In an episode where one TSITP girl read the book first and one dove into the show without reading, there are a lot of opinions flying around.

Jess and Kendall discuss the fifth Book in the Blood and Ash Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: A Soul of Ash and Blood. The TFTM girls love JLA, but they have some less than stellar opinions on this one. Jess had the misfortune of not having read the synopsis before diving in, but Kendall knew what she was getting herself into. That being said, their thoughts and feelings were pretty much on the same page for the latest addition to one of their favorite series.

Kendall & Jess talk about the Booktok sensation, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. The girls are on the same page about this one: it's perfection, no notes.

Xaden has quickly overtaken their dreams and is one of their new favorite Book Boyfriends by a wide margin.

Kendall and Jess discuss the second book in the Flesh and Fire Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: A Light in the Flame. Jess, who is usually not a prequel fan, is surprised by how invested she was in this book - and not just because she wanted more information about the Blood and Ash Series. Sera and Ash's story has captured them both, and that cliffhanger (in true JLA fashion) really left them wanting more. Kendall needs a chart to try and remember the family trees and the hierarchy of deities in this world. They are both as invested as ever in having a god of death as the male lead in this series, but are left with some burning unanswered questions.
