Subscribe to our Patreon for our after-party → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod This week Melissa and Elle are covering chapters 57 through 63 of House of Flame and Shadow, and buckle up because a LOT happens — and somehow we still have more questions than answers. We spend a truly unreasonable amount of time on the fact that Tharion got wet and grew zero fins, Aidas casually admits he's known about Helena's salt therapy room this whole time (so what was House of Sky and Breath even FOR), and the Golden Prince of Hel strolls out and goes "welcome, son" like that's a normal thing to say. Meanwhile, Ithan is out here trying to resurrect his voodoo doll wolf alpha, Ruhn and Lidia are doing whatever that was in the cave, and Bryce becomes Queen of literally everything before deciding that prophecies just mean whatever you want them to mean — which, respectfully, is not how that works. Oh, and the Autumn King is dead. Two kings down, too many questions to count.

We're breaking down Sathia's absolutely devastating takedown of Bryce's Fae logic, the murder twins finally getting names (Seamus and Duncan, bold choices Sarah), Ruhn giving Lidia the smoochy kiss we've all been waiting for, and the cave parallel that has Ellie going full red-string conspiracy board about all of SJM's worlds being one.

We dragged him through House of Flame and Shadow Chapters 29–35 anyway: Bryce gets shackled by her absolute trash bag of a father, the Autumn King helps himself to Truth-Teller (rude), Ithan goes necromancer-shopping to un-kill Sigrid (we have Thoughts on resurrection cheapening a death, thank you), Jesiba Roga continues to live in Melissa's head as Joe Rogan for reasons no one can explain, Lidia FINALLY reveals herself by dunking on The Hawk in an elevator — RIP the coolest name with the least impactful death — and then casually saves the entire gang before nuzzling Ruhn goodbye and yeeting herself off a cliff (with a bullet, just for fun). If your boyfriend/husband/situationship has ever side-eyed your SJM obsession, this is the episode to put on in the car — Zeke is the everyman ambassador and he's doing his best. Spoilers through HoFaS Ch. 35, plus ACOTAR and Throne of Glass at large, so reader beware. New chapters every week, Patreon afterparty as always, and somebody please bully Zeke into starting Red Rising in the comments.   Website→ https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/ Merch → https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/category/all-products Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod IG → https://www.instagram.com/lamebookclubpod/ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2exV4FVCLeN7mYfxcNs9cB?si=36805589642e442c Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l-a-m-e-book-club-podcast/id1703598706 PODCAST BUSINESS ENQUIRES: lamebcpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Subscribe to our Patreon for our after-party → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod Buckle up, besties!! Chapters 15 through 21 of House of Flame and Shadow are the ones that sent the entire fandom into a full-blown spiral, and we're getting into ALL of it. From a hologram info-dump that has readers divided, to a single sentence that may have just confirmed one of the biggest theories in the SJM universe, to a moment so brutal and unexpected our jaws are still on the floor — this stretch of holdfast is packed. We're breaking down the plot holes that have everyone yelling "wait, he can do WHAT?!", connecting dots between Crescent City, ACOTAR, and Throne of Glass, debating whether a certain character was always secretly the villain, and asking the question no one wants to answer: did Bryce just bring something terrible into a brand new world? Plus theories on who bought out you-know-who, why Azriel reacted THAT way to the hologram, and a Ruhn moment we genuinely cannot stop thinking about. If you've read these chapters, you already know. If you haven't — what are you waiting for?!

Subscribe to our Patreon for our after-party → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod   Starting House of Flame and Shadow is already… a lot. In these first few chapters, we're thrown right back into chaos with zero breathing room—Bryce is in a completely different world, Hunt and Ruhn are getting absolutely wrecked, and somehow we've got magic, mech suits, and multiverse theories all colliding at once. We break down everything from the wild crossover moments to the questionable choices (looking at you, magic bean), and try to figure out if this book is actually setting up something genius… or just spiraling.   Website→ https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/ Merch → https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/category/all-products Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod IG → https://www.instagram.com/lamebookclubpod/ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2exV4FVCLeN7mYfxcNs9cB?si=36805589642e442c Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l-a-m-e-book-club-podcast/id1703598706 PODCAST BUSINESS ENQUIRES: lamebcpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It is our second-to-last episode covering House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas, and things are officially popping off! Melissa and Ellie are breaking down the absolute chaos of chapters 64 through 70. We are diving deep into Baxian's massive reveal as Danika's secret mate, Tharion making the wildest choice to enslave himself to the Viper Queen (and then immediately asking for PTO), and Ruhn and Cormac bonding over their terrible fathers. Plus, we discuss why Ruhn needs to focus on the heist at hand instead of planning to overthrow the Autumn King—one coup at a time, sir! We also get sidetracked by a very real, very traumatizing story about Melissa getting pinched by a stranger at Target for St. Patrick's Day.

Chapters 22–28 of House of Sky and Breath sent us fully into distress. Between secret rebellions, suspicious alliances, emotional whiplash, and yet another reason Bryce and Hunt can't have peace, we are officially overwhelmed. In this episode, we break down Ruhn's mysterious connections, Bryce's growing power, the Bone Quarter questions that refuse to be answered, and the relationship choices that made us pause… hard. Add in theories, red flags everywhere, and classic L.A.M.E. Book Club tangents, and you've got an episode that left us equal parts obsessed and frustrated.   Website→ https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/ Merch → https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/category/all-products Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod IG → https://www.instagram.com/lamebookclubpod/ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2exV4FVCLeN7mYfxcNs9cB?si=36805589642e442c Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l-a-m-e-book-club-podcast/id1703598706 PODCAST BUSINESS ENQUIRES: lamebcpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When Prince Cormac threatens the gang when they show no interest of helping the greater good, Bryce and Hunt blow him off, though Ruhn thinks twice after speaking to Flynn and Declan. While Bryce and Hunt agree to renege on their Winter Solstice agreement, Ruhn agrees to help Cormac contact Agent Daybright.  Sponsor: BetterHelp.com/BOOKTOK - to get 10% off your first month of therapy Learn more about your ad choices.

Well Hunt's visit with the Oracle went better than Bryce's and Ruhn's visits but not by much. Her words definitely stuck with Hunt though given the weird looks he can't stop shooting Bryce's way. The trio debates how the horn could be repaired but everyone has different theories. Bryce grapples with some dark memories during their research.

Hunt and Bryce are on their way to the Comitium after a game of nose goes with Ruhn on who has to go see the Oracle. Bryce makes the mistake of scrolling through Hunt's photos on his phone and we all know you have to be careful when scrolling! The pair's timing truly couldn't be worse when they go to leave the barracks. Good thing that Bryce is an iconic genius.

Well Hunt at least has realized that he  royally screwed up so that's a good start. Too bad that he only hits this realization right when everything blows up. Literally. In the aftermath of a rough night, Bryce and Ruhn make a deal to help with their respective quests. The Autumn King isn't thrilled with the partnership at all and decrees that Bryce needs a full time guard/babysitter. Hunt + Bryce = Roomies!

Bryce is taking the Viper Queen's advice to heart and struggling. Her desperation leads to Hunt and Lele's introduction. Needless to say, Lele is OBSESSED. A few more of Hunt's wayward assumptions get disproved. We also get a bit more background on how Bryce ended up working for the mysterious Jesiba. Ruhn's own assignment leads him to invite Bryce (and, unknowingly, Hunt) to Luna's temple for a mini history lesson.

Time for a little house tour of the Frat Pack's lovely home, complete with a beautifully painted table in the foyer. Bryce's visit causes a mini uproar, especially when she starts asking about the Viper Queen. After butting heads with Bryce, Ruhn's day gets even worse when he sees who is waiting for her outside. Hunt gets a reality check from Bryce and also nails a superhero landing.

This week starts out with a delightful visit with the Autumn King where we get to see him belittle our beloved Ruhn. In between the jabs, there are quite a few minor details scattered like breadcrumbs that lead us to think this guy knows WAY more than he lets on. Meanwhile, Bryce begins the fun process of baiting Hunt and its entertaining to say the least.
