  • Chaol Westfall: Defend Him or Bash Him? Throne of Glass Listener Debate

    Chaol Westfall: Defend Him or Bash Him? Throne of Glass Listener Debate
    Oct 2 2025
    In this special episode, we handed the mic to our listeners with one challenge: Defend or bash Chaol Westfall. From Throne of Glass loyalists who passionately defend him to readers who pull no punches in their critiques, we read through your funniest, sharpest, and most persuasive takes. Whether you believe Chaol deserves a redemption arc or you’re firmly in the anti-Chaol camp, this episode explores why Sarah J. Maas’s most polarizing character continues to ignite debate. Along the way, we dig into themes of loyalty, love, trauma, and growth in the Throne of Glass series, and what our divided feelings about Chaol reveal about the fandom itself.

  • Blood of Hercules: Jasmin Mas’s Reimagining of Greek Mythology Through Romantasy

    Blood of Hercules: Jasmin Mas’s Reimagining of Greek Mythology Through Romantasy
    Sep 30 2025
    Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we’re discussing Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas. We explore how Mas blends Greek mythology with Romantasy storytelling, the way her heroine’s journey reframes themes of legacy, sacrifice, and divine power, and how the novel’s exploration of fate versus free will shapes both character arcs and narrative tension. We also dive into how Mas’s reimagining of Hercules’ myth offers fresh commentary on gender, strength, and what it truly means to be a mythical hero in a modern fantasy. This season, we’ll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you’re new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we’re thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We’re publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J. Maas, Romantasy, and deep literary analysis, you’re in the right place. Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

Obsessed!!! This podcast is a Chefs Kiss for sure. The Sexy Chicken Sisters have totally changed my perspective on ACOTAR and SJM as a whole. Can’t wait to go thru Crescent City.
