In this episode, Ria and Jess team up for a special episode on the dark romantasy, Souls in Ruin by Jacqueline White. They spend almost the entire episode talking about how much they LOVE this book, the writing, the character dynamics, the tension, the ending!!

Please check the triggers before you read this book. And please note that in this episode we discuss torture, as well as sexual pleasure under duress and issues of non-consent.

But we also discuss how this is a story about one woman’s fight for autonomy over her body and her life.

Enjoy!!

In this episode we talk about how much we all adored Rachel Gillig’s The Knight and the Moth. Spoiler: this was a five star read for all of us! We chat about the comic relief, the found family, THE Rory Mendacious!! We talk about the breadcrumbs throughout the story and the emotional damage this book inflicted on us.

If you enjoy this episode, please consider leaving us a review or sharing with a romantasy-loving friend.

Please note: as ever this episode has lots of spoilers for Knight and the Moth. Happy reading fellow witches!

The chaos resumes! In this episode we chat about the sequel to Quicksilver by Callie Hart, and why sadly it didn’t quite hit the mark for us. We talk about the mad magical admin, silly side quests and our love for most of the characters nonetheless.

Let us know what you thought of Brimstone! You can find us on Instagram @theromantasycoven and on TikTok @romantasycovenpodcast

Apologies for the quality of the Sassy One's audio - the audio gods decided to curse her for her sassy blasphemous ways. Just focus on the mad stuff that the Forgetful and Wise Ones say.

Our first author interview! We speak with Riley Quinn, author of the new romantasy Gold and Gossamer which came out November 2025. We chat about how Riley’s passion for animation helped her create the immersive world of Fairyland and Avonbend; why Riley chose to write a diverse cast of characters; and which of her characters annoys her the most!

Gold and Gossamer is available to purchase from most book sellers in the US and UK. Find out more at Riley’s website: https://www.rileyquinnart.com/

In this mini episode we try to convince each other to read some of our favourite romantasy books not already discussed on the podcast.

Jess pitches Feathers So Viscous by Liv Zander and Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, Ria chooses House on the Cerulean Sea by T. J Klune and Brigitte finally tells us why we should read Throne of Glass.

In this mini episode, the Thirsty Three discuss which romantasy book characters they would bed, marry and block, led by Jess and her unhinged categories: MMCs, Side Pieces, Baddies, Daddies and Monsters.

The Thirsty Three chat (and fight) about booktok sensation, Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider.

Ria explains in exquisite detail why this book was not for her, much to the delight of Jess who rated this four metal slinging stars. Brigitte politely explains why she isn’t a fan of the whole ‘fated mates’ trope anymore and why she LOVED the twists in this book.

All three agreed that way too much time was spent on a boat in this debut story.

If you enjoy this episode, we’d be very grateful if you could please tell a romantasy-loving friend about it! And if you have time, a quick review would also prove very helpful indeed.

Until next time Witches!

The Thirsty Three chat about Quicksilver by Callie Hart, another popular romantasy read and for good reasons!

Some of the highlights of the episode include:
•⁠ ⁠Brigitte’s Kingfisher ick
•⁠ ⁠Ria’s borderline obsessive love for Carrion Swift
•⁠ ⁠Jess’ totally mad 60 second plot recap
•⁠ ⁠Debating which real life man best represents Kingfisher
•⁠ ⁠Callie Hart’s superb social commentary and excellent world building
•⁠ ⁠Our complete refusal to agree with any criticisms for this book
•⁠ ⁠What we want to see from book 2: Brimstone
