Summary: On this episode of Femme & Furious, we’re talking about Blood of My Blood Season 2 Episode 4, a [Portion of My Soul. This episode takes on trauma, memory, and consent. We’ll look at how the show handles Henry’s experience in the asylum and the way Julia reads it, plus the icky power dynamics women have to navigate just to get through a day, like Grace’s run-in with Mr. Cameron. We’ll also dig into the series’ favorite romantic idea, that love means giving up everything for the person you’ve chosen, and whether it still works when the story starts to feel stretched! ⚠️ Spoiler + Adult Content Warning: Heads up bestie this episode is spoiler central, so catch up first if you can!

Summary: “October first is always Threshing. Monday, Wednesday, or Sunday, it doesn't matter where it falls on any given year. On the first of October, the first-year cadets of the Riders Quadrant enter the bowl-shaped forested valley to the southwest of the citadel and pray they come out alive.” - Violet Sorrengail, Fourth Wing We're so back, baby, on this episode of Femme & Furious where Julia & Tabitha dive into the first 6 POVs from the new Empyrean Series Novella, Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros!

Summary: Chapters 46-60 of Burn of the Everflame by Penn Cole gave us a kidnapping, a beheading, and a mating ceremony in the span of fifteen chapters, and somehow it's the quiet, long-awaited conversations that wrecked us. Diem is taken, Ophiucae loses his head (literally), and Taran and Zalaric finally become mates, but every bond in this book is being healed and shredded at the same time. So grab your tissues and your sharpest sword, because we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of the emotional damage on this episode of Femme & Furious! ⚠️ Spoiler + Adult Content Warning: Heads up bestie this episode is spoiler central, so catch up first if you can!
