Everything but the Book

About this episode

The episode explores Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros while indulging in cocktails and chaotic discussions.

We’re entering our dragon era — cautiously. In this episode, we cover Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Book One of the Empyrean Series only — because we refuse to emotionally spiral over unresolved cliffhangers). Join us as we dive into Violet Sorrengail’s brutal time at Basgiath War College, dragon bonding chaos, and the rise of shadow daddy Xaden Riorson. As a drinky book club, we absolutely spend part of the episode talking about everything except the book. Blame the cocktails. Expect romantasy tension, dragon drama, Xaden debates, chaotic tangents, and ‘Stina occasionally forgetting where her mic is. It’s messy. It’s thirsty. It’s us.
