used to your people dead. He goes, yeah,
4:50
Speaker 1: I know, but I should have stayed and helped. He's like, yeah, look, blah, blah, blah.
4:53
Speaker 1: They have a bit of a back and forth. And
4:55
Speaker 1: then Dorian talks about losing Saoirse. And then Rowan opens
5:00
Speaker 1: up about losing his mate. And then Dorian says, can
5:03
Speaker 1: you help me with my magic? And Rowan says, I
5:07
Speaker 1: can help you, you know, to the best of my ability,
5:10
Speaker 1: but your magic is, is a raw form of magic.
5:14
Speaker 1: We need to find someone that has mastered that to
5:17
Speaker 1: help you. Or someone that knows about it. Who knows
5:21
Speaker 1: about the raw magic. Do we know anyone who has
5:24
Speaker 1: raw magic, Avandorin? I don't think so. That's the obvious thing.
5:28
Speaker 3: Surely there's going to be a cool character that.
5:30
Speaker 1: Comes in with raw magic.
5:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:32
Speaker 1: You know who I think is going to find him?
5:36
Speaker 2: Who?
5:36
Speaker 1: Kael in the next book. Oh, yes.
5:41
Speaker 3: I forgot that's his whole other storyline.
5:43
Speaker 1: That's so going to happen, hey? On his little journey.
5:46
Speaker 3: The only other thing I could think of is Lorcan's
5:48
Speaker 3: power transcends and it's sort of similar to Dorian's because
5:51
Speaker 3: it's unknown.
5:52
Speaker 1: Actually, that's a really good point. It's unknown, maybe a
5:54
Speaker 1: bit more of a raw form of magic, like kind
5:56
Speaker 1: of similar, not really. Like Dorian's can come through in...
5:58
Speaker 1: That'd be sick if they became... Lorcan betrays Maven, becomes
6:02
Speaker 1: Dorian's boy. Bro! Imagine that. Imagine Lorcan betrays Maven, becomes
6:07
Speaker 1: part of fucking Dorian's court. Yeah. So then Dorian has
6:11
Speaker 1: a sick fey warrior and so does Aelin. Yes. Let's go.
6:15
Speaker 1: That would be cool. That's a cool prediction, Odi. Right.
6:18
Speaker 1: So yeah, he says, I'll help train you, broski. I'll help.
6:21
Speaker 1: I'll do my best. All right. Chapter 14. We've been,
6:27
Speaker 1: so Aelin and Adion, they, oh, shit. Oh, no, cool.
6:36
Speaker 1: So we get, We get a word from a messenger
6:39
Speaker 1: that Aelin and Adion, so they've been sending out letters
6:41
Speaker 1: to Wendelin asking for aid. But word comes back that
6:44
Speaker 1: there is 50. Is it 50? Yeah, there's 50 Fae
6:49
Speaker 1: warships that have been spotted on the western coast of
6:53
Speaker 1: the Fae territory. And so, they're thinking, shit, Maeve is
6:56
Speaker 1: sending 50 fucking Fae warships over here. Is it going here?
6:59
Speaker 1: Are they going to a different war? Like, do they
7:01
Speaker 1: have their own wars going on?
7:02
Speaker 3: I wish my brain could comprehend that more. Like, because
7:05
Speaker 3: that's so many. But I'm just thinking, like, I can't
7:07
Speaker 3: even comprehend it in my brain.
7:08
Speaker 1: Nah, neither. I'm just thinking of a few. I just
7:11
Speaker 1: think of, like, a few. Yeah, so I'm thinking of, like,
7:13
Speaker 1: a few boats rocking off. Anywho, cool. Now, here we go.
7:20
Speaker 1: This is where Aelin, Lysandra, and Adion, they... take the
7:25
Speaker 1: temple back. They make a move. I don't know what
7:28
Speaker 1: signal they were waiting for, but anyway, Aelin jumps down,
7:30
Speaker 1: Adion jumps down, Lysandra jumps down. They do some beast shit.
7:35
Speaker 1: They use their magic. Lysandra turns into a fucking, you know,
7:38
Speaker 1: the ghost leopard. And then Adion also gets to 1v1
7:41
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. And all the commanders that are there,
7:44
Speaker 1: some of them seem Valg, some of them seem not Valg.
7:47
Speaker 1: She uses her magic. She scares a bunch of them away,
7:49
Speaker 1: but then they're still kind of like, ah, here we go,
7:51
Speaker 1: the fire bitch queen. And it's like, still get more creative.
7:53
Speaker 1: That's not a very bad, like a very good insult.
7:56
Speaker 3: I think all it was was Aelin just had to like,
7:59
Speaker 3: distract him for like five minutes. So they could go
8:02
Speaker 3: around the back and like start killing him.
8:04
Speaker 1: Pumps him. Yeah. She pumps him. They're Valk as well.
8:08
Speaker 1: Like pumps him. And then they get the fucking temple back. Right.
8:13
Speaker 1: So they get the temple back. Chapter 15. And, She's
8:17
Speaker 1: sitting there, legs over there. She's looking at the view.
8:20
Speaker 1: She's thinking she's listening to the ocean. And then Brandon's
8:24
Speaker 1: ghost appears. And she's talking to Brandon's ghost. Crazy. I
8:30
Speaker 1: don't know. Hard to comprehend, eh? So hard to comprehend, bro.
8:34
Speaker 1: And so what happens is she's like asking him questions.
8:42
Speaker 1: She says, can I kill Maeve? Is it possible? Brandon
8:46
Speaker 1: says he doesn't know. her magic is like also a
8:49
Speaker 1: very unknown thing. And she is very, very powerful. Like
8:51
Speaker 1: you need to remember Maeve was alive when Brandon was alive.
8:55
Speaker 1: Maeve is alive when Erewhon and the other Kings first
8:57
Speaker 1: set foot on the territory. Like Maeve is the oldest
9:01
Speaker 1: of old, right? She can play the longest of long games.
9:04
Speaker 1: Like she can wait a hundred years to make a move.
9:07
Speaker 1: She doesn't care. You know, she is fucking powerful. She
9:11
Speaker 1: is old. And then, She's, Aelin's kind of like, all right, look,
9:15
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and let you give
9:16
Speaker 1: me any riddles. Like, just tell me what the fuck
9:18
Speaker 1: you came to tell me. I don't want to fuck around.
9:21
Speaker 1: He goes, he's like, I don't have long. I don't
9:23
Speaker 1: have long. And I'm like, this is so annoying. He goes,
9:29
Speaker 1: Brandon says, the lock is hidden in a sunken city
9:33
Speaker 1: in the stone marshes and it is needed to bind
9:36
Speaker 1: the keys back into the broken word gate. Aelin goes,
9:42
Speaker 1: what marshes? They're huge, bro. They're huge. Yeah. And then
9:48
Speaker 1: he disappears, of course. For fuck's sakes. Had to be
9:52
Speaker 1: like that, didn't it? For fuck's sakes, bro. I know. Anyway.
9:55
Speaker 1: They're very easy. Now, something happens. We have a Valg
10:04
Speaker 1: show up, right? And it's a very short, stout, ugly man,
10:09
Speaker 1: she wanted to point out. Then what we discover is
10:14
Speaker 1: that Erewhon himself is somehow controlling this Valg from back
10:19
Speaker 1: at Morath. And he has a conversation with Aelin, right?
10:24
Speaker 1: And basically Erewhon knows who she is, who she was.
10:31
Speaker 1: She tries to attack him, but she can't like get
10:35
Speaker 1: her power. She can't touch him. It's really very effective
10:37
Speaker 1: and it makes her vomit. And what she realizes is
10:40
Speaker 1: that this guy is fucking got a heart of iron
10:44
Speaker 1: because what Erewhon does is opens up this guy's chest.
10:48
Speaker 1: looks at them through eyes coming out of this guy's
10:50
Speaker 1: chest and there's nothing inside him. No organs, no nothing. Right.
10:55
Speaker 1: This is a zombie. Yeah. So she goes again and, um,
11:01
Speaker 1: it's the, Oh, it's no, the heart is made of
11:03
Speaker 1: word stone. Sorry. So she, she goes at him again.
11:07
Speaker 1: She ends up actually having to really, she, she, she
11:11
Speaker 1: does kill this guy. She doesn't kill Erewhon. while it's happening,
11:14
Speaker 1: you know, Erewhon does get some power that hits her
11:16
Speaker 1: and it really hurts her like real bad. And it's like,
11:19
Speaker 1: she's like, fuck, if he can hurt me that bad
11:21
Speaker 1: from that far away, possessing some other lesser beings body,
11:24
Speaker 1: like bro. And she also really thinks like the only
11:28
Speaker 1: reason she even did kill that Valg, sorry, that, that
11:31
Speaker 1: body was cause Erewhon let her, you know? So anyway,
11:37
Speaker 1: he also says that, um, so Erewhon, before she kills
11:42
Speaker 1: the body, like destroys the body. He says that he
11:46
Speaker 1: knows that Rowan has Dorian and that he has men
11:49
Speaker 1: tracking them and that he is going to hurt them.
11:51
Speaker 1: And he also says, I'm going to make Rowan one
11:54
Speaker 1: of my first commanders and I'm going to turn him.
12:00
Speaker 1: That would be fucked. I'd be pissed. Do you reckon
12:02
Speaker 1: that happens? I hope not. I fucking hope not, bro.
12:06
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that right now. Chapter 17, back
12:10
Speaker 1: to Manon. We got left in a fucking cliffhanger with,
12:12
Speaker 1: we got told, Astrid's dying, bro. These were sick, eh?
12:17
Speaker 1: Manon is now my new favorite character. Yeah, I think
12:20
Speaker 1: so too. Manon is my favorite character. She's got the
12:23
Speaker 1: sickest character development, bro. Okay. So, Manon hasn't slept all night, right?
12:32
Speaker 1: Chapter 17, by the way. Manon hasn't slept all night
12:35
Speaker 1: and she plans to make the words of request, meaning...
12:37
Speaker 1: that she will be the one to execute Asterin. Right?
12:41
Speaker 1: It is her right to request that. And so, if
12:45
Speaker 1: she doesn't do that, the way Asterin would have died
12:48
Speaker 1: would have been very brutal and very painful. But, Manon
12:53
Speaker 1: making the words of request means she gets to do
12:55
Speaker 1: it and she will just behead her and it will
12:57
Speaker 1: be a clean, painless death. So... Yeah, so she doesn't suffer. Now...
13:09
Speaker 1: Some other things. All right. Anyway, whatever. She talks to
13:13
Speaker 1: her third in line and like gets a bit guilt tripped,
13:16
Speaker 1: but cool. So it's dawn. They go out and they've
13:20
Speaker 1: got Astrin's there. She noticed that Astrin had been beaten.
13:25
Speaker 1: So last night she was in the dungeons and they
13:28
Speaker 1: let the yellow legs go and have a few, you know,
13:31
Speaker 1: have a few licks at her. A few rounds. So
13:34
Speaker 1: we've got obviously Madden's grandmother, Astrin. fucking on her knees.
13:40
Speaker 1: We have the two other covens, like the two other matrons, sorry.
13:44
Speaker 1: And then they also have like their, there's like, there's
13:46
Speaker 1: a lot of witches out there basically. They're all come
13:48
Speaker 1: to watch this. Also, Manon's 13 is there. Soon to
13:53
Speaker 1: be 12. Yeah. And so I'm, I'm not going to lie.
13:56
Speaker 1: I'm reading this and I'm thinking this is happening. Like
13:59
Speaker 1: this is happening.
14:00
Speaker 3: I thought it was happening too, but then I was also,
14:02
Speaker 3: there was so many tiny little things that were switching
14:05
Speaker 3: Manon and like, kind of like showing her that what
14:09
Speaker 3: she's doing is wrong.
14:10
Speaker 1: She's having these things, these thoughts of like, so number one,
14:13
Speaker 1: there's things that are happening, right? So she's having these
14:17
Speaker 1: inner monologue moments of like, all Astrid has to do
14:19
Speaker 1: to get out of this is just tell the truth
14:20
Speaker 1: and say that Manon killed the witch. Yeah. But like,
14:24
Speaker 1: she's keeping her mouth shut for Manon. So is her
14:27
Speaker 1: whole 13. So she's like, what did I do to
14:30
Speaker 1: deserve this loyalty? Then she's thinking of Manon's wyvern, That's
14:36
Speaker 1: just sitting up in its fucking nest or wherever they go.
14:39
Speaker 1: And it's just never going to see Astrin again. Just thinking,
14:42
Speaker 1: what are we going to do? Are we going to
14:44
Speaker 1: keep it? Are we going to fucking take care of it?
14:46
Speaker 1: What are we going to do? It's going to be depressed.
14:47
Speaker 1: It's going to want to die. And then she thinks
14:51
Speaker 1: about obviously her grandmother killing Astrin's baby or sorry, you know,
14:56
Speaker 1: throwing the baby away and then nearly killing Astrin. Didn't
14:58
Speaker 1: even let us see it. Didn't even let us see it.
15:02
Speaker 1: Now they're chitty chatting, right? And what happens is they're
15:09
Speaker 1: about to let the yellow legs all have a turn
15:12
Speaker 1: at like cutting up Astrid and then killing her slowly.
15:15
Speaker 1: But then Manon says, I'm making the words request. It
15:19
Speaker 1: is here by my whatever. I get to do this. Yada, yada, yada.
15:25
Speaker 1: Everyone's sort of up in arms. Manon's grandmother is like,
15:28
Speaker 1: for fuck's sakes. And then Crusader, which is the blue
15:32
Speaker 1: blood matron, she goes, I'll allow it. And that's all
15:34
Speaker 1: she needed. All she needed was one of them to
15:36
Speaker 1: allow it. So she goes, cool, I'll do it. And
15:39
Speaker 1: she gets Wind Cleaver out. She's been sharpening it all night.
15:42
Speaker 1: That's her sword. And she goes up. She's thinking about it.
15:47
Speaker 1: Astrid's looking at her. She goes, it's okay. She's saying,
15:49
Speaker 1: it's okay. Like, please take me back to the fucking
15:52
Speaker 1: cabin and bury me next to the guy I loved
15:55
Speaker 1: and had a baby with. I did think it was
15:58
Speaker 1: going to happen right now. I was like, fuck. And
15:59
Speaker 1: I was like, holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck. They're crying.
16:03
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, what is going on? Manon's grandmother is like,
16:08
Speaker 1: fucking today, Manon, let's go. Yeah, man, let's fucking do
16:11
Speaker 1: it already, bitch. Get it over and done with. And
16:14
Speaker 1: then the end of the chapter, bro, for fuck sakes. Oh,
16:20
Speaker 1: my days. She goes, Manon. She tilts her head back quickly.
16:27
Speaker 1: She just says to her 13, run. Run. She pivots,
16:32
Speaker 1: brings Wind Cleaver down onto her grandmother. Yes. I was like, woo.
16:38
Speaker 1: I was dying. I had to put the book down.
16:40
Speaker 1: I went for a walk.
16:43
Speaker 3: I saw you said, I had to put my book
16:45
Speaker 3: down and go for a walk.
16:45
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm definitely not up to you. I can't
16:47
Speaker 1: watch that. Yeah, bro. That was the part I was
16:50
Speaker 1: up to. I brought my kindle with me. I had
16:51
Speaker 1: to go for a walk. I didn't know what to do.
16:54
Speaker 1: I was inside. Beth was in the shower. Her sister
16:58
Speaker 1: is in the kitchen because we were staying up with
16:59
Speaker 1: her parents at the time. And I read that and
17:02
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have a physical reaction. I'm like, holy fuck.
17:06
Speaker 1: Holy shit. And Caitlin's like, Caitlin's like, what's going on?
17:11
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm sorry. I don't know what
17:13
Speaker 1: to do with myself right now. And I go, I
17:15
Speaker 1: pick up my phone and I bring my Kindle with
17:18
Speaker 1: me and I just went outside and I went for
17:19
Speaker 1: a walk. I was like, I got to go. And
17:21
Speaker 1: then I made a video. She would have been wicked, eh? Dude,
17:27
Speaker 1: she was like, is this normal? I was like, this
17:29
Speaker 1: is fucked. I was like, this is fucked. My heart
17:33
Speaker 1: was racing. Look, anyway, then there's like, so at that point, right?
17:42
Speaker 1: So I finished that chapter and I think that Manon's
17:45
Speaker 1: grandmother is dead. Oh. So I'm like, because all it
17:50
Speaker 1: ends with is, and then she brought Winn Cleaver down
17:53
Speaker 1: on her grandmother. Yeah. And so I was thinking, thank
17:59
Speaker 1: fuck she's dead. And then I go to the next
18:01
Speaker 1: chapter and it turns out she just barely fucking missed. Yeah.
18:06
Speaker 1: Because her grandmother's a beast, obviously. Like she's a fucking beast, bro.
18:10
Speaker 1: And so now we find out some genuine lore right here.
18:14
Speaker 1: Basically Astrid dips the 13 dip, right? And Manon goes,
18:20
Speaker 1: looks like I'm fighting my grandma, you know? I don't know.
18:23
Speaker 1: No one has ever sparred with her or anything. No
18:25
Speaker 1: one knows how good she is. Yeah. And so she goes,
18:28
Speaker 1: this is fucking scary.
18:30
Speaker 3: And like worst case, she's got to make enough time
18:32
Speaker 3: for her 13 to get away.
18:33
Speaker 1: That's all she's thinking about. Madeline's like, I'm dying right now.
18:37
Speaker 1: But as long as they get away. Yeah. So she's
18:41
Speaker 1: fighting with her grandma, kind of keeping up with her,
18:44
Speaker 1: kind of getting hit here and there. She gets cut
18:46
Speaker 1: here and there. But her grandma, she's like, after everything
18:50
Speaker 1: I did for you, after everything I did for you,
18:53
Speaker 1: I tried to make you the opposite of your stupid
18:55
Speaker 1: wimpy mother, right? I tried to turn you into a weapon.
18:59
Speaker 1: And then while they're fighting in between little like sparring
19:04
Speaker 1: matches where they're like cutting each other up with their
19:06
Speaker 1: iron teeth, nails and shit or whatever it's called. They're
19:08
Speaker 1: fucking iron. Yeah. Yeah. Iron nails. They'll like, so they
19:12
Speaker 1: drop swords. They're just like hand to hand combat. Manon's
19:15
Speaker 1: getting like pretty pumped. It's a big gash in the stomach.
19:18
Speaker 1: It's like, Getting fucked up. Manon's grandma's a weapon. She goes,
19:22
Speaker 1: I don't know like how they get onto it, right?
19:26
Speaker 1: But she goes, do you know who your father was?
19:29
Speaker 1: She says this to fucking Manon. Also very quietly so
19:32
Speaker 1: no one else hears it. She's like, you. Oh, also
19:37
Speaker 1: before this, right? Before, one more thing. Before she brings
19:40
Speaker 1: her sword down on her grandmother, the 13 witches, they
19:44
Speaker 1: do this symbol where they go like touch their forehead
19:47
Speaker 1: or something and then they like They like salute to
19:49
Speaker 1: Manon in a way where you only salute to the
19:51
Speaker 1: high witch queen. And there hasn't been a high witch
19:54
Speaker 1: queen for centuries and centuries. So basically what that, what
19:58
Speaker 1: her 13 is saying is like, I, we recognize you
20:01
Speaker 1: as our queen as in like, we're loyal to you,
20:04
Speaker 1: not your grandma. You can rule everyone. We're only loyal
20:07
Speaker 1: to you now. So keep that in mind. And so
20:09
Speaker 1: now this is where she's getting kind of pumped by
20:12
Speaker 1: her grandma and they're battling. And she's like, you know,
20:16
Speaker 1: what's up with, you know, you're not a fucking queen.
20:18
Speaker 1: Like you don't have shit. You don't have power. You
20:19
Speaker 1: don't have nothing. You know, she's like, I know where
20:22
Speaker 1: this is coming from. She goes, you know, your fucking
20:24
Speaker 1: mother was fucking, you know, you know where you're born,
20:28
Speaker 1: your mom bedded. So the, the other version of which
20:32
Speaker 1: is the quote croak croaking witches. Right. And they're the
20:35
Speaker 1: ones that, um, put a curse on the wasted lands
20:39
Speaker 1: that the blue bloods, sorry, the iron teeth witches that
20:43
Speaker 1: they want. Yep. Okay. And so, fuck, it's confusing, but
20:47
Speaker 1: it's still so cool. Basically, the croak and witches can
20:51
Speaker 1: have both men and women as witches. And so, Manon's
20:57
Speaker 1: mother fell in love with a prince of the croak
21:02
Speaker 1: and witches. Croak and, yep. So, Manon is a direct,
21:07
Speaker 1: she is direct descendant of the royal bloodline of the
21:10
Speaker 1: croak and witches, right? And she has spent her whole
21:14
Speaker 1: life hunting her literal- Hating them. Fucking disciples. Killing them. Yeah? Yeah. Now,
21:21
Speaker 1: she goes, your mum, dead. You know what I did
21:25
Speaker 1: when your mum died? I went and killed that prince
21:27
Speaker 1: for the fun of it. Just so he never found
21:29
Speaker 1: you because he kept trying to find you. He was
21:31
Speaker 1: looking for Manon, yeah. Right? The whole time. Now, do
21:34
Speaker 1: we remember back at Morath time ago when their croaking
21:38
Speaker 1: witch was captured because she was spying and they made
21:42
Speaker 1: Manon kill her? Yeah. Yeah. Bro. She goes, you... You
21:50
Speaker 1: are literally the heir of the fucking croaking vine, right?
21:54
Speaker 1: You've been killing them your whole life. And you know
21:58
Speaker 1: that croaking bitch that you fucking beheaded back then? A
22:02
Speaker 1: couple months ago or whatever? That was your fucking sister.
22:07
Speaker 1: Your half-sister that came looking for you. You killed your half-sister. So,
22:13
Speaker 1: Manon is well-known and famous in the Croak and Witches because, like,
22:17
Speaker 1: that's our king. They think she's evil. They think she's evil.
22:20
Speaker 1: But they're like, we need to save her. You know?
22:22
Speaker 1: They're like, we feel bad for her.
22:25
Speaker 3: I thought they'd, like, given up on her because they
22:27
Speaker 3: just think, like, the grandmother's just been brainwashing her.
22:30
Speaker 1: The sister came looking for her. Yeah. The sister came
22:33
Speaker 1: looking for her. She goes, I got you to kill
22:35
Speaker 1: your own fucking sister. You know what pissed me off? Yeah.
22:40
Speaker 3: The grandma could easily kill Madeline and she's just fucking
22:43
Speaker 3: fueling the fire, fueling it, fueling it.
22:46
Speaker 1: No, that's because like, and that's good. I like that.
22:48
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was like,
22:50
Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot. So, yeah, basically, I thought that
22:54
Speaker 1: was just the absolute sickest fucking thing. And then, so
22:59
Speaker 1: she can hear her, Abraxas is up in the sky
23:02
Speaker 1: roaring away, circling, roaring. Also, none of the other witches
23:08
Speaker 1: come in to help Manon's grandmother because Manon's grandmother says,
23:12
Speaker 1: everyone back off. She's mine. Yeah, I got this. So anyway,
23:15
Speaker 1: she gets told all this information, right? So obviously Manon's
23:19
Speaker 1: new thing is... Another thing is Manon jumps over the
23:24
Speaker 1: edge of a fucking balcony and she's falling to her death,
23:27
Speaker 1: but Abraxas saves her. She hears her grandmother roaring, get him,
23:31
Speaker 1: get him, get him, right? The 13 got away. What
23:37
Speaker 1: happens is Abraxas picks her up. She's like dying. She's
23:41
Speaker 1: been cut so bad. And then two of the 13,
23:46
Speaker 1: they flank her. So she knows they all got away.
23:50
Speaker 1: She's like, thank the gods. Thank goodness. Now, there's four
23:54
Speaker 1: yellow-legged witches chasing them about to come bring them down.
23:58
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Six yellow-legged witches. They're chasing them down. They
24:02
Speaker 1: were sent to get them. They're gaining on them. She
24:04
Speaker 1: looks at her two fucking... 13 and she said they're
24:07
Speaker 1: the two twins these these are like they're mad dogs
24:09
Speaker 1: apparently she says looks like we've got two each you
24:13
Speaker 1: guys kill two i'll kill two so she says like
24:16
Speaker 1: that's an order get the fuck out of here and
24:18
Speaker 1: then i'll find you we'll find each other so they
24:21
Speaker 1: flank off two two of the other legs go follow
24:23
Speaker 1: so four of the other legs obviously go follow those
24:25
Speaker 1: two and then two of them are following abraxas and
24:28
Speaker 1: she weaves them in through these little gaps in the
24:30
Speaker 1: mountains basically just out maneuvers them gets the other two
24:32
Speaker 1: to just crash into the mountains and just die She
24:35
Speaker 1: kills them both, yeah. And then I can't, I'm pretty
24:38
Speaker 1: sure she just blacks out after that. Is that what happens?
24:41
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, yeah. Yeah, she just like blacks out
24:44
Speaker 1: after that. So, obviously. She faints. Obviously, what's going to
24:48
Speaker 1: happen is they're going to go find the Kroken's and
24:50
Speaker 1: they're all going to join the Kroken witches and just
24:52
Speaker 1: like be part of this big happy Kroken family and
24:54
Speaker 1: then the Kroken's going to fight for Aelin Galathineus and
24:56
Speaker 1: Madden's going to switch sides and she's going to fall
24:57
Speaker 1: in love with Dorian and they're going to have babies
24:59
Speaker 1: and then their fucking kid is going to be, I
25:02
Speaker 1: don't know, some mad dog. I know.
25:06
Speaker 3: Jack, there's going to be some lore that gets put
25:08
Speaker 3: down that we didn't know about with the witches, hey?
25:10
Speaker 1: Other than the croak can know about. The croakens are
25:15
Speaker 1: going to be, yeah, like it's going to be cool.
25:19
Speaker 1: The croakens, I think it's going to be like the
25:24
Speaker 1: Iron Teeth witches. They are like these purist cult type witches. Yes.
25:31
Speaker 1: And the Krokens are going to be like a lot
25:33
Speaker 1: more developed in, you know, maybe more like us, like
25:38
Speaker 1: more like, just like more humans of today. Yeah. They're
25:41
Speaker 1: open to things. They're open to maybe breeding with humans.
25:44
Speaker 1: They're open to this. They don't drink human blood. Like, yeah,
25:47
Speaker 1: it's not all about that for them. They're not brainwashed.
25:49
Speaker 1: It's not a cult. Yeah. It's not culty. So, anywho,
25:54
Speaker 1: so sick. Manon, just, bro, I fucking love Manon. Yes.
26:02
Speaker 1: um anywho someone spoiled something for me too because um
26:05
Speaker 1: i said in my video it's not a huge spoiler
26:07
Speaker 1: i don't even know if it's true or not but
26:08
Speaker 1: i said in my video i said in a video
26:10
Speaker 1: saying like manon obviously is mated with dorian right yeah
26:14
Speaker 1: i was like i don't know how it works but
26:15
Speaker 1: they made it but then someone comments well how do
26:17
Speaker 1: we know that dorian doesn't maybe have some witch blood
26:19
Speaker 1: down his bloodline i was like thanks for spoiling it
26:21
Speaker 1: you fucking cunt.
26:28
Speaker 3: I was like thanks for spoiling it like learn how
26:30
Speaker 3: to comment there's a reason Not to read the comments.
26:32
Speaker 1: Learn how to comment on a video. I've had people comment.
26:36
Speaker 1: I've had people who have comments where I don't see
26:39
Speaker 1: the comment, but I see the reply to the comment.
26:41
Speaker 1: And it's like, he's not up to that part yet.
26:43
Speaker 1: And then I go to read the comment and it's deleted.
26:46
Speaker 1: So there's some good baddies out there. Like they don't
26:48
Speaker 1: want to spoil it. Yeah. No, that's good. Yeah. Um,
26:53
Speaker 1: chapter 19. Um, Oh, this chapter was kind of like
26:59
Speaker 1: we random. It was so random. Lorcan in a lead chapter.
27:03
Speaker 1: But anyway. Join the circus, cunt. They get literally dead set.
27:09
Speaker 1: They join a circus. Isn't that so weird? Anywho. So
27:16
Speaker 1: they get out of Oakwood Forest and a lead is
27:19
Speaker 1: just absolutely cheering. And they find this big ass river
27:22
Speaker 1: that's just impossible to cross. Like huge river, right? Impossible
27:26
Speaker 1: to cross. All the snow melting from Terrace is coming
27:29
Speaker 1: through here. She sees on the other side, you know,
27:33
Speaker 1: open grass fields and a leader's yearning for that. Lorcan notices, right?
27:37
Speaker 1: Because she's been held prisoner. Ten years of being a prisoner, right?
27:41
Speaker 1: She just wants to be free. They rock up to
27:46
Speaker 1: some like bridge. That's the crossing of the river. It's
27:50
Speaker 1: manned by the Adelanian forces that are taking taxes and
27:54
Speaker 1: fees and blah. And there's a tavern. And... First of all,
27:58
Speaker 1: she goes, Lorcan, stop, bro. You need to look more
28:00
Speaker 1: like a human. You look terrifying. Like, let's fucking, let's
28:03
Speaker 1: do your hair up. Let's take, let's unbutton a few shings.
28:06
Speaker 1: Let's hide some weapons. Like, seriously, for fuck's sakes. Yeah.
28:09
Speaker 1: And then he goes, what about you? She, you know,
28:11
Speaker 1: she takes off her fighting leathers. Get those boobies out. Legit, legit.
28:15
Speaker 1: She's like, in my bosoms, they fall out. And then
28:18
Speaker 1: Lorcan goes, I don't think some tits are going to
28:20
Speaker 1: make you look fucking better or some shit. And I
28:22
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, bro. I was like, what the fuck? Anywho,
28:28
Speaker 1: they're walking and she goes, any chance that magic for
28:30
Speaker 1: yours can help me with my limp? Because they're looking
28:33
Speaker 1: for someone with a limp. And then his magic swoops
28:36
Speaker 1: in around and, you know, helps her out with the limp.
28:39
Speaker 1: And I was thinking, just fucking do that forever. That
28:42
Speaker 1: would use none of your magic. Thoughts on Lorcan and
28:45
Speaker 1: Alide falling in love? I was thinking that.
28:48
Speaker 3: The only, because what happens next, they go into the
28:52
Speaker 3: tavern or whatever, and then Lorcan wants to be her brother.
28:55
Speaker 1: And she's like, no, no, no, no. You're my husband.
28:56
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no.
28:57
Speaker 3: I don't want to be your fucking, I don't want
28:58
Speaker 3: to be your husband.
28:59
Speaker 1: Why the fuck do you want to do that? Yeah.
29:01
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's telling something, I think. Commitment issues,
29:04
Speaker 1: my bro.
29:05
Speaker 3: Yeah. Or maybe he's had his heart broken or maybe
29:08
Speaker 3: he really loves those boobs so much.
29:09
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Anyway, they
29:13
Speaker 1: go into a tavern. They need a way to get
29:15
Speaker 1: across the bridge. I don't know why they can't just
29:17
Speaker 1: go across themselves, but basically I think her whole plan
29:20
Speaker 1: is she wants to join a, Well, do they have
29:23
Speaker 1: money or does Lorcan have the right money? They have
29:26
Speaker 1: some money and she got money from Madon anyway. She
29:30
Speaker 1: wants to join a traveling circus that can get her
29:32
Speaker 1: to Tarasin safely. Yeah. Lorcan's like, nah, but he doesn't
29:37
Speaker 1: want to do it anyway because he needs to travel
29:39
Speaker 1: south regardless. Yeah. So, they go to a tavern, they
29:43
Speaker 1: get some lunch, and then they overhear this traveling circus talking.
29:48
Speaker 1: How convenient. Basically, she goes, hey, let us be part
29:54
Speaker 1: of your circus. My husband here, best knife thrower in town. Yeah.
29:59
Speaker 1: She goes, me? I tell fortunes. Then they joined the
30:05
Speaker 1: circus and they go across the bridge. And yeah. When
30:11
Speaker 1: she goes, I can tell fortunes, but I can't read.
30:14
Speaker 1: She doesn't say that. She's like, I can't read, but
30:15
Speaker 1: I can tell fortunes. Shot herself in the foot there. Also, they, sorry. Oh,
30:28
Speaker 1: The trope, so this circus, they join the circus, right?
30:31
Speaker 1: And they're about to go across the bridge and they just, like,
30:33
Speaker 1: have a chat or whatever. They say they hear about
30:35
Speaker 1: an attack on Riftholt. And then there's also rumors of
30:41
Speaker 1: Aelin and her court. And so, Elite's just a bit
30:43
Speaker 1: excited about that type of shit, you know? Yes. Yeah.
30:47
Speaker 1: Chapter 20. I finished there, eh? Oh, shit. oh shit
30:54
Speaker 1: I read I read.
30:54
Speaker 4: 20 I forgot I always forget what we do no
30:58
Speaker 4: no it's not sometimes we stop at like the 9
31:01
Speaker 4: and sometimes we read on and I literally didn't read
31:04
Speaker 4: I didn't notice that I was reading chapter 20 until
31:06
Speaker 4: I went on and I saw chapter 21 and I
31:07
Speaker 4: was like fuck fuck.
31:08
Speaker 1: Do you want me to tell you what happens or
31:10
Speaker 1: just wait.
31:13
Speaker 3: Is it anything exciting because I feel like it was
31:15
Speaker 3: ah no tell me tell me it's just they I'll
31:19
Speaker 3: listen to it Rowan and Dorian they get to Skull's
31:21
Speaker 3: Bay yeah right They get there and it's like raining,
31:26
Speaker 3: pissing down rain.
31:28
Speaker 1: And they want to go find a different, they want
31:30
Speaker 1: to find an inn for the night. They want to
31:32
Speaker 1: find someone to stay safe. They don't feel like going
31:35
Speaker 1: to talk to Rolf yet. And then they're walking, they're walking,
31:38
Speaker 1: they're walking. And then Rowan feels like this really weird
31:41
Speaker 1: type of magic, really, really odd. And Dorian feels it too.
31:46
Speaker 1: So then they start to follow it. They say it
31:47
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like Valg, doesn't feel like this, doesn't feel
31:50
Speaker 1: like that. So they don't know what it is. But
31:53
Speaker 1: Dorian says his magic is curious towards it. They follow it.
31:57
Speaker 1: They follow it. They follow it. Then they follow it
31:59
Speaker 1: to a tavern that is named after Rolf's. It's Rolf's Tavern, basically. Right?
32:06
Speaker 1: Then they go inside and a barmaid comes out. And
32:12
Speaker 1: she doesn't even get scared of Rowan. Nothing like that.
32:16
Speaker 1: She just says, took you long enough. He's been waiting
32:18
Speaker 1: for you.
32:20
Speaker 2: Oh, shit.
32:20
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Yeah. And so then what
32:23
Speaker 1: it ends with is they walk into Ralph's office and
32:27
Speaker 1: Rowan's like, oh, this guy's way younger than I thought, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
32:31
Speaker 1: And basically they just, it's just Rolf being like, you know,
32:36
Speaker 1: been waiting for you. Okay. That's cool. Interesting. And then
32:42
Speaker 1: that's where I ended. And so that's why I wanted
32:43
Speaker 1: to read on. I was like, fuck, I need to know.
32:45
Speaker 1: So prediction, prediction for the immediate future, like the literal
32:51
Speaker 1: next chapter. or the next three chapters basically, is do
32:55
Speaker 1: you think that Erewhon got to Rolf before Aelin? Before. Ooh.
33:04
Speaker 1: And that's who he has watching, Rowan and Dorian. That
33:09
Speaker 1: would be sick. That's a big play. I could see
33:14
Speaker 1: that happening. Because we have to remember, there was Valg
33:20
Speaker 1: demons on Skull's Bay. Yeah, they were. Unless Rolf just
33:25
Speaker 1: is playing his own part.
33:27
Speaker 3: I think it's that or he's just already there and
33:31
Speaker 3: knows something himself.
33:33
Speaker 1: That'd be cool, though. That'd be cool, very cool. I'm
33:36
Speaker 1: going to be so upset if there's this whole part
33:38
Speaker 1: of the series where Rowan's a fucking Valk demon. I
33:41
Speaker 1: just can't put up with that.
33:43
Speaker 3: I reckon if your prediction right then, I think, would
33:47
Speaker 3: say that he's about to turn into a Valk demon.
33:49
Speaker 1: But that would say Dorian does too, though. And it
33:53
Speaker 1: just wouldn't make sense for Dorian to be turned back
33:55
Speaker 1: into one.
33:56
Speaker 3: Nah, Dorian's got his own growth story now of becoming
33:59
Speaker 3: a beast, finding out his magic. But Rowan's meant to
34:03
Speaker 3: show him how to wield his magic.
34:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so. Maybe Rolf's just his own person.
34:08
Speaker 1: I hope so. I actually do hope so. I hope so. Anyway,
34:13
Speaker 1: predictions for you? Fuck this. I swear when we did Akatar,
34:17
Speaker 1: there was like one prediction. There's so many storylines. Genuinely,
34:22
Speaker 1: Akatar has one storyline, eh? Yeah. One storyline.
34:27
Speaker 3: When you say predictions, I'm like, yeah, we're fucking Madden, Selena, Aileen,
34:31
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call her.
34:32
Speaker 1: Crescent City is similar. Crescent City has a few storylines.
34:37
Speaker 1: The Valk Prince. Fuck.
34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't... I need to like break it down almost.
34:43
Speaker 3: So we know, I think Madden, what her storyline now
34:46
Speaker 3: is given. She's going to go find.
34:49
Speaker 1: the other side of who she is, which is cool.
34:52
Speaker 1: That's very cool. That's so cool. And she's going to
34:55
Speaker 1: be a princess, bro.
34:57
Speaker 3: She becomes a princess, but then is she going to
35:00
Speaker 3: fight to be the queen of all queens and then
35:01
Speaker 3: she'll kill all the fucking other ones, I reckon?
35:04
Speaker 1: Oath, bro.
35:07
Speaker 3: And then where are we at with Aelin? I almost
35:10
Speaker 3: forgot because there's so much going on.
35:11
Speaker 1: Where did we leave her? I forgot. I honestly don't
35:13
Speaker 1: even remember. Yeah, where did we leave her? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They...
35:21
Speaker 1: They've bribed their way onto a ship. Yeah. And the
35:25
Speaker 1: last conversation I remember is her and Adion talking about
35:28
Speaker 1: how they need to get on that ship before dawn.
35:31
Speaker 1: They need to go. Yeah.
35:34
Speaker 3: And they're going to go find another word key or whatever.
35:36
Speaker 3: They need to go to the marshes or some shit.
35:38
Speaker 3: That Brandon told them. Well, that's their one's given too.
35:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:42
Speaker 3: What I want to predict is so Lorcan thinks he
35:47
Speaker 3: has a word key.
35:48
Speaker 1: But he doesn't. Yeah. Yeah.
35:52
Speaker 3: I don't know. And there's also a word key traveling
35:56
Speaker 3: with him. So, we know where the word keys are.
35:59
Speaker 3: We know that Aelin has one. We know that Elid
36:02
Speaker 3: has one. Elid has one.
36:04
Speaker 1: And we have to, obviously, I believe, I'm very sure
36:07
Speaker 1: that Erewhon has the other. Yeah. He's got those three. So,
36:12
Speaker 1: I think if Lorcan falls in love, that'd be pretty cool. Yeah,
36:16
Speaker 1: I think that'd be cool. That would be cool.
36:18
Speaker 3: And then when they're fucking, it's like, what's that?
36:23
Speaker 1: That's a terrible fucking.
36:26
Speaker 2: That'd be cool.
36:27
Speaker 1: No. I don't know. What about you, predictions wise?
36:32
Speaker 3: We say them when we go through them, to be fair.
36:37
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Manon's grandmother, she is so Erewhon,
36:45
Speaker 1: you know, villain. But I didn't think of Manon's grandmother
36:51
Speaker 1: up until now as like one of the main villains. Oh.
36:56
Speaker 1: You reckon she teams up with Maeve? I don't know.
36:59
Speaker 1: And I still don't know about this Maeve thing, eh?
37:03
Speaker 1: Like if she comes in. To be fair.
37:07
Speaker 3: I don't think there's, you know how there was 50
37:09
Speaker 3: Fae warships on the shore of the East Coast or
37:12
Speaker 3: some shit.
37:13
Speaker 1: I feel like that's not actually a thing, eh? Like
37:16
Speaker 1: it's something else. Okay. Just don't know what it is.
37:20
Speaker 1: And like you said, Maeve is just chilling. Yeah. I just...
37:29
Speaker 1: This whole Maeve thing, they mention Maeve so much. So
37:33
Speaker 1: much Maeve gets mentioned, right? What does Maeve want? She
37:37
Speaker 1: wants to... I don't know what Maeve wants. I genuinely
37:41
Speaker 1: don't know. Because she has everything. But the only thing
37:46
Speaker 1: I can think of is she's bored. So she's bored,
37:52
Speaker 1: but the, the genuinely the, like she, I think she
37:54
Speaker 1: just wants all power and dominion over Faye. And I think, right.
38:03
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is that for
38:05
Speaker 1: some reason, she gets her hands on Adion because he
38:11
Speaker 1: is captured again. Cause, cause he's pretty beast. Yeah.
38:15
Speaker 3: Right.
38:15
Speaker 1: And he's hot and he's Gabrielle's son. And then what
38:18
Speaker 1: happens is that they find out and then Rowan, Lorcan
38:24
Speaker 1: and Gavriel save him. But to me, that just is
38:28
Speaker 1: sort of boring.
38:30
Speaker 3: I think Lorcan and Rowan will team up properly when
38:33
Speaker 3: Gavriel comes into the equation to deal with Aiden.
38:36
Speaker 1: I just don't know what happens.
38:37
Speaker 3: I don't know if Aiden gets captured by Maeve, but
38:41
Speaker 3: I think that's how they sort of connect.
38:46
Speaker 1: Or yeah, Lorcan... I don't know. Oh, Adion and Lysandra, bro. True, yeah,
38:55
Speaker 1: they'll fuck. They flirt.
38:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll fuck for sure.
39:01
Speaker 1: But I can't even begin to think about anything major. Oh, well,
39:08
Speaker 1: here we go. Here's one thing, right? Aelin's going to
39:10
Speaker 1: go around. She's going to basically build an army. She's
39:13
Speaker 1: got the money for it. She's going to go hopefully
39:16
Speaker 1: get Rolf on her side, right? She's going to... I
39:19
Speaker 1: think she's going to somehow get Wendland to fight for her. Right? Yep.
39:24
Speaker 1: The silent assassins. They're gonna fight for her and then
39:28
Speaker 1: you remember that remember the chick from the silent assassins
39:30
Speaker 1: that wanted to like kill the silent assassins and then
39:32
Speaker 1: take a bunch of you know yes remember her I
39:35
Speaker 1: think I think she's gonna go get her to fight
39:37
Speaker 1: for her but I can't think of it I don't
39:39
Speaker 1: know anyone.
39:40
Speaker 3: Else what does um Elide know about Slanner at the
39:44
Speaker 3: moment it's just that mate fuck all nothing Nothing.
39:50
Speaker 1: Also, where's Nehemia from? Ilwe. They're going to go get
39:55
Speaker 1: Ilwe to fight for him? Yeah, Ilwe. They will.
39:59
Speaker 3: I think Elie's going to play a massive part in
40:01
Speaker 3: this somehow. I don't know how to connect the dots, though.
40:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she wouldn't have a storyline if she doesn't.
40:07
Speaker 1: She's massive. And the reason why I agree with you
40:10
Speaker 1: is because she's just not... She wouldn't have her own
40:13
Speaker 1: storyline if she doesn't play a huge part. And so...
40:19
Speaker 1: just at least with my experience, so Red Rising is
40:22
Speaker 1: actually shockingly similar to this book in the sense of
40:26
Speaker 1: how many different arcs there is, right? And so, because
40:31
Speaker 1: it's not, it's a space opera, which is sci-fi future
40:35
Speaker 1: fantasy type shit. And there's this character, there's this like really, honestly,
40:42
Speaker 1: in the beginning, so annoying. Her name's Lyra, right? She
40:46
Speaker 1: gets her own character arc In the beginning, annoying. Boring, annoying.
40:52
Speaker 1: Turns out to be one of the main plays in
40:55
Speaker 1: the whole series. He's giving that. I think you're right,
40:59
Speaker 1: that a lead is going to be a huge part.
41:03
Speaker 2: Okay.
41:04
Speaker 1: All right. And how many chapters are we going to do? Well, fucking...
41:10
Speaker 1: I want to do 20 just because I want to
41:12
Speaker 1: read it. I feel like a lot's going to happen, but... Baddies,
41:17
Speaker 1: let us know in the comments. Oh, yeah. Also, I
41:19
Speaker 1: have something to say. Yeah. I know last time we
41:24
Speaker 1: spoke about this, we made a decision. Oh, shit. But
41:31
Speaker 1: I have a new idea from baddies in comments suggesting it, right? So,
41:38
Speaker 1: we wanted to read this book, pause this series and
41:41
Speaker 1: read the new ACOTAR. Yes. Right? Yeah. Because we thought, well,
41:46
Speaker 1: it's going to be hyped up. Why would we not
41:48
Speaker 1: jump on that train? Let me know what you think
41:52
Speaker 1: of this. I think I saw the comment. So, we
41:56
Speaker 1: finish Throne of Glass and we finish it at the
42:00
Speaker 1: pace we're going. We don't rush it, right? We don't
42:04
Speaker 1: rush it. We enjoy it, relish in it. And then
42:09
Speaker 1: we read Akatar 6 in the lead up of Akatar 7. So,
42:12
Speaker 1: we piggyback off both of them. Because Akatar 7 is
42:15
Speaker 1: going to be a big, juicy, fat boy book. When's
42:18
Speaker 1: Akatar 7? January 21st. Okay. That's something to talk about.
42:25
Speaker 1: You know, we can still talk about it, but that's
42:27
Speaker 1: just an option. And a lot of that is... The
42:30
Speaker 1: only reason I like... If we knew Akatar... Fuck, it's
42:35
Speaker 1: going to be.
42:36
Speaker 3: If we knew the new book was a full book,
42:38
Speaker 3: I would say no. Because it's 350 pages. That's really
42:41
Speaker 3: pissed me off.
42:42
Speaker 1: January 12th. That's almost exactly when we'll finish Kingdom of Ash. So, yeah,
42:50
Speaker 1: we'd finish Kingdom of Ash and then just get rid
42:53
Speaker 1: of ACOTAR 6 in one episode and then we would
42:57
Speaker 1: just relish in the fucking hype of ACOTAR 7. Oh, shit.
43:02
Speaker 1: All right. Comments, Maddy.
43:05
Speaker 3: We want comments because we're a podcast of the people.
43:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fuck, I don't know. I full messaged her. It's
43:13
Speaker 1: a sound... Idea, though. Sound? What are we, British? Sound means, like, good. Yeah, good.
43:22
Speaker 3: I full message because I'm in Bali when the book
43:23
Speaker 3: comes out. I think I'll be able to get it
43:26
Speaker 3: in Bali. I'm finding out today or tomorrow, yeah. So
43:30
Speaker 3: I can have a hard copy, too.
43:31
Speaker 1: You may as well still get it. Shit, I won't
43:34
Speaker 1: be able to... Cassie's reading it when it comes out.
43:35
Speaker 1: I won't be able to talk to her. I'm going
43:37
Speaker 1: to the... Oh, is she going to read it, too? Yeah,
43:39
Speaker 1: she's reading it because she read all the actor. I'm
43:41
Speaker 1: going to the release... Midnight release, yeah. So, I'm going
43:46
Speaker 1: to be getting my own hard copy. Yeah, but you
43:48
Speaker 1: can't read it. You'll be like, oh, oh. Bro, and
43:51
Speaker 1: do you know what's crazy? It's like I'm going to
43:53
Speaker 1: this midnight release, right? And so, I'm going to fucking,
43:58
Speaker 1: they're going to put me up in a hotel in Brizzy,
44:01
Speaker 1: which is nice of them. And so, I'm reading it
44:04
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know. Is Beth going with you?
44:06
Speaker 1: How would you say no? I didn't even ask her,
44:08
Speaker 1: but I just didn't feel like getting the dog sorted out. So,
44:10
Speaker 1: I just said to her. Oh, true, true. I didn't
44:13
Speaker 1: think of that. And I'm going to be over there
44:14
Speaker 1: with Luke anyway. So I was like, Beth would just
44:16
Speaker 1: be third wheeling anyways. Nah, but anywho, yeah, the midnight release, bro.
44:27
Speaker 1: I actually have to be at this fucking release party
44:30
Speaker 1: until midnight. That's what a midnight release, I saw that.
44:37
Speaker 1: I'm getting my booking going straight home. First world problem, eh? 12.01.
44:44
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm fucking out. Luke's on the panel. So like,
44:49
Speaker 1: when's that? It's like, am I even going to be
44:51
Speaker 1: able to fucking see him or am I going to
44:52
Speaker 1: be just a lonely guy in the corner? You should
44:57
Speaker 1: bring your Kindle and just start reading. So it comes
45:02
Speaker 1: up to you. No, wait a minute. All right, baddies.
45:05
Speaker 1: A lot of comments to be had.
45:07
Speaker 3: Otherwise, though, we will see you next week with how
45:10
Speaker 3: many chapters we decide from the comments.
45:13
Speaker 1: From the comments.
45:13
Speaker 3: 20 chapters would have taken us an hour and 40 minutes.
45:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. We all know what they're going to say. We
45:22
Speaker 1: want it to be two hours. We want it to
45:24
Speaker 1: be 20 chapters. It's hard on Jake, though. I don't
45:28
Speaker 1: really do anything in these. Yeah. I don't mind doing it.
45:32
Speaker 1: I just feel like I get sick of the sound
45:35
Speaker 1: of my own voice. Get that jaw going at home more, brother.
45:39
Speaker 1: Any way possible. Hey, I'll tell Beth. My jaw needs
45:44
Speaker 1: a workout. She'd be like, get a Godstopper, brother. Chew
45:50
Speaker 1: some gum, you fucking idiot. That's what she'd say. All right, baddies.
45:53
Speaker 1: We love you. Stay bad.
