Onyx Storm (Empyrean Series 3)

The reason for the entire podcast: the new ACOTAR release, A Court of Splintered Harmony (aka A Court of Silver Hames). Rather than a recap this week, we have a discussion of our thoughts and takeaways from the book. **Once again, Feyre haters need not engage.** While we didn’t love this book as a whole, we sure do have a lot to say about it—AND WE’RE SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT ONE IN JANUARY! Let us know your thoughts on our theories and if you agree or disagree with us! YouTube: Plot Twisted Sisters IG: @PlotTwistedSisters

Today we're recapping Threshing Day, the little prequel anthology of The Empyrean Series about all our fav characters' dragon bonding. Secrets are revealed and we get new insight into many characters' minds. Who knows how much of this will be referenced in the next book, but we got you covered if you don't want to read it. If you're from the future and did read it but forgot what happened and now the fourth book is coming out: hello!! I only cover the important stuff, so I'll get you caught up quick!

For better or worse, we're hearing about Nesta in this episode (and Cassian, yay!). Cary gets on her soapbox a few times here . . . so that gives you an idea what this episode consists of. Feysand haters need not listen. :) Everyone else, welcome!! Join us in recapping the last book in the ACOTAR series before the new one comes out NEXT WEEK! We. Can't. Wait. We'll see you in a few weeks for a debrief of ACOTAR 6. Enjoy your reading time next week! <3 YouTube: Plot Twisted Sisters Instagram: @PlotTwistedSisters

Celebrate the Winter Solstice with the whole inner circle (plus Nesta, ugh, and a few others in Velaris) and us as Cary recaps A Court of Frost and Starlight—the fourth (or three and half-th) book of the ACOTAR series. This book is pretty short, and the recap matches that. Most of this episode is chitchat. If you’re just here for the recap, it starts at 13:25 and ends at 46:00. If you’re here for the hangout, here are a few topics we discuss: Cary’s fall sewing projects The Love Hypothesis movie and book Verity movie and book Fallow book Yesteryear book Bonus chapters (like in A Court of Silver Flames) Movies Cary has watched to death 2 cult-y books Carly is reading The Walking Dead show Our apocalypse survival plans Videogames including Superliminal Needlework and cross-stitching Flu shots + fainting :) Cary’s chocolate chip cookies !!with almond paste!! And if you hang out until the end, Carly sings a song for us—a vocal stim she’s been maintaining for probably a decade at this point. :)   If you want to see Peach and Cary's sewing projects, head over to YouTube: Plot Twisted Sisters Let us know what crafties you've been doing lately on Instagram: @PlotTwistedSisters

Today we say goodbye to Feyre's point of view as we finish the original trilogy of A Court of Thorns and Roses. This episode is a must-listen if you're not doing a re-read because lots of lore is revealed. So much happens in this one. Try to keep up! The countdown for ACOTARs 6 and 7 is on. IG: @PlotTwistedSisters YouTube: Plot Twisted Sisters

The grand finale (as of now) of Violet, Tairn, and Andarna! We can't believe this one ends like this and we don't even know the next release date yet!!! Threshing Day, publishing Sept 29, should hopefully hold us over until Ms. Becca gifts us with another. Until then, enjoy this recap of the third book in the Empyrean series, Onyx Storm.   YouTube: Plot Twisted Sisters IG: @plottwistedsisters

Now back to Feyre . . . and now Rhys!! Let's go to Velaris and meet the inner circle in the second book of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series—the one that changed everything. Do you remember everything that happened in this one? Carly didn't. Remember all the good (and the bad . . . we cry several times) in this recap by Cary. <3   Go to our Instagram or comment on our YouTube video episode to let us know what we missed and what your favorite parts of this book are!

Violet and gang are back at Basgiath. Lots of relationships in this one: we heal some, but many are on thin ice. We have conspiracies, betrayal, secrets revealed, resurrection, and of course dragons. This book is DENSE, and I did my best to condense it. But we have to know all the wild things that happen here! And a two-hour episode is way faster than reading the whole book, so get over it. Join us for the second installment of the Empyrean Series: Iron Flame! 

The series that started it all (for Carly and Cary...) But what the heck happened in this book? Carly read it six years ago, and she does not feel ready for the new ACOTAR coming out soon. Never fear! Cary recaps this first book so we can remember all the juicy deets together!

Violet, Xaden, Dain, dragons, Basgiath war college, lightning powers… Am I missing anything? Recap the first of the Empyrean Series: The Fourth Wing with us to remember all the details before the 4th one comes out (so soon)!!
