Hey there, fellow book dragons and pop culture enthusiasts! It's your pals Fab and Jor, and we're back with a new 30Talks episode that's brimming with all the juicy goodness you love. Picture this: you've just won your first Super Bowl bet, and the exhilaration is as real as the tension seen in Travis Kelce's controversial outburst. We share our highs and lows of the week, then dive into a discussion about the raw display of emotions in high-stakes games, opening up a dialogue about the boundaries between passion and anger, and what such public spectacles suggest about private conduct.
This week's literary escapade whisks us from the shadowy corners of Gotham with an intriguing Catwoman tale to the magical twists in Crescent City and ACOTAR. The worlds crafted by Sarah J. Maas have us tangled in a web of emotions, and we can't help but analyze the delicate dance of character vulnerability in her works.
Our last segment is packed with our reflections on the "Throne of Glass" and "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series, where we unpack everything from the ever-compelling Manon to the romances that make us swoon and speculate. We dissect the emotional journeys of these beloved characters, and how Maas's pen conjures worlds that stay with us long after the final page. Whether you're a die-hard Maas fan or just dipping your toes into the pool of her fantastical worlds, join us for an episode where we lay bare our thoughts, laughs, and maybe a few tears – all in the name of good literature and the camaraderie of fandom.
Note: We do talk SPOILERS for House of Flame and Shadow as well as other SJM books but we do make note when we start discussing spoilers. Come listen up to that point OR come listen to it all if you have read all the SJM books.
