1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,810
Speaker 1: Coming up on Relatables Baddies Book Club.

2
00:00:01,990 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: She smells dead witch on Manon. And she says, she's like, you're.

3
00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:11,380
Speaker 1: A witch killer. You bitch. You're a witch killer. And

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,820
Speaker 1: then Manon lies.

5
00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:17,070
Speaker 2: And she says that she was attacked by the Yellowlegs witch.

6
00:00:17,710 --> 00:00:20,270
Speaker 2: And that she was doing it because the Yellowlegs wanted

7
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:22,530
Speaker 2: to kill Dorian while Manon wanted to get Dorian alive

8
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: and the Yellowlegs Coven Witch was trying to steal Manon's thunder.

9
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:29,780
Speaker 3: Welcome to Relatable's Baddies Book Club, where we will embark

10
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,300
Speaker 3: on a journey reading some of the finest pieces of

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,949
Speaker 3: literature you have ever laid eyes, or ears, if that's

12
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:36,810
Speaker 3: your preferred way to consume a book, on.

13
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:41,690
Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Empire of Storms, chapters

14
00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:46,580
Speaker 1: 0 to 20. Woo-hoo! Here we go, eh? Question to start.

15
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:46,940
Speaker 3: Yeah.

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: Fuck, that's a big book. It's thick, eh? Because I'm

17
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,020
Speaker 1: on the Kindle. I just, I don't see. So, did

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: you get on the Kindle the nightfall bit at the start? Maybe.

19
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,220
Speaker 1: Can you tell me what it is? There was like

20
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:02,780
Speaker 1: a meeting at the start between like Selena, Elaine, Princess Elaine,

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,170
Speaker 1: and then the king was there too, I think, or

22
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:07,870
Speaker 1: someone else. It was wigging me out. I didn't know

23
00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:10,190
Speaker 1: what was going on. It was the very start and

24
00:01:10,209 --> 00:01:12,730
Speaker 1: then it gets into Empire of Storms and then I

25
00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:14,530
Speaker 1: understood what was going on. It's just like a little-

26
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,170
Speaker 1: I don't know, a prequel of something? It was wigging

27
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:18,970
Speaker 1: me out by day. I was like, I don't understand.

28
00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:21,729
Speaker 1: I was like, should I understand? I actually have been...

29
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:22,869
Speaker 1: Do you know what?

30
00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: For some reason, I seem to remember this. I do

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: think I read it. Do you remember what it was about?

32
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:31,820
Speaker 2: I feel like I smashed through these chapters and then

33
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:33,940
Speaker 2: waited a few days, so I've forgotten.

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,700
Speaker 1: It was like a meeting between them all, and then

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Selena was all cocky, and she's fully the queen now.

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,970
Speaker 1: It was like in the future. Oh, okay. I don't

37
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: remember that. Maybe I don't have it. Gavin's there. No,

38
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:48,980
Speaker 1: I don't remember this. I didn't read this. The Dark Lord.

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,610
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. Someone tell me what's going on.

40
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:53,270
Speaker 1: It seems like it was in the future. And then

41
00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:55,910
Speaker 1: we jumped back to the start. Because I was like, fuck,

42
00:01:55,930 --> 00:01:57,990
Speaker 1: have I missed something? And I'm like, I haven't concentrated

43
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:02,270
Speaker 1: for ages. I was like, what's going on? No, I

44
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:06,250
Speaker 1: didn't get that in the Kindle. Fucking dogs. I need

45
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:09,750
Speaker 1: to start reading the books. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

46
00:02:09,770 --> 00:02:11,650
Speaker 1: Do you like it? Yeah, good. A little bit slow,

47
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:16,330
Speaker 1: but no, it's good. I'm enjoying the Lorcan... Kind of

48
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:18,910
Speaker 1: parts as well. I reckon he's cool. His character development

49
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:20,250
Speaker 1: is going to be sick. He is going to be

50
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:22,690
Speaker 1: such a good bloke. You can already see. Oh, bro.

51
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:24,670
Speaker 1: You can tell it's in him. I like that. He's

52
00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: kind of giving the Lucian of this book. Also. Well,

53
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: you know what? Actually, yeah.

54
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 2: Just like loyal to some fucking shit tyrant.

55
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: And, you know, trying to do his best to probably

57
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:38,180
Speaker 2: tread a line between good and bad. But anyway, I

58
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:41,260
Speaker 2: saw a comment. Number one, the reason Lorcan went back

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,100
Speaker 2: and ended up helping them fight the word hounds.

60
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Because... Number one, he was on his way

61
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: to go check if his trap worked, right?

62
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:54,420
Speaker 2: And then number two, the reason he stayed and helped

63
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: fight was because he smelt that Adion was Gavriel's son.

64
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:03,650
Speaker 2: And he said that he could not look Gavriel in

65
00:03:03,669 --> 00:03:06,950
Speaker 2: the face knowing he left his son to die.

66
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:10,050
Speaker 1: And so someone commented that. Someone commented that. Where was that?

67
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,910
Speaker 1: Was that in the book? Yeah, yeah. And actually, I

68
00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:14,970
Speaker 1: think it was in the book and we just completely forgot.

69
00:03:15,290 --> 00:03:19,820
Speaker 2: But then, and then another thing was, oh, Lorcan, he

70
00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:20,590
Speaker 2: is the leader.

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,500
Speaker 1: Of the Cordray. Yeah.

72
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: And Rowan was just, like, his best. He trained Rowan.

73
00:03:26,419 --> 00:03:28,660
Speaker 2: And Rowan's just, like, the second best, I guess, out

74
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,780
Speaker 2: of the whole Cordray. And Lorcan is the leader.

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. To me, it seems like Lorcan's up here. And after, like,

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: getting to know Rowan. When we first met Rowan, I

77
00:03:36,260 --> 00:03:39,500
Speaker 1: was thinking Rowan was up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rowan's fucking, like,

78
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:43,370
Speaker 1: down here, eh? Softie, eh? Nah, nah. Wait, wait. When

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,970
Speaker 1: he goes. Obviously, we'll get to it. But when the

80
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:47,930
Speaker 1: witches go sack, you know.

81
00:03:47,950 --> 00:03:48,030
Speaker 3: Yeah.

82
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: City and he goes in and he just like straight

83
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: up kills a couple wyverns and which is no no

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,900
Speaker 2: problem after flying for two days straight and then he's

85
00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: about to fucking kill manon i was thinking bro this

86
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,180
Speaker 2: guy is a beast because manon's got her magic back

87
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: and she's a beast manon is a beast so anyway

88
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,390
Speaker 2: well well yeah look i'm pretty happy i'm keen i

89
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:09,870

Speaker 2: and um i was reading i finished chapter 20 and

91
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:13,570
Speaker 2: then i went to just keep reading because like i

92
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:15,250
Speaker 2: just was reading and i thought oh i just got

00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:18,979
Speaker 2: about it don't worry about it And then I go

00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: and I click on next page, finish chapter 20, keen

96
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: as to read the next chapter because it leaves, you know,

97
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: a little bit of a cliffhanger.

98
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,260
Speaker 1: And then it says chapter 21. And I was like, oh,

99
00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:32,210
Speaker 1: fuck my life. Genuinely, I like didn't read, I didn't

100
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:34,609
Speaker 1: read Crescent City. I didn't read anything else apart. And

101
00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:35,909
Speaker 1: then a couple of days later, I started reading this

102
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:40,420
Speaker 1: different book, Luke Bateman fucking recommended about patriarchy. And it's like,

103
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,979
Speaker 1: I was just so upset. I was like, I just,

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,589
Speaker 1: I need to read that. Yeah. Mate, well, we're here.

105
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:48,190
Speaker 1: Book Club is starting, so we can continue to read

106
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: after this episode. Bro, I'm so fucking excited. So, let's

107
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: see how we go.

108
00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see how we go. We'll try and do

109
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: our best, but let's get into the recap. Chapter one,

110
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,300
Speaker 2: we get an elite chapter.

111
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,289
Speaker 1: In the audio book, is it elite? Yeah. Yeah. So,

112
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:04,810
Speaker 1: we've got an elite chapter. Kind of, actually, you know what?

113
00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:09,710
Speaker 1: In the beginning, her chapters were boring. But in the

114
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:11,470
Speaker 1: first 20 chapters of this book, I think they've been

115
00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: quite interesting. I like them. I would agree, too. I'm

116
00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:17,219
Speaker 1: actually looking forward to them. And I like the dynamic.

117
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: The dynamic's cool. Because both of them are in these

118
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,670
Speaker 1: chapters now. That's why I like them. It's kind of like,

119
00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:28,610
Speaker 1: not underdog. It's not quite the right word, but they're

120
00:05:28,650 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: both like... They're not the big teams. No, no, no, true.

121
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,990
Speaker 1: They're like side characters. They're like, run solo, run solo,

122
00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:36,820
Speaker 1: now they're together.

123
00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:39,570
Speaker 2: They would have hectic episodes if it was a TV series.

124
00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:40,850
Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%.

125
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:42,830
Speaker 2: You get the episodes with Aelin and Rowan and that,

126
00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:45,050
Speaker 2: and you think, yeah, this is hectic, blah, blah, blah.

127
00:05:45,370 --> 00:05:47,770
Speaker 2: But then you get like, it's kind of like maybe

128
00:05:48,010 --> 00:05:49,330
Speaker 2: in Game of Thrones when you just get like a

129
00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:52,529
Speaker 2: Tyrion Lannister episode. You're just like, oh, this is sick,

130
00:05:52,589 --> 00:05:53,469
Speaker 2: like side quest.

131
00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:57,230
Speaker 1: Fucking let's go do some hectic shit, bro. Agreed, agreed, agreed. Anywho,

132
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:58,510
Speaker 1: so a lead.

133
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,780
Speaker 2: She's been, one thing we forgot to mention is that

134
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,820
Speaker 2: Manon gave her, no, no, no. So when Kautain gave

135
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:07,450
Speaker 2: her the word key, she folded it in a little

136
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:11,070
Speaker 2: bit of the cloak that Selene gave her when Kautain

137
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:12,830
Speaker 2: was in the dungeons and she was freezing cold.

138
00:06:12,850 --> 00:06:15,890
Speaker 1: You remember that? Yeah. One thing we forgot to mention.

139
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: Is Kautain says to a lead, take this key and

140
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,140
Speaker 2: find Selene Sardothien.

141
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Okay.

142
00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:24,970
Speaker 2: This is the only person you can trust. And it's

143
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:27,230
Speaker 2: the only person that I trust with this key. Tell

144
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:33,570
Speaker 2: her this key opens any door, right? Now, Elid's like,

145
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: who the fuck is Selina? And so it's really annoying

146
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: that we're like literally Aelin. And then she said, Kaltan

147
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:46,219
Speaker 2: says to tell Selina that to just like, I think

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: she just says like, you know, kill them all, burn

149
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,300
Speaker 2: the world or whatever. And she said, especially tell her

150
00:06:50,339 --> 00:06:53,370
Speaker 2: that they didn't let me take her cloak when they

151
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:55,969
Speaker 2: took me. Which is just going to like piss Aileen

152
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,490
Speaker 2: off because she's like, I gave her that cloak for warmth.

153
00:06:59,430 --> 00:07:02,630
Speaker 1: I saw a comment actually. And someone was angry at

154
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:05,870
Speaker 1: us when we still reference Aileen as Selena because of

155
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:08,510
Speaker 1: like her growth. And now she's claimed the name is Aileen.

156
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:11,620
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know. She's still pretty Selena.

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Like people still reference her here and there as Selena.

158
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,220
Speaker 1: I feel like you can go either way. I mean,

159
00:07:16,540 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: why are they angry at us? I don't know. I

160
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:23,050
Speaker 1: read it as... That whole dialogue where Selene is like,

161
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:26,130
Speaker 1: I am Aelin Galathin. Selene is not who I am.

162
00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:28,850
Speaker 1: I found my identity kind of bullshit in the last book.

163
00:07:28,910 --> 00:07:32,670
Speaker 1: Give us a minute. Yeah, it was like three books

164
00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: about Selene. It was like four, bro. It's like the podcast.

165
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: It's four years of me saying my name's Oddie and

166
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:42,020
Speaker 1: then now I'm Otway and I expect everyone to call

167
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: me Otway. You're like, I am now? I've shed the

168
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,980
Speaker 1: skin of Oddie and I am now Otway. No one

169
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,420
Speaker 1: may call me that. Yeah.

170
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to be like, it's fucking Oddie and Jake.

171
00:07:54,220 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: And then you're going to be like, what did I say?

172
00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: Cunt. But anyway, so yeah. How about give us a

173
00:08:04,460 --> 00:08:07,550
Speaker 1: fucking break? Yeah. All right.

174
00:08:07,630 --> 00:08:10,190
Speaker 2: Anywho, so those are the things we forgot about. But yes,

175
00:08:10,210 --> 00:08:13,090
Speaker 2: we're getting a lead chapter. She's in Oakwood Forest and

176
00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:17,660
Speaker 2: she's struggling. She is struggling in her quarters. Also, how

177
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:18,870
Speaker 2: do you picture her ankle?

178
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,250
Speaker 1: Just like, I don't, like, cause she can't walk properly,

179
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:26,490
Speaker 1: but then she hides her limb. Bro, I like straight

180
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:29,610
Speaker 1: up picture her ankle being like her foot being bent

181
00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:31,870
Speaker 1: on a right angle degree. And she just walks on

182
00:08:31,910 --> 00:08:33,140
Speaker 1: her ankle. That's how I picture it.

183
00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: Because they said it's like the most mangled looking leg.

184
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:37,380
Speaker 2: But then they also say that a lead is like,

185
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:39,580
Speaker 2: is like this. She's actually quite beautiful.

186
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:43,260
Speaker 1: Right and she's got these nice big breasts they mention

187
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,140
Speaker 1: her breasts for some reason she tries to hide them

188
00:08:45,179 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: but she's got these big breasts and curves or whatever

189
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,090
Speaker 1: and so she's quite beautiful but whenever they.

190
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:54,550
Speaker 2: Whenever she talks about herself and hiding her beauty and

191
00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:57,110
Speaker 2: the fact that she's a cripple i don't know why

192
00:08:57,130 --> 00:08:58,949
Speaker 2: this is very terrible for me but when i hear

193
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:00,190
Speaker 2: cripple i just think.

194
00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:02,930
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what i mean i think you know

195
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:06,860
Speaker 1: you can't when i think cripple i remember in um

196
00:09:08,620 --> 00:09:13,059
Speaker 1: What's it called? Ragnar Lothbrok. What's that called? Viking. Viking. Yeah,

197
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:14,939
Speaker 1: when his kid comes out of cripple. That's what I

198
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: think when you say cripple.

199
00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:16,770
Speaker 3: Yes, bro.

200
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I think as well. But her ankle,

201
00:09:19,950 --> 00:09:23,090
Speaker 1: I'm thinking just like I've pictured like mad swollen and black.

202
00:09:23,170 --> 00:09:25,390
Speaker 1: Like it's just really badly sprained and you're meant to

203
00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:26,650
Speaker 1: stay off it for like a week, but you're just

204
00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:27,630
Speaker 1: still walking on it vibes.

205
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:31,210
Speaker 2: Oh, I straight up am thinking like bent to the side,

206
00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:32,429
Speaker 2: just fucked up.

207
00:09:32,490 --> 00:09:34,470
Speaker 1: To be fair, it said mangled and like, yeah, the

208
00:09:34,490 --> 00:09:35,270
Speaker 1: worst it's ever seen.

209
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: But so she's, She's just still thinking about this debt.

210
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:41,500
Speaker 2: She's got to repay to Kauten. She owes her a

211
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: life debt. She still has the stone. And she has

212
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: the sense someone is following her. She gets that sense.

213
00:09:47,540 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: You know, she's also starving, eating berries, doing her best

214
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,689
Speaker 2: to stay alive. She doesn't really know where she's going.

215
00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:53,010
Speaker 1: She's following the sun.

216
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:56,010
Speaker 2: Well, she's using the sun for her directions but then

217
00:09:56,110 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: same chapter we get a lorkhan is it salvatier we

218
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: did his last name but who cares his name's lorkhan

219
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,140
Speaker 2: lorkhan and so he is being hunted by witches because

220
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,420
Speaker 2: he killed like four witches or some shit and then

221
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: he interrogated one and got all this info about what's

222
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:17,190
Speaker 2: happening so he's so he knows um That there's two

223
00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:20,250
Speaker 2: witch armies, one in Morath and one at the Faerian Gap.

224
00:10:20,450 --> 00:10:24,250
Speaker 2: He knows that they're fighting for, you know, the side

225
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:29,130
Speaker 2: of which he probably is against. And that the witches,

226
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:29,569
Speaker 2: they don't know.

227
00:10:29,530 --> 00:10:30,429
Speaker 1: About the word keys.

228
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: He still thinks he has the word key that Rowan

229
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,340
Speaker 2: gave him that actually just has one of the rings

230
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,540
Speaker 2: in it. He still thinks that's a word key. And

231
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: then he talks about how he's been following this girl, Elide.

232
00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:43,860
Speaker 2: He doesn't know her name, but he's been following this

233
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:47,100
Speaker 2: girl and he thinks that because she's wearing witch flight

234
00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: leathers and also smells like a witch, he thinks that

235
00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: she is possessed by a Valg. And so he's hunting.

236
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:56,130
Speaker 2: He says she doesn't move like it, but she smells

237
00:10:56,190 --> 00:10:59,590
Speaker 2: like it because she's been around it. And so he

238
00:10:59,650 --> 00:11:02,309
Speaker 2: basically is just going to, he's like, I'll just hunt

239
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:03,650
Speaker 2: her for a bit and see what happens, see where

240
00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:04,150
Speaker 2: she leads me.

241
00:11:04,270 --> 00:11:10,690
Speaker 1: Chapter two. Back with Aelin. Happy guys? Aelin. Fuck you.

242
00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to start calling her Selena on purpose. Back

243
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: with Aelin and crew. So Aelin is with Adion, Rowan, Evangeline,

244
00:11:20,660 --> 00:11:26,530
Speaker 2: and Lysandra. And they're on their way through. They're in Tarasin.

245
00:11:26,590 --> 00:11:27,230
Speaker 1: We all know that.

246
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:31,050
Speaker 2: And she's chilling and she's having a good time. She's

247
00:11:31,070 --> 00:11:33,050
Speaker 2: thinking about how this is her new family.

248
00:11:33,130 --> 00:11:34,180
Speaker 1: It's cool. It's this.

249
00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:36,550
Speaker 2: She has some thinking thoughts. And we get, like, a

250
00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:39,370
Speaker 2: kissing scene between her and Rowan. And he just is

251
00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: constantly talking about how, like, when I bed you, it's

252
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: going to be in a bed, not in the forest.

253
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:45,260
Speaker 2: And they just have been talking about fucking a lot.

254
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: But also, they haven't showered for, like, a month.

255
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I just want them to fucking get

256
00:11:52,570 --> 00:11:54,209
Speaker 1: it over with. But I know it's not going to happen.

257
00:11:54,330 --> 00:11:57,429
Speaker 1: Why was this book written in PG? I don't know.

258
00:11:57,610 --> 00:11:58,390
Speaker 1: Maybe a bit younger.

259
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:01,929
Speaker 2: Oh, fuck. I've spilled smoothie all over me somewhere. I, like, sprayed.

260
00:12:01,970 --> 00:12:06,110
Speaker 1: Anyway... Yeah, I don't know. And I'm not getting like...

261
00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like.

262
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,460
Speaker 1: Do you get... So, in A Court of Silver Flames, right?

263
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,739
Speaker 1: I felt the sexual tension. You're not feeling it here.

264
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,579
Speaker 1: I don't feel it here. It feels forced. Ooh, forced.

265
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: I was going to use that word as well. Yeah,

266
00:12:28,990 --> 00:12:33,689
Speaker 1: good point. I... Maybe because it's not written from a

267
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:37,130
Speaker 1: sexual POV at all, maybe that's why we aren't connecting

268
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:41,430
Speaker 1: the dots there. Yeah. Crescent City. There's no chemistry.

269
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,699
Speaker 2: The sexual tension in Crescent City between Bryce and Hunt

270
00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:49,479
Speaker 2: is like, you've never read anything like it.

271
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,140
Speaker 1: It's almost like, I don't know if this is how

272
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,610
Speaker 1: she did it, but she wrote this with zero sexual

273
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,850
Speaker 1: tension in it at all. And she went and wrote ACOTAR.

274
00:12:59,230 --> 00:12:59,370
Speaker 2: Yeah.

275
00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:01,530
Speaker 1: Which is really, really sexual. And then she came back

276
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:03,069
Speaker 1: and finished this, which I don't think is the order

277
00:13:03,090 --> 00:13:04,250
Speaker 1: she did it, but this is how it seemed like.

278
00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:06,089
Speaker 1: And then she goes, oh, it would be nice if

279
00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:07,590
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of sex in there, but

280
00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:09,070
Speaker 1: I can't really add anything. Yeah.

281
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:11,250
Speaker 2: She's like, I need to keep it fucking, who knows? Anyway,

282
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:12,710
Speaker 2: I'm just, I was going to say, I'm not feeling

283
00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:16,150
Speaker 2: any tension between Aelin. I felt more tension between Selina

284
00:13:16,290 --> 00:13:17,350
Speaker 2: and Kale. Yeah.

285
00:13:17,390 --> 00:13:20,189
Speaker 1: Well, then we find out that Selina was a bit off.

286
00:13:20,290 --> 00:13:23,350
Speaker 1: Was it true that Rowan was married to someone else

287
00:13:23,410 --> 00:13:26,460
Speaker 1: and she died? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, like, Selena's a bit

288
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,380
Speaker 1: off that. I don't even know if they're going to

289
00:13:28,460 --> 00:13:29,860
Speaker 1: stay together for the long run. I don't know if

290
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: they are made a day, those two. Do you think

291
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: they are? Rowan and Selena? Yeah. Bro. I reckon it's

292
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,420
Speaker 1: something else, hey? Nah, bro.

293
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,980
Speaker 2: They, you can't, they can't, nah, there's no way she's

294
00:13:41,059 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: moving on again.

295
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're mated for sure. I don't think

296
00:13:46,220 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: they are. I don't think they're mated. I think it's

297
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: something else. They're connected, but they're not mated.

298
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:55,500
Speaker 2: I agree to disagree on that one.

299
00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:57,420
Speaker 1: If she moves on, I'm not going to be mad,

300
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: but I'm just going to be like... It's giving fucking...

301
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: Who with? It's giving Tamlin and Feyre at the start

302
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. Not toxicity, but their love is an

303
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:10,420
Speaker 1: actual proper love. Nah, bro, that's not true.

304
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,420
Speaker 2: Her love with Kale, she literally, her love with Kale

305
00:14:13,460 --> 00:14:14,140
Speaker 2: wasn't proper love.

306
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:14,860
Speaker 1: True, true, true.

307
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,100
Speaker 2: Because he explains what being a mate is like, because

308
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: he explained how he felt with his mate. And then

309
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, I never felt that with Kale.

310
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,020
Speaker 1: Yeah. She feels it with this guy. I think Manon

311
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: and Dorian are mated. 100%, bro. I think they're mated.

312
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:27,970
Speaker 3: 100%.

313
00:14:27,970 --> 00:14:30,790
Speaker 1: See the chemistry difference there, Bart? Like fucking Rowan and

314
00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:33,950
Speaker 1: Selena look like when they see each other naked, they go, oh. Yeah.

315
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,030
Speaker 1: You know what it is? It's this. This is why.

316
00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:39,750
Speaker 2: Rowan and Selena are friends turned lovers.

317
00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: True. They didn't like each other at the start.

318
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: Then they grew to like each other.

319
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: True. Because they were just together for so long. It's

320
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,450
Speaker 1: that proximity thing, and you know I don't like that.

321
00:14:49,490 --> 00:14:51,510
Speaker 1: Maybe that's where you're coming from. Yeah, you don't like

322
00:14:51,530 --> 00:14:54,550
Speaker 1: the proximity thing. Maybe I don't either. This is proof

323
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:58,210
Speaker 1: I don't. Because I don't ship them. I don't ship

324
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:00,990
Speaker 1: them anyway. Yeah, I think that's it. You know when

325
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:02,710
Speaker 1: you see a couple out, and they're like, oh, we're

326
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:04,420
Speaker 1: so in love, and then you go talk to your girlfriend,

327
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, fuck, they were weird, and they didn't

328
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: even seem like they liked each other. Yes, it's that. Literally.

329
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Fucking literally. All right. Chapter three.

330
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: All right.

331
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:20,430
Speaker 2: Chapter three, long chapter, but it's actually a lot, it's

332
00:15:20,450 --> 00:15:24,770
Speaker 2: pretty simple. So we've got a man on chapter and

333
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:30,850
Speaker 2: it is, she's been summoned into, so Morath has been destroyed,

334
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,830
Speaker 2: as we remember a part of it. She's been summoned

335
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:35,930
Speaker 2: into fucking, what's his name? Well, it's just Erewhon now.

336
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:38,380
Speaker 2: It's just Erewhon. It doesn't, it's not even the other guy.

337
00:15:38,630 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: I forgot his name, loser. And summoned into his office.

338
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,390
Speaker 2: Her mom, her grandmother is there. I know Grandmother suspects

339
00:15:47,450 --> 00:15:52,590
Speaker 2: that Manon is the one behind destroying Morath. She's like,

340
00:15:52,610 --> 00:15:54,910
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about, whatever. And also,

341
00:15:54,930 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: Erewhon is in a new body. Young, handsome man. He's

342
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,900
Speaker 2: chosen a young, handsome man. And he's kind of like, look,

343
00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:06,479
Speaker 2: it's not really worth hiding it anymore. And being in

344
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,580
Speaker 2: whatever his name is. was his body for fucking so long.

345
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,340
Speaker 1: It was just disgusting. Oh, Duke Parrington, bro. He's just...

346
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: That guy was disgusting. Absolutely gross.

347
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: So, obviously, he's killed that body, I would assume. But

348
00:16:19,180 --> 00:16:20,260
Speaker 2: he's got another new body.

349
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,260
Speaker 1: Do you reckon Duke's just gone, though? I reckon. Unless

350
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:25,110
Speaker 1: he put a vowed prince in him. I reckon he's

351
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:25,930
Speaker 1: still hanging about, eh? Yeah.

352
00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:26,070
Speaker 3: Unless.

353
00:16:26,290 --> 00:16:27,740
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might have put a vowed prince in him.

354
00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:29,290
Speaker 1: He would have something to do with Dorian and, like,

355
00:16:29,310 --> 00:16:32,490
Speaker 1: redemption for the king's story in the end. Yeah, okay. Fair, fair, fair.

356
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:37,950
Speaker 2: And then what Erewhon is saying is that he has

357
00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:42,790
Speaker 2: a mission... a man on and that mission is you

358
00:16:42,810 --> 00:16:45,070
Speaker 2: need to go and you need to take rift halt

359
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:48,770
Speaker 2: for me she goes is that a good idea and

360
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:53,470
Speaker 2: he's like don't talk back bitch you're going so he's

361
00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:57,230
Speaker 2: also sent a yellow legs crew coven whatever they're called

362
00:16:57,330 --> 00:17:00,870
Speaker 2: from from the ferry and gap right and it's the

363
00:17:00,930 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: yellow legs air with her with her crew with her

364
00:17:04,130 --> 00:17:07,570
Speaker 2: wing or whatever it's called and He says, she's already

365
00:17:07,609 --> 00:17:10,150
Speaker 2: on her way. You guys need to go get there,

366
00:17:10,190 --> 00:17:11,770
Speaker 2: you know, and just get me the city.

367
00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:12,570
Speaker 1: That's all I want.

368
00:17:12,670 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: Make sure you destroy the big glass wall that Aelin

369
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: Galathinia has made because if that comes down, they will

370
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: all be broken. Also, he says, I want the king.

371
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: I want the king brought back to me alive.

372
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Alive, I tell you.

373
00:17:28,970 --> 00:17:34,949
Speaker 2: Anyway, cool. And then we talked to Ghislaine. And so,

374
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:40,300
Speaker 2: Ghislaine is... the witch that grew up in the human school,

375
00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: so she knows a bit of the history. And Manon

376
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,510
Speaker 2: asks what she knows of Erowyn. So Erowyn is one

377
00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:50,090
Speaker 2: of three Vowed Kings that came to the continent.

378
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:50,830
Speaker 1: Back in the day.

379
00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:54,210
Speaker 2: Two of them were sent back to whatever world they're from,

380
00:17:55,230 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: whatever dimension. And then Erowyn, he stayed. And he basically,

381
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:06,300
Speaker 2: so he fled the continent when Maeve and Brannan defeated

382
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: him And he spent a thousand years rebuilding his numbers

383
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: up until this point. And, oh no, sorry. He spent

384
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:18,699
Speaker 2: a thousand years rebuilding his numbers. He then launched another attack.

385
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,390
Speaker 2: And I think then Gavin and Elena had to fight him.

386
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:25,590
Speaker 2: And that's what was at the very beginning of the book.

387
00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:27,209
Speaker 2: And I do remember it now. It was Gavin and

388
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:29,369
Speaker 2: Elena about to go into a battle and everyone was

389
00:18:29,390 --> 00:18:30,169
Speaker 2: going to die, correct?

390
00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:30,770
Speaker 1: Yeah.

391
00:18:31,070 --> 00:18:34,820
Speaker 2: And then she says, no one has to die. Come

392
00:18:34,859 --> 00:18:38,070
Speaker 2: with me. And what they go do... They don't say it,

393
00:18:38,109 --> 00:18:40,230
Speaker 2: but what they go do is they basically trap him

394
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:41,290
Speaker 2: using the eye of Elena.

395
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:44,990
Speaker 1: Do you remember how he was asleep? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

396
00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:48,010
Speaker 2: And then Duke Parrington and the king wake him up again.

397
00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Is that what the start is? The start is. That's

398
00:18:51,060 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: what the start is. Okay.

399
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,140
Speaker 2: So the start was back in the day, like way

400
00:18:55,180 --> 00:18:57,020
Speaker 2: back in the day when Elena was still alive.

401
00:18:57,540 --> 00:18:58,300
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

402
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:58,900
Speaker 2: Yeah.

403
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,580
Speaker 1: I think I had to be like, I think you

404
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,300
Speaker 1: have to be read audio book. Either I'm dumb or

405
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: I could not fucking clock. I went and listened to

406
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: it twice, what was going on. And I'm like, what

407
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: the fuck's going on? Yeah, no. Confusing, but I remember

408
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,300
Speaker 1: reading that now. Okay, I'm with you.

409
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: Anyway, look. That's what we know about Erwin. And he's

410
00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: just a fucking.

411
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: We hate his guts. We just hate his guts. Chapter four.

412
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: This chapter pisses me off. Pisses me off.

00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: the meeting whole crew's there we got murtog I don't

426
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:11,900
Speaker 2: know if that's how you say his name. But he's

427
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:13,850
Speaker 2: the old fella that was a big part of Heir

428
00:20:13,869 --> 00:20:17,530
Speaker 2: of Fire. His grandson, Ren, who was a big part

429
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:18,310
Speaker 2: of Heir of Fire as well.

430
00:20:19,390 --> 00:20:22,350
Speaker 1: And then we've got... Side note, sorry, keep your thoughts.

431
00:20:22,609 --> 00:20:25,170
Speaker 1: Ren for a girl's name. I love that, eh? Same,

432
00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:27,369
Speaker 1: but Ren's a boy. Yeah, no, but if I had

433
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:28,830
Speaker 1: a daughter, Ren, I reckon that's sick. I like the

434
00:20:28,869 --> 00:20:31,550
Speaker 1: name Ren. I like the name Ren. Ren Clark. Oh,

435
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:33,010
Speaker 1: that's a good name. I like that.

436
00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: And so, Aelin recognizes Murtaugh and Ren from... the scene

437
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: where she goes and saves Kale when the rebels catch him.

438
00:20:42,330 --> 00:20:44,550
Speaker 1: That was ages ago. It's like book two. Holy shit.

439
00:20:44,590 --> 00:20:52,070
Speaker 1: It feels like a lifetime ago. Anyway, but Darrow, fucking Darrow,

440
00:20:52,130 --> 00:20:54,170
Speaker 1: which is so annoying that his name is Darrow because

441
00:20:54,210 --> 00:20:56,889
Speaker 1: the main character of Red Rising's name is Darrow. And

442
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:57,910
Speaker 1: I love Darrow.

443
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:00,740
Speaker 2: The main character of Red Rising is amazing. He puts

444
00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:01,179
Speaker 2: respect on the name.

445
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,020
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say annoying because Darrow

446
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: sounds like Darrow. No, no, no, bro.

447
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,540
Speaker 2: The Red Rising's main character is named Darrow. This guy

448
00:21:09,619 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 2: puts disrespect on the name Darrow.

449
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:16,930
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Disrespect. This guy is a Darrow. Fuck

450
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:17,930
Speaker 1: this guy. Anywho.

451
00:21:18,450 --> 00:21:21,190
Speaker 2: So, Aelin's uncle was the king of Tarasin.

452
00:21:21,210 --> 00:21:21,810
Speaker 1: Yeah.

453
00:21:22,130 --> 00:21:24,850
Speaker 2: And so, she is the only living bloodline relative. That's

454
00:21:24,869 --> 00:21:26,790
Speaker 2: why she is the princess in the air. And so,

455
00:21:27,410 --> 00:21:31,370
Speaker 2: her uncle was actually, I believe, it says in here. So,

456
00:21:31,410 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: he was a gay man and Darrow was his lover.

457
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: And Darrow has spent... the last 10 years doing everything

458
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: he possibly can for terrison so it's like i can

459
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,580
Speaker 2: sort of see where he's coming from but also you

460
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,369
Speaker 2: don't have to be a cunt you know big one

461
00:21:47,150 --> 00:21:51,830
Speaker 2: anyway basically he just is saying all this gnarly stuff

462
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:56,619
Speaker 2: he's like who the hell are you who have you

463
00:21:56,660 --> 00:22:00,950
Speaker 2: you've been fucking Going around Riftold enjoying the riches for

464
00:22:00,950 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: 10 years and now you want to come back and

465
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: be queen?

466
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:07,180
Speaker 1: Like, nah. You bring one of these Fae up in here,

467
00:22:07,220 --> 00:22:08,900
Speaker 1: how do we know he can be trusted? He might

468
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,340
Speaker 1: be serving Maeve herself. I'm with him, mate. And I

469
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: was like... Rowan can't be trusted.

470
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,770
Speaker 2: Fuck this guy. He's talking shit to Aedion. She introduces

471
00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:23,290
Speaker 2: Lysandra as Lady Lysandra of fucking the... She names it

472
00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:24,250
Speaker 2: Carveria or whatever.

473
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:24,530
Speaker 1: Caravere.

474
00:22:25,950 --> 00:22:27,910
Speaker 2: Darrow's like, there is no Kara over here. Aelin goes,

475
00:22:27,930 --> 00:22:29,990
Speaker 2: there is now. Darrow goes, no, there's not.

476
00:22:30,010 --> 00:22:31,810
Speaker 1: I was like, who are you?

477
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:33,310
Speaker 3: Who are you?

478
00:22:33,330 --> 00:22:36,649
Speaker 1: He didn't say something like, and you bring a whore

479
00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: in here too or something. He did, yeah. He's like,

480
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:41,220
Speaker 1: you bring a whore in here. You bring this whore

481
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,220
Speaker 1: in here. Like, bro, for fuck's sakes.

482
00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:49,139
Speaker 2: And then, look, it is just like the most jarring

483
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,220
Speaker 2: chapter to read because of like, we've obviously read this

484
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:55,780
Speaker 2: entire journey that Aelin's gone through.

485
00:22:56,340 --> 00:22:57,380
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.

486
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,129
Speaker 2: To get to this point, she didn't want to be queen.

487
00:23:00,490 --> 00:23:02,630
Speaker 2: She didn't want to save the fucking continent. She didn't

488
00:23:02,670 --> 00:23:03,909
Speaker 2: want to do any of that. And then she's like,

489
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:05,550
Speaker 2: I'll do it. I'll do it for Nehemia.

490
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:06,970
Speaker 1: And then she's like, I'll do it and I'll do

491
00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: it for myself. I'll do it for everyone I love.

492
00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:10,500
Speaker 1: I'll do it for this. I'll do it for that.

493
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: And so she's like.

494
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,659
Speaker 2: Grown to this point where she's going to be obviously

495
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,770
Speaker 2: a great queen. And then this dumb old fuck named Darrow,

496
00:23:19,290 --> 00:23:22,409
Speaker 2: who's the Lord of fucking some shitty piece of land.

497
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:24,850
Speaker 2: in Tarasin, even though I think it's the biggest piece

498
00:23:24,869 --> 00:23:28,090
Speaker 2: of land anyway. And he's like, this guy, she has

499
00:23:28,130 --> 00:23:30,820
Speaker 2: all these inner monologue moments of like, not, she's like,

500
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: I want to kill this guy, but I.

501
00:23:31,859 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: Can't type of thing.

502
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,540
Speaker 2: Right. And so basically at the end, it comes to

503
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,540
Speaker 2: this point where he has a written signed documents from

504
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: the majority of the Lords of Tarasin that they don't

505
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,340
Speaker 2: recognize her as queen. He says, you may be the princess,

506
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: but we don't recognize you as our queen. He says,

507
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: if you step foot in Orinth, it's on your head, bro.

508
00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: bounty on your hair he doesn't say that but he's

509
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:53,699
Speaker 2: like you better not go to oranth which is the

510
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,370
Speaker 2: city you better not do this you better not do

511
00:23:55,380 --> 00:23:59,370
Speaker 2: that like and then it's really fucking just i can't

512
00:23:59,390 --> 00:24:01,210
Speaker 2: even begin to explain to you how fucking.

513
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:05,650
Speaker 1: It i was picturing like a old white man with

514
00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:07,330
Speaker 1: a beer belly i know he probably doesn't have that

515
00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:08,870
Speaker 1: and then like he's got a little bit of hair

516
00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:10,610
Speaker 1: but he's holding on for dear life he's like you

517
00:24:10,670 --> 00:24:13,810
Speaker 1: cover it here this is my place telling you holding

518
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:16,149
Speaker 1: a drink anyway look she ends up just coming to

519
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:17,850
Speaker 1: terms with the fact that she's just gonna have to

520
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:23,669
Speaker 1: play his little game And... Does Darrow have any powers? Eh?

521
00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:27,609
Speaker 1: What's his powers? I don't think he has any. He doesn't. Why?

522
00:24:27,970 --> 00:24:33,350
Speaker 1: Fucking just kill... Behead him. Fuck him. I know. Just... Dead. Literally. Like, just.

523
00:24:33,869 --> 00:24:36,850
Speaker 2: Just scare your whole fucking court into bowing for you.

524
00:24:37,050 --> 00:24:40,929
Speaker 1: Yeah, do a resand. And then just become a hectic queen. Yeah, exactly.

525
00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:43,350
Speaker 1: You've got the power for it. Anyway, she wants to

526
00:24:43,369 --> 00:24:46,050
Speaker 1: do it properly. She wants to play his little game. Boring.

527
00:24:46,350 --> 00:24:47,649
Speaker 2: I would have just loved it if it goes and

528
00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:50,570
Speaker 2: then Rowan... dove across the table and chopped Dara's head off.

529
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:53,490
Speaker 1: When she said, who's this whore in here? And then

530
00:24:53,540 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: fucking Ellen goes, fucking she's my whore and cuts his throat. Yeah, true.

531
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 2: No one gets to call her that but me. Anyway, look,

532
00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:10,300
Speaker 2: it'll all come good. But basically, I believe that what

533
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:12,980
Speaker 2: the plan is now is that they're going to just

534
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,070
Speaker 2: go and find people to fight for them.

535
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,649
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing. Unfortunately, yeah.

536
00:25:19,020 --> 00:25:20,899
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, they take this trip to Tarasin and now they

537
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: have to fucking leave Tarasin, which is super lame.

538
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,869
Speaker 1: Anyway, it is what it is, I guess. It is

539
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:26,330
Speaker 1: what it is. Chapter five.

540
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:27,350
Speaker 3: All right.

541
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:32,190
Speaker 2: Aelin is told, right? A messenger comes in and says,

542
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:35,170
Speaker 2: the spies from here, the spies from here. They get basically,

543
00:25:35,210 --> 00:25:37,830
Speaker 2: they get word that the witches are sacking Riftholt or

544
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:39,750
Speaker 2: they're on their way to sack Riftholt to go get

545
00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: the city back. And so what happens is Aelin says

546
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,459
Speaker 2: to Rowan, you've got to go save Dorian.

547
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: All right.

548
00:25:48,619 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: Get him out of the city, take a boat to

549
00:25:50,859 --> 00:25:54,139
Speaker 2: Skull's Bay. We're going to go talk to Rolf and

550
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: he's going to fight for us. She goes, myself, Adion

551
00:25:57,619 --> 00:26:01,790
Speaker 2: and Lysandra, we're going to go somewhere else and we'll

552
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:04,830
Speaker 2: get a boat. We'll be two weeks behind you. Evangeline

553
00:26:05,310 --> 00:26:10,190
Speaker 2: is staying with Murtog and Wren. Murtog, he likes Aelin.

554
00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:13,830
Speaker 2: He's like calling her majesty. He's like apologizing for Darrow, this, that,

555
00:26:13,869 --> 00:26:15,990
Speaker 2: the other. You know, Darrow's up in arms about what's

556
00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:17,750
Speaker 2: going on right now and Aelin's not telling him shit

557
00:26:17,770 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: because like, fuck him.

558
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:20,380
Speaker 1: Ren, right?

559
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,260
Speaker 2: Who, for some reason, Ren in Heir of Fire, bro,

560
00:26:27,140 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: talking to Aedion, just about wanting to serve his queen,

561
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: getting her back on the throne.

562
00:26:31,859 --> 00:26:37,690
Speaker 1: He knows she's alive. Like, then, he's like fucking acting

563
00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:41,670
Speaker 1: like Darrow. Why? I don't know either. It's a good point.

564
00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:44,750
Speaker 2: Is it because he didn't know that Selenus Ardothion was Aelin?

565
00:26:44,790 --> 00:26:46,940
Speaker 2: And now, just because of that fact, he's like, well,

566
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: fuck you. You used to be an assassin or like, Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

567
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: Like, maybe he feels threatened. Bro, what the fuck? Anyway,

568
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:57,900
Speaker 1: it pissed me off. I was like, what?

569
00:26:58,060 --> 00:27:01,340
Speaker 2: Anyway, just massive switch up. And so, but also she

570
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:07,460
Speaker 2: leaves Evangeline and Fleetfoot with Murtog. And she says, it

571
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: was really cool, actually. I do really like this. She

572
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,869
Speaker 2: basically is testing the people in her court, right?

573
00:27:14,109 --> 00:27:17,490
Speaker 1: In her lands. So, she's left Evangeline and Fleetfoot with Murtog.

574
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:19,220
Speaker 1: And Darrow in that.

575
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,689
Speaker 2: And he's like, she says, she goes, if either one

576
00:27:23,730 --> 00:27:27,330
Speaker 2: of these two get hurt, just know that.

577
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:29,850
Speaker 1: I will kill you. It's on sight, bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

578
00:27:30,050 --> 00:27:30,710
Speaker 1: Which is sick.

579
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:36,540
Speaker 2: But also, she's testing them to see if they can

580
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,940
Speaker 2: take care of someone that like doesn't, just someone that's innocent,

581
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,060
Speaker 2: you know, just innocent, just an innocent person. She's seeing

582
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,780
Speaker 2: if like the people in her court are still good people.

583
00:27:47,369 --> 00:27:49,150
Speaker 2: Because it's like, if they're not, then maybe they're hopeless

584
00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:50,229
Speaker 2: and she has to just overthrow.

585
00:27:51,070 --> 00:27:55,010
Speaker 1: Yeah. Very smart. Yeah. Fucking hectic. And then.

586
00:27:55,890 --> 00:27:58,210
Speaker 2: So, Rowan, he buggers off, right? This is the first, like,

587
00:27:58,290 --> 00:28:00,770
Speaker 2: mission his queen has sent him on, which is sick.

588
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,700
Speaker 2: They talk about, like, he goes, I don't even care

589
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:06,139
Speaker 2: where it is. When I see you again, we're fucking...

590
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: They're not.

591
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:08,820
Speaker 1: Going to, bud. They're not going to. We're fucking on

592
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: site in Skull's Bay. Some sweaty session. Let's go. Shit. Anyway. Okay. Also.

593
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:19,859
Speaker 2: Um, so she talks about, she was going to go

594
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,100
Speaker 2: to the coast, but then randomly she sees in the

595
00:28:22,140 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: corner of her eye, one of the little fit of little,

596
00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:26,370
Speaker 2: you know how there's like the little tree people, the little,

597
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:28,649
Speaker 2: the little, the little gnomes or whatever.

598
00:28:29,070 --> 00:28:31,410
Speaker 1: Yeah. She talks about seeing eyes and they look back

599
00:28:31,450 --> 00:28:32,689
Speaker 1: to her, but they serve her. I don't know.

600
00:28:32,770 --> 00:28:37,050
Speaker 2: Anyway, they leave a little replica of Brannon's temple. Um,

601
00:28:37,130 --> 00:28:39,970
Speaker 2: and Brannon's temple is on the coast. And so she goes, well,

602
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:42,090
Speaker 2: I'm going to take that as a sign because they

603
00:28:42,110 --> 00:28:44,090
Speaker 2: clearly know what's up because they also gave her a

604
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:47,470
Speaker 2: little like Wyvern sculpture, um, And she just thought it

605
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:49,730
Speaker 2: was cool. But they were telling her that witches are

606
00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:50,750
Speaker 2: going to sack the city.

607
00:28:51,470 --> 00:28:54,170
Speaker 1: Anywho. So she goes, looks like me, Adion.

608
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:56,670
Speaker 2: And Lysandra are headed to the fucking temple.

609
00:28:58,050 --> 00:29:01,410
Speaker 1: Which is cool. Which is cool. All right.

610
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:08,170
Speaker 2: Chapter six. Dorian chapter. This bro, this guy's alone. Like alone, alone.

611
00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: He just basically is like, talks a bit of in

612
00:29:14,060 --> 00:29:16,500
Speaker 2: a monologue. You know, he's told his mom and brother.

613
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:19,350
Speaker 2: They're in this place called Ararat. Is that how you

614
00:29:19,390 --> 00:29:21,550
Speaker 2: say it? Anyway, they're in a different town and he

615
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:24,020
Speaker 2: sent them a message saying, stay there because he doesn't

616
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,180
Speaker 2: want to face them. And then he hears like sirens,

617
00:29:29,220 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: he hears screaming and he goes out on his balcony

618
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,810
Speaker 2: and he notices that there's wyverns just like fucking sack

619
00:29:33,850 --> 00:29:34,290
Speaker 2: in the city.

620
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:39,350
Speaker 1: Now, chapter seven. Can I say something? Dorian.

621
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: Once this guy gets a handle on his magic, unstoppable.

622
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:45,940
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, 100%.

623
00:29:45,940 --> 00:29:47,300
Speaker 2: I think, is he going to be the most powerful

624
00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:48,180
Speaker 2: person in this whole thing?

625
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: Maybe.

626
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,500
Speaker 1: Right now, he's just like battling the ego of like

627
00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: asking for help, like a classic man. Yeah. He's like,

628
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:57,030
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'll just fucking figure it out myself.

629
00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:59,070
Speaker 1: And he realizes he sucks like pretty much in these

630
00:29:59,290 --> 00:29:59,870
Speaker 1: next chapters. Yeah.

631
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,570
Speaker 3: Yeah.

632
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:03,190
Speaker 1: In the most powerful way. It's so sick.

633
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:08,970
Speaker 2: Anyway, so Wyvern's just like flocking in, killing people, destroying shit.

634
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:10,530
Speaker 1: And then they start to go for him.

635
00:30:11,030 --> 00:30:13,670
Speaker 2: And he's out on his balcony and just straight up like,

636
00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:16,670
Speaker 2: he just is like, he just points and just magic

637
00:30:16,730 --> 00:30:18,330
Speaker 2: just like shreds the witches.

638
00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:19,790
Speaker 1: And the Wyverns. So cool.

639
00:30:19,890 --> 00:30:21,950
Speaker 2: It's fucked up. But what he does is he kills

640
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:25,550
Speaker 2: like four of them. And then he's like basically drained

641
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:27,350
Speaker 2: his magic already because he doesn't have a good handle

642
00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:29,270
Speaker 2: on it. And then one of them breaks into his room.

643
00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:32,750
Speaker 2: And he gets like kind of attacked. And the barb

644
00:30:32,770 --> 00:30:35,770
Speaker 2: of the poison barb of the wyvern cuts him. And

645
00:30:35,790 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: so he realizes like, this has poisoned me, but my

646
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,660
Speaker 2: magic's clearly doing its best to keep me alive. So

647
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,020
Speaker 2: he should be dead, but he's not dying because of

648
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,740
Speaker 2: his magic anyway.

649
00:30:41,780 --> 00:30:43,100
Speaker 1: Cool. He's about to die.

650
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: And Manon, she fucking comes in. Her wyvern just rips

651
00:30:47,820 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: one of the fucking yellow legs wyverns to shreds. And

652
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:52,430
Speaker 2: then she kills the yellow legs coven witch, right? No

653
00:30:52,510 --> 00:30:54,290
Speaker 2: one sees it. No one sees it. But anyway, that's

654
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:56,610
Speaker 2: what happens. And then she goes and she saves Doran.

655
00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:58,630
Speaker 1: She says, get up, go. You need to get out

656
00:30:58,650 --> 00:31:01,460
Speaker 1: of the fucking castle. Get out of here. I wish

657
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:03,180
Speaker 1: I kissed too. I wish I kissed.

658
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,660
Speaker 2: And then she's about to, she's going down these stairs

659
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:10,940
Speaker 2: with him and she hears something and she smells this like,

660
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: there's like all this wind apparently. It gets really windy

661
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: and she's like, it smells like snow and pine.

662
00:31:16,010 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Right? And she goes, what's that smell? Why do I

663
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,350
Speaker 1: remember it? Why is that familiar?

664
00:31:20,090 --> 00:31:24,470
Speaker 2: And then she hears some shit going down. Rowan down

665
00:31:24,490 --> 00:31:26,970
Speaker 2: the bottom of these stairs. Broski, Rowan down at the

666
00:31:26,990 --> 00:31:27,590
Speaker 2: bottom of the stairs.

667
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:28,650
Speaker 1: She goes.

668
00:31:28,730 --> 00:31:32,500
Speaker 2: Manon's like, he just kills like... He just one-on-ones four witches.

669
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: No fucking problem. And then she's like... Rowan looks up

670
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,140
Speaker 2: at her and she just said all the air out

671
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: of her lungs is just gone.

672
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:41,540
Speaker 1: So cool.

673
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,870
Speaker 2: So fucking cool. Dorian realizes what's happening. And he goes

674
00:31:47,910 --> 00:31:50,230
Speaker 2: over to Manon and he says to Rowan, stop, stop, stop.

675
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:53,990
Speaker 2: So Rowan stops. And then she goes, go, go, go, go, go. Anyway,

676
00:31:54,510 --> 00:32:02,670
Speaker 2: Dorian gets... Rowan gets Dorian out of the fucking castle.

677
00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:05,470
Speaker 2: They escape, find a boat. Chapter 8. They sail away.

678
00:32:06,290 --> 00:32:07,430
Speaker 2: My man, they sail away.

679
00:32:09,310 --> 00:32:11,990
Speaker 1: So, yeah. Pretty fucking crazy. Is that when... Or is

680
00:32:12,030 --> 00:32:14,370
Speaker 1: it later when Dorian admits to Rowan that he needs

681
00:32:14,390 --> 00:32:15,850
Speaker 1: help and then Rowan's like, you're going to be a

682
00:32:15,870 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: good king? Oh, it's in... Yeah. It's not... It's soon.

683
00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: It's like... It's very soon. They have some little chapters

684
00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:26,140
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah. Rowan and shit. But, yeah. Yeah.

685
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,100
Speaker 2: Chapter nine, a lead. Back to a lead in Lorcan.

686
00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:36,739
Speaker 1: Let's go. So, so much happens. Like we're only on

687
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,020
Speaker 1: chapter nine. I feel like from here on out, like

688
00:32:39,340 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: the book was just like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Right.

689
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,350
Speaker 1: Fucking literally we're on chapter nine. Straight away. It took

690
00:32:44,380 --> 00:32:46,650
Speaker 1: nine chapters to get like fucking yes, yes, yes. Oh

691
00:32:46,670 --> 00:32:47,850
Speaker 1: my God. Anyway.

692
00:32:49,150 --> 00:32:52,290
Speaker 2: So, a lead's in the forest. She knows she's being

693
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:55,090
Speaker 2: followed and she's at a river, but she can hear

694
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: these fucking beasts. surrounding her she's like what's going on

695
00:32:58,860 --> 00:33:01,140
Speaker 2: here anyway she's wigging out she keeps hearing these like

696
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:05,660
Speaker 2: weird noises crazy scary noises and then lorkhan reveals himself

697
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: and they have a bit of a chit chat back

698
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,140
Speaker 2: and forth but he also knows that they're being hunted

699
00:33:10,180 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: by something and he thinks that he's being hunted because

700
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,370
Speaker 2: the witches were hunting him for killing the witches but

701
00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:18,270
Speaker 2: and he's like oh they've sent some different beasts after

702
00:33:18,290 --> 00:33:21,970
Speaker 2: me because they're cowards lo and behold these beasts are

703
00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:25,330
Speaker 2: hunting a lead yeah so what happens is they run

704
00:33:25,890 --> 00:33:29,430
Speaker 2: But then he says, look, you're slow as fuck, girl.

705
00:33:30,210 --> 00:33:34,780
Speaker 1: All right? You go. I'll stay back. Now, we get

706
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:43,300
Speaker 1: a little thing of Lorcan's magic. His magic is, it's not.

707
00:33:43,180 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: Like raw power like Dorian's, but it's kind of dark wind,

708
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,459
Speaker 2: if that makes any sense. It's sort of like Rowan's,

709
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: but not like Rowan's.

710
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,010
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's more subtle maybe. His queen Maeve said,

711
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,570
Speaker 1: you know, when they discovered what his power was, she said,

712
00:34:02,610 --> 00:34:06,230
Speaker 1: yours is relatively unknown, but it's, but it's, no, it's like, sorry,

713
00:34:06,250 --> 00:34:07,850
Speaker 1: it's not relatively unknown. It's very unknown.

714
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:10,970
Speaker 2: And it's very, you know, use it to your advantage

715
00:34:11,010 --> 00:34:12,550
Speaker 2: type shit. I think he just has sick powers. I

716
00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:13,930
Speaker 2: think he just kind of can do cool shit, but

717
00:34:13,950 --> 00:34:16,860
Speaker 2: who knows. But so he stays back. He puts up

718
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:23,100
Speaker 2: a wall of magic and then these three beasts, disgusting looking,

719
00:34:23,180 --> 00:34:27,410
Speaker 2: terrifying things break through his wall of magic. And then

720
00:34:27,450 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: they can talk. And so he's talking to them. He's like,

721
00:34:30,700 --> 00:34:33,940
Speaker 2: what are you? And then they say, we are Ilken.

722
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,780
Speaker 2: They're beasts that Erewhon has been making.

723
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,260
Speaker 1: I don't know.

724
00:34:37,780 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: Very powerful, he says. He's never seen them before in

725
00:34:39,940 --> 00:34:40,180
Speaker 2: his life.

726
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,939
Speaker 1: Very powerful. Looks like they're made from humans, but they're

727
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: just big, gross looking ghosts. So scary.

728
00:34:46,210 --> 00:34:49,610
Speaker 2: And so they have a bit of a back and

729
00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:56,450
Speaker 2: forth and the leader of these Ilken reveals that they

730
00:34:56,650 --> 00:34:59,529
Speaker 2: were sent to find a lead or like, you know,

731
00:34:59,790 --> 00:35:01,450
Speaker 2: the girl that has a limp.

732
00:35:01,469 --> 00:35:02,009
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

733
00:35:02,110 --> 00:35:05,950
Speaker 2: Anyway, basically what happens is Lorcan, he just.

734
00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:08,009
Speaker 1: Goes, fuck it, kills him.

735
00:35:08,830 --> 00:35:09,230
Speaker 3: Yeah.

736
00:35:09,710 --> 00:35:12,850
Speaker 2: He goes, sword, knife, whatever it is, in the throat,

737
00:35:12,930 --> 00:35:15,350
Speaker 2: in the throat, two of them get knocked over. And

738
00:35:15,390 --> 00:35:17,830
Speaker 2: then the main one's like, what? Comes up, they're about

739
00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:20,330
Speaker 2: to fight. He notices the other two, one of them

740
00:35:20,570 --> 00:35:23,779
Speaker 2: that had a knife like straight into its throat, it

741
00:35:23,820 --> 00:35:25,430
Speaker 2: doesn't get up. but one of them that had a

742
00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:27,710
Speaker 2: knife to the heart, it gets up. So he says

743
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:29,510
Speaker 2: in his head, well, it looks like it's a beheading.

744
00:35:30,070 --> 00:35:33,210
Speaker 2: Beheading it is. So this guy, what's really annoying is,

745
00:35:34,170 --> 00:35:35,989
Speaker 2: as soon as he's like, let's get this, let's get

746
00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,450
Speaker 2: down and dirty, let's dance, goes back to a lead.

747
00:35:39,150 --> 00:35:41,050
Speaker 1: Yeah. We don't even get to like hear about his fight.

748
00:35:41,070 --> 00:35:44,850
Speaker 1: I know. Anywho. But I think that's hiding his magic

749
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:46,989
Speaker 1: a bit. There's a reason behind like no one knows

750
00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:49,750
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah. Chapter 10. I think we're not

751
00:35:49,770 --> 00:35:51,509
Speaker 1: finding out for a reason. Yeah, that's a good point.

752
00:35:52,130 --> 00:35:57,650
Speaker 2: Chapter 10 is a lead... tries to run and then

753
00:35:57,670 --> 00:36:00,770
Speaker 2: there's another ilken that finds her and so she holds

754
00:36:00,850 --> 00:36:02,450
Speaker 2: on to the word stone and she gets like this

755
00:36:02,489 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: sense of power and so she thinks to herself like

756
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: what can i do what would manon do what would

757
00:36:07,140 --> 00:36:12,739
Speaker 2: um fucking like uh not caldane what would astran do

758
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: she thinks about that and so she actually tries to

759
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,820
Speaker 2: fool the ilken i don't actually completely remember what happens

760
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:20,779
Speaker 2: but she kind of just is like you know i'm

761
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 2: out here looking for the fucking what you're looking for

762
00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:24,460
Speaker 2: because she looks like a witch smells like a witch

763
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,900
Speaker 2: smells like a vogue she's trying to convince the ilken

764
00:36:26,940 --> 00:36:28,779
Speaker 2: that she's actually higher above in the food chain than

765
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:31,390
Speaker 2: it and she's doing a good job until she fucking

766
00:36:31,410 --> 00:36:33,910
Speaker 2: says like and then when you guys started chasing me

767
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:37,310
Speaker 2: i hurt my ankle and the ilken goes oh how

768
00:36:37,350 --> 00:36:39,509
Speaker 2: convenient we're looking for someone with.

769
00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:42,390
Speaker 1: A bad ankle she goes fuck oh fuck i fucked

770
00:36:42,410 --> 00:36:42,830
Speaker 1: this up.

771
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:45,589
Speaker 2: Dang it anyway i also want to mention that she

772
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,210
Speaker 2: told lorkhan that her name's marion Yeah, she lied.

773
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:50,189
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, she didn't want to know the truth.

774
00:36:50,430 --> 00:36:52,870
Speaker 2: Yeah, her name's Marion. Also crazy, she has a word key.

775
00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:55,859
Speaker 2: Lorcan's looking for the word keys. I know.

776
00:36:56,940 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised Lorcan can't sense that his word key is

777
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: fake and then that he wasn't drawn to a lead. Yeah.

778
00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:06,930
Speaker 1: For any reason. Because if a lead can feel it,

779
00:37:06,969 --> 00:37:09,910
Speaker 1: like surely fucking, I suppose he's a witch, but Lorcan

780
00:37:09,930 --> 00:37:14,009
Speaker 1: should be able to. Yeah. I thought that. Anyway, maybe

781
00:37:14,030 --> 00:37:15,850
Speaker 1: you have to be holding it. Is it because of

782
00:37:15,890 --> 00:37:18,299
Speaker 1: what it's wrapped in? Is Selene what she ripped off?

783
00:37:18,340 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: Is that her spider silk shit? Nah, she's not in

784
00:37:20,660 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: spider silk. When she ripped that piece off... Nah, I

785
00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: don't think the cloak is spider silk. You don't? Nah.

786
00:37:26,219 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: I was like, could that mask the... Maybe. Yeah, that

787
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: was the only thing I knew.

788
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,620
Speaker 2: Somehow, they either kill the other Ilken or they get away.

789
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,580
Speaker 2: I can't actually remember, but they get away, right? I

790
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,020
Speaker 2: think he picks her up and they just run. And

791
00:37:37,060 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 2: he can just run like a beast because he's fucking Ilken.

792
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: And then they stop and they have a rest. And

793
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,339
Speaker 2: that's when I think they actually exchange names.

794
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: Right.

795
00:37:44,780 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: And also he says why he's out here. She says

796
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: what she's doing. And she says to him, I need

797
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,130
Speaker 2: to find Selene a Sardothian. And he knows who that is.

798
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:55,529
Speaker 2: And he knows that it's Aelin, but he doesn't tell her,

799
00:37:56,489 --> 00:37:58,069
Speaker 2: but he talks to her. She just, she talks about

800
00:37:58,090 --> 00:38:00,009
Speaker 2: how she spent so many months in Morath. And like,

801
00:38:00,250 --> 00:38:01,790
Speaker 2: he goes, well, I'm going there. I'm going to go

802
00:38:01,830 --> 00:38:02,170
Speaker 2: there and I'm.

803
00:38:02,130 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: Going to fuck shit up. Right.

804
00:38:04,590 --> 00:38:07,020
Speaker 2: Actually a sick chapter will be Lorcan at Morath fucking

805
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,700
Speaker 2: shit up. Anyway, she goes, well, let's make a deal.

806
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: You get me, to the north safely or some shit.

807
00:38:13,420 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: And he's like, I need information about Morath. They basically

808
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: make a deal, right? They need to travel together to

809
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 2: a certain point. And then he's like, you head north

810
00:38:19,940 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: and I'll head south, but I'll get you there safely.

811
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,020
Speaker 2: And they make this deal. And she's like, put, you know,

812
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:26,940
Speaker 2: promise me. And he promises. And he talks about how

813
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: the only thing that's, again, the only thing Lorcan has

814
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: is his promises.

815
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, something about promises. He's a man of

816
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,300
Speaker 1: his word. He's a man of his word. He's a

817
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:35,530
Speaker 1: man of his word. Right.

818
00:38:36,670 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: Chapter 11. Iskra, who is the yellow legs heir, right?

819
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: She smells dead witch on Manon. And she says, she's like, you're.

820
00:38:47,739 --> 00:38:51,460
Speaker 1: A witch killer. You bitch. You're a witch killer. And

821
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,900
Speaker 1: then Manon lies.

822
00:38:53,140 --> 00:38:56,620
Speaker 2: And she says that she was attacked by the yellow

823
00:38:56,660 --> 00:38:59,779
Speaker 2: legs witch. And that she was doing it because the

824
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,860
Speaker 2: yellow legs wanted to kill Dorian while Manon wanted to

825
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,450
Speaker 2: get Dorian alive. And the yellow legs coven witch was

826
00:39:04,510 --> 00:39:07,850
Speaker 2: trying to steal Manon's thunder anyway. And then she tells

827
00:39:07,890 --> 00:39:12,250
Speaker 2: her that the other four which is we're killed by Rowan,

828
00:39:12,510 --> 00:39:13,410
Speaker 2: the fey warrior.

829
00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:15,069
Speaker 1: Anyway, cool.

830
00:39:15,130 --> 00:39:17,820
Speaker 2: We're back at Morath now and Manon is summoned again

831
00:39:17,940 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: to her grandmother and the other matrons are also there too.

832
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: So there's the three matrons and then the three heirs.

833
00:39:24,420 --> 00:39:27,150
Speaker 2: We've got Petra, who is the blue blood's heir or

834
00:39:27,170 --> 00:39:31,350
Speaker 2: whatever they're called. The yellow legs, heir is Iskra. And

835
00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: I can't remember like the matrons names, but anyway. So

836
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 2: what happens is they're like, Manon, did you kill a witch?

837
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,980
Speaker 2: Are you a witch killer? Manon says, no, fuck, no,

838
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm not. And so then the matrons are talking, right?

839
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,100
Speaker 2: Petra does this thing about, you know, she's like, backs Manon. Petra's,

840
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,090
Speaker 2: we like Petra. But Petra backs Manon up, type of shit, whatever.

841
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:55,150
Speaker 2: So then Manon's fucking grandma, she.

842
00:39:55,030 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Goes, well, because blood was spilled. This is bullshit, eh?

843
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: Some of our blood needs to be spilled. Bullshit. You know?

844
00:40:04,940 --> 00:40:08,370
Speaker 2: The yellow legs need to be able to spill blood too.

845
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:12,060
Speaker 2: So what's going to happen, Manon? is one of your

846
00:40:12,060 --> 00:40:15,020
Speaker 2: 13 are going to be sacrificed and killed. And it's

847
00:40:15,060 --> 00:40:17,020
Speaker 2: going to be Astrid, and it's going to be tomorrow

848
00:40:17,060 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: morning at dawn.

849
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,969
Speaker 1: You're kidding. When that happened, I genuinely was like, what

850
00:40:21,989 --> 00:40:25,390
Speaker 1: the fuck? I know. I was like, you are kidding.

851
00:40:25,770 --> 00:40:27,110
Speaker 1: I like Astrid. Anyway, bro.

852
00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:32,989
Speaker 2: Any fucking way. So much happens in this book. I

853
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: can't even begin to explain to you how much more

854
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:39,700
Speaker 2: we have to talk about. I need to have a

855
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: sip of my drink. We're already like an hour in.

856
00:40:41,620 --> 00:40:45,390
Speaker 2: All right, buddies, me and Odie have conversed and we're

857
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:46,989
Speaker 2: going to leave you on a cheeky cliffhanger.

858
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:47,610
Speaker 1: Okay.

859
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:50,089
Speaker 2: Even though you probably all know what's happened, but we

860
00:40:50,130 --> 00:40:53,550
Speaker 2: don't want to miss anything. I don't want to be skipping.

861
00:40:53,590 --> 00:40:55,830
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been going into relatively good detail here.

862
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:59,730
Speaker 1: Yeah. What usually happens is like we get to 40,

863
00:40:59,730 --> 00:41:02,540
Speaker 1: 50 minutes. I'm like, oh shit, we got eight chapters left.

864
00:41:02,580 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Let's just speed run it.

865
00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:04,100
Speaker 2: Yeah.

866
00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: So I'm like, let's speed run it.

867
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:08,950
Speaker 2: So, but what we're going to do is, We're going

868
00:41:08,969 --> 00:41:12,130
Speaker 2: to end the episode here and we're going to split

869
00:41:12,250 --> 00:41:14,030
Speaker 2: this 20 chapters into two episodes.

870
00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:16,910
Speaker 1: And we might have to fuck. I don't know.

871
00:41:17,210 --> 00:41:20,970
Speaker 2: I like reading 20 chapters because I just like it,

872
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: but we might have to fucking do 10.

873
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: We'll have to think about it anyway.

874
00:41:24,460 --> 00:41:27,940
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. What you can do is sign

875
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:29,970
Speaker 2: up to Patreon, right?

876
00:41:30,010 --> 00:41:32,350
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this on a Friday on Spotify

877
00:41:32,370 --> 00:41:35,630
Speaker 1: or YouTube or Apple, podcasts, you can sign up to

878
00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: Patreon because in two days, the next 10 chapters will

879
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,060
Speaker 1: be out on Patreon. They go out five days early. So...

880
00:41:42,180 --> 00:41:43,819
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait pretty much. You don't have

881
00:41:43,860 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: to wait very long. You know what I'm saying? You

882
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: might be listening to this on a Sunday. You might

883
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:51,420
Speaker 1: be listening to this on a Monday. And it's already there.

884
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:52,779
Speaker 1: And it's already there.

885
00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:54,330
Speaker 2: But if you're listening to this on a Monday that

886
00:41:54,350 --> 00:41:55,930
Speaker 2: it came out on Patreon, then it's not going to

887
00:41:55,969 --> 00:41:56,330
Speaker 2: be there.

888
00:41:56,350 --> 00:41:59,290
Speaker 1: It's going to wait a week. Anyway, sorry about that, Bad.

889
00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:01,330
Speaker 2: It's not really sorry about it because I want to

890
00:42:01,350 --> 00:42:02,290
Speaker 2: be able to go into it and I don't want

891
00:42:02,310 --> 00:42:02,690
Speaker 2: to rush it.

892
00:42:03,150 --> 00:42:06,940
Speaker 1: So... With that, baddies, we love ya. Stay bad.
