Episode 20: Ranting about... For the Throne

from Reads and Rants Pod Hosted by Bari and Emily

🎉 One Year of Reads & Rants! 🎉 We’re celebrating our 1-year anniversary with a deep dive into Hannah Whitten’s For the Throne—a dark romantasy sequel full of shadowy magic, morally gray characters, and enemies-to-lovers tension that had us swooning and ranting. That’s not all– we’re joined by a most specialist guest and fantasy superfan, Liz Kluge! This episode we’re breaking down: 🖤 Trope Talk: gothic fairy-tale retelling, spicy enemies-to-lovers, bonds of sisterhood, reluctant monsters, and “I’ll burn the world to save you” energy 🌲 Wilderwood vs. Shadowlands — light vs. dark, roots vs. shadows, love vs. sacrifice 😭 That bittersweet finale we’re still not over If you’re searching for your next BookTok romantasy obsession, love a messy morally gray love interest, or can’t resist a little enemies-to-lovers banter, this one’s for you. Thanks for sticking with us for a whole year—here’s to many more episodes of books, banter, and rants 🥂 💌 Listener Questions: Would you rather: Fight the leviathan or the seamstress Neve’s year abroad or red’s forest escape Arranged marriage or face kiri and her priestesses Wine or beer Eammon or Solmir
