Bring Your Own Book

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 3 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly. Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and share our unfiltered thoughts and opinions. Burn. It. Down.
In today's episode, we are going all in on one of the most highly anticipated books of the year, Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

Back in May, we had the pleasure of sitting down to speak with Rebecca Yarros about Fourth Wing, her writing process, and more, so we knew we had to share our thoughts on the second book in The Empyrean series as soon as we finished reading it.
Readers and listeners be warned... there be spoilers ahead!
Haven't finished reading Iron Flame yet, or missed our special interview episode with Rebecca Yarros discussing Fourth Wing? You can check it out here: BYOB In Conversation with... Rebecca Yarros!

A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.
Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.
Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world. There, she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years.
Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative. He’s on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she left behind.

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 3 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly. Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and share our unfiltered thoughts and opinions.

We're back in Ruby Dixon's "not-Hoth", frozen expanse where the aliens are blue and the heroines are (somehow) anything but. Last season we read the BookTok sensation, Ice Planet Barbarians, so of course we had to read the second book in the 20+ series to see what happened next. This book follows a similar plot line as the first book, only this time we're following Raahosh, Liz, and Liz's "cootie".
Joining us for this episode is none other than our bookish gal pal, Tilly!
