These girls got me more into podcasting and more into fantasy books. Like many, I obsessed over ACOTAR and wanted MORE!! This podcast gave me more and continues to do so as I nerd out over Romantasy novels. They help connect dots that are hard to do on a first read but that make your brain think on everything deeper. It has helped trained my reader’s brain while working through books! I’ve been listening for a couple years now and just want to say thank you to these ladies for their authenticity, brilliance, and fun. 😘

I am loving listening to the podcast in preparation for Brimstone. It’s been great for a reread - especially since I did not remember a lot since the first time I read it. However, it’s fun to theorize again and pick up on little foreshadowing right before getting the next book.

Thank you FFG for providing a community that has lifted me up and helped me appreciate books even more than I already did. These deep dives are perfection

I love this podcast. The deep dives into my favorite books help me relive and stay in these fantasy worlds. It’s a great mix of being lighthearted and deep.
I’m majorly struggling with the length of the episodes. I can’t keep committing close to 3 hours each week (sometimes more) to the episodes. I have other audiobooks I want to have more time with. I’m skipping their newest deep dive for a break to catch up on some other listening.

I loved the coverage of all three fourth wing books and, after re-reading the ACOTAR series, thought it’d be fun to give those podcast episodes a listen to as well. From the jump the vibes were incredibly different. The focus was far less on the story, plot, world building, cheering on the characters, guessing about author motives, and just overall enjoying the story for what it was.
Instead, from the beginning, which got increasingly obvious by the end of the first book, the ACOTAR coverage really focused on evaluating the actions of the characters from a moral and ethical standpoint. An inordinate amount of time was spent deciding who was right or wrong in a situation and why. And unfortunately, much of felt like it was coming from a place of moral high-ground. By ACOSF this became unbearable. The conversations barely discussed the plot and instead spent the full two hours dissecting bits of dialogue and shaming the characters. The toxicity of the fandom has fully bled into the coverage and it hit a point where I was dreading having to start a new episode. Unfortunately, the need to please and/or not piss off varying subsets of the fandom became the third person in the room.
In sum, this went from fun, book club vibes, to airing out personal grievances against fictional characters. And worse, the discussions became incredibly inequitable, giving certain characters the benefit of the doubt or overlooking sects of unfavorable dialogue, but holding other characters to higher standards or ignoring (or not caring about) important context. Listening became incredibly miserable and truthfully just uncomfortable- like I was listening to fictional characters be scolded like children. I’m sad but there are plenty of competing podcasts who are more fair and don’t act with an air of moral superiority.

Too cutesy, too high pitched. I want to like this podcast, but this pair is too scripted and high energy. I’m exhausted listening to them. The cackling is way over the top and seems like ads are half the show.
