Can I have a 35 00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:54,900 Speaker 1: sleepover at your house, please? Anywho, we got chapter 12. So, 36 00:01:54,930 --> 00:02:00,270 Speaker 1: I'm just going to forget. All right, baddies. Chapter 12. Aelin, Adion, 37 00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:02,810 Speaker 1: and Lysandra, they arrive at this place called Ilium, which 38 00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:04,690 Speaker 1: is where that temple is that the little people, the 39 00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:08,570 Speaker 1: little folk of the forest sent them. Yep. Right? And so, 40 00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:10,930 Speaker 1: she actually, for some reason, is like not telling Adion 41 00:02:10,950 --> 00:02:13,410 Speaker 1: and Lysandra why they're going there, but whatever. So, they 42 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: go there and they see Adelanian troops that are commanded 43 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:25,889 Speaker 1: by Roland, Havillard's father. And they have gone to this town, 44 00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:28,370 Speaker 1: which is a town in Tarrasin, but it's obviously currently 45 00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:31,540 Speaker 1: occupied by Adelanian troops. And they are using the temple, 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: which is the first stone that Brandon stepped foot on, 47 00:02:35,380 --> 00:02:39,339 Speaker 1: on this continent. That's why it's sacred. And that's Brandon's temple, right? 48 00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: They're using the temple as their fucking barracks. So they're 49 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:53,260 Speaker 1: like pissed. Anywho, they, um, Ilium is explained as this 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: place that was once the stronghold of the Mycenaeans. Mycenaeans? Mycenaeans, yeah. 51 00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:04,769 Speaker 1: And so they're crime lords who used to ride on 52 00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:08,590 Speaker 1: these sea dragons and they helped win one of the 53 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:11,530 Speaker 1: wars at some point in time. And there was this 54 00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:14,180 Speaker 1: legend that states that when the sea dragons come back, 55 00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:16,660 Speaker 1: the Mycenaeans will come back or some shit. So obviously 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: that's going to happen because it was... That's fucking sick. 57 00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,310 Speaker 1: It was foreshadowed. I think that's pretty sick too. Yeah. 58 00:03:22,370 --> 00:03:26,169 Speaker 1: I actually really liked that. Um, so that's cool. And 59 00:03:26,210 --> 00:03:28,889 Speaker 1: the Mycenaeans can take on the wyverns like the dragon, 60 00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:30,970 Speaker 1: the sea dragons can surely take on the wyverns. A 61 00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:31,470 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 62 00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:31,829 Speaker 2: Okay. 63 00:03:31,889 --> 00:03:37,330 Speaker 1: That's pretty fun. I got to admit. Um, so, oh, sorry. 64 00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:39,710 Speaker 1: They were, yeah, they helped a King win a war, 65 00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:41,930 Speaker 1: but then the Mycenaeans were exiled for refusing to come 66 00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:45,450 Speaker 1: to terrorism's aid. Ah, that's why. Now we get a 67 00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:47,830 Speaker 1: mention of this thing called the King's flame and it's 68 00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:52,180 Speaker 1: a blossom that that bloomed during Orland's reign, but hasn't 69 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,940 Speaker 1: bloomed since. Calling it now, Kingdom of Ash is probably 70 00:03:56,980 --> 00:04:02,290 Speaker 1: going to end with this fucking flower blooming. Ah, shit. So, 71 00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:09,790 Speaker 1: that's a prediction from the reviews of a bookworm. Shit. 72 00:04:09,810 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if she's right. Potentially, hey. Anyway. That's cool. 73 00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:19,380 Speaker 1: That is cool. That's cool. So she's had a little 74 00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: fucking thing. Because at this point, she hasn't read Kingdom 75 00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: of Ash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting. That's really cool. Anyway, 76 00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:29,990 Speaker 1: chapter 13. We have a Rowan and Dorian chapter and 77 00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:32,670 Speaker 1: they're out on the open ocean. They've stolen another boat, 78 00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:34,450 Speaker 1: like a bigger one. This is where it happens. Yeah. 79 00:04:34,529 --> 00:04:37,990 Speaker 1: And so they're chitty chatting and like, Rowan, this guy 80 00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:40,010 Speaker 1: hasn't slept for like days and days and days. Anyway, 81 00:04:41,029 --> 00:04:42,630 Speaker 1: they stole some food. They did this. They did that. 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,820 Speaker 1: Dorian's like saying, you know, I should have stayed there. 83 00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: I should have stayed. And then Rowan says, you know, 84 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: you're not used to your people dead. He goes, yeah, 85 00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:52,770 Speaker 1: I know, but I should have stayed and helped. He's like, yeah, look, blah, blah, blah. 86 00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:54,910 Speaker 1: They have a bit of a back and forth. And 87 00:04:55,029 --> 00:05:00,050 Speaker 1: then Dorian talks about losing Saoirse. And then Rowan opens 88 00:05:00,089 --> 00:05:03,690 Speaker 1: up about losing his mate. And then Dorian says, can 89 00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:06,810 Speaker 1: you help me with my magic? And Rowan says, I 90 00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:09,910 Speaker 1: can help you, you know, to the best of my ability, 91 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: but your magic is, is a raw form of magic. 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: We need to find someone that has mastered that to 93 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:21,420 Speaker 1: help you. Or someone that knows about it. Who knows 94 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,540 Speaker 1: about the raw magic. Do we know anyone who has 95 00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:28,700 Speaker 1: raw magic, Avandorin? I don't think so. That's the obvious thing. 96 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,550 Speaker 3: Surely there's going to be a cool character that. 97 00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:32,130 Speaker 1: Comes in with raw magic. 98 00:05:32,529 --> 00:05:32,929 Speaker 2: Yeah. 99 00:05:32,990 --> 00:05:34,849 Speaker 1: You know who I think is going to find him? 100 00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:36,530 Speaker 2: Who? 101 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:40,330 Speaker 1: Kael in the next book. Oh, yes. 102 00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: I forgot that's his whole other storyline. 103 00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:45,500 Speaker 1: That's so going to happen, hey? On his little journey. 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,630 Speaker 3: The only other thing I could think of is Lorcan's 105 00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:51,510 Speaker 3: power transcends and it's sort of similar to Dorian's because 106 00:05:51,529 --> 00:05:51,950 Speaker 3: it's unknown. 107 00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:54,390 Speaker 1: Actually, that's a really good point. It's unknown, maybe a 108 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:56,190 Speaker 1: bit more of a raw form of magic, like kind 109 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:58,810 Speaker 1: of similar, not really. Like Dorian's can come through in... 110 00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:02,690 Speaker 1: That'd be sick if they became... Lorcan betrays Maven, becomes 111 00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:07,470 Speaker 1: Dorian's boy. Bro! Imagine that. Imagine Lorcan betrays Maven, becomes 112 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:11,690 Speaker 1: part of fucking Dorian's court. Yeah. So then Dorian has 113 00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:15,210 Speaker 1: a sick fey warrior and so does Aelin. Yes. Let's go. 114 00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:18,610 Speaker 1: That would be cool. That's a cool prediction, Odi. Right. 115 00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:21,890 Speaker 1: So yeah, he says, I'll help train you, broski. I'll help. 116 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:27,229 Speaker 1: I'll do my best. All right. Chapter 14. We've been, 117 00:06:27,310 --> 00:06:36,180 Speaker 1: so Aelin and Adion, they, oh, shit. Oh, no, cool. 118 00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:38,980 Speaker 1: So we get, We get a word from a messenger 119 00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:41,260 Speaker 1: that Aelin and Adion, so they've been sending out letters 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: to Wendelin asking for aid. But word comes back that 121 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,180 Speaker 1: there is 50. Is it 50? Yeah, there's 50 Fae 122 00:06:49,779 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: warships that have been spotted on the western coast of 123 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:56,270 Speaker 1: the Fae territory. And so, they're thinking, shit, Maeve is 124 00:06:56,370 --> 00:06:59,950 Speaker 1: sending 50 fucking Fae warships over here. Is it going here? 125 00:06:59,990 --> 00:07:01,589 Speaker 1: Are they going to a different war? Like, do they 126 00:07:01,610 --> 00:07:02,730 Speaker 1: have their own wars going on? 127 00:07:02,850 --> 00:07:05,229 Speaker 3: I wish my brain could comprehend that more. Like, because 128 00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,409 Speaker 3: that's so many. But I'm just thinking, like, I can't 129 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:08,610 Speaker 3: even comprehend it in my brain. 130 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:11,739 Speaker 1: Nah, neither. I'm just thinking of a few. I just 131 00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: think of, like, a few. Yeah, so I'm thinking of, like, 132 00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:18,900 Speaker 1: a few boats rocking off. Anywho, cool. Now, here we go. 133 00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:25,130 Speaker 1: This is where Aelin, Lysandra, and Adion, they... take the 134 00:07:25,170 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: temple back. They make a move. I don't know what 135 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: signal they were waiting for, but anyway, Aelin jumps down, 136 00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:34,700 Speaker 1: Adion jumps down, Lysandra jumps down. They do some beast shit. 137 00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,750 Speaker 1: They use their magic. Lysandra turns into a fucking, you know, 138 00:07:38,810 --> 00:07:41,490 Speaker 1: the ghost leopard. And then Adion also gets to 1v1 139 00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:44,610 Speaker 1: a bunch of them. And all the commanders that are there, 140 00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: some of them seem Valg, some of them seem not Valg. 141 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: She uses her magic. She scares a bunch of them away, 142 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,340 Speaker 1: but then they're still kind of like, ah, here we go, 143 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,700 Speaker 1: the fire bitch queen. And it's like, still get more creative. 144 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: That's not a very bad, like a very good insult. 145 00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:59,180 Speaker 3: I think all it was was Aelin just had to like, 146 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,900 Speaker 3: distract him for like five minutes. So they could go 147 00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:04,450 Speaker 3: around the back and like start killing him. 148 00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:07,970 Speaker 1: Pumps him. Yeah. She pumps him. They're Valk as well. 149 00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:12,650 Speaker 1: Like pumps him. And then they get the fucking temple back. Right. 150 00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: So they get the temple back. Chapter 15. And, She's 151 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,180 Speaker 1: sitting there, legs over there. She's looking at the view. 152 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: She's thinking she's listening to the ocean. And then Brandon's 153 00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:30,230 Speaker 1: ghost appears. And she's talking to Brandon's ghost. Crazy. I 154 00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:33,730 Speaker 1: don't know. Hard to comprehend, eh? So hard to comprehend, bro. 155 00:08:34,210 --> 00:08:42,050 Speaker 1: And so what happens is she's like asking him questions. 156 00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: She says, can I kill Maeve? Is it possible? Brandon 157 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: says he doesn't know. her magic is like also a 158 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: very unknown thing. And she is very, very powerful. Like 159 00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: you need to remember Maeve was alive when Brandon was alive. 160 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Maeve is alive when Erewhon and the other Kings first 161 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: set foot on the territory. Like Maeve is the oldest 162 00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: of old, right? She can play the longest of long games. 163 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: Like she can wait a hundred years to make a move. 164 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:11,420 Speaker 1: She doesn't care. You know, she is fucking powerful. She 165 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,569 Speaker 1: is old. And then, She's, Aelin's kind of like, all right, look, 166 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:16,730 Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and let you give 167 00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:18,390 Speaker 1: me any riddles. Like, just tell me what the fuck 168 00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:20,190 Speaker 1: you came to tell me. I don't want to fuck around. 169 00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:23,590 Speaker 1: He goes, he's like, I don't have long. I don't 170 00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:28,660 Speaker 1: have long. And I'm like, this is so annoying. He goes, 171 00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:33,300 Speaker 1: Brandon says, the lock is hidden in a sunken city 172 00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:36,380 Speaker 1: in the stone marshes and it is needed to bind 173 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,209 Speaker 1: the keys back into the broken word gate. Aelin goes, 174 00:09:42,380 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: what marshes? They're huge, bro. They're huge. Yeah. And then 175 00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:52,610 Speaker 1: he disappears, of course. For fuck's sakes. Had to be 176 00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:55,650 Speaker 1: like that, didn't it? For fuck's sakes, bro. I know. Anyway. 177 00:09:55,670 --> 00:10:04,060 Speaker 1: They're very easy. Now, something happens. We have a Valg 178 00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: show up, right? And it's a very short, stout, ugly man, 179 00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:14,250 Speaker 1: she wanted to point out. Then what we discover is 180 00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:19,110 Speaker 1: that Erewhon himself is somehow controlling this Valg from back 181 00:10:19,150 --> 00:10:23,310 Speaker 1: at Morath. And he has a conversation with Aelin, right? 182 00:10:24,450 --> 00:10:30,250 Speaker 1: And basically Erewhon knows who she is, who she was. 183 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,540 Speaker 1: She tries to attack him, but she can't like get 184 00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: her power. She can't touch him. It's really very effective 185 00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: and it makes her vomit. And what she realizes is 186 00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:43,740 Speaker 1: that this guy is fucking got a heart of iron 187 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: because what Erewhon does is opens up this guy's chest. 188 00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:50,830 Speaker 1: looks at them through eyes coming out of this guy's 189 00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:55,170 Speaker 1: chest and there's nothing inside him. No organs, no nothing. Right. 190 00:10:55,750 --> 00:11:00,099 Speaker 1: This is a zombie. Yeah. So she goes again and, um, 191 00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: it's the, Oh, it's no, the heart is made of 192 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,780 Speaker 1: word stone. Sorry. So she, she goes at him again. 193 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,340 Speaker 1: She ends up actually having to really, she, she, she 194 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,650 Speaker 1: does kill this guy. She doesn't kill Erewhon. while it's happening, 195 00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:16,929 Speaker 1: you know, Erewhon does get some power that hits her 196 00:11:16,970 --> 00:11:19,689 Speaker 1: and it really hurts her like real bad. And it's like, 197 00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:21,230 Speaker 1: she's like, fuck, if he can hurt me that bad 198 00:11:21,270 --> 00:11:24,740 Speaker 1: from that far away, possessing some other lesser beings body, 199 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,140 Speaker 1: like bro. And she also really thinks like the only 200 00:11:28,179 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: reason she even did kill that Valg, sorry, that, that 201 00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: body was cause Erewhon let her, you know? So anyway, 202 00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:41,650 Speaker 1: he also says that, um, so Erewhon, before she kills 203 00:11:42,090 --> 00:11:46,209 Speaker 1: the body, like destroys the body. He says that he 204 00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:49,270 Speaker 1: knows that Rowan has Dorian and that he has men 205 00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:51,550 Speaker 1: tracking them and that he is going to hurt them. 206 00:11:51,950 --> 00:11:54,860 Speaker 1: And he also says, I'm going to make Rowan one 207 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,260 Speaker 1: of my first commanders and I'm going to turn him. 208 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,339 Speaker 1: That would be fucked. I'd be pissed. Do you reckon 209 00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: that happens? I hope not. I fucking hope not, bro. 210 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: Let me tell you that right now. Chapter 17, back 211 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,300 Speaker 1: to Manon. We got left in a fucking cliffhanger with, 212 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,619 Speaker 1: we got told, Astrid's dying, bro. These were sick, eh? 213 00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:20,610 Speaker 1: Manon is now my new favorite character. Yeah, I think 214 00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:23,630 Speaker 1: so too. Manon is my favorite character. She's got the 215 00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:31,330 Speaker 1: sickest character development, bro. Okay. So, Manon hasn't slept all night, right? 216 00:12:32,450 --> 00:12:35,510 Speaker 1: Chapter 17, by the way. Manon hasn't slept all night 217 00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:37,990 Speaker 1: and she plans to make the words of request, meaning... 218 00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:40,790 Speaker 1: that she will be the one to execute Asterin. Right? 219 00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:45,699 Speaker 1: It is her right to request that. And so, if 220 00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:48,660 Speaker 1: she doesn't do that, the way Asterin would have died 221 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,580 Speaker 1: would have been very brutal and very painful. But, Manon 222 00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:55,740 Speaker 1: making the words of request means she gets to do 223 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,300 Speaker 1: it and she will just behead her and it will 224 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:07,620 Speaker 1: be a clean, painless death. So... Yeah, so she doesn't suffer. Now... 225 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: Some other things. All right. Anyway, whatever. She talks to 226 00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:16,180 Speaker 1: her third in line and like gets a bit guilt tripped, 227 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: but cool. So it's dawn. They go out and they've 228 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:24,370 Speaker 1: got Astrin's there. She noticed that Astrin had been beaten. 229 00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:28,449 Speaker 1: So last night she was in the dungeons and they 230 00:13:28,490 --> 00:13:31,270 Speaker 1: let the yellow legs go and have a few, you know, 231 00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:34,190 Speaker 1: have a few licks at her. A few rounds. So 232 00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: we've got obviously Madden's grandmother, Astrin. fucking on her knees. 233 00:13:40,590 --> 00:13:43,990 Speaker 1: We have the two other covens, like the two other matrons, sorry. 234 00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,569 Speaker 1: And then they also have like their, there's like, there's 235 00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:48,290 Speaker 1: a lot of witches out there basically. They're all come 236 00:13:48,309 --> 00:13:53,339 Speaker 1: to watch this. Also, Manon's 13 is there. Soon to 237 00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:56,239 Speaker 1: be 12. Yeah. And so I'm, I'm not going to lie. 238 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,620 Speaker 1: I'm reading this and I'm thinking this is happening. Like 239 00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:00,500 Speaker 1: this is happening. 240 00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 3: I thought it was happening too, but then I was also, 241 00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,490 Speaker 3: there was so many tiny little things that were switching 242 00:14:05,610 --> 00:14:09,010 Speaker 3: Manon and like, kind of like showing her that what 243 00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:09,949 Speaker 3: she's doing is wrong. 244 00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:12,870 Speaker 1: She's having these things, these thoughts of like, so number one, 245 00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:17,050 Speaker 1: there's things that are happening, right? So she's having these 246 00:14:17,090 --> 00:14:19,150 Speaker 1: inner monologue moments of like, all Astrid has to do 247 00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:20,570 Speaker 1: to get out of this is just tell the truth 248 00:14:20,630 --> 00:14:24,090 Speaker 1: and say that Manon killed the witch. Yeah. But like, 249 00:14:24,650 --> 00:14:27,510 Speaker 1: she's keeping her mouth shut for Manon. So is her 250 00:14:27,550 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: whole 13. So she's like, what did I do to 251 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:36,170 Speaker 1: deserve this loyalty? Then she's thinking of Manon's wyvern, That's 252 00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: just sitting up in its fucking nest or wherever they go. 253 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: And it's just never going to see Astrin again. Just thinking, 254 00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: what are we going to do? Are we going to 255 00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:46,610 Speaker 1: keep it? Are we going to fucking take care of it? 256 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,900 Speaker 1: What are we going to do? It's going to be depressed. 257 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:51,250 Speaker 1: It's going to want to die. And then she thinks 258 00:14:51,310 --> 00:14:56,130 Speaker 1: about obviously her grandmother killing Astrin's baby or sorry, you know, 259 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:58,630 Speaker 1: throwing the baby away and then nearly killing Astrin. Didn't 260 00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,340 Speaker 1: even let us see it. Didn't even let us see it. 261 00:15:02,270 --> 00:15:08,970 Speaker 1: Now they're chitty chatting, right? And what happens is they're 262 00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:12,130 Speaker 1: about to let the yellow legs all have a turn 263 00:15:12,490 --> 00:15:15,290 Speaker 1: at like cutting up Astrid and then killing her slowly. 264 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: But then Manon says, I'm making the words request. It 265 00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: is here by my whatever. I get to do this. Yada, yada, yada. 266 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,220 Speaker 1: Everyone's sort of up in arms. Manon's grandmother is like, 267 00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:32,239 Speaker 1: for fuck's sakes. And then Crusader, which is the blue 268 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,780 Speaker 1: blood matron, she goes, I'll allow it. And that's all 269 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: she needed. All she needed was one of them to 270 00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: allow it. So she goes, cool, I'll do it. And 271 00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:41,430 Speaker 1: she gets Wind Cleaver out. She's been sharpening it all night. 272 00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: That's her sword. And she goes up. She's thinking about it. 273 00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,250 Speaker 1: Astrid's looking at her. She goes, it's okay. She's saying, 274 00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:52,780 Speaker 1: it's okay. Like, please take me back to the fucking 275 00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: cabin and bury me next to the guy I loved 276 00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:58,030 Speaker 1: and had a baby with. I did think it was 277 00:15:58,050 --> 00:15:59,750 Speaker 1: going to happen right now. I was like, fuck. And 278 00:15:59,770 --> 00:16:03,410 Speaker 1: I was like, holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck. They're crying. 279 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,940 Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, what is going on?

Get it over and done with. And 282 00:16:14,420 --> 00:16:20,330 Speaker 1: then the end of the chapter, bro, for fuck sakes. Oh, 283 00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:26,070 Speaker 1: my days. She goes, Manon. She tilts her head back quickly. 284 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,810 Speaker 1: She just says to her 13, run. Run. She pivots, 285 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:38,190 Speaker 1: brings Wind Cleaver down onto her grandmother. Yes. I was like, woo. 286 00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:40,710 Speaker 1: I was dying. I had to put the book down. 287 00:16:40,730 --> 00:16:41,430 Speaker 1: I went for a walk. 288 00:16:43,050 --> 00:16:45,100 Speaker 3: I saw you said, I had to put my book 289 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: down and go for a walk. 290 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,260 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm definitely not up to you. I can't 291 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: watch that. Yeah, bro. That was the part I was 292 00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:51,940 Speaker 1: up to. I brought my kindle with me. I had 293 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,580 Speaker 1: to go for a walk. I didn't know what to do. 294 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,060 Speaker 1: I was inside. Beth was in the shower. Her sister 295 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,580 Speaker 1: is in the kitchen because we were staying up with 296 00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: her parents at the time. And I read that and 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,460 Speaker 1: I'm like, I have a physical reaction. I'm like, holy fuck. 298 00:17:06,950 --> 00:17:11,149 Speaker 1: Holy shit. And Caitlin's like, Caitlin's like, what's going on? 299 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:13,730 Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm sorry. I don't know what 300 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:15,750 Speaker 1: to do with myself right now. And I go, I 301 00:17:15,770 --> 00:17:17,990 Speaker 1: pick up my phone and I bring my Kindle with 302 00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:19,850 Speaker 1: me and I just went outside and I went for 303 00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:21,030 Speaker 1: a walk. I was like, I got to go. And 304 00:17:21,050 --> 00:17:27,020 Speaker 1: then I made a video. She would have been wicked, eh? Dude, 305 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,899 Speaker 1: she was like, is this normal? I was like, this 306 00:17:29,060 --> 00:17:33,580 Speaker 1: is fucked. I was like, this is fucked. My heart 307 00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:42,630 Speaker 1: was racing. Look, anyway, then there's like, so at that point, right? 308 00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:45,929 Speaker 1: So I finished that chapter and I think that Manon's 309 00:17:45,970 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: grandmother is dead. Oh. So I'm like, because all it 310 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: ends with is, and then she brought Winn Cleaver down 311 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,050 Speaker 1: on her grandmother. Yeah. And so I was thinking, thank 312 00:17:59,150 --> 00:18:01,790 Speaker 1: fuck she's dead. And then I go to the next 313 00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:06,130 Speaker 1: chapter and it turns out she just barely fucking missed. Yeah. 314 00:18:06,369 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: Because her grandmother's a beast, obviously. Like she's a fucking beast, bro. 315 00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: And so now we find out some genuine lore right here. 316 00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: Basically Astrid dips the 13 dip, right? And Manon goes, 317 00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:23,700 Speaker 1: looks like I'm fighting my grandma, you know? I don't know. 318 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,859 Speaker 1: No one has ever sparred with her or anything. No 319 00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:28,699 Speaker 1: one knows how good she is. Yeah. And so she goes, 320 00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:29,620 Speaker 1: this is fucking scary. 321 00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 3: And like worst case, she's got to make enough time 322 00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: for her 13 to get away. 323 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,590 Speaker 1: That's all she's thinking about. Madeline's like, I'm dying right now. 324 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,410 Speaker 1: But as long as they get away. Yeah. So she's 325 00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:44,290 Speaker 1: fighting with her grandma, kind of keeping up with her, 326 00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:46,450 Speaker 1: kind of getting hit here and there. She gets cut 327 00:18:46,510 --> 00:18:50,190 Speaker 1: here and there. But her grandma, she's like, after everything 328 00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:53,090 Speaker 1: I did for you, after everything I did for you, 329 00:18:53,890 --> 00:18:55,850 Speaker 1: I tried to make you the opposite of your stupid 330 00:18:55,930 --> 00:18:59,100 Speaker 1: wimpy mother, right? I tried to turn you into a weapon. 331 00:18:59,980 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: And then while they're fighting in between little like sparring 332 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,020 Speaker 1: matches where they're like cutting each other up with their 333 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,300 Speaker 1: iron teeth, nails and shit or whatever it's called. They're 334 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: fucking iron. Yeah. Yeah. Iron nails. They'll like, so they 335 00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:15,590 Speaker 1: drop swords. They're just like hand to hand combat. Manon's 336 00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:18,350 Speaker 1: getting like pretty pumped. It's a big gash in the stomach. 337 00:19:18,410 --> 00:19:22,100 Speaker 1: It's like, Getting fucked up. Manon's grandma's a weapon. She goes, 338 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,020 Speaker 1: I don't know like how they get onto it, right? 339 00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:29,140 Speaker 1: But she goes, do you know who your father was? 340 00:19:29,420 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: She says this to fucking Manon. Also very quietly so 341 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,270 Speaker 1: no one else hears it. She's like, you. Oh, also 342 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,570 Speaker 1: before this, right? Before, one more thing. Before she brings 343 00:19:40,609 --> 00:19:44,350 Speaker 1: her sword down on her grandmother, the 13 witches, they 344 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:47,109 Speaker 1: do this symbol where they go like touch their forehead 345 00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:49,290 Speaker 1: or something and then they like They like salute to 346 00:19:49,330 --> 00:19:51,669 Speaker 1: Manon in a way where you only salute to the 347 00:19:51,730 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: high witch queen. And there hasn't been a high witch 348 00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:58,900 Speaker 1: queen for centuries and centuries. So basically what that, what 349 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,580 Speaker 1: her 13 is saying is like, I, we recognize you 350 00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: as our queen as in like, we're loyal to you, 351 00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: not your grandma. You can rule everyone. We're only loyal 352 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,610 Speaker 1: to you now. So keep that in mind. And so 353 00:20:09,690 --> 00:20:12,730 Speaker 1: now this is where she's getting kind of pumped by 354 00:20:12,750 --> 00:20:16,090 Speaker 1: her grandma and they're battling. And she's like, you know, 355 00:20:16,450 --> 00:20:18,310 Speaker 1: what's up with, you know, you're not a fucking queen. 356 00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:19,950 Speaker 1: Like you don't have shit. You don't have power. You 357 00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:22,060 Speaker 1: don't have nothing. You know, she's like, I know where 358 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,020 Speaker 1: this is coming from. She goes, you know, your fucking 359 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: mother was fucking, you know, you know where you're born, 360 00:20:28,140 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: your mom bedded. So the, the other version of which 361 00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:34,939 Speaker 1: is the quote croak croaking witches. Right. And they're the 362 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,909 Speaker 1: ones that, um, put a curse on the wasted lands 363 00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:43,130 Speaker 1: that the blue bloods, sorry, the iron teeth witches that 364 00:20:43,150 --> 00:20:47,449 Speaker 1: they want. Yep. Okay. And so, fuck, it's confusing, but 365 00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:51,830 Speaker 1: it's still so cool. Basically, the croak and witches can 366 00:20:51,869 --> 00:20:57,630 Speaker 1: have both men and women as witches. And so, Manon's 367 00:20:57,710 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: mother fell in love with a prince of the croak 368 00:21:02,660 --> 00:21:06,820 Speaker 1: and witches. Croak and, yep. So, Manon is a direct, 369 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: she is direct descendant of the royal bloodline of the 370 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: croak and witches, right? And she has spent her whole 371 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,010 Speaker 1: life hunting her literal- Hating them. Fucking disciples. Killing them. Yeah? Yeah. Now, 372 00:21:21,970 --> 00:21:25,690 Speaker 1: she goes, your mum, dead. You know what I did 373 00:21:25,710 --> 00:21:27,580 Speaker 1: when your mum died? I went and killed that prince 374 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,550 Speaker 1: for the fun of it. Just so he never found 375 00:21:29,570 --> 00:21:31,429 Speaker 1: you because he kept trying to find you. He was 376 00:21:31,470 --> 00:21:34,490 Speaker 1: looking for Manon, yeah. Right? The whole time. Now, do 377 00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: we remember back at Morath time ago when their croaking 378 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,980 Speaker 1: witch was captured because she was spying and they made 379 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:50,180 Speaker 1: Manon kill her? Yeah. Yeah. Bro. She goes, you... You 380 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,270 Speaker 1: are literally the heir of the fucking croaking vine, right? 381 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,989 Speaker 1: You've been killing them your whole life. And you know 382 00:21:58,030 --> 00:22:01,649 Speaker 1: that croaking bitch that you fucking beheaded back then? A 383 00:22:02,130 --> 00:22:06,490 Speaker 1: couple months ago or whatever? That was your fucking sister. 384 00:22:07,369 --> 00:22:12,940 Speaker 1: Your half-sister that came looking for you. You killed your half-sister. So, 385 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: Manon is well-known and famous in the Croak and Witches because, like, 386 00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:20,340 Speaker 1: that's our king. They think she's evil. They think she's evil. 387 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,810 Speaker 1: But they're like, we need to save her. You know? 388 00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:24,830 Speaker 1: They're like, we feel bad for her. 389 00:22:25,869 --> 00:22:27,409 Speaker 3: I thought they'd, like, given up on her because they 390 00:22:27,450 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: just think, like, the grandmother's just been brainwashing her. 391 00:22:30,570 --> 00:22:33,470 Speaker 1: The sister came looking for her. Yeah. The sister came 392 00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:35,630 Speaker 1: looking for her. She goes, I got you to kill 393 00:22:35,650 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: your own fucking sister. You know what pissed me off? Yeah. 394 00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:43,459 Speaker 3: The grandma could easily kill Madeline and she's just fucking 395 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,139 Speaker 3: fueling the fire, fueling it, fueling it. 396 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: No, that's because like, and that's good. I like that. 397 00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was like, 398 00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot. So, yeah, basically, I thought that 399 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,740 Speaker 1: was just the absolute sickest fucking thing. And then, so 400 00:22:59,859 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: she can hear her, Abraxas is up in the sky 401 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: roaring away, circling, roaring. Also, none of the other witches 402 00:23:08,859 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: come in to help Manon's grandmother because Manon's grandmother says, 403 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,869 Speaker 1: everyone back off. She's mine. Yeah, I got this. So anyway, 404 00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:19,690 Speaker 1: she gets told all this information, right? So obviously Manon's 405 00:23:19,730 --> 00:23:24,270 Speaker 1: new thing is... Another thing is Manon jumps over the 406 00:23:24,530 --> 00:23:27,590 Speaker 1: edge of a fucking balcony and she's falling to her death, 407 00:23:27,690 --> 00:23:31,820 Speaker 1: but Abraxas saves her. She hears her grandmother roaring, get him, 408 00:23:31,859 --> 00:23:37,689 Speaker 1: get him, get him, right? The 13 got away. What 409 00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:41,950 Speaker 1: happens is Abraxas picks her up. She's like dying. She's 410 00:23:41,970 --> 00:23:46,389 Speaker 1: been cut so bad. And then two of the 13, 411 00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:50,070 Speaker 1: they flank her. So she knows they all got away. 412 00:23:50,820 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: She's like, thank the gods. Thank goodness. Now, there's four 413 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:58,140 Speaker 1: yellow-legged witches chasing them about to come bring them down. 414 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Six yellow-legged witches. They're chasing them down. They 415 00:24:02,260 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: were sent to get them. They're gaining on them.

Ten years of being a prisoner, right? 484 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,020 Speaker 1: She just wants to be free. They rock up to 485 00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:50,140 Speaker 1: some like bridge. That's the crossing of the river. It's 486 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,340 Speaker 1: manned by the Adelanian forces that are taking taxes and 487 00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:58,740 Speaker 1: fees and blah. And there's a tavern. And... First of all, 488 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: she goes, Lorcan, stop, bro. You need to look more 489 00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: like a human. You look terrifying. Like, let's fucking, let's 490 00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: do your hair up. Let's take, let's unbutton a few shings. 491 00:28:06,180 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: Let's hide some weapons. Like, seriously, for fuck's sakes. Yeah. 492 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,220 Speaker 1: And then he goes, what about you? She, you know, 493 00:28:11,270 --> 00:28:15,510 Speaker 1: she takes off her fighting leathers. Get those boobies out. Legit, legit. 494 00:28:15,530 --> 00:28:18,030 Speaker 1: She's like, in my bosoms, they fall out. And then 495 00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:20,250 Speaker 1: Lorcan goes, I don't think some tits are going to 496 00:28:20,290 --> 00:28:22,449 Speaker 1: make you look fucking better or some shit. And I 497 00:28:22,510 --> 00:28:28,210 Speaker 1: was like, whoa, bro. I was like, what the fuck? Anywho, 498 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:30,869 Speaker 1: they're walking and she goes, any chance that magic for 499 00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:32,950 Speaker 1: yours can help me with my limp? Because they're looking 500 00:28:33,070 --> 00:28:36,790 Speaker 1: for someone with a limp. And then his magic swoops 501 00:28:36,830 --> 00:28:38,650 Speaker 1: in around and, you know, helps her out with the limp. 502 00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:42,790 Speaker 1: And I was thinking, just fucking do that forever. That 503 00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:45,010 Speaker 1: would use none of your magic. Thoughts on Lorcan and 504 00:28:45,070 --> 00:28:48,090 Speaker 1: Alide falling in love? I was thinking that. 505 00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: The only, because what happens next, they go into the 506 00:28:52,150 --> 00:28:55,330 Speaker 3: tavern or whatever, and then Lorcan wants to be her brother. 507 00:28:55,430 --> 00:28:56,830 Speaker 1: And she's like, no, no, no, no. You're my husband. 508 00:28:56,850 --> 00:28:57,510 Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no. 509 00:28:57,530 --> 00:28:58,870 Speaker 3: I don't want to be your fucking, I don't want 510 00:28:58,890 --> 00:28:59,570 Speaker 3: to be your husband. 511 00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:01,490 Speaker 1: Why the fuck do you want to do that? Yeah. 512 00:29:01,670 --> 00:29:04,670 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's telling something, I think. Commitment issues, 513 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:05,110 Speaker 1: my bro. 514 00:29:05,820 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. Or maybe he's had his heart broken or maybe 515 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 3: he really loves those boobs so much. 516 00:29:09,980 --> 00:29:13,740 Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Anyway, they 517 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: go into a tavern. They need a way to get 518 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,420 Speaker 1: across the bridge. I don't know why they can't just 519 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,260 Speaker 1: go across themselves, but basically I think her whole plan 520 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,660 Speaker 1: is she wants to join a, Well, do they have 521 00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,239 Speaker 1: money or does Lorcan have the right money? They have 522 00:29:26,260 --> 00:29:30,250 Speaker 1: some money and she got money from Madon anyway. She 523 00:29:30,270 --> 00:29:32,250 Speaker 1: wants to join a traveling circus that can get her 524 00:29:32,290 --> 00:29:37,770 Speaker 1: to Tarasin safely. Yeah. Lorcan's like, nah, but he doesn't 525 00:29:37,790 --> 00:29:39,350 Speaker 1: want to do it anyway because he needs to travel 526 00:29:39,370 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: south regardless. Yeah. So, they go to a tavern, they 527 00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:47,460 Speaker 1: get some lunch, and then they overhear this traveling circus talking. 528 00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: How convenient. Basically, she goes, hey, let us be part 529 00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:59,030 Speaker 1: of your circus. My husband here, best knife thrower in town. Yeah. 530 00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:05,470 Speaker 1: She goes, me? I tell fortunes. Then they joined the 531 00:30:05,490 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: circus and they go across the bridge. And yeah. When 532 00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:13,820 Speaker 1: she goes, I can tell fortunes, but I can't read. 533 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,620 Speaker 1: She doesn't say that. She's like, I can't read, but 534 00:30:15,660 --> 00:30:20,180 Speaker 1: I can tell fortunes. Shot herself in the foot there. Also, they, sorry. Oh, 535 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,750 Speaker 1: The trope, so this circus, they join the circus, right? 536 00:30:31,770 --> 00:30:33,190 Speaker 1: And they're about to go across the bridge and they just, like, 537 00:30:33,210 --> 00:30:35,510 Speaker 1: have a chat or whatever. They say they hear about 538 00:30:35,550 --> 00:30:41,050 Speaker 1: an attack on Riftholt. And then there's also rumors of 539 00:30:41,070 --> 00:30:43,690 Speaker 1: Aelin and her court. And so, Elite's just a bit 540 00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:46,710 Speaker 1: excited about that type of shit, you know? Yes. Yeah. 541 00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:53,950 Speaker 1: Chapter 20. I finished there, eh? Oh, shit. oh shit 542 00:30:54,030 --> 00:30:55,050 Speaker 1: I read I read. 543 00:30:54,870 --> 00:30:58,490 Speaker 4: 20 I forgot I always forget what we do no 544 00:30:58,530 --> 00:31:01,790 Speaker 4: no it's not sometimes we stop at like the 9 545 00:31:01,790 --> 00:31:04,370 Speaker 4: and sometimes we read on and I literally didn't read 546 00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:06,270 Speaker 4: I didn't notice that I was reading chapter 20 until 547 00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:07,630 Speaker 4: I went on and I saw chapter 21 and I 548 00:31:07,710 --> 00:31:09,050 Speaker 4: was like fuck fuck. 549 00:31:08,850 --> 00:31:10,650 Speaker 1: Do you want me to tell you what happens or 550 00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:11,110 Speaker 1: just wait. 551 00:31:13,150 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: Is it anything exciting because I feel like it was 552 00:31:15,780 --> 00:31:19,300 Speaker 3: ah no tell me tell me it's just they I'll 553 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,340 Speaker 3: listen to it Rowan and Dorian they get to Skull's 554 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,250 Speaker 3: Bay yeah right They get there and it's like raining, 555 00:31:26,370 --> 00:31:27,270 Speaker 3: pissing down rain. 556 00:31:28,290 --> 00:31:30,770 Speaker 1: And they want to go find a different, they want 557 00:31:30,790 --> 00:31:32,260 Speaker 1: to find an inn for the night. They want to 558 00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:35,020 Speaker 1: find someone to stay safe. They don't feel like going 559 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: to talk to Rolf yet. And then they're walking, they're walking, 560 00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:41,820 Speaker 1: they're walking. And then Rowan feels like this really weird 561 00:31:41,940 --> 00:31:45,500 Speaker 1: type of magic, really, really odd. And Dorian feels it too. 562 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,540 Speaker 1: So then they start to follow it. They say it 563 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like Valg, doesn't feel like this, doesn't feel 564 00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:52,970 Speaker 1: like that. So they don't know what it is. But 565 00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:57,030 Speaker 1: Dorian says his magic is curious towards it. They follow it. 566 00:31:57,050 --> 00:31:59,110 Speaker 1: They follow it. They follow it. Then they follow it 567 00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:05,450 Speaker 1: to a tavern that is named after Rolf's. It's Rolf's Tavern, basically. Right? 568 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: Then they go inside and a barmaid comes out. And 569 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: she doesn't even get scared of Rowan. Nothing like that. 570 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,780 Speaker 1: She just says, took you long enough. He's been waiting 571 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: for you. 572 00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 2: Oh, shit. 573 00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Yeah. And so then what 574 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,900 Speaker 1: it ends with is they walk into Ralph's office and 575 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,090 Speaker 1: Rowan's like, oh, this guy's way younger than I thought, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 576 00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:36,690 Speaker 1: And basically they just, it's just Rolf being like, you know, 577 00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:42,130 Speaker 1: been waiting for you. Okay. That's cool. Interesting. And then 578 00:32:42,170 --> 00:32:43,630 Speaker 1: that's where I ended. And so that's why I wanted 579 00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:45,150 Speaker 1: to read on. I was like, fuck, I need to know. 580 00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:51,270 Speaker 1: So prediction, prediction for the immediate future, like the literal 581 00:32:51,310 --> 00:32:55,730 Speaker 1: next chapter. or the next three chapters basically, is do 582 00:32:55,750 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: you think that Erewhon got to Rolf before Aelin? Before. Ooh. 583 00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:09,860 Speaker 1: And that's who he has watching, Rowan and Dorian. That 584 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,229 Speaker 1: would be sick. That's a big play. I could see 585 00:33:14,270 --> 00:33:19,990 Speaker 1: that happening. Because we have to remember, there was Valg 586 00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:25,870 Speaker 1: demons on Skull's Bay. Yeah, they were. Unless Rolf just 587 00:33:25,930 --> 00:33:27,310 Speaker 1: is playing his own part. 588 00:33:27,570 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 3: I think it's that or he's just already there and 589 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,060 Speaker 3: knows something himself. 590 00:33:33,540 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: That'd be cool, though. That'd be cool, very cool. I'm 591 00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: going to be so upset if there's this whole part 592 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: of the series where Rowan's a fucking Valk demon. I 593 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,580 Speaker 1: just can't put up with that. 594 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,130 Speaker 3: I reckon if your prediction right then, I think, would 595 00:33:47,170 --> 00:33:49,570 Speaker 3: say that he's about to turn into a Valk demon. 596 00:33:49,850 --> 00:33:52,830 Speaker 1: But that would say Dorian does too, though. And it 597 00:33:53,070 --> 00:33:55,070 Speaker 1: just wouldn't make sense for Dorian to be turned back 598 00:33:55,130 --> 00:33:55,550 Speaker 1: into one. 599 00:33:56,290 --> 00:33:59,770 Speaker 3: Nah, Dorian's got his own growth story now of becoming 600 00:33:59,810 --> 00:34:03,350 Speaker 3: a beast, finding out his magic. But Rowan's meant to 601 00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:04,860 Speaker 3: show him how to wield his magic. 602 00:34:06,060 --> 00:34:08,420 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so. Maybe Rolf's just his own person. 603 00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:13,060 Speaker 1: I hope so. I actually do hope so. I hope so. Anyway, 604 00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: predictions for you? Fuck this. I swear when we did Akatar, 605 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,210 Speaker 1: there was like one prediction. There's so many storylines. Genuinely, 606 00:34:22,870 --> 00:34:26,630 Speaker 1: Akatar has one storyline, eh? Yeah. One storyline. 607 00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:31,790 Speaker 3: When you say predictions, I'm like, yeah, we're fucking Madden, Selena, Aileen, 608 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:32,950 Speaker 3: whatever you want to call her. 609 00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:37,070 Speaker 1: Crescent City is similar. Crescent City has a few storylines. 610 00:34:37,810 --> 00:34:39,770 Speaker 1: The Valk Prince. Fuck. 611 00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:42,830 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't... I need to like break it down almost. 612 00:34:43,070 --> 00:34:46,230 Speaker 3: So we know, I think Madden, what her storyline now 613 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:47,870 Speaker 3: is given. She's going to go find. 614 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:51,660 Speaker 1: the other side of who she is, which is cool. 615 00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:55,020 Speaker 1: That's very cool. That's so cool. And she's going to 616 00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:56,700 Speaker 1: be a princess, bro. 617 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 3: She becomes a princess, but then is she going to 618 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,710 Speaker 3: fight to be the queen of all queens and then 619 00:35:01,730 --> 00:35:04,450 Speaker 3: she'll kill all the fucking other ones, I reckon? 620 00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:05,310 Speaker 1: Oath, bro. 621 00:35:07,590 --> 00:35:10,049 Speaker 3: And then where are we at with Aelin? I almost 622 00:35:10,090 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 3: forgot because there's so much going on. 623 00:35:11,330 --> 00:35:13,410 Speaker 1: Where did we leave her? I forgot. I honestly don't 624 00:35:13,469 --> 00:35:18,660 Speaker 1: even remember. Yeah, where did we leave her? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They... 625 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:25,750 Speaker 1: They've bribed their way onto a ship. Yeah. And the 626 00:35:25,770 --> 00:35:28,330 Speaker 1: last conversation I remember is her and Adion talking about 627 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:31,780 Speaker 1: how they need to get on that ship before dawn. 628 00:35:31,860 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: They need to go. Yeah. 629 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 3: And they're going to go find another word key or whatever. 630 00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 3: They need to go to the marshes or some shit. 631 00:35:38,820 --> 00:35:40,919 Speaker 3: That Brandon told them. Well, that's their one's given too. 632 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,260 Speaker 1: Yeah. 633 00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:47,620 Speaker 3: What I want to predict is so Lorcan thinks he 634 00:35:47,660 --> 00:35:48,370 Speaker 3: has a word key. 635 00:35:48,930 --> 00:35:51,549 Speaker 1: But he doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. 636 00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:56,950 Speaker 3: I don't know. And there's also a word key traveling 637 00:35:56,969 --> 00:35:59,589 Speaker 3: with him. So, we know where the word keys are. 638 00:35:59,630 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 3: We know that Aelin has one. We know that Elid 639 00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 3: has one. Elid has one. 640 00:36:04,340 --> 00:36:07,460 Speaker 1: And we have to, obviously, I believe, I'm very sure 641 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:11,980 Speaker 1: that Erewhon has the other. Yeah. He's got those three. So, 642 00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:16,219 Speaker 1: I think if Lorcan falls in love, that'd be pretty cool. Yeah, 643 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: I think that'd be cool. That would be cool. 644 00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 3: And then when they're fucking, it's like, what's that? 645 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,940 Speaker 1: That's a terrible fucking. 646 00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 2: That'd be cool. 647 00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:30,150 Speaker 1: No. I don't know. What about you, predictions wise? 648 00:36:32,610 --> 00:36:36,070 Speaker 3: We say them when we go through them, to be fair. 649 00:36:37,850 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Manon's grandmother, she is so Erewhon, 650 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:51,530 Speaker 1: you know, villain. But I didn't think of Manon's grandmother 651 00:36:51,610 --> 00:36:56,140 Speaker 1: up until now as like one of the main villains. Oh. 652 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,180 Speaker 1: You reckon she teams up with Maeve? I don't know. 653 00:36:59,980 --> 00:37:02,819 Speaker 1: And I still don't know about this Maeve thing, eh? 654 00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: Like if she comes in. To be fair. 655 00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 3: I don't think there's, you know how there was 50 656 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 3: Fae warships on the shore of the East Coast or 657 00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:13,299 Speaker 3: some shit. 658 00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,069 Speaker 1: I feel like that's not actually a thing, eh? Like 659 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,259 Speaker 1: it's something else. Okay. Just don't know what it is. 660 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:31,900 Speaker 1: And like you said, Maeve is just chilling. Yeah. I just... 661 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: This whole Maeve thing, they mention Maeve so much. So 662 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,339 Speaker 1: much Maeve gets mentioned, right? What does Maeve want? She 663 00:37:37,380 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: wants to... I don't know what Maeve wants. I genuinely 664 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:46,779 Speaker 1: don't know. Because she has everything. But the only thing 665 00:37:46,860 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: I can think of is she's bored. So she's bored, 666 00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:54,089 Speaker 1: but the, the genuinely the, like she, I think she 667 00:37:54,110 --> 00:38:02,070 Speaker 1: just wants all power and dominion over Faye. And I think, right. 668 00:38:03,630 --> 00:38:05,130 Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is that for 669 00:38:05,210 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: some reason, she gets her hands on Adion because he 670 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: is captured again. Cause, cause he's pretty beast. Yeah. 671 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:15,860 Speaker 3: Right. 672 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,770 Speaker 1: And he's hot and he's Gabrielle's son. And then what 673 00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: happens is that they find out and then Rowan, Lorcan 674 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 1: and Gavriel save him. But to me, that just is 675 00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: sort of boring. 676 00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:33,739 Speaker 3: I think Lorcan and Rowan will team up properly when 677 00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 3: Gavriel comes into the equation to deal with Aiden. 678 00:38:36,820 --> 00:38:37,649 Speaker 1: I just don't know what happens. 679 00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:39,790 Speaker 3: I don't know if Aiden gets captured by Maeve, but 680 00:38:41,330 --> 00:38:42,890 Speaker 3: I think that's how they sort of connect. 681 00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:55,610 Speaker 1: Or yeah, Lorcan... I don't know. Oh, Adion and Lysandra, bro. True, yeah, 682 00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:56,990 Speaker 1: they'll fuck. They flirt. 683 00:38:57,790 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll fuck for sure. 684 00:39:01,660 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: But I can't even begin to think about anything major. Oh, well, 685 00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: here we go. Here's one thing, right? Aelin's going to 686 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,670 Speaker 1: go around. She's going to basically build an army. She's 687 00:39:13,690 --> 00:39:16,250 Speaker 1: got the money for it. She's going to go hopefully 688 00:39:16,290 --> 00:39:18,650 Speaker 1: get Rolf on her side, right? She's going to... I 689 00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:24,180 Speaker 1: think she's going to somehow get Wendland to fight for her. Right? Yep. 690 00:39:24,340 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: The silent assassins. They're gonna fight for her and then 691 00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: you remember that remember the chick from the silent assassins 692 00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:32,580 Speaker 1: that wanted to like kill the silent assassins and then 693 00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: take a bunch of you know yes remember her I 694 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: think I think she's gonna go get her to fight 695 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,940 Speaker 1: for her but I can't think of it I don't 696 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: know anyone. 697 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,739 Speaker 3: Else what does um Elide know about Slanner at the 698 00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:49,980 Speaker 3: moment it's just that mate fuck all nothing Nothing. 699 00:39:50,620 --> 00:39:55,660 Speaker 1: Also, where's Nehemia from? Ilwe. They're going to go get 700 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,510 Speaker 1: Ilwe to fight for him? Yeah, Ilwe. They will. 701 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,630 Speaker 3: I think Elie's going to play a massive part in 702 00:40:01,670 --> 00:40:04,029 Speaker 3: this somehow. I don't know how to connect the dots, though. 703 00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:07,070 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she wouldn't have a storyline if she doesn't. 704 00:40:07,770 --> 00:40:10,549 Speaker 1: She's massive. And the reason why I agree with you 705 00:40:10,610 --> 00:40:13,750 Speaker 1: is because she's just not... She wouldn't have her own 706 00:40:13,770 --> 00:40:16,630 Speaker 1: storyline if she doesn't play a huge part. And so... 707 00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: just at least with my experience, so Red Rising is 708 00:40:22,340 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: actually shockingly similar to this book in the sense of 709 00:40:26,110 --> 00:40:31,549 Speaker 1: how many different arcs there is, right? And so, because 710 00:40:31,610 --> 00:40:35,750 Speaker 1: it's not, it's a space opera, which is sci-fi future 711 00:40:35,930 --> 00:40:42,190 Speaker 1: fantasy type shit. And there's this character, there's this like really, honestly, 712 00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:46,500 Speaker 1: in the beginning, so annoying. Her name's Lyra, right? She 713 00:40:46,540 --> 00:40:52,100 Speaker 1: gets her own character arc In the beginning, annoying. Boring, annoying. 714 00:40:52,969 --> 00:40:55,489 Speaker 1: Turns out to be one of the main plays in 715 00:40:55,510 --> 00:40:59,109 Speaker 1: the whole series. He's giving that. I think you're right, 716 00:40:59,130 --> 00:41:02,509 Speaker 1: that a lead is going to be a huge part. 717 00:41:03,450 --> 00:41:03,850 Speaker 2: Okay. 718 00:41:04,430 --> 00:41:10,460 Speaker 1: All right. And how many chapters are we going to do? Well, fucking... 719 00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:12,340 Speaker 1: I want to do 20 just because I want to 720 00:41:12,380 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: read it. I feel like a lot's going to happen, but... Baddies, 721 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: let us know in the comments. Oh, yeah. Also, I 722 00:41:19,540 --> 00:41:24,969 Speaker 1: have something to say. Yeah. I know last time we 723 00:41:24,989 --> 00:41:29,729 Speaker 1: spoke about this, we made a decision. Oh, shit. But 724 00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:37,690 Speaker 1: I have a new idea from baddies in comments suggesting it, right? So, 725 00:41:38,489 --> 00:41:41,460 Speaker 1: we wanted to read this book, pause this series and 726 00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: read the new ACOTAR. Yes. Right? Yeah. Because we thought, well, 727 00:41:46,219 --> 00:41:48,219 Speaker 1: it's going to be hyped up. Why would we not 728 00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:52,489 Speaker 1: jump on that train? Let me know what you think 729 00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:56,230 Speaker 1: of this. I think I saw the comment. So, we 730 00:41:56,410 --> 00:42:00,870 Speaker 1: finish Throne of Glass and we finish it at the 731 00:42:00,910 --> 00:42:04,210 Speaker 1: pace we're going. We don't rush it, right? We don't 732 00:42:04,270 --> 00:42:08,870 Speaker 1: rush it. We enjoy it, relish in it. And then 733 00:42:09,430 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: we read Akatar 6 in the lead up of Akatar 7. So, 734 00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,670 Speaker 1: we piggyback off both of them. Because Akatar 7 is 735 00:42:15,690 --> 00:42:18,029 Speaker 1: going to be a big, juicy, fat boy book. When's 736 00:42:18,090 --> 00:42:25,609 Speaker 1: Akatar 7? January 21st. Okay. That's something to talk about. 737 00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:27,170 Speaker 1: You know, we can still talk about it, but that's 738 00:42:27,350 --> 00:42:30,770 Speaker 1: just an option. And a lot of that is... The 739 00:42:30,930 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: only reason I like... If we knew Akatar... Fuck, it's 740 00:42:35,860 --> 00:42:36,299 Speaker 1: going to be. 741 00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:38,899 Speaker 3: If we knew the new book was a full book, 742 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,739 Speaker 3: I would say no. Because it's 350 pages. That's really 743 00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:42,339 Speaker 3: pissed me off. 744 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: January 12th. That's almost exactly when we'll finish Kingdom of Ash. So, yeah, 745 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: we'd finish Kingdom of Ash and then just get rid 746 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: of ACOTAR 6 in one episode and then we would 747 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: just relish in the fucking hype of ACOTAR 7. Oh, shit. 748 00:43:02,260 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: All right. Comments, Maddy. 749 00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:08,340 Speaker 3: We want comments because we're a podcast of the people. 750 00:43:08,580 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Fuck, I don't know. I full messaged her. It's 751 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:21,100 Speaker 1: a sound... Idea, though. Sound? What are we, British? Sound means, like, good. Yeah, good. 752 00:43:22,060 --> 00:43:23,859 Speaker 3: I full message because I'm in Bali when the book 753 00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 3: comes out. I think I'll be able to get it 754 00:43:26,219 --> 00:43:30,310 Speaker 3: in Bali. I'm finding out today or tomorrow, yeah. So 755 00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:31,310 Speaker 3: I can have a hard copy, too. 756 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:34,009 Speaker 1: You may as well still get it. Shit, I won't 757 00:43:34,030 --> 00:43:35,730 Speaker 1: be able to... Cassie's reading it when it comes out. 758 00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:37,310 Speaker 1: I won't be able to talk to her. I'm going 759 00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:39,410 Speaker 1: to the... Oh, is she going to read it, too? Yeah, 760 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:41,529 Speaker 1: she's reading it because she read all the actor. I'm 761 00:43:41,570 --> 00:43:46,379 Speaker 1: going to the release... Midnight release, yeah. So, I'm going 762 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,859 Speaker 1: to be getting my own hard copy. Yeah, but you 763 00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:51,739 Speaker 1: can't read it. You'll be like, oh, oh. Bro, and 764 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,670 Speaker 1: do you know what's crazy? It's like I'm going to 765 00:43:53,690 --> 00:43:57,870 Speaker 1: this midnight release, right? And so, I'm going to fucking, 766 00:43:58,230 --> 00:44:00,050 Speaker 1: they're going to put me up in a hotel in Brizzy, 767 00:44:01,030 --> 00:44:04,170 Speaker 1: which is nice of them. And so, I'm reading it 768 00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:06,230 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know. Is Beth going with you? 769 00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:08,430 Speaker 1: How would you say no? I didn't even ask her, 770 00:44:08,489 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: but I just didn't feel like getting the dog sorted out. So, 771 00:44:10,890 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: I just said to her. Oh, true, true. I didn't 772 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,469 Speaker 1: think of that. And I'm going to be over there 773 00:44:14,710 --> 00:44:16,969 Speaker 1: with Luke anyway.

You should 782 00:44:57,860 --> 00:45:02,430 Speaker 1: bring your Kindle and just start reading. So it comes 783 00:45:02,489 --> 00:45:05,770 Speaker 1: up to you. No, wait a minute. All right, baddies. 784 00:45:05,910 --> 00:45:07,149 Speaker 1: A lot of comments to be had. 785 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 3: Otherwise, though, we will see you next week with how 786 00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:12,020 Speaker 3: many chapters we decide from the comments. 787 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:13,910 Speaker 1: From the comments. 788 00:45:13,910 --> 00:45:18,950 Speaker 3: 20 chapters would have taken us an hour and 40 minutes. 789 00:45:20,370 --> 00:45:22,830 Speaker 1: Yeah. We all know what they're going to say. We 790 00:45:22,850 --> 00:45:24,410 Speaker 1: want it to be two hours. We want it to 791 00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:28,750 Speaker 1: be 20 chapters. It's hard on Jake, though. I don't 792 00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: really do anything in these. Yeah. I don't mind doing it. 793 00:45:32,550 --> 00:45:35,060 Speaker 1: I just feel like I get sick of the sound 794 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,220 Speaker 1: of my own voice. Get that jaw going at home more, brother. 795 00:45:39,739 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: Any way possible. Hey, I'll tell Beth. My jaw needs 796 00:45:44,140 --> 00:45:50,190 Speaker 1: a workout. She'd be like, get a Godstopper, brother. Chew 797 00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:53,670 Speaker 1: some gum, you fucking idiot. That's what she'd say. All right, baddies. 798 00:45:53,710 --> 00:45:55,470 Speaker 1: We love you. Stay bad.
