Episode 150 - Fate Be Changed by Farrah Rochon
Did We Read the Same Book?
This week, Sam and Kaitlyn are genuinely confused — and not in a fun mystery way. Fate Be Changed left us with questions we still can’t answer, starting with why this author was chosen to write this book (no, really… why?), and spiraling into issues with characterization, time travel logic, and cliffhangers that feel less “exciting” and more “cheap.”
We unpack what happens when a story feels pantsed instead of planned, from dropped subplots and disjointed storytelling to a complete inability to decide what the overarching plot is supposed to be. If you’ve ever finished a book and thought “Did I miss something… or did the book?” — this episode is for you.
