Femme & Furious

About Femme & Furious

Femme & Furious is a feminist pop culture podcast for women and LGBTQIA+ folks who want a feminist spin on beloved TV, books, and blockbuster franchises. If you devour BookTok romances, spiral over Emily Henry releases, and still show up for Marvel while side-eyeing the gender politics...welcome. You’re in the right space, babe! We ask the big questions: Is this empowering? Why are we still rewarding emotionally unavailable men? Just how many women have to get fridged before we change the trope? Why do stories that mean so much to women and queer folks get dismissed? Why do female characters have to earn complexity while male characters are handed it? And why are we absolutely feral for certain fictional men anyway? (somewhat rhetorical) If you want smarter pop culture conversations, feminist book discussions, and a space where your obsession makes sense… Press play.

   'Burn of the Everflame' Chapters 46-60

   Summary: Chapters 46-60 of Burn of the Everflame by Penn Cole gave us a kidnapping, a beheading, and a mating ceremony in the span of fifteen chapters, and somehow it's the quiet, long-awaited conversations that wrecked us. Diem is taken, Ophiucae loses his head (literally), and Taran and Zalaric finally become mates, but every bond in this book is being healed and shredded at the same time. So grab your tissues and your sharpest sword, because we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of the emotional damage on this episode of Femme & Furious! ⚠️ Spoiler + Adult Content Warning: Heads up bestie this episode is spoiler central, so catch up first if you can!
