    Secrets, Sparring, and Chocolate Cake: Diving Deeper into Throne of Glass

    In this episode of Books, Cats, and Chaos, husband-and-wife duo James and Ka-Ce are back with their signature blend of humor, insight, and just the right amount of snark. If fantasy, cats, and a touch of chaos are your jam, settle in—you’re in the right place.

    Today, we’re diving into Chapters 27–33 of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. With the stakes climbing higher and secrets lurking in every shadow, this stretch of the book delivers intrigue, tension, and just enough levity to keep us on our toes. From Celaena’s obsession with the mysterious clock tower to Cain’s increasingly menacing presence, there’s no shortage of drama to unpack. Add a little billiards chaos, a dose of chocolate cake, and some playful banter with Dorian, and you’ve got a mix that’s as irresistible as it is suspenseful.

    A quick reminder: This is a podcast for adults, by adults, who may drop a bit of colorful language while dissecting the twists and turns of our favorite reads. If you’ve got young ones or sensitive ears nearby, now’s the time for headphones. And fair warning—if you haven’t read up to Chapter 33, you might want to catch up first to avoid spoilers.

    Welcome to the Chaos: A Deep Dive into Throne of Glass

    In this episode of Books, Cats, and Chaos, the husband-and-wife duo James and Ka-Ce return with their signature blend of wit, insight, and just the right amount of snark. If you’re a fan of fantasy, cats, and a little bit of chaos, you’re in the right place!

    Today, we’re diving into Chapters 21–26 of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. This is the first book in the beloved Throne of Glass series, and we’re inching closer to the halfway point. It’s James’ first time reading the series, and he’s tackling it spoiler-free, staying within the confines of this book’s story. No ACOTAR, no Crescent City—just pure Throne of Glass content.

    Of course, a little disclaimer: This is a podcast for adults, by adults, who occasionally drop some colorful language while analyzing their favorite reads. Add in a couple of murders (fictional, of course) to the discussion, and you might want to pop on those headphones if little ears are nearby.

    We also have some exciting updates! You can catch all our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or our (mostly functional) website at bookscatsandchaos.com. Dive into our archives, explore what we’re working on, and—if you’re feeling generous—buy us a coffee. We’re fueled by caffeine, chaos, and the occasional cider-brandy concoction.

    So grab your headphones, maybe a drink of your choice, and let’s dive into this action-packed stretch of Throne of Glass. From daring castle climbs to secret tunnels and mysterious wyrdmarks, there’s a lot to unpack—and we’re here for every thrilling moment.

    In today’s episode, we’re dissecting chapters 14 through 20 of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. This is a spoiler-friendly journey through Celaena Sardothien’s relentless training, political maneuvering, and the high-stakes tests of her strength, wit, and humanity.

    For the uninitiated, this is James’s first time experiencing the Throne of Glass series—and spoiler alert—he’s only made it as far as Heir of Fire. So don’t worry: we’ll keep the chat spoiler-free when it comes to ACOTAR and Crescent City.

    And, as always, a quick heads-up: this podcast is for mature audiences. If you’ve got little ones around, now’s a good time to pop on some headphones.

    Today’s chaos doesn’t stop at the drama in the story. We’ll be sharing our hot takes, favorite moments, and a few relatable struggles about training montages, court drama, and trying to survive without a clue what’s coming next.

  • Ep 0: Books, Cats, & Chaos Introduction
    2024/11/05

    Welcome to our brand new podcast adventure. We are Books, Cats, & Chaos, a husband and wife duo who like to read and talk about the stories. Get to know a little bit about us, what we'll be talking about, and what we learn along the way.

    To keep it simple, we love books, and we love reading. Between the two of us we read everything from Fantasy to Thriller, Mystery to Sc-Fi, Vampires (in all forms), Horror (more cosmic than slasher, but nothing is off the table), and a fair share of Romance in all the ways.

    We'll be doing in-depth discussions about a single series at a time, with some quick one-shot reviews mixed in as we go.

    We're hoping to have fun, and maybe get you guys thinking about these different stories that we talk about. We'll do our best not to ruin things with spoilers, so it'll be easy for you to follow along if you want.
