Two friends yapping about Romance & Romantasy and getting deep in our feels over the books, TV and movies that make us yearn, cry, obsess and maybe even get a little hot under the collar
Threshing Day | Sloane is the key to everything – The last 9 POV’s
Threshing Day is finally out, and chaotic besties Amanda andAntonia couldn’t wait to talk all about it.
The episode has been split into 2 parts, and in this II part we are focusing on Dain, Imogen, Bodhi, Rhiannon, Sawyer, Ridoc , Liam, Sloane and Aaric’s stories.So, expect to see us getting really emotional over Sloane’s story, get really suspicious about these dragon’s ages and come up with wild (but maybe correct) theories.
Quick note, we will swear throughout.
