We’re diving into a brand new fantasy read—On Wings of Blood by Briar Boelyn—and right from the start… this one has its claws in us.

In this episode of Books Between Friends, we break down Chapters 1–15 and unpack everything from first impressions to early character dynamics, worldbuilding, and the moments that already have us asking questions (and maybe raising a few eyebrows 👀).

As always, we bring our signature 3-2-1 format:

• 3 Things We Loved (and yes, there’s already a lot to talk about)
• 2 Character Moments That Stood Out
• 1 Prediction that could either age beautifully… or completely betray us later

This first section sets the tone for what feels like a dark, layered, and possibly dangerous journey—and we’re here for it.

We’ve reached the final episode of our Throne of Glass series—and we’re ending it with our ultimate ranking of all eight books.

From Throne of Glass to Kingdom of Ash, we each share our personal lists, debate our most controversial placements, and reflect on how the series evolved from beginning to end.

Some rankings were easy… others sparked a little chaos.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just finished the series, this episode is a full look at what worked, what surprised us, and which book truly stands above the rest.

If you enjoyed this series, be sure to follow along for more themed episodes, deep dives, and cozy book discussions from Books Between Friends.

In this third installment of our Throne of Glass mini-series, we’re taking on the ultimate question: Who would win in a fight?

We’ve created a full bracket of TOG characters and are debating our way through each matchup to crown a champion. To keep things interesting, we’ve removed two of the most overpowered contenders—Aelin and Rowan—and added a few rules along the way.

From surprising upsets to heated debates, this episode is packed with strong opinions, character analysis, and plenty of chaos as we determine who comes out on top.

Who do you think should win? And where did we get it completely wrong?
