Ep 105 RANKING & WRAP UP Goldfinch by Raven Kennedy Review, Summary, Deep Dive Discussion | Plated Prisoner Book 6

Send us Fan MailWell, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried; we’ve gasped and screamed and waited with breath that was bated… and now here we are, at book six: Goldfinch, the final installment and official conclusion to the Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy. What an incredible journey this has been. So today, to commemorate the ending of our coverage, we’re bringing you our final deep dive AND our official book ranking, our rating of the series as a whole, our thoughts on the ending, and our premonitions for the future! We discuss our favorite and least favorite parts, characters, and tropes, but also get into deeper themes, feminist and societal issues addressed, and why this Romantasy series is particularly important (and one of our favorites of all time). We also talk audiobook deets, Goodreads reviews, and potential openings for a spin off series. And… we introduce a new tool in the Besties workshop: the Cryometer™.Yes, it’s a gauge designed to track and quantify how many tears Raven Kennedy collected from us during this 706 page rip-your-heart out finale. Tune in for all that, our recent Disney trip fave and fails and a smash or pass, rapid fire Plated Prisoner edition.Don't be shy, subscribe!
