Ironling is the next book in the Monstrous World series by author S.E. Wendel. The first book of hers we read was Halfling, which you can listen to here. It is named after the hunky hard working blacksmith Hakon, a half-orc who moved into the Darrow lands looking for a better life (and maybe even a wife). Hakon gets a job as an iron smith and falls in love with Lady Aislinn of the darrowlands. Lady Aislinn designs iron tools she needs and asks Hakon to help her build them. They are smitten with each other and have to sneak in time to hang out because Aislinn is usually booked sunup to sundown. Everything changes when Aislinn's criminal deadbeat brother, and rival heir to the Darrowlands, breaks out of his prison and seeks revenge. Positive disability representation is a big feature in this story! Lady Aislinn is autistic and struggles with the pressure of her lady duties and controlling her meltdowns. Hakon is hard of hearing so he reads lips and uses sign language to communicate.You can check out S.E. Wendel's website https://www.sewendelauthor.com/.

Trigger Warning for torture, violence, sexual violence, narcissistic abuse, assault, torture, and gore. Hosts Aryn and Izzy decided to read A Court of Thorns and Roses. This is a Sarah J Maas book series that's been hyped to no end. Was the first book good? Tune in to find out. Follow us on Instagram @catsandbookspod Email us! - [email protected]

TRIGGER WARNING Sexual assault, physical assault, racism, mind control, anti-seimitism, trans phobia, murder, bdsm, sex work, drug use We take a turn from the romantasy to read a horror book by a trans author (at Izzy's request). This book is a lot of things and boring is not one of them. It is a painful and disturbing exploration of fascism in Britain that is represented as a haunted house that convinces people to turn on each other. Aryn did not like it and was very confused by it. In this episode special guest Taylor and host Izzy help host Aryn understand and break down the symbolism and metaphors in this incredibly resonant and complex horror novel. This book is not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution. #trans #horror #tellmeimworthless #alisonrumfitt #catsandbookspod #podcast #books

SPOILERS IN HERE Trigger warning for SO MUCH TORTURE (both mental and physical), disability, violence, and abusive dynamics between some of the characters. WE FINISHED THE THRONE OF GLASS SERIES *CUE AIRHORNS* As this epic and very long series draws to a close, we reflect on Throne of Glass plot and character arcs as a whole. What did we think of the ending?

ALL SPOILERS Izzy, Aryn, and Sam talk about our kitties and also discuss the very young adult ghosty witchy book we read called The Clackity. This Middle Grade horror book is set in a literal nightmare land, this book takes us through a journey of a young girl trying to save her aunt by making a deal with the mysterious creature call the Clackity! But, was that a smart deal? #bookwormadventures #authors #fantasybooks #middlegrade #horrorstories #scarystory #podcast #lorasenf #authortube #authorspotlight #scarystories #summerween #halloween #middlegradebooks #bookreview #booktok #bookrecommendations #booklover #books

SPOILERS IN HERE Trigger warning for disability, violence, and abusive dynamics between some characters. No torture this time, but there will be mention of it. We made it to book 7 of 8 in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. The ever controversial Tower of Dawn is, according to many, supposed to be tandem read with Empire of Storms because the events are happening at the same time. Tower of Dawn is an entire book of just the side quest that Chaol and Nesryn go on while the rest of the characters are doing other stuff in Empire of Storms. We didn’t tandem read and it was not a problem. Don't let anyone bully you into doing that for Pete's sake. Anyway, we read this 600+ page side quest book so you don't have to. Izzy sustained psychological damage from reading it, but what else is new? #adventures #authorspotlight #podcast #booktok #bookrecommendations #bookreview #throneofglass #bookstoread #catsofinstagram #catsoftiktok #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasybookreview #catsandbooks #kittens #sarahjmaas #authors #authortube PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/CatsandBooksPodcast Instagram @catsandbookspod Aryn’s TikTok for book spam @arynalyssabeth Izzy's Insta for art and whatever else @janx_art Email for Suggestions: [email protected]
