Have you ever binge-read a new favorite series, only to end up with a book-hangover? Or finished a heart-stopping scene only to look around and not be able to talk to anyone about it? Maybe you’ve even felt embarrassed about what you’re reading because it isn’t considered a “classic” by people you know. Book Talk for BookTok with Jac and Amy is the go-to literary podcast to discuss your favorite novels with your newest book-besties. They use their literary backgrounds to analyze what makes these stories so special and why the writing resonates with readers. Join them in taking modern women-written books seriously.

Best friends Jac and Amy conduct a literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas's debut novel, Throne of Glass. In this episode, they discuss chapters 49 - 55.
Each episode is broken into 2 parts. This is part 1 of this week's episode. Stick around for part 2, which airs on Thursday.
(Spoilers for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire will be discussed. Any larger series or other SJM spoilers will be reserved for the end of Thursday's episode in part 2.)
Every episode, Jac and Amy use their combined 13 years of literary academic training to analyze and give voice to reasons why you may love or hate today's popular books. They embrace and respect modern fantasy, romance, and romantasy books written by women. And so, it is in their nature to analyze these books as you would any other novel you might have discussed in school.
Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Despite Chaol’s encouragement, Celaena is unable to stand and fight Cain as she is plagued by unseen demons from the In Between. Fearing death, she calls on Elena to help her beat off the horde long enough for Celaena to rise and fight back, ultimately defeating Cain. Celaena’s grave injuries distract her and a helpless Dorian such that they do not see Cain approach to finish her off, but Chaol intercedes and ultimately kills the brute. Celaena is named the King’s Champion, and Kaltain – seething at her failure to incapacitate the assassin – is imprisoned for poisoning the Champion. For a week, Celaena is attended to by Dorian, Nehemia, and Phillipa as she recovers, during which the King and Perrington scheme and Dorian stands up to his father to protect Celaena and Chaol. Despite their bond, Celaena ends her romantic relationship with Dorian, while Chaol, ashamed and dejected for murdering Cain, cannot accept comfort from his friends. He only finds hope for the future when he sees Celaena and her own happiness at the prospect of her freedom.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
The King of Adarlan returns to Rifthold, and Celaena cannot get far enough away from him. Though Chaol recognizes her terror, he doesn’t understand it, and instead is caught in the turmoil of his own thoughts: He wants to make sure Celaena wins, but struggles with his role in retraining the world’s greatest assassin. With the final Test so close at hand, Celaena convinces Nox to flee the castle and avoid death by ridderak. Kaltain continues to lose her mental and physical autonomy while Celaena uses Dorian to distract herself from the dangers that haunt her. On the day of the final duel, Celaena is able to successfully incapacitate Grave, but is poisoned before the final fight with Cain. She succumbs to the hallucinations of bloodbane, only to encounter her foe on a completely different battlefield.

Following her morning of gifts from Dorian, Celaena joins the rest of the court at temple in celebration of Yulemas.

That evening, Celaena dresses with Phillipa’s help and crashes the Yulemas ball, much to Chaol’s chagrin and Dorian’s pleasure. When it’s clear Nehemia will not become the source of trouble for the evening, the assassin and the prince dance the night away and end the magical evening with a kiss. Certain another champion will be killed soon, Celaena goes hunting in the passages only to find Cain and his otherworldly monster.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
While thoughts of dead Champions plague Celaena, Nehemia distracts the assassin by leading her to the kennels, where they find Dorian and his new litter of puppies. Celaena defends the lone ill-tempered pup of the pack despite Nehemia and Dorian’s insistence it should be put down. When Nehemia learns of the slaughter of 500 Ellwye rebels, she goes to Celena for comfort. Bedridden by her monthly cycle, Celena has visits from both Chaol and Dorian despite her burning desire to be alone, but Dorian persists and confesses his feelings about himself, his father, and Celaena’s role in their dynamics. Chaol watches Celaena and Dorian’s relationship continue to grow from afar, and Celaena begins to doubt Nehemia’s intentions after discovering her ability to speak fluently in the common tongue. But all is forgotten on the morning of Yulemas, when Dorian gifts Celaena candy and her new puppy, Fleetfoot.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Consumed with Elena’s ominous warning, Celaena continues to search for information about Wyrdmarks and to reveal the meaning behind those that surround the ebony clock tower. While with Nehemia, Celaena is confronted by Cain and Verin, where Cain reveals he knows her true identity as Adarlan’s Assassin. Deep in research at the library, Celaena is desperate to find anything about Wyrdmarks, but instead stumbles upon an old mysterious text from her destroyed homeland, only adding to her growing concern about the mysterious evil foe she must face. While training, she and Chaol are met with news about another champion’s brutal death. Celaena joins Chaol to examine the body, and a chilling realization dawns on her: Maybe the one murdering the champions is the same as Elena’s mysterious evil force. After an animated conversation with Dorian, Celanea struggles to block out the memories of her past and is visited by Elena once more, who warns her about the next trial.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Celaena dreams of being broken in Endovier, and is saved by Chaol waking her to the day of Samhuinn. Though she is able to spend time with her friends in the palace throughout the day, Celaena is confined to her bedroom during the evening’s festivities. But a phantom breeze calls Celaena’s attention to draft in her room, which leads her to a hidden door safeguarding secret passages to forgotten parts of Rifthold’s stone castle. During her illicit exploration, Celaena uncovers a secret route to escape the castle and a hidden window to spy on the Great Hall. When she realizes Chaol is returning to check on her, Celaena rushes back to her room, where Chaol and Dorian both pay her a visit. But the night’s adventures don’t end there, and Celaena is greeted by her dead ancestor, fate, and the evil that lurks beneath the castle. The morning brings ill tidings of another death of a king’s champion.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Despite her successful completion of the first Test, Celaena continues to train her weakened body. Her growing relationship with Chaol stutters to a stop at the swift death of Sven, a competitor who attempts to escape from the palace. Though she does her best to find comfort in her budding friendships, Celaena cannot avoid the hurts of the past, finally giving in to the grief she has been staving off for a year. Dorian attempts to get closer to Celaena and is surprised to find a complex woman and not the snarky assassin he assumes she’d be, finding in the process the determination to forego his mother’s wishes to marry an eligible woman of the court. Too soon, Celaena braves the second Test to prove herself the King’s Champion, but when she is close to victory she chooses to save a peer rather than claim her prize.

(Spoilers for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire will be discussed. Any larger series or other SJM spoilers will be reserved for the end of Thursday's episode in part 2.)
Every episode, Jac and Amy use their combined 13 years of literary academic training to analyze and give voice to reasons why you may love or hate today's popular books. They embrace and respect modern fantasy, romance, and romantasy books written by women. And so, it is in their nature to analyze these books as you would any other novel you might have discussed in school.
Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Despite her successful completion of the first Test, Celaena continues to train her weakened body. Her growing relationship with Chaol stutters to a stop at the swift death of Sven, a competitor who attempts to escape from the palace. Though she does her best to find comfort in her budding friendships, Celaena cannot avoid the hurts of the past, finally giving in to the grief she has been staving off for a year. Dorian attempts to get closer to Celaena and is surprised to find a complex woman and not the snarky assassin he assumes she’d be, finding in the process the determination to forego his mother’s wishes to marry an eligible woman of the court. Too soon, Celaena braves the second Test to prove herself the King’s Champion, but when she is close to victory she chooses to save a peer rather than claim her prize.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
With Chaol at her side, Celaena forces her body beyond its limits in her effort to prepare for the looming first trial in her bid to become the King’s Champion. She judges her competitors at the first gathering of the group, and more than once Celaena wishes she could put each of them in their place. However, at the command of her sponsors, Celaena tries to perform in the middle of the pack without standing out enough to do well or poorly during her training. Along the way, she meets Nehemia, another potential ally or foe who is similarly captive in the palace at Rifthold. In the end, it takes all of Celaena’s strength and will to successfully complete the first Test.

Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Following her year of slavery, Celaena Sardothien returns to Rifthold as a guest of the palace and would-be Champion with Dorian and Chaol. Despite Celaena’s wariness of the glass castle, the assassin finds herself pleased with her accommodations and the ready supply of books Dorian is willing to give her. But unlike Dorian, many are unhappy with Celaena’s presence, including the King of Adarlan, who does not hold back his ire regarding Dorian’s choice of Champion. Meanwhile, Celaena does her best to hide her fear of the king and her disdain about her missteps as a competitor on the eve of the competition’s first trial.

After a year of slavery in the Salt Mines of Endovier, Celaena Sardothien is given the chance of a lifetime: to compete for the role of the King’s Champion and earn back her freedom.

Over the following weeks, Celaena – formerly Adarlan’s greatest assassin – travels in chains with the Prince’s retinue back to the capital city, while the past and many secrets that haunt her lurk around every corner.

Only for them to find that they played right into Rigelus’s hands and land in his trap, one that requires sacrifice and good-byes in order for Bryce to escape with the truth and newfound conviction to raise Hel’s armies and kill the Asteri.

Fearing he has put Agenda Daybright in terrible danger, Ruhn flees the Autumnal Equiniox celebration, while Bryce and Hunt stumble upon a secret affair taking place in the coat closet. The festivities end early for most, including Hypaxia and Ithan, who seek to contact Connor and instead summon the Under King. Others are rudely interrupted as well, including Ruhn and Day mid-tryst and Bryce and Hunt by Bryce’s sudden ability to teleport. Things come to a head for the crew the next day when Cormac learns some truths about Emile’s location that means the boy is far out of his reach, Tharion tries to steel Ariadne for himself, and the crew are lured to the temple of Urd, only to be ambushed by three different entities.

Others are rudely interrupted as well, including Ruhn and Day mid-tryst and Bryce and Hunt by Bryce’s sudden ability to teleport. Things come to a head for the crew the next day when Cormac learns some truths about Emile’s location that means the boy is far out of his reach, Tharion tries to steel Ariadne for himself, and the crew are lured to the temple of Urd, only to be ambushed by three different entities.

Ruhn Danaan’s pleasurable evening is rudely interrupted by the arrival of his grumpy cousin, Cormac, Crown Prince of the Avallen Fae and newly betrothed to Bryce.

And when a new day dawns in Lunathion, neither Bryce nor Hunt are very welcoming to the visitors who intrude on their work day and threaten their brief season of peace.

Lehabah’s sacrifice allows Bryce the time she needs to kill Micah. But when the Aux don’t come to arrest her for the crime of killing Valbara’s Governor, Bryce is terrified to realize it’s because the Horn has opened portals for the worst demons of the pit to rise up and terrorize Lunathion. While Bryce attempts to help those who are helpless, most of the Aux are stuck following protocol, and only the canine shifters and some of the Viper Queen’s fae guards come to assist her in her attempt to aid the humans of Asphodel Meadows. In an effort to save Ithan, Bryce sacrifices her ability to secure herself in a bunker and must reveal her deepest secret to close the portals to Hel. But when only one portal closes, and Sandriel makes it clear she has communicated Bryce as a threat to the Asteri, Hunt seizes the opportunity and help from Hypaxia to wreak havoc on the remaining archangel before he leaves to save Bryce.

Despite pleas from her mother and Hunt, Bryce refuses to see a mediwith about the pain in her leg. Her investigation leads her to a new hidden truth, that Danika was somehow involved in Synth and kept the information from Bryce.

While Hunt reacts poorly to this, Bryce uses it as motivation to take care of her wound and assist in the creation of a Synth antidote in the process. Hunt is faced with the consequences of his actions, and while Bryce tends to his wounded body she also uncovers more deadly truths about Synth that put everyone she knows in more danger than ever before.

In this special episode, Jac and Amy have the privilege of interviewing one of their favorite authors, S.B Nova, to talk about her writing process and how she both world-builds and develops characters for her novels.
Nova’s debut novel, Draken, marked the start of her Southern Fire series. Closely related is her second novel, and a personal favorite, A Kingdom of Exiles, the first book in her Outcast series.
Nova lives in the UK where she spends most of her time reading, writing, and, in her words, drinking too much caffeine. When asked for book recommendations, Nova continues to be one of Jac and Amy's top authors, and her novel A Kingdom of Exiles has set the bar on what they wish and hope to achieve in their own writing.
You can find Nova on Twitter and A Kingdom of Exiles on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible.
