The Mist Thief by LJ Andrews

In this episode, we dive into the romantasy book The Mist Thief by LJ Andrews [https://ljandrews.net/]. This is the third book in The Ever Seas series. The series also includes The Ever King, The Ever Queen, and The Stolen Crown (available in October 2026). We’ve covered all three of the released books in the series so far and will deep dive into The Stolen Crown once it comes out. During this episode, we discuss how we couldn’t wait to read about Jonas ever since he first came on the page in The Ever King, why Skadi is such a fascinating character, how much we despised Arion and Cian, why we think Mira likes to poke the Tait-bear, why it’s impossible not to love Jonas and his entire family, the countless ways Jonas went above and beyond for Skadi before their relationship turned romantic, and how we can’t wait to read the next book after that cliffhanger at the end. Plus, we discuss our theories about why the Otherworld has been mentioned so many times, why we think Mira and Tait are really at odds, what could’ve caused the ship to wreck, and who we’re hoping to see get future books in the series.
