Sex, Death, and Dragons

Thirsty 4 DRAMA (Episode 12)

It’s time to look back on the ENTIRE book of Fourth Wing and tap into our collective thirst. This week we are thirsty for that thing that threads through Xaden and Violet’s relationship, the vibes with the dragons, the dynamic with Dain, Liam’s death, the way that Mira looks in her leathers - it’s DRAMA.  Today’s episode is a little different because we’re looking back on the entire book (and even a TINY bit of book 2 - so spoiler warning) and getting a little caught in the drama ourselves. Join us as we: * Do a 30 second recap of the book through the lenses of Sex, Death, AND Dragons (let us know which one is best) * Once again shit on Dain (who somehow is both anti-drama and a drama-architect) * Debate whether Xaden and Violet’s messiness is hot or not * Talk about why drama is especially alluring in a time of attention overwhelm  LAST EP OF SEASON ONE (though we DO have a few little special episodes coming your way…). And please rate, review, and subscribe as we continue to build our little community! LET'S RIDE!

Thirsty 4 Burnout (Episode 11)

Y'ALL WE MADE IT TO THE END OF THE BOOK (but NOT the end of the season… stay tuned!!!) This episode covers chapters 37 to the end :’) and my GOD do we wrap Fourth Wing on a cliffhanger. There are so many daggers, so much lightning, lots of lusting and Violet almost dies...so this week we are thirsting for BURNOUT.  We discuss:  * Whether being inside of Xaden’s head is hot or not to us (hint… it’s not) * Notes for Brennan on his big reveal  * The ingredients that make Violet’s burnout particularly alluring (as opposed to JUST the ick) Welcome to the rebellion. Let’s ride :)

Thirsty 4 Loyalty (Episode 10)

It's a tragic week in Fourth-Wing land... We read chapters 33-36 and are thirsty for loyalty amidst the wild backdrop of Violet learning about the rebellion, Liam dying, and...a calf massage? In this week's episode we discuss: * Whether Xaden's calf massage is well timed * What Violet and Xaden are loyal to * Why loyalty feels especially tricky to talk through - and if there's anything for us to look at there (there always is) * How to make sense of competing loyalties amidst the chaos of these chapters It's murky, it's messy, it's full of death. Let's ride ;)

Thirsty 4 Release (Episode 9)

Well y'all, we made it to the spiciest set of chapters in the book. This week, we're reading chapters 29-32 and we are thirsty for RELEASE! In today's episode we: * Quote Mary Oliver (didn't know that would happen when talking about Xaden and Violet absolutely wrecking Violet's room) * Propose an alternate title of the book: wet and confused * Talk about "walls" of all kinds ;) It's a fun one. Can't wait for you to listen. Let's RIDE!

Thirsty 4 Power (Episode 8)

Today we're reading chapters 25 - 28 of Fourth Wing and we are thirsty for POWER! Mira enters the scene (hot) and Violet wields her signet for the first time (complicated) and we are digging into all of it. We discuss: * Why Mira is so hot (hint: something to do with power) * Whether the kiss is confusing AND hot or just confusing or just hot and how the power dynamics involved inform these feelings * Signets as a manifestation of the possibility and risk of power Let's rideeeeeeeeee!
