INTERLUDE: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

Before we get into it, William updates us on some accolades and adaptations from our previous books and Jacob describes CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33, a whacko brilliant new video game from France. And then we’re talking both of our favorite book of 2025 thus far — Sarah J Maas’s QUEEN OF SHADOWS — it’s thrilling pacing, wonderful characterizations, Aelin’s ever-evolving hair color, the even better (and darker) witch plot, and the climax to end all climaxes, and last but not least, our trepidation about the much debated upcoming tandem read.UPCOMING EPISODES:May 6: The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons, Chapters 1–20May 13: The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons, Chapters 21–58May 20: The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons, Chapters 59-End
