Rereading the Revolution

“I feel like I could probably go on a zip line somewhere else.”

You read that right. We read Divergent...again. In anticipation of the release of Veronica Roth's new reimagining of the Divergent series, The Sixth Faction, we're going back to where it all started both for her and for us. Daphne, Kellie, and special guest Amber (@seekingdystopia) give the book a more thorough recap, share some new analyses, and posit lots of theories for the new book.

"I still do not care if Clary or Jace live or die."

We did it, folks. We made it to the end of the first half of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, one of our most ambitious undertakings yet. Daphne and Kellie answer all of your burning questions in this City of Glass recap, ship our favorite couples, see a tiny bit of battle, and finally get to the bottom of who is related to whom.

"It has kind of changed my life.."

Because one episode was not enough to cover this behemoth of a children's novel, we're back to recap the second half of Michael Grant's Gone (2008). We hope the first half wasn't too weird for you, because we're just getting started with this sci-fi tale described by so many critics as Lord of the Flies meets Stephen King...but with superpowers. The critics didn't even mention the talking wolves or The Darkness. Can you imagine where the plot will go in the next five books of this series? We try to do just that in this episode.

"Clary, as usual, runs away crying."

We’re continuing to tear through The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and City of Glass (2009) is too monumental to contain to one episode. We take on the first half of the epic finale (sort of), visiting Idris for the first time, navigating a series of complicated relationships, being terrified by Valentine's increasing evil powers, and making predictions about the book's ending. Hilarity ensues.
