  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to the Mom's Theory podcast.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Kaylee.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm Katarina and I'm a Kinsey and today's episode is a deep dive into the everking.
• 0:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the everking was our book club book for August.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I always have to like remember my month.
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, what is happening?
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, we're going to get into it.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: But before we do, let's do recent reads.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I am reading Society of Lies, which is our physical book club button.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my gosh, it's so good.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: It is a thriller really.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm loving it.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: You'll love it.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's a thriller.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ever where you're trying to get this book, I have it, but someone's borrowing it after.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's a thriller at Princeton and there's a murder and at first I think it's like a I don't know if I can actually put a suicide.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: That doesn't get flagged.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: But then the girl
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: Who's kind of involved is like there's something fishy about this.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a secret society that did this and it was some kind of ritual something And so I'm only halfway through, but I'm like, I it's is it gonna be like a good discussion type book?
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think so I think I think so because it's like people don't really talk about secret societies instead You know and in the book it's like the there's a society, but there's like a secret society in the society and only like 20 people are in it And you're not gonna be able to get more girls
• 1:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's probably, it's a gift to Princeton, which is really weird because I'm also reading Night Pouse, which is also about secret societies at...
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe Yale.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, it is Yale.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, that's really weird.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ivy League schools thing, yeah.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: But they're like, bad secret societies.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, oh, yeah.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's really like a sorority.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I figured.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is not how this is.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is like, they're not surprised.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Someone would've gotten murdered.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, I mean, it's interesting.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's good.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I have recently read a core of blood and bindings and I love it so much.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad I read it.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not like big, but there, it's like a complete, I think it's a completed series, but it sounds like five books.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but there's a prequel too, but there's only a few of them on hoopla.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: The rest of them are on kit one limited.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: The magic system
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know it's she's giving like traditional FMC vibes and a fantasy, but so good.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was listening to it and reading it because I was like, I have to know it happens.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't just wait for them morning when I drop to work.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm listening to bourbon and secrets, which is the second book.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: After bourbon and laws, it's a romantic suspense.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I had never heard of that until you put it on there, and then a bunch of people were like, I've read it, I've read it, I've read it.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so I guess it's like blowing up right now.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen it on TikTok a few times.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: But if you're an audiobook person, listen to the audience, because Mackenzie was a part of me.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: You have to listen to their voices.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're so good.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're, it's in Kentucky.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they're like southern and the twanging growlie.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like just like that deep southern voice.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Both of them, the girl, too.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: The girl is like Twangie.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like if Wendy Wilson was talking.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she's not like,
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hi, Pidgesky.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: She has like a like McKinsey's voice is kind of unique.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's neat and neat.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a warm hug.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like when you're listening to him talk and I'm like, this is perfect.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like I love it so much the first one.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then I'm almost done with Bourbon and secrets.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And if you like romantic suspense, that's a good one.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's as far as Kaylee will go in the suspense role as far as I'll do.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think you'd like to sign your voice.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: They keep trying to get me to read the relors, and that's just not my cup of tea.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: If you were to read one, you don't need to like dive in headfirst.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, this is my early baseline.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I literally have free to book.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like so much anxiety in my life.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, like last night Brandon and Talon went to the football game, didn't get home until 2am.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to sleep until they got home because I can't find anything.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is not it for me.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is step by step.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: But it won't when Christmas is out and I walk myself in my room.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's not like, but then I'm like, my kids are kind of tired.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm thinking like, do I go get a knife to protect me?
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, what do I do?
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: There have been times I'm told I didn't like stay in bed with me overnight because I'm like, it's just comfort for you.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: For you, for me, but yeah, that's me and I live in the middle of the woods.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, oh, now I think that would freak me out more.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not having anyone with dogs or outside in a here in barking and or like sukey will lay and like look out of our bedroom window out into the woods and shows us like really low ground.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, please go I positive is cases right there.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm like, if anything could happen.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: I could like, hey, can I have Chris come up with a place.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, come take my case.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, see it would bulldoze somebody.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: So our next book.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, our next book is a great big beautiful life, Emily Henry, which I have read and I was kind of like, well, I've already read it, but you're like, I love it.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I love it.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: I like read it at the beach like two months ago and I texted them and I was like, oh my god, I was like obsessed.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so excited to read it.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's real.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: if you're not on our fable yet join our fable so we can all chat about it and even the catering is already ready she can still like yeah come on and chat with you about it yeah she already knows what's going to happen yeah and so good to be a good change we've done out of fantasy yeah I don't think we've done romance inspiration
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: That was her first one in January, 2013.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think 13.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's different.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's different.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's different.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it is fiction.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: Or not.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it is fiction.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how you would describe it.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Control fiction?
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Not why it.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's not really why.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, say it's why.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's a story that I don't know.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, switch up.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to read, grab a beautiful line for those.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Go to Fable and we can interact on there.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we just read, everking.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And what did you guys write it?
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, like right after I read it, it was a six star for a minute five.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's a solid five.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a solid five.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a solid five.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a solid.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: There were enough of it.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: I liked it.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't love it.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were laughing because when we first started it, we were like, we're probably going to love this book because Harry did it.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: way, I'm obsessed with this book.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't understand like how kind of you're going to do not love it.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: So honestly, the first 25% is confusing.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: I even told them at book club.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was like three or four weeks ago.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was like just make it to a 25% and then like it lit it for me.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: It literally clicked.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it makes sense.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: And like I didn't dislike the book.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: It just wasn't my favorite, but the first 25% I struggled because I don't know what the heck's going on.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I struggled with that too because I have to visualize something in order to understand it and I could not visualize what this world looks like and that was hard for me.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: What did you picture with the captain?
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: I pictured like a literal like, well, I was going to picture me tricksy, like shimmery.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like vampire diaries, e where it was like an invisible like thing, but you bury your inner side.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's the only other side.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, like, it was like a fit.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like a foe.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: I pictured that thing where you can like tap on it and like,
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: He said they dove under.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: So like I. That's true.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm to figure that out.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: That part of the picture like a whole opening.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to know they would.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it went underneath the water.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: So then anyway, because when she is swimming in touch, they have it to where you know, but it like it takes so much for you to get through it like they know how to do it.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: So like people from their world don't know that you can just swim underneath the well, not know.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think you can because she touched it.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why it opened and that's why it opened.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it only opened one line.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's why I kind of pictured like a whole line at the end of the book They were talking about how they've lost so many people because they were trying to go through the chasm to get to her and if it's And they can't do it.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like is one side it like you can go.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it has to be open.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean like yeah, they have it closed because It's said in the book that they used to trade or something You should be open and then he said well once it opened for that second
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: The other guy got through it was his name.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Jonas No, they were like alexie.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, or Alec Alec, whatever.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Alec C. K. S. I. Alec C. Yeah He came through but he came through with the other guy.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think I was also confused.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: She had so many people in her family.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: I could not figure out all of that.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: Once we got into his side, it made more sense.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now that we talked about the prequel, I bet she threw it in there if we came from the prequel that would make more sense.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those characters would have just been like, these are the, like, you know, these people are.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which is probably where we messed up.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not reading that.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but normally prequels are,
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: like they come after the first series.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: So she probably wrote this.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this was like a side series, not like a it was it.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the other one was written first and then this was a spin-off series.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this is more like the sequel.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is was a, this was first series.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's being a sequel.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that makes more sense.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's why there are so many people because we just should know who they are.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: It also probably would not have taken us a quarter of the book to figure out what was going on.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we are definitely not because that world is set and there's probably even more intricate world building even in the other one today.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it too.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, it took me a solid 25% because I was also, I still don't understand what they look like going underwater.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's still just, yeah, I can't wrap my mind around it.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Who was your favorite character?
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Eric.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I liked the Sewell school.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I did.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a little fresh.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: Is that his name?
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, I have a funny new calm sail, which is the guy from what is it?
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: Gild.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I felt like, I mean, not like, I don't picture them looking the same, but I feel like in personality they were really similar, but I'll figure it out that Celine was his daughter.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I knew something was weird about that, but I don't know why I didn't think of it any further than that.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like when she immediately gained Celine's trust, when she did take him, I was like absolutely that's her dad.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like has to be.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: That.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, also the fact that,
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't make the connection that he was the guy that was like of the court and he escaped or they allowed, like they allowed, try to get him out.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was I was like, oh crap, like there's a whole much more detail to this than we know.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really, really liked how their last name had something to do with their clothes.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was really cool.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: And some of their powers were cool.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: Their theories really cool.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen that in a book.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Fun.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like they blew.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Intentionally changed fit.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was really cool.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: That one they could either kill people or to like, that was really cool.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: I even wrote that down.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: Even Libby is with the plant growth.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: Like he wouldn't think that would be a really big power.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: But she's like, I can literally rebuild your world, you know, which I was like, while, and then the fact that the witch was actually his grandmother.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was wild.
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was like, my mind.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me, Plot, Mom.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just randomly, I can't grab them there.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, but I liked all the different, the politics of it, like the different houses in like all had like their own specific thing.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was frustrating that Eric was like,
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: living up to his father this whole time and his father was a horrible person.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well, they were both kind of morally gray.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, and I think that's partially why I didn't love it as much because I really hate that.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, I'm like y'all are just like evil together.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hate that.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: We like more like gray.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a more like gray cinnamon roll though.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can't tell me all my questions.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she was too.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I wanted to be like y'all think nice.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: He pine after her.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then whenever she was having an anxiety attack would like literally.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, confirm like who she is as a person in her head.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm like, sir.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, thank you.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: He like the yearning from that man on my gosh.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I went to she was little.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Which was little.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and she had the realization she was like I've loved him since we were on the other side Was she got that mark when she was a child how did nobody ever see that from her court Right, we're like a question where it came for exactly like because it came from one of those
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: It came from because when she so each like house or each king like had a trinket that like represent in their power.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the grandmother made that one for his father and when he died Eric had it but I guess he lost couldn't like possession of it because she had it and he was like keep this safer me but when she fell on it and touched it
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: like the power of you to her.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so that part I think was really confusing to me.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I had trouble grass, which is how she looks around.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I also said that it wasn't the trinket or the witch said it wasn't a trinket.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is what we call like a blood matcher.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: like a heart bond.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it I don't think it happened it may have happened because she touched it.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I don't think it happened because it broke and like went into her.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was just like they were heart bonded and pulled to each other and I think it was stronger because they were truly loved each other.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and his father and his mother didn't
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, at 14% I, okay, I said reminds me of when Edward just saw Bella.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously there mates.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a perplexing kind of darkness took hold.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: The deep cinnus of my chest.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was cruel, wicked and greedy.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Never had I desired something so fiercely.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't understand it and I didn't try.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Literally all I pictured was you know that scene when the wind blows Edward.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's literally all I saw with that was reading.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, that's funny.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's like sitting there, he's like, like, at the science table.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
• 14:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's literally all I saw when I was reading that.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just I, all the things that I highlighted were things that he said.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because I was just like, wow, this man is swoonworthy.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he was like way higher up on your bookboy friends now.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Like top five?
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, top 10 for sure.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love who he is as a person, but I don't think I can get past.
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let's look at some.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wish I had, I need a visual of his scars because like, from this, I'm picturing like a deformed lens.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think she's just a dark, haired, dark skin.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just, just, no, I like for some reason in my head, I am picturing a make-old body with a deformed leg, like that is what I've gotten my head.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like a true pirate.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, that's why I imagine Captain Rolf as like that's that's Captain Rolf for me But no, I didn't I picture Captain Rolf like Johnny that not like see I did not I don't and then I saw this Tick talk with him and I was like oh, is that Captain Rolf?
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I need to see a picture.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Eric?
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Apparently this is Eric?
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's better than I thought it was going to be.
• 15:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'm supposed to be like bud red.
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: Hold on.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: The jaw like that.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was pirates.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that that made it better because it was different.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: What what about this one?
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's a scars on him.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't need to see the scars.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do need to see the scars because he has them and I need to make an educated other say ears or pointy But it's in the book hers weren't very pointy
• 16:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just, that's the part I couldn't look past.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was, it did use the word mangled.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: It used to be mangled and I was like, he had a, he walked with a limp in like, you know, let anybody see his legs.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then he had scars and she audibly gasped like, well the bone, like the leg thing was a bone issue.
• 16:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it broke and it saw I'm picturing like a leg that's like bow leg, it just like one.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so I just I don't know I don't think anyone's going to depict his scars because that was taken away from the but it matters to me.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to read the ever queen okay, so what do you think it's about?
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so In the book the spoilers.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: What don't tell me?
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be about her being a queen obviously.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think it's because of her coming queen.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously I don't know anything about like what the book is about.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: She's probably going to, but like make the ground get make it better, right?
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be part of it.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I think that there's going to be a lot of stuff
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Donut three.
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: There really was a betrayal or something with Donut's two, so something, but it was like the very end.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So something's going to happen with him, but I don't know what it will end the whole Larson situation because yeah, the whole time I was reading that I was like crap, what is happening and I could not figure out who the other person was on the boat.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so salty because I'm so mad.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was like my carrying swift and then he ruined it.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was like a couple pages before I figured out it was him, but I thought it was, there was another guy.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember who it was that I was like, it's 100% him.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was Celine's brother.
• 17:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: What was his name?
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't think it was Celine's brother.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was the one that went out on those secret missions for air.
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, I didn't think it was slim.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's what I said.
• 18:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember.
• 18:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because he was catching.
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Eric saved his dad.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, right.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, blah, then I didn't know that was his dad.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right?
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: We did.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
• 18:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because we knew silly.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I did because I knew silly.
• 18:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did it.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: And him or brother.
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I just even paid attention to that.
• 18:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I put it together, but that just confused me, because I was not expecting it to be him.
• 18:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then the bullets of the character name.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: He absolutely has to have somebody with him because, but wouldn't the somebody with him if it wasn't on the boat with him be blooded?
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tate.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tate.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, he said that if it's someone who is related to him, they don't, they are not included in the blood oath.
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which is how they realized it was also.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: But if you've had somebody else with him,
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right, which I think it's the girl that was obsessed with him or pretended to be obsessed with it because the witch talked about how she would not be useful and less or like they would be able to break it unless it was another heart bond.
• 19:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so I think that it's going to be the girl.
• 19:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if we were to her name or two wasn't he?
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he was like So it makes her yeah, yeah, let me so I think I think she wanted to be betrayed to him, but he was like yeah, yeah Yeah, so she just took the brother.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like okay, if I can't have her But I wonder if she was just that was the play all along was to get close to him and she's been with the brother the whole time Yeah, oh yeah
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: because if she had to have known that that was his brother, yeah, she had, yeah, but I don't think even Eric was fully, he, Eric didn't know who it was though, like he knew that there could potentially be someone out there who was his half-brother, but he didn't know that it was Larson, right?
• 19:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he could have had no idea, but I'm assuming Larson has known this whole
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: because he, like, even talked about it, and I like how it occured.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: What about that part where she like she literally saved him with all of her spices?
• 20:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was so stressed how many of her.
• 20:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was like are we just like putting like pepper to a wound like this is what I imagine man is mangled I was like the definition of mangled mangled is like literally like this like this thick of like craters of scars.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I see.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know
• 20:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay, I don't make sure that, but that's, that's as bad as me thinking orange had like skin tags.
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like a legitimate string coming off her back.
• 20:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, I just picture like a very long time.
• 20:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: So like I just couldn't get into like I love who he is as a person and if I picture him as somebody else, I'm like fine, if I picture him as him, you're like, oh, it gave you the egg.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but that's just me.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, I think so too.
• 21:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do.
• 21:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like I think there's sketchy stuff happening back in her world But you think he's I think he's good against him because there's also like those guys I think the ones who were going to be Good people are going to be the ones that knew Eric from the beginning.
• 21:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I mean Eric saved his dad Yeah, was Eric I was a Lexi the one that was like in the prison with them
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, that was, um, Jonas.
• 21:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was Jonas.
• 21:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Jonas was the guard.
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, it makes you wonder to Jonas see something that made him turn, because there's something sketchy with Jonas.
• 21:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
• 21:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
• 21:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it sounds off about him.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, Larsen said Tom for you to be used to the truth king, not my pathetic brother.
• 21:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that was the first time that
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like clear that he was the other brother or whatever.
• 22:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, because also it talked about like how they think that it was one of the sea witches who cast the darkening, which is why also I think it's that girl that wanted Eric because she's a part of the witch like crew.
• 22:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 22:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I think Eric's brother and whatever her name is, that she was obsessed with him, have been working together since before.
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So this has to be like 10 years plus in the making, because maybe I'm with him for 10 years.
• 22:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then she, it was like her job to get close to him, but he didn't want it.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 22:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to see like, because obviously now that she's been taken,
• 22:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: part of the book is going to be getting her back and then is it going to be like curing the land or like meeting up with.
• 22:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: the conflict between overseas and maybe the world.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: There's three, three bucks, there's three.
• 23:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, the next one's ever.
• 23:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: In my mind, she wouldn't become clean until the last one, but because it's called the Ever Queen.
• 23:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
• 23:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, she didn't ship a queen whenever he sat her on the throne and made her as equal.
• 23:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's a very clean queen at the very end.
• 23:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved that.
• 23:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to.
• 23:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, you know, I was expecting that.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I guess that's the why the next book's all over.
• 23:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought we could have a confident king.
• 23:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: The third one is either.
• 23:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was right then.
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, are they're sand.
• 23:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: What is four?
• 23:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're still in crown.
• 23:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: The schedule is an out yet of the scheduled release of this independently published edition has been canceled.
• 23:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so there is traditionally published by a books and fall of 2026.
• 23:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: There's four.
• 23:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: There's three right now.
• 23:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 23:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, good thing we're interviewing her.
• 23:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's a good question.
• 23:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ask her.
• 23:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let me screenshot this.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Did we talk already on this or was it before we started filming about the prequel series?
• 23:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Was that before we started filming?
• 23:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Talk to a little bit about it.
• 23:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I'm curious what that's going to be like.
• 24:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: So the missed thief is the third one.
• 24:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, um, we need to remember to ask her about that.
• 24:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: makes it seem like it's already written, but she never did anything with it.
• 24:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now I think it's what it said was it's already written.
• 24:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was supposed to be published before, but now it's going to be traditionally published.
• 24:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So do we know what the series is before those?
• 24:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: Is it the immortal or something?
• 24:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: Go to her page.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is her profile.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it is.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's her profile.
• 24:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: Or is that this is her?
• 24:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's um, I would know it if I thought.
• 24:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: The prequel to Everking is the broken kingdom series.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a nine books in that.
• 24:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we really did just start with the prequel.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: With the spin-off.
• 24:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: We literally said jump right in the jump again.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the broken kingdom series tells the story of the parents of the characters in that.
• 24:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: And there's nine of them.
• 24:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: The ever-see series focuses on the children of the characters from the broken kingdom series.
• 25:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, we miss the whole series.
• 25:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Probably while she threw all the characters in and was like you're supposed to know who all of the shadows and thorns.
• 25:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: What's interesting though, as you really didn't have to read it.
• 25:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: We have time.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: It just took a little while to figure out.
• 25:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it took a minute to figure out who all the people were in like place them.
• 25:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: But Viking part fairy tale.
• 25:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was for a game name series, a rebellious princess, a curse to brook.
• 25:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, sorry, I'm going to go back and read that before you.
• 25:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Number two, no, absolutely.
• 25:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'll take you ten books.
• 25:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, thank you.
• 25:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to read that.
• 25:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm reclaimed.
• 25:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Very soon, though.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to read it.
• 25:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm reading a sort of crescent city, too.
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: Did you?
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: Is that house of breath, sky and breath?
• 25:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I think so.
• 25:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: There I get them all confused.
• 25:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let me see our call at Christmas City.
• 25:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't realize that there were even other names today.
• 25:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, because I was like Christmas City.
• 25:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I also signed breath.
• 25:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 25:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I'm starting that today.
• 25:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you haven't started yet.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, but I will have been, but started for three days.
• 26:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just haven't had a chance to read, um, but I'm starting that.
• 26:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next, um, fantasy book I read will be that we're queen.
• 26:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, nice.
• 26:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have to listen to what I'm done listening to Big Maro and still I have to listen to, um, been nice on.
• 26:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's that?
• 26:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: The fifth book of Twilight Hell.
• 26:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: Isn't that like Edward's P.O.B.?
• 26:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're reading it for that book club, aren't you?
• 26:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they were programming up because they're all like, this is so cringy.
• 26:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, aren't they all?
• 26:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, not in my hands though.
• 26:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like someone said, what is Edward even talking about?
• 26:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ever.
• 26:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm honestly like, it's a 25 hour.
• 26:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, listen to it on two and it's 13.
• 26:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was an interesting one too.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just started listening to Brebin and Secrets on too because they talk so slow and like drawn out.
• 26:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: I normally start at one and a half.
• 26:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And once I've figured out the plot, I can just see, I'm like a 1.25 if I like it though.
• 27:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to speed through it because I want to listen to it.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But like, oh, I might never have asked.
• 27:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Come on, I'm next book.
• 27:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Five scenes, 1.8, I was like, let's roll.
• 27:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: We gotta go.
• 27:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got time for this.
• 27:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 27:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else?
• 27:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just loved this book.
• 27:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did like it.
• 27:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really liked it.
• 27:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I obviously I gave it a five.
• 27:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Needed something different from fantasy.
• 27:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: This was different.
• 27:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this was different.
• 27:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: That very different.
• 27:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I felt like what I wanted my MMCW like I needed that from Eric.
• 27:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: I also feel like the powers were really unique.
• 27:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: They weren't this yet typical, which was nice.
• 27:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was good.
• 27:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was a good change.
• 27:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
• 27:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really did.
• 27:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy that it was a good pick.
• 27:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, my favorite part.
• 27:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we have a favorite review from Heidi the Reader.
• 27:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: It says this book is such a good time.
• 27:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: The story moves at a good pace with great character development.
• 27:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: The FMC and MMC are topped here and the side characters add a lot of interest to the story and the themes of found family slash home.
• 27:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: There is some world building and magic system that blends the element of mythology, but it's explained throughout the story, making it less heavy of a romanticity with a story that continues to move forward.
• 28:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Great, great.
• 28:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Who was Heidi the Reader?
• 28:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's a good review.
• 28:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was a really great review.
• 28:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that was faster.
• 28:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: I like that.
• 28:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: five stars.
• 28:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like it wasn't as easy a read.
• 28:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: I felt like it was really intricate.
• 28:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it took me a minute to get into the world building, but once I got it, I don't know what's on.
• 28:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's my this sounds so bad.
• 28:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: But I think that's my thing.
• 28:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: Like, if I just think too much, I don't love the book as much.
• 28:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I had to think more in this than I didn't like gild.
• 28:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
• 28:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know, gild I was like, I didn't like it.
• 28:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: This makes sense.
• 28:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: That one is super easy read.
• 28:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'd like it.
• 28:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
• 28:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: If you would.
• 28:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: I would like that.
• 28:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: There's some saying.
• 28:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't mind having to think, but like,
• 28:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes I just want to read and then I agree well where you're always one star reviews Mine was sometimes I wish I didn't know how to read so I didn't have to read something that is as boring and uninteresting I thought this book
• 28:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: This isn't for me, personally, the writing's just so top-y and weird, the characters are annoying and awkward.
• 29:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think I read the term turns as in years, about 32 times, by page 60 set.
• 29:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.
• 29:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: This one says the MMC was so boring, I'm still trying to figure out why the MMC was even likes her.
• 29:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Also, the world building needs a lot of work, are we under water, on land, where are we?
• 29:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: And girlly just forgets that she's been kidnapped because due to time.
• 29:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's fair.
• 29:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she, I think that she really has to get to know.
• 29:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, she's really has to.
• 29:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was a kid, though.
• 29:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she said I've always had this pulled to him.
• 29:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So while I hate him, I also love him.
• 29:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, really what the theme was.
• 29:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: She never knew.
• 29:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Never once did she say, I don't say, I'm not kidnapped.
• 29:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: He says she's like, I shouldn't like you, but I do.
• 29:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: She does call attention to it.
• 29:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, am I crazy for this?
• 29:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like now, because it's always been you.
• 29:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've always felt this full-toured do since I was younger.
• 29:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: And even though I love my home, I love it down here.
• 29:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like I belong here.
• 29:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really like how it is.
• 29:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 29:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're all, yeah.
• 30:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's going to be, I do think her, like, call to the water is interesting.
• 30:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like she parted, see you back.
• 30:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, like I thought I'd make sense.
• 30:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Or what I've heard from you.
• 30:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 30:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: My hair bar could be.
• 30:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm hoping we get more explanation as to why she was drawn to him and his world.
• 30:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 30:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And the next book.
• 30:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm excited.
• 30:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'll just tell me how that book is.
• 30:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I will.
• 30:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how the blood.

  [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's no.
• 30:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm good.
• 30:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not interested if there's not a love interest.
• 30:52

• 32:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Even though they're doing things, I'm not against it.
• 32:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not against reading it.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I love just not like at the top and it was very abbey him and is like yeah, I was laughing So it was funny and it was so good.

  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like all of her books are very similar.
• 32:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah
• 32:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And just like her talking about like because she was born with the deformity.
• 32:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So his was because of something she was able to bring that way.
• 32:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Something that was in common.

  [SPEAKER_03]: That's cute.

  [SPEAKER_03]: It was really cute.
• 32:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: I read our infinite lies.
• 32:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: No.
• 32:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: Our infinite face.
• 32:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm reading society.
• 32:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Why don't we have our infinite face.
• 32:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't like the ending with the rest of it was so good.
• 33:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was the most unique book I've ever read.
• 33:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, do you still like it, even though the ending?
• 33:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought an half started, it was a five-star until the end, but basically this couple is going to get married and this is like a thousand years ago, and she tries to kill.
• 33:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: and they get cursed because of it and so and every they have been to they have 18 years in the next life and he kills her on her 18th birthday or around her 18th birthday and then they come back and they start from a baby and they do it all over again and she's basically trying to evade him but they come back as different people every time so she never knows who he is
• 33:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but he always finds it's like their curse so he always finds her and it's any different to or just her yet.
• 33:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: No, they both are so like he he has a they have a draw to each other So he can find her but she always tries to evade, but it could be her best friend and one might if it could be her Her boyfriend and one might if it could be the guy in the coffee shop like it's it's really really interesting And so the whole the end of the book is I'm trying to break the curse
• 33:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: What is the offer that look like?
• 33:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I've seen green in a book in the month.
• 34:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 34:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I've seen.
• 34:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's really interesting.
• 34:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: I loved it.

  [SPEAKER_03]: But nothing I've read before.
• 34:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was a standalone.
• 34:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: So it's just one and done.
• 34:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and the ending sucked it didn't suck.
• 34:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
• 34:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't like how it ended I would have just ended differently if I wrote it.
• 34:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm okay.
• 34:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's fair.
• 34:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: But the story itself was really cool Okay.
