Penn Cole

So I can't say no because I probably will finish.

And then Kindred's Curse, which is the spark of the Everflame, like that series by Penn Cole, I DNF'd book three.

I couldn't do it.

The FMC was being too naive, too far into the series, and I just couldn't take it anymore.

Okay, we gotta add it to the list.

You wanna give a brief synopsis? Kindred's Curse by Penn Cole.

God, you know, like how the hell do you describe what happens in that book? It's amazing.

Great fantasy series.

I've just finished it before recording this.

But I have, well, I'm partway through Burn of the Everflame by Penn Cole.

I'm finding it a little bit hard to concentrate on it and I don't want to give it any less concentration than it deserves.

Yeah, same.

I wasn't allowed.

Penn Cole asked me not to talk about it until after everything else, until after all the arcs.

And I said, can I say that I was the first? And she said, yes.

Nice.

You would just think that like as people, you and I, we are people who have a podcast, who interview authors, who interview big authors.

There are big authors that we've interviewed who are excited to see us again.

Like I was shocked that like Penn Cole remembered us.

I was like, oh,

Okay? If you're still here, let's get into it.

This episode is part one of two, where we recap and discuss Glow and Heat of the Everflame, which is books two and three of the Kindred's Cursed Saga by Penn Cole.

Burn, the final book in this series, just released on September 8th, so what a perfect time to recap before this epic tale comes to its conclusion.

Now, before we give you our unhinged synopsis, let's talk about our drink of choice for Glow of the Everflame.

It cracks, which is not supposed to happen.

And then the rebels blow up the fucking island.

So like right before the bombs go off, we see DM's mom who, again, if you remember from the first book, she's been like, gone we don't know where she's been turns out she's been on the island she's been here the whole damn time what the fuck so now we know mama bellator and henry are involved somehow in the blowing up of the island they've been planning this for a long time they didn't know dm was going to become queen right and then fucking pen cole who we love dearly because she's an amazing author but fucking pen cole gives us the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers we have no idea who lives who dies what happens after the explosion and the book ends and this is why literally the first time i read the book like i think i read the last sentence and immediately downloaded the second book or the third book and started reading it because i could not handle it and then after the third book i realized the fourth one wasn't out there yet and i might have cried a little bit Um, so that is the story of a book two in this most amazing series by Penn Cole, who we love, but also hate a little bit.

Love to hate, hate to love.

The week is here, babe.

Today, we are covering chapters 15 through 24, and Lexi and I have only read up to chapter 24 in the book.

Exactly.

At least, yeah, he will be removing the 10-pointed star, but, ah, he learns some valuable information from Luther, I think.

Y- oh, we'll get to that.

Well, but while we're still on Vance and what he was doing in Luminos pre this fight, one of our questions that we asked last episode to each other was do we think that Vance sought out Henry and tried to bring him to Ophiuchus' side? And we are so happy that the wonderful Penn Cole is- With her FFG segment, Phone a Pen.

And you bet we asked her this question.
