Ep 3 The Songbird & the Heart of Stone: Chapters 42-48

Ep 3 The Songbird & the Heart of Stone: Chapters 42-48

The journey is almost over, and what a journey it has been. 🖤 In this episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenz dive into chapters 42–48 of The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent, and we’re bringing plenty of book therapy along the way. This week, both of our remedies center on Mische’s powerful journey toward claiming her own identity and self-worth. Through impossible choices, painful truths, and moments of hard-earned growth, Mische continues to discover who she is beyond what others expect her to be; and we’re here for every emotional step of the journey. Of course, we also have to talk about that ending. The final chapters delivered twists, revelations, and emotional damage in equal measure, and we’re unpacking it all. If you’ve read beyond this book, be sure to stick around for Spoiler Central, where we’re connecting dots across the Crowns of Nyaxia series, discussing lingering questions, and sharing our latest theories. ✨ This week’s affirmation: Make Death Afraid of You. Whether you’re processing the ending, cheering for Mische, or just here for another dose of romantasy book therapy, we’ve got you covered.

It’s time for another round of book therapy with Romantasy Remedy. 🖤✨ In this episode, Whit & Kenz continue their journey through The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent, diving into chapters 22–41 and all the emotional damage, healing, and yearning that comes with them. This week’s remedies center around Mische and Asar,and the beautiful, heartbreaking ways Asar helps Mische begin to understand what love is supposed to feel like. Through quiet moments, trust, patience, and protection, Whit & Kenz unpack the difference between surviving love and truly being cared for. As always, the conversation gets personal, therapeutic, and maybe a little too real.

Ep 1 The Songbird & the Heart of Stone: Chapters 1-21

We’re officially entering the Shadowborn era. 🖤 In this week’s episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenz begin their coverage of The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent (the first book in the Shadowborn Duet) and we could not be more excited to finally be in Mische’s POV. Everyone’s favorite sunshiney vampire deserves her moment, and we are already emotionally attached. As always, we’re sharing the moments that acted as our remedies and book therapy this week. For Kenzi, it was the way Asar quietly created sanctuaries in the darkness of Morthryn. For Whitney, it was watching Mische realize that Asar may not be the monster his reputation suggested after all.  Of course, no Romantasy Remedy episode would be complete without side quests, so expect detours into topics including (but definitely not limited to): Sleep Token, the carpool lane experience, and dogs. Because somehow it all connects back to book therapy eventually. And if you’ve already finished the entire Crowns of Nyaxia series, be sure to stick around for Spoiler Central at the end of the episode. We’re connecting dots, sharing theories, and spiraling over all the things we definitely can’t discuss safely in the main episode. 👀 Come hang out with us, spiral over vampires, and start the Shadowborn journey together. ✨ Instagram: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.instagram.com/romantasyremedy?igsh=MWNhaTZiaTJiczIxYg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] Tik Tok: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.tiktok.com/@romantasy.remedy?_t=ZP-8xrafuEZNug&_r=1] Spotify Playlist: Songbird Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0EILxhzB9WhRJ1CnJFmT6B?si=g-GEe60QQdqCh4sPtzu19g&pi=k9mX6xT2QKqNA] Printable Affirmation: My Past Does Not Define My Future [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EmHwu8jY5hhdAaBxXMBBtwAsIK4jp9Hh/view?usp=sharing]

Tabitha Slick Book Chat

This week’s Romantasy Remedy is extra special because Whit & Kenz are joined by romantasy author, Tabitha Slick, for a fun, heartfelt, and hilariously relatable book chat episode. ✨📚🍷 Together, they dive into Blood & Bordeaux, one of Tabitha’s many books featuring what she loves to write most: strong, middle-aged female main characters who prove romance, adventure, healing, and self-discovery don’t end at twenty-five. Whit & Kenz chat with Tabitha about her journey to becoming an author, the inspirations behind her characters, balancing creativity with real life, and her advice for other busy women who dream of writing their own stories someday. And of course, no episode of Romantasy Remedy would be complete without discussing the ultimate question: what were Tabitha’s personal romantasy remedies from Blood & Bordeaux? It’s a cozy, funny, and inspiring conversation full of bookish chaos, writing wisdom, and plenty of love for women claiming space in fantasy romance stories. Be sure to check out Tabitha’s books after the episode and come back on May 22nd when Whit & Kenz begin covering The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent, the next installment in the Crowns of Nyaxia universe. 🖤🩸 Instagram: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.instagram.com/romantasyremedy?igsh=MWNhaTZiaTJiczIxYg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] Tik Tok: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.tiktok.com/@romantasy.remedy?_t=ZP-8xrafuEZNug&_r=1]

What We've Been Reading Book Chat

It’s time for a chaotic catch-up with your favorite book besties 🖤✨ In this Book Chat episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenzie are diving into everything they’ve been reading lately, and the spirals are very real. Kenzie is officially feral over The Wolf King series by Lauren Palphreyman. But there’s a problem. A major one. The love triangle has her fully unwell. Team Callum or Team Blake?! She cannot decide, will not decide, and frankly may never recover. Meanwhile, Whitney received the ultimate birthday gift: an early copy of The Lion and the Deathless Dark by Carissa Broadbent. She’s keeping things spoiler-free, but one thing is certain: Septimus has officially claimed the #1 vampire spot. No notes. No competition. As always, the conversation takes a few delightful detours. Think Bat Boys, 2026 book release excitement, and a little love for Sleep Token. Because what’s a Romantasy Remedy episode without a few side quests? Mark your calendars for an author interview with Tabitha Slick on May 8th and the first episode covering The Songbird & the Heart of Stone on May 22nd! Until then, happy reading!
