High Tales with the Lit Sisters

Onyx Storm: Part 2 - The One Where Xaden's Got a Love Monologue for Every Mood

Join the Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, as they debate whether Xaden’s intense love language is swoon-worthy or just plain extra. He is giving “I’m a tortured soul with a tragic past” energy, and honestly, it's exhausting in the best way. Violet’s dodging venin and trying not to die while Xaden’s busy making grand romantic declarations and picking fights with Princes. Meanwhile, Riddick’s comedic timing is on point, and Mira’s out here proving she's the true queen of no-nonsense. Buckle up — this episode’s got drama, magic, and a surprising amount of orange-related violence.
Ch 15-27

Onyx Storm: Part 1 - The One with the Emotional Support Sarcasm

The Lit Sisters are back, and this time they’re tackling the first 14 chapters of Onyx Storm. Xaden’s teaching now (hello, Professor Hot Pants), Violet’s casually committing treason before breakfast, and there’s a dramatic villain monologue — because exposition is important. Oh, and let’s not forget the knee injury so gnarly even Brennan was like, "Ew." Spoiler alert: It’s a hot mess — but the fun kind. Plus, Riddick’s carrying this book on his sarcastic back, and honestly? We're here for it. Tune in for chaos, laughs, and a side of treason!
Ch 1-14

Iron Flame: Part 5 - The One Where Xaden Pulls a Plot Twist We Weren’t Ready For

Join the Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, as we spiral into full-blown emotional distress over the ending of Iron Flame! We tried to stay on topic, but somehow ended up debating trademark law (can we get sued for this?), the meaning of trust (Xaden, explain yourself), and whether dragon-powered therapy is covered by insurance. The wards may be up, but our sanity is gone—thanks to battles, betrayals, and that ending. Tune in, scream with us, and brace yourself for Onyx Storm!
Ch. 58-End

Iron Flame: Part 4 - The One Where Mom and Dad Are Fighting

Your favorite Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, are back to unpack Iron Flame's mind-blowing reveals, epic fights, and just the right amount of sarcasm. We’ve got surprise second signets, dragons with grudges, and a rival-to-bestie pipeline that no one saw coming. Also, can we talk about how Andarna is consistently trying to prove she’s not a baby anymore. Buckle up— in Andarna's Baby Bjorn, it’s a messy, magical, and mildly concerning time. Join us as we yell into the void, roast fictional characters, and pretend we’d survive in this world for more than five minutes.
Ch 45 - 57

Iron Flame: Part 2 - The One Where Torture Class is a Group Bonding Activity

Ah, the sweet scent of betrayal, backhanded compliments, and whatever the hell that interrogation room smelled like. This week, the Lit Sisters dive into the latest chaos—Dain still doesn’t get the hint, Xaden is totally not jealous (except he absolutely is), and Violet has approximately 0.2 seconds of peace before danger inevitably finds her. Meanwhile, the squad finally learns the truth, a jacket nearly ends Violet’s entire career, and they attempt a heist that proves subtlety is… not their thing. Grab your emotional support lemonade and buckle up—it’s a wild one!

Iron Flame: Part 1 - The One Where We Debate Xaden’s Red Flags and Red Hotness

Join the Lit Sisters as Marisa and Nicole dive into the first part of Iron Flame, where Violet juggles assassination attempts, forced survival training, and the world’s pettiest situationship. We debate whether omissions are lies (they are), Tairn establishes himself as the ultimate dragon dad, and Xaden gets shirtless in a fight—so really, everyone wins. Plus, Violet may be too good at poisoning people. It’s non-stop action, drama, and debates over Xaden’s red flag-to-hotness ratio. Buckle up, because this episode is as wild as Basgiath itself. #TeamTairn
Ch 1 - 20

Fourth Wing: Part 3 - The One Where Violet’s Love Life is More Chaotic Than the War

Tune in as the Lit Sisters spiral through the explosive Fourth Wing finale—because wow, did we not see that coming. Nicole is fuming over all the avoidable drama, Marisa is dramatically staring out of windows like she’s in a music video, and both are questioning their life choices (and Rebecca Yarros’). The dragons remain the only ones making good decisions, while the humans are out here breaking trust, furniture, and possibly the laws of physics. Betrayals are dropped, lightning is thrown, and Dain continues his reign as King of the Buzzkills. Don’t miss this episode—unless you, too, need time to process the shocking events (pun absolutely intended).

Fourth Wing: Part 2 - The One with the Three-Page Kiss That Deserves an Oscar

What do you get when you mix one grumpy dragon, a ridiculous amount of attempted murder, and a lust-induced existential crisis? Apparently, just another week at Basgiath War College. In this episode, Nicole and Marisa break down Violet’s latest adventures, including navigating Dain’s emotional baggage, Xaden’s very inconvenient hotness, and the fact that she keeps surviving assassination attempts like it’s a hobby. Also, best written kiss of all time? We have thoughts.
Ch 16-26

Fourth Wing: Part 1 - The One Where Shadow Daddy Xaden Smolders While Dain Helicopters

Welcome to Basgiath College, where the curriculum includes walking the Parapet of Death, climbing the Gauntlet of Nope, and bonding with dragons who judge you harder than your ex’s mom. Violet’s small but mighty energy is thriving, despite Dain’s overprotective smothering and Xaden’s bad boy "I might kill you" smirks that scream “HR complaint.” Meanwhile, half the class is dead by lunch, Jack Barlow is a walking red flag, and Violet’s secret weapon? Poison. Lots of poison. Buckle up—it’s chaos out here.
