For backstory, I'm deep in edits in my own book with when you're on a deadline with your editor, you have like days to finish the entire editing and process.

So when I finally was able to dive into that chapter, we both just collectively screamed.

Okay, so I want to start well off.

Like you said, this is no plot spoilers, but as you can imagine, we are going to give vibes about this book.

So if you consider that spoilers, then this is just not the episode for you.

But with a plot spoiler free question, Lexi, did you like this book?

I don't know if I know the answer to this.

Yes.

That was such a beautifully paced character arc.

Same.

Well, honestly, you took a lot of the words right out of my mouth, but I'll expand ever so slightly.

This book somehow was both exactly what I expected and nothing like I expected all at the same time.

Meaning we got answers to questions that were driving us up a fiery wall during the Shield of Sparrows recap episode.

I can't actually think of a single question that we asked that we didn't in some way get an answer to, whether that was directly or adjacently.

But you also get answers in a way that you did not expect to get the answers at all.

I was someone who did not guess the big twist at the end, and I will leave it at that.

But the moment that it did happen, I was like, well, God fucking damn it.

I have to go back and reread this book again because it's going to be a different book on a reread.

Given that I'm actually rereading it now for – or I just finished it last night now that I think about it.

I can confirm that, yes, it feels so good.
