ACOFAE Podcast presents: Serpent and Dove The experiment begins! Building off last week’s audio/traditional reading episode, Jessica Marie is reading a physical copy of Serpent and Dove and Laura Marie is listening to the audiobook to see if they come to the same conclusions about the story. It's magic, witches, the Church, stuffy men and glorious women. All the elements are there to make this a fantastic read, but is it? Mentions: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Outlander (tv series), Throne of Glass, The Originals, Rick and Morty Trigger Warnings: the patriarchy and treatment towards women *Thank you for listening to us!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: a discussion surrounding audiobooks and traditional reading Laura Marie and Jessica Marie FIRMLY believe that all reading is valid and that whatever format you use to consume a book is perfectly wonderful. However, there are people out there that say that listening to an audiobook doesn't count. Oh, the drama. In this episode passions are running HIGH. Conversations about ableism and ageism are had and points are made that might make you step back and go "huh I never thought about it like that". Don't tell Laura Marie's grandma that she wasn't reading. She'd have slapped you. Rest in Peace, Anthony Bourdain. Spoilers: No spoilers. Book mentions include The Cruel Prince , Throne of Glass , Legendborn Author Mentions include: Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Shadow Wand There is so much to say. Dragons. Assassins. Mind control. Magic. Training montage. Learning to love and accept yourself and others. Working through trauma and grief. And Laura Marie and Jessica Marie's favorite thing: awareness of the bigger picture. Book 3 of The Black Witch Chronicles has all of this and more and it is wonderful. They're worked up and talking fast about Elloren and her journey, everyone else’s journey, and there's a little mild speculation about book 4 out December 2021. Again, if you aren't ready to FIGHT then you are part of the problem! Laura Marie says Aislynn but it should be Sage- you'll know where Spoilers: No major spoilers, but mentions of ACOSF, The Cruel Prince, From Blood and Ash, Six of Crows, Game of Thrones, ACOTAR, Heir of Fire Trigger Warnings: Physical violence, suicide, mental health, domestic abuse, trauma, racism, sexism, classim *Thank you for listening to us!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Iron Flower Not an easy read but a necessary one, The Iron Flower picks up right where The Black Witch left off and instantly puts you in the center of the action. And there is A LOT of action. A dictator rises, the government is issuing sanctions, people are dying, and the points of the prophesy are revealed. We said is before and we'll say it again, if you’re not angry and ready to fight with the resistance by the end of this, we are not friends. *Please note this episode was recorded before Shadow and Bone was released on Netflix, hence the delayed reference.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Priory of the Orange Tree A long episode for a long book. This is Jessica Marie's first high fantasy book and a reread for Laura Marie and both still have questions. Priory of the Orange Tree is as beautiful as it is complex and it is indeed complex. Full of dragons, religion, pirates, mages, and Queens this book demands you sit down and pay attention.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Black Witch This one is heavy. A book and series that no one really talks about anymore, The Black Witch is full of concepts and ideas that will make you feel a certain way. The story of a sheltered girl, an oppressive society, untapped power, and shifting world views create an oppressive setting where being different is a crime and thinking outside the box is treason. If you're not screaming to join the fight at the end of this, we aren't friends.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Legendborn After DNF-ing a new release, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie needed to read something that excited, inspired, and moved them and Legendborn did exactly that! A wonderful and accurate portrayal of grief and resilience, Legendborn transported Laura and Jessica back to the South and hit home in unexpected and profound ways. Plus, there's a beautiful dark haired otherworldly boy so... they were always going to be all in! Secret societies, racism, friendship and loss are all interwoven in a story that is incredibly important and should be read by all. This is a special book.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Netflix's Shadow and Bone Everyone probably expected that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie would fall over themselves for Ben Barnes as The Darkling and everyone would be correct. Everyone also probably expected that Mal would not be a favorite and ding ding ding you would also be correct. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they compare and contrast the *show and the books * in an episode that runs a bit long and contains gushing praise for the women, the casting, the crows, and Milo.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: a discussion surrounding "morally gray" They aren't the villain. They definitely aren't the hero and they always have a plan. And usually a cool accessory too. They might not die for us but they'd kill for us and we are strangely okay with that. We're talking about morally gray characters and there are more of them than meets the eye. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they cycle through characters new and old and try to figure out who is what and why we love them so much. There's more than just Kaz, Jude, and Scythe Lucifer.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Six of Crows | Crooked Kingdom This is one that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie will have to revisit. Less of a deep dive and more of a shallow skim, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are discussing themes and tropes and not so much the plot of the duology. The love for Nina and Inej is strong as is the desire to age up these characters, because being a real life 17 and the dregs at 17 are two completely different things. This was recorded before the premier of the show and the excitement is clear toward the end. They'll take a mulligan and go deeper in a re-read for season 2, promise promise promise. *Jessie Mei Li uses she/they pronouns There are no spoilers in this episode outside of the Six of Crows Duology, but there are topics surrounding addiction, substance abuse, violence and sex work. *Thank you for listening to us!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Crown of Gilded Bones Well THAT was unexpected! Laura Marie and Jessica Marie's love for Poppy, Cas, and Kieran is back as they gasp, rant, and yell at what did and what DID NOT happen between the 3 of them. New characters and old problems clash as backstories are revealed and lies are brought to light in a way that just doesn't quite sit right. No training sequence here though! Poppy can do it on her own. Bow down to Queen Poppy. How many times can it be said? WE LOVE STRONG WOMEN. Spoilers: Characters from the worlds Sarah J.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Grishaverse Trilogy: Shadow and Bone | Siege and Storm | Ruin and Rising Have you ever read something, finished it, put it down, and then had almost no memory of what happened? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie struggle with this problem as they tackle all 3 books of the Shadow and Bone trilogy and try, really really try, to find some common ground with Alina and her choices. Fantastic supporting characters, beautiful keftas, and the hosts two LEAST FAVORITE tropes come together into a story that has all the elements of something fantastic but doesn't quite stick the landing. I am become a blade....Shut up Mal! We're all here for Ben Barnes anyway. *The show Laura Marie can't remember the name of is "The Order" on Netflix.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire How excited do you get when the name of a book is said IN THE BOOK!? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie get pretty excited. How many times does Laura Marie say " love that" in this episode? It's a lot. Come along with Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they jump right in to A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire and discuss how, maybe, “we” have become desensitized to monsters while becoming more accepting of raunchy sex immediately following a battle surrounded by guards who have advanced hearing... Daggers are flying, honeydew is in the air, and poor Kieran has to see, hear, and smell it all. "Join" ha ha Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they revisit the world of Poppy, Casteel, and Kieran in preparation for the release of A Crown of Gilded Bones. Strong capable women. We love that.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: From Blood and Ash Tropes, tropes, and more tropes! Special girl doesn't want to be special, he's sworn to protect her, she must be kept pure, he is faster than he should be, she is learning that her religion and society might be wrong, oh and there's a secret dark prince on the loose who wants to kill her.... Rebellion and temperatures are rising as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie dive into a world with monsters that they were not expecting, monsters they kind of were, and a heroine who, refreshingly, is "an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature." It's From Blood and Ash. The book that has the MC read/get caught reading a smutty diary. Because she is us. We are her. So......at what point do we all get matching dagger in a thigh sheath tattoos?

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Kingdom of Ash This episode contains TEARS. In true ACOFAE tradition, Jessica Marie finished Kingdom of Ash moments before we started recording and the feelings are REAL. It's the end of Throne of Glass and IYKYK.We are sobbing, we are smiling, we are reflecting, and most of all we are coming to terms with the fact that even though these characters aren't real they have affected us and we are changed. Let’s feel things together. Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas Chaol. Love him or hate him, we all agree that if he’s the only way to get Yrene, then yeah..ok..fine. I guess sure he can come along for the ride. The book no one and at the same time weirdly everyone wanted, it’s Tower of Dawn. We’re on the Southern Continent with the royals and the healers and we are liking it a lot. Plot out of nowhere that will shake the foundation of the other MCs, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discuss what that plot drop means for everyone, ponder if our opinions of Chaol changed, and gush about just how awesome women are. Celaena Sardothien said it best, "the world needs more healers," and that's exactly what we get here...and then some! Spoiler warnings: The worlds of Sarah J.

The book that Laura Marie can't make herself finish and the book that gave Jessica Marie a taste of what was to come, it's Empire of Storms. The plot comes together and character ships are sailing as we discuss beaches, pirates, the gods, the power, and the REALIZATION that left Jessica Marie speechless.

Our ACOTAR series recap touches on Nesta (more than we were expecting), Chapter 55, Feyre taking down the Spring Court, and popular ACOSF theories, along with our own. We also raise the questions: When is the right time to read fan fiction? What happens when the official story doesn't line up with your personal expectations and preconceived notions? and What happens when head cannon is stronger than actual cannon? *Spoiler and Trigger Warnings: * There will be spoilers in this episode specifically from the ACOTAR series, a MAJOR Crown of Midnight plot reveal, From Blood and Ash, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, and Supernatural series finale.

Hosts Laura Marie and Jessica Marie awkwardly introduce themselves and lay the foundation for future episodes by explaining why they read, what they read, and how this has changed throughout the years especially during 2020 quarantine. Future episodes will have a spoiler and trigger warning immediately after the initial opinion disclaimer. As this is the first episode and all topics are talked about in a general and broad sense the warning is not featured. *Thank you for listening to us!
