by Sex, Death, and Dragons
You didn’t ask but we still delivered: yeah, it’s a romantasy podcast about Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros – and what happens when desire gets political, fantasy gets feral, and romantasy accidentally holds up a mirror to our deepest collective longings. Each episode, we read a few chapters of Fourth Wing and trace the edge of where fantasy turns into shadow, asking the question we can’t let go of: why does this all feel so good? Settle in, y’all. Let’s ride ;)

<p>How many times did we shit on Dain this season? A lot. In this episode we take a dose of our own medicine and ask: what is going on here? What parts of ourselves are we disavowing that are coming out in our STRONG disavowal of Dain? </p><p>Join us as we look at why it's so hard for us to take Dain seriously, what he has to teach us, and attempt to reclaim our inner Dain. </p><p><br></p><p>Let's ride :) </p><p><br></p><p> </p>

<p>It’s time to look back on the ENTIRE book of Fourth Wing and tap into our collective thirst. This week we are thirsty for that thing that threads through Xaden and Violet’s relationship, the vibes with the dragons, the dynamic with Dain, Liam’s death, the way that Mira looks in her leathers - it’s DRAMA. </p><p><br></p><p>Today’s episode is a little different because we’re looking back on the entire book (and even a TINY bit of book 2 - so spoiler warning) and getting a little caught in the drama ourselves. Join us as we:</p><ul><li>Do a 30 second recap of the book through the lenses of Sex, Death, AND Dragons (let us know which one is best)</li><li>Once again shit on Dain (who somehow is both anti-drama and a drama-architect)</li><li>Debate whether Xaden and Violet’s messiness is hot or not</li><li>Talk about why drama is especially alluring in a time of attention overwhelm </li></ul><p>LAST EP OF SEASON ONE (though we DO have a few little special episodes coming your way…). </p><p>And please rate, review, and subscribe as we continue to build our little community!</p><p><br></p><p>LET'S RIDE!</p>

<p>Y'ALL WE MADE IT TO THE END OF THE BOOK (but NOT the end of the season… stay tuned!!!) This episode covers chapters 37 to the end :’) and my GOD do we wrap Fourth Wing on a cliffhanger. There are so many daggers, so much lightning, lots of lusting and Violet almost dies...so this week we are thirsting for BURNOUT. </p><p>We discuss: </p><ul><li>Whether being inside of Xaden’s head is hot or not to us (hint… it’s not)</li><li>Notes for Brennan on his big reveal </li><li>The ingredients that make Violet’s burnout particularly alluring (as opposed to JUST the ick)</li></ul><p>Welcome to the rebellion. Let’s ride :) </p>
