Hannah and Laura are finishing up discussion on Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn by chatting about the characters and themes in the book. This is their shortest season ever, but they loved their time here.

Hannah and Laura are finishing up Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn and cover the last third of the plot. They are doing their best to keep up with this book, however, they both remember a classic Patricia moment. But before they dive into Bloodmarked, a book in which they hope the characters remain single,  Laura shares about a book that she loved that features one of her new favorite fantasy creatures and Hannah nearly hyperventilates in joy over some YA books that she read recently. Hannah also watched too many(?) episodes of a show that Laura's parents (probably) love.

Hannah and Laura chat about Miley Cyrus, great audiobook narrations, casting popular actors in movies too much, and revisiting a favorite series via novellas within the same world. Then they cover chapters 20 through 40 of Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn. This section is a romp and so much fun, but many things during this part of the book leave them confused.

They cover the first 20 chapters of the book, so if you haven't read Legendborn or Bloodmarked, SPOILERS ABOUND.

Laura has been sobbing her way through a new favorite TV show, and apparently also not listening to Hannah when she tells her how many chapters to read of the book we are covering.  Hannah has been a little bummed out by a show that she's been rewatching, but she really enjoyed working on a puzzle recently!  Laura and Hannah are also unsure on nicknames and having several miscommunications, but they both agree that they LOVE Legendborn! 

****Spoilers for Legendborn begin at 31 min 25 secs. If you have not read Legendborn and are avoiding spoilers, do not listen past this point!!****

Apologies for some technical difficulties. Hannah and Laura both seemed to have connection issues at times.

Hannah and Laura are about to be schooled by their new friend and Wheel of Time expert, KritterXD! They chat plot holes, casting decisions, weird men, funny moments, WoT history/canon, and let's be real, Hannah and Laura get a lot of questions answered. Kritter was a DELIGHT and Hannah and Laura are so glad that she was able to chat all about the second season of WoT!!!

If you are listening to this episode, Laura's on vacation, but she really enjoyed a movie full of fantasy blindspots for her. This lead her to many a Google search. She also listened to a phenomenal audiobook. Hannah has mixed feelings on a memoir that she listened to, but she adored a popular TV show that she recently watched. Hannah also answers some of Laura's Marvel questions. Then Hannah and Laura talk about System Collapse by Martha Wells! They chat about the characters, themes, emotions, and...the trauma. Ohhh, they also annouce what series they are covering next. NBD.

System Collapse Section begins at 1 Hr 04 Min.

Hannah and Laura are forever changed after talking to Martha Wells. They aren't sure how to proceed with the podcast. Just kidding! The BEST way to proceed is to cover MORE MURDERBOT! They cover System Collapse, the latest installment in the Murderbot Diaries! Hannah and Laura also chat about awesome sci-fi shows, endless TBR lists, shows trending on TikTok,  and complicated stories about motherhood. 

This episode is spoiler filled for System Collapse for Martha Wells. Be aware!
