Welcome back for another episode of the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! We continue this week with Heir of Fire chapters 40-43. To our surprise and delight this set of chapters turned out to be an emotional roller coaster ride. We laughed, we cried, and ultimately ended feeling hopeful about what the promise of tomorrow would bring for our beloved characters. In Rifthold, Chaol’s allegiance is questioned by both Dorian and Aedion. Though he makes it clear he will stand with whatever Dorian decides, will it be enough? Meanwhile, Celaena and Rowan test the boundaries of her abilities at the Beltane celebration which leads to near burnout, a deepening of their relationship, and a major shift in Celaena’s self perception and skills.

Using a clever drinking game, they meet Commander Jensen, a solider recently returned from Noll, which is home a to a mysterious black stone tower. Meanwhile, Manon embarks on a side quest to get spidersilk from the mythical Stygian spiders. Most people have to bargain for this priceless material, but not Manon. With the help of Abraxos she manages to flee with her life and the spidersilk.

Welcome back to the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! Today we are covering House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7. Do the Gods really favor Rhaenyra?

The plans for Celaena’s next mission are set in motion as she sets sail for Wendlyn, leaving Chaol and Dorian to figure out their next steps without her in Adarlan. | |||

Welcome back to the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! Today we are covering House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4. I have no words to describe the tragedy of this episode. Rhaenys behaved as is befitting of a true queen and champion of the realm with her final ride at Rook’s Rest. We will forever stan her for her sacrifice for team black! Meanwhile, Daemon continues his ghost tours at Harrenhal (with little progress), and the fragile family dynamic of Team Green really begins to fracture as the dragon wars begin. As usual with our episodes, you can expect a full summary with “The State of the Realm”, key insights and analyses in the “Small Council,” and the continuation of Team Black vs. Team Green in the “Fantasy Court of Law!” The Fantasy Court of Law continues to review the gathered evidence to determine which team has a stronger claim to the Iron Throne. *Please note that this episode will include spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4 Thank you so much for joining us today!

| Crown of Midnight: Ch 42-48 Review & Analysis | Hybrid Creatures, I Am the First, and Archer’s Reveal | 04 Jul 2024 | 01:55:53 | |
Welcome back to the Booked On Fantasy Podcast! We are almost to the end of Crown of Midnight, and when we say we were STUNNED by the turn of events - you really should’ve seen our faces. Dorian and Celaena continue to rekindle their friendship through a terrifying escape from some hybrid creature in the catacombs (seems like the king has been creating quite the monstrosities down there). Celaena finally solves part of the riddle when she uncovers an anagram. She believes she’s found a wyrdkey, but to our dismay, the king beat her to it. Last but not least, an attempt to contact Nehemia goes horribly wrong, and Celaena accidentally summons an ominous creature from the depths of the void. | |||

Welcome back to the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! Today we are covering House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3. What another riveting episode with the jumpscare of the summer! I think we can all agree that we’ve seen quite enough of Aemond Targaryen. On a more serious note, Rhaenyra makes her final attempt to reconcile the past with Alicent, but in the words of Ser Simon Strong, “sin begets sin begets sin,” and it is now too late to stop a war with dragons. | |||

The book has really ramped up, and Celaena is finally getting some desperately needed information. "It is only with the eye that one can see rightly." Celaena finally discovers which eye is the right eye and discovers a mysterious riddle hidden behind the wall! According to Baba, this riddle reveals the locations of 3 very important keys. *CUE POTENTIAL MULTIDIMENSIONAL DESTRUCTION* Celaena realizes that the king of Adarlan must have at least one in his possession and that she must find the rest before it is too late. | |||
