Welcome to second half of our two part Bookish Breakdowns episode dedicated to Leigh Bardugo's Rule of Wolves! In honor of how deeply we love this book we have temporarily re-named our favorite segment "Ship Wreck or Ahoy" for this episode. Want to find out what we changed it to? Got through the first part and totally want more? Or just curious why we exhausted ANOTHER two hours just talking about this book? Well, have we got the Fandombuzzz episode for you! Danica joins us still (with all her Darkling feels) as our Rule of Wolves fangirling session goes to places we didn't think we'd go. Such good fun. So much that we're definitely having Danica over again for sure for future eps! Either way, we're pretty sure the fun thoughts and sentiments we captured in this episode can stand alone so we just had to throw it out here and give it it's own space!

In a fun and unprecedented way, we now present the first of a two part Bookish Breakdowns episode featuring Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo. That it took a full (and we mean really full) two episodes to get even the first wave of our thoughts and feelings out goes to show you how deeply we love this book and how devastating it has been to our fandom feels. Joining us amidst the wreckage of our fan feels is our dear friend Danica!!! Mostly because she's just as undone by this book and we love having her over for... well anything. Today's episode, we discovered, was all about the cast. Yes. All of them. and it was a grand old time getting that far. If you somehow manage to get through it all, and want more?
