Crescent City: Bryce Quinlan Deep Dive (Pt 1)

BABES!! It’s finally time to talk about our  Super Powerful and Special Magic Starborn Princess, Bryce Adelaide Quinlan! This is part 1 of our two part deep dive into the Queen of the Valbarran Fae herself. This episode is a veritable theory bonanza if we do say so ourselves. We’re talking Bryce’s star, her powers, her connection to - not one - but two handsome winged men, and how she is able to so easily wield the Mask. We get into all that - and more! - in this week’s episode of Dragons in the Details! NOTE ON SPOILERS: This episode will have spoilers for both ACOTAR and Crescent City. If you have not read every book in both the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City series, beware!

Dragons After Dark: Off Campus - The Most Mature Romance Ever Made?

Hello lovely listeners! We have a little surprise for you this week! We are launching a new series, called (tentatively) Dragons After Dark! Each week, Ronnie and Abby will bring you a full bonus episode of bookish content. It will cover the books we’re loving, the shows we’re watching, book news, reviews, and more! And as you might have guessed by now, it will be a little looser than our normal deep dives, but with plenty of our signature banter. For our very first (official) episode of Dragons After Dark, we are talking the show that literally everyone has watched by now - Off Campus! So sit back, relax, maybe pour yourself a nice bottle of wine, and enjoy our chat about one of the best shows about hockey ever made.  Creator Corner Shout Outs: * Haley Puent Art: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/haileypuent.art/], Website [https://haileypuent.com/] * Janey Rainbow: TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@janeyrainbow], Website [https://janeyrainbow.com/] * HT Haze - Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/hthaze/?hl=en], YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClQi4hAenxfZSJozzacJoJg]    CHAPTERS: 00:00 The Two Olivia's Ruling Our Lives 06:14 Introducing: Dragons After Dark! 10:32 Creator Corner - That's Janie with an N! 20:54 Diving into 'Off Campus' Series 22:49 Success Factors of 'Off Campus' 25:57 Themes and Messages in 'Off Campus' 29:23 Personal Journeys with 'Off Campus' 34:47 Favorite Scenes and Characters 40:47 Unraveling the Truth: The Reveal 41:18 Breakup Dynamics: Hannah and Garrett's Emotional Scene 43:34 Mature Relationships: Complex Breakup Analysis 45:50 Character Performances: Actors' Impact on Storytelling 48:31 The Future of Adaptations: Impact on TV and Books 55:00 Hope for Fantasy Adaptations: The Path Forward 58:34 Reading Corner: Current Reads and Recommendations SUPPORT US ON BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/dragonsinthedetails [https://bookshop.org/shop/dragonsinthedetails] JOIN THE DISCUSSION: 👉 SUBSCRIBE for weekly deep dives!  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dragonsinthedetailspod [https://www.instagram.com/dragonsinthedetailspod]  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dragonsinthedetailspod [https://www.tiktok.com/@dragonsinthedetailspod]  • Discord: https://discord.com/invite/k3yxN27wSe [https://discord.com/invite/k3yxN27wSe] LISTEN ON THE GO:  • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1poCLjVuqgstcgSC90SEId [https://open.spotify.com/show/1poCLjVuqgstcgSC90SEId]  • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dragons-in-the-details-a-romantasy-deep-dive-podcast/id1801047018 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dragons-in-the-details-a-romantasy-deep-dive-podcast/id1801047018]
