Our SJM Favorites: Shocking Rankings & Theories ft.

[@briannakirkman6565]

36:25 the funniest part about this rant is that THARION was the one that got two vials to Ruhn and Lidia. Ithan smashed his whole bag on his leisurely walk through the Eternal City 😂

[@rom.na005]

Omg!!! Not only are 2 of my favorite podcasts having a collab but Daniel is here too??? Yeeeeees

Love that Heir of Fire is getting its flowers. Grumpy Rowan 🫠

[@flem123]

I have been waiting for this mashup!! Love listening to all you girls 🥰

[@264sabby]

I think I can debunk the Midgard and Erilea being the same planet. Rigelus told Bryce in CC2 that the shifters in Midgard are Fae brought over from another planet (Erilea) and things like pointed ears were quickly bred out of them.

[@lamebookclubpod]

@@264sabby we hear you!!! Obviously nothing is confirmed, and on that note it’s not confirmed that he was referring to the fae wolf shifters from the TOG universe, BUT I think we all assumed he was 🤷‍♀️ I’m just waiting for confirmed answers on every theory at this point. We need another book!!!😂

[@264sabby]

@@lamebookclubpod Just started reading HOFAS!! During Silene’s info dump she also mentions that the fae shifters came after those from Prythian. Erilea is far too precious to me to not be combative on this theory 😂

My top sjm characters: 1. Nesta 2. Bryce 3. Rhys My top sjm books: 1: a court of silver flames 2. CC1 3. A court of mist and fury

Elide was also extremely smart and cunning turning into the version of how others saw her so they would under estimate her.

[@kaytlinirwin8426]

No KAO in the favorites hurts my heart 😭 QOS is so good too, it would be in my top three, but the way she brought everything together in KOA from every single book has a CHOKE HOLD on me

[@Boos.andbooks]

I have a brainblast additional thought together marvel/elain theory. Maybe Ela-Ve is also avoiding Lucien cause yes fire but also because Luciens secret second power from his Daddy, spell cleving. Maybe Lucien could break whatever spell Maeve has going on to be Elain and blow her cover

[@carolynsilva27]

I 100% feel like sjm was hinting at Elain having some sort of dark side in the Feysand ACOSF bonus chapter!! Rhys has some pretty interesting quotes in it: “With time and safety, perhaps we'll see a different side of [Elain] emerge.” “Don't forget that gardening often results in something pretty, but it involves getting one's hands dirty along the way."

[@rom.na005]

Wait...WAIT! Aelin wasn't on any your lists?? WHATTT?😂

[@Crystal050]

That’s what I said 😂 #AelinSupremacy 😌❤️‍🔥

[@kiwibooknook]

This is so exciting!!

[@perkibest22]

I love this collab!!!!

[@eduarda.giacomello]

i actually love az, but i also love daniel ending him every time! 😂

[@user-oh5ns7vw4f]

New listener but I hope you all do fourth wing!!!

[@lamebookclubpod]

@@user-oh5ns7vw4f we have a ton of Fourth Wing/Iron Flame theories videos as well as book club episodes for both books! We originally released them I believe it was around this time last year (for our book club episodes) and the theories ones are scattered throughout 😊

[@kristenlewis8508]

Love this mashup! Now y'all need to talk Forth Wing together!!!

[@lamebookclubpod]

@@kristenlewis8508 omg YES!

[@kiwibooknook]

My husband LOVES chaol 🙄

[@ana-xx6tn]

Honestly , i dont think that the lucien one would happen . Because of an unspoken rule among the fantasty story and sjm book itself : The character that faced an asult or force to have a sexsual relationship with someone , wouldnt became a bad guy . Both nesta and rys had the same story for there redemtion arc . so yeah , i dont think that he would became a bad guy . But if he does , it would be just for 10 chapter the most .

[@NotuhRobot]

I wanted to like this video but it has 69 likes and i'm childish and don't want to mess that up. This was amazing, made my weekend!

[@MannyD90]

Does anyone else who loved HOFAS get sad that basically all the big creators hated it?? This is such a fun video but the reminder was painful lol

[@lamebookclubpod]

@@MannyD90 I desperately wanted to like it!! I’d also love to know what you loved about it if you don’t mind sharing 😊

[@MannyD90]

@ I thought the cross over was amazing. The reactions everyone had were realistic given the situation. I loved Nesta and Bryce getting to know one another and realizing their connection with the eight pointed star. I loved the information we got about Theia and the lore connecting all the series. It’s interesting to see that expanded upon and I want to know where the lore will go next. I liked the battles and the steps they took towards taking down the Asteri. There were a lot of criticisms about stakes that I didn’t agree with because Bryce died. Yeah she got brought back, but she didn’t know that would happen when making her decisions, and that shows real stakes IMO. I LOVED Lidia’s story. And her and Ruhn’s romance too was a highlight. Honestly the only thing I didn’t really like was Ithan’s story. That was the only part of the book I didn’t enjoy.

[@lamebookclubpod]

@ my biggest issue, personally, was Ithan’s story so we definitely agree there 😂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It always helps to put things in perspective. I’m also really glad that you enjoyed this book! I know I said this in my last comment, but I really wanted to like HOFAS as well. I definitely enjoyed the first two books! One of my favorite things about books is how everyone reads the same story but interprets it differently and/or feels differently about it. 🫶🏼

[@MannyD90]

@@lamebookclubpod I want to be clear that I don’t think it’s wrong for you to dislike the book. My original comment was more about being in the minority of liking it is not always fun. Totally agree with what you said, hearing everyone’s perspectives is good.

[@lamebookclubpod]

@ no worries! I didn’t take it that way 🫶🏼 I’ve definitely been in the minority when it comes to liking a book before so I get it 😂
