Hey book besties! In this episode, Anna, Kim & Kristina discuss The Ashes and the Star Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent. This will be a two part episode, so be sure to tune in next week for Part 2!! This is the second book in Carissa's Crowns of Nyaxia series, and she is fast becoming one of our all time favorite authors. Her writing is truly unlike anything we've ever read and we didn't think it was possible but we somehow love Raihn even more than we did after The Serpent and the Wings of Night! Happy listening!

*SPOILER WARNING for the entire Crowns of Nyaxia series including: The Serpent and the Wings of Night, The Ashes and the Star Cursed King and Six Scorched Roses*

In honor of our current obsession with KU sports romances, we thought it only appropriate to do a Current KU Reads episode focused solely on just that! We loooooove a sports romance and we found some absolute faves (and not so faves) to chat about!

Hey book besties! In this ep, Kim & Kristina hop on to discuss the Crowns of Nyaxia novella, Six Scorched Roses. Poor Anna had a stomach bug & couldn't join us...then disaster struck & Kim's laptop shut off during recording, therefore losing all of her audio in the process. Luckily, Kristina had recorded our Zoom but the audio is noticeably different than our usual quality. We are so sorry about that! We pride ourselves on putting so much effort into producing high quality episodes for you all. Kim is in a huge fight with Apple about it, don't you worry. Also, because we didn't have Anna, we did not have an outline & as you will see, it was slightly chaotic without her to keep us in line. Whoopsie! You have our deepest apologies & it will not happen again!

ALERT ALERT: Spoilers for The Serpent and the Wings of Night
