We’ve never done a special episode before, but a special series like this requires one! Amity, Lauren, and Steph of Shmindle Shmumlimited share their reactions to the newest release in the Empyrean Series - Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros! Books 1 and 2 in the series, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, are available on Kindle Unlimited, and we imagine Onyx Storm might make its way there eventually. This episode features the voice of podcast listener and fellow Empyrean Series super-fan, Kelda! The crew shares their thoughts regarding impactful series like this, such as Harry Potter, and they get into some predictions and hopes for the rest of the series.
