Rites of the Starling Discussion | The Best Book 2 Since ACOMAF?
2026/07/27
In this episode, we're diving into Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry... and WOW.
This is your official spoiler warning because we are talking about everything.
We spend most of this episode trying to piece together the mystery, and somehow, even at 90% through the book, we still couldn't figure out the twist. Then everything clicked, and we immediately needed to talk about it.
We also chat about why Rites of the Starling might be one of those rare sequels that's even better than book one. Jillian even says she hasn't loved a second book this much since A Court of Mist and Fury—which is saying a lot.
If you've finished Rites of the Starling, come hang out with us as we spiral over the twists, our favorite moments, theories, characters, and everything we can't stop thinking about.
⚠️ Spoilers for Rites of the Starling and Shield of Sparrows throughout the entire episode.

Is Dire Bound the Next Fourth Wing? | Book Review & Discussion
2026/04/27
We’re talking all about Dire Bound by Sable Sorrenson — WE LOVED IT.
This romantasy sucked us in right away with its dire wolves, high-stakes tension, and that addictive “just one more chapter” feeling we LIVE for. We’re breaking down what we enjoyed, what stood out, and why it ended up being such a fun, easy read for us.
The perfect episode if you're wanting to re live this book in preparation for the Fury Bound (book #2) release!
We also can’t help but compare it to Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros — because if you’ve read both, you’ll definitely notice some similarities. That convo is at the end of the episode!
