Rereading the Revolution – Details, episodes & analysis

“Scott, you have one move!”

Daphne-la and Kellie-wa are wrapping up Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies with the final book in the main trilogy, Specials (2006). To put it into Tally’s words, this book is extremely random, but we do our best to find meaning within it and not sound like total bubbleheads. We’ll be back next week to talk about the movie!

“That seems to happen a lot in this genre.”

Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Mara embark on a very exciting journey into the world of Kass Morgan’s The 100 (2013). We cover the book, CW series, fandom, controversies, and more in this episode in a manner befitting its high drama. Apologies (or you’re welcome, depending on who we ask) in advance for how often Lost comes up in this one…again.

“The world has been covered in Cheeto dust!”

Kellie and Daphne continue their break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about the Divergent movies. Rants and tangents ensue. We also take a moment to discuss and respond to criticisms of Veronica Roth's 2018 post-Allegiant-epilogue epilogue short story, "We Can Be Mended." Plus, a very special announcement!

We deviate from our usual book recaps to discuss something very special: John Green's Turtles All the Way Down (2017) and the movie adaptation that FINALLY came out this month on Max. Heads up, his one's a little loose and goofy. Several rants occur, we unleash our wrath on Goodreads, and a friendship is tested.

"50-60 teenage boys? That's the scariest thing I can imagine."

Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Colin take on the shuckin' Maze, and spoiler alert: there's running (but maybe less than you'd think?). We share our formative experiences with the book as children, and talk all things The Maze Runner (2009), James Dashner, Newtmas, and a whole bunch of other klunk.

"And at this point, I almost screamed."

Kellie and Daphne go back to Chicago one last time to learn what's beyond the fence in Allegiant (2013)--and it's a lot to take in. We get into the extreme pivots that this finale makes, discuss that controversial ending, and try to understand what it was all for. Plus, a priceless ($5) gift is given.

"There's nothing romantic and whimsical about democracy."

Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Katie take a break from the Divergent series to spend an episode in Illéa for Kiera Cass' The Selection (2012). Your bachelorettes dive into publishing world drama, Illéan geopolitics, and teenage love triangles. Our hearts are confused!

"It's almost like she's trying to say something."

In their inaugural episode, Kellie and Daphne take on Veronica Roth's Divergent (2011). Our fearless readers discuss how this dystopian novel came to be, their personal relationships with YA fiction, and the many trials and tribulations faced by Beatrice Prior.
