Torture, Trust, and Taking Back Power: Kingdom of Ash (part 1) | S09 E08

In this episode of the Reading Materials, we dive into Part 1 of Kingdom of Ash and unpack the first 67 chapters of Sarah J. Maas’s epic finale. We talk through the most badass moments, share our favorite character pairings as alliances start to shift, and explore what has us most excited (and nervous) for the second half of the book. From survival and strategy to sparks of hope in the darkest places, this is where the endgame truly begins.Disclaimer: We had some audio issues during the recording of this episode, which can be heard in the second half as a crackling sound. We apologise for this and hope you enjoy listening nonetheless.Episode Timepoints:00:00 - Intro00:35 - Spoiler Warning03:00 - The Blurb03:45 - The Actual Plot08:30 - Our Discussion of Kingdom of Ash (part 1)01:09:15 - Next Time on Reading Materials01:09:45 - Outro
