Bonus Episode: Iron Flame Predictions
In this week's episode, Faye and Ally discuss their own personal predictions and deliberate on fan theories about Rebecca Yarros' second book (and sequel to Fourth Wing) in The Empyrean series: Iron Flame. This episode was recorded on October 26th, so keep in mind that more quotes, interviews, and the book itself have all been released since then! Of course there will be spoilers about Fourth Wing, but due to the nature of some fan theories, there will also be spoilers about the first two books in Sarah J Maas' ACOTAR series. Is Xaden the next Tammy? Is General Sorrengail secretly not evil? Who the hell is Colonel Asari?!
