  • FB&A The War of Two Queens Chap 27-32 | A- at best
    Jul 13 2026

    Come join us as we read through "The War of Two Queens" book 4 in the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 27-32! We dive deep into the book, talking theories we have about the book, Poppy, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond!

    In this episode we revise the prophecy that was given to us by Tawny, as we make more connections to what was laid out. We discuss Isbeth, her poor war strategy and how vengeance is keeping her alive as she wants to see Atlantia burn. Was there a reason perhaps that Malec and Isbeth weren't allowed to do the heartmate trials? Is the whole book the heartmate trials for Cas and Poppy? Then Malik and Millicent are heartmates??? We have thoughts on this. Our least favourite revenant, Callum, is brought up, is he good? Evil? Playing a long game? There are so many question marks when it comes to him. Just as we have more questions about Poppy and her god-hood, as we get concerned when she 'turns off' her emotions as she, Reaver and Keiran all escape from the Blood Queen. Reaver is another character who leaves us with more questions from his actions in this set of chapters, and we discuss him. In the gang's escape, we also meet Blaz and Clariza, two descenders, and we talk about the groups time with them, the good, the bad, and the very awkward times, as Poppy and Cas 'reconnect'.

    Please remember, we are an R-Rated podcast!

  • FB&A The War of Two Queens Chap 21-26 | SISTER WATCH
    Jul 6 2026

    Come join us as we read through "The War of Two Queens" book 4 in the Blood & Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. In this episode we will be covering chapters 21-26! We dive deep into the book, talking theories we have about the book, Poppy, the world and the lore in the Kingdom of Solis and beyond!

    In this epsiode we talk about Kieran and Poppy feeding from him, and we dive DEEP into all of our feelings, both good and bad about how we felt reading that interaction. We discuss Poppy, and how she won't allow Reaver to kill but then goes ahead and does it herself, and how this doesn't truly feel like the Poppy we have come to know in the last few books. Then we go over the group getting captured and heading to Caradonia, what we think and feel about that. In this section, we also find out that Poppy's birthday is the summer Solstice, which doesn't not feel like just a random date picked, but will it mean more as we find out more details about the summer solstice?? We end off with Poppy finally getting to see Cas, and all the emotions that are tied to that reunion.
