Ep 05 Idiot Boys Making Rash Decisions! House of Flame & Shadow Book Breakdown

The moment you all have been waiting for is officially here! This week Ashley and Liz dive into the deep depths of Crescent City 3: House of Flame and Shadow, the third installment in the much anticipated Sarah J. Maas series.

We discuss the hype, some conspiracy theories, why we were a bit disappointed by an otherwise excellent book, and the AUDACITY of certain SJM “boys” to keep fumbling the proverbial ball at every twist and turn. The frustration! 

We also get into our faves and fails of the week which may include a Crescent City themed bestie tattoo, and end it on a smash or pass involving a pirate and a good, old fashioned mech suit.
