  • Ep 7 Glow of the Everflame: Chapters 44-46 & Epilogue
    Jul 21 2025

    SPOILERS FOR ALL OF THE KINDRED’S CURSE SAGA


    It’s the morning after the Challenging… and it’s giving “queen in recovery, but still on fire.”


    In the FINAL chapters of Glow, Nicole and Lexi walk through the fallout from Diem’s most brutal battle yet: the aches, the aftermath, and the political chaos she’s now expected to clean up (while still bruised and literally bleeding). She’s got a new seat of power, a new mountain of grief, and one very intense interrogation to lead—and this time, she’s the one asking the questions.


    Diem has her crown, her power, and her people—but this war is far from over.

  • Ep 5 Glow of the Everflame: Chapters 29-37
    Jul 7 2025

    In chapters 29-37, we cover some of the most heartbreaking and high-stakes chapters in the entire Kindred’s Curse Saga so far, and it all starts with MURDER. Andrei Bellator is dead. And his death isn’t just personal for Diem – it’s political. It’s violent. And it’s very much a message.


    Nicole and Lexi dive into the fallout: from Diem’s explosion of god-level power (hello crater of godstone) to her emotionally devastating showdown with her father just hours before he’s murdered. We’re talking grief, rage, shaky alliances, explosive council meetings, and multiple possible murder suspects – including the Guardians, the Hanoverres, House Benette, and even House Corbois. Trust no one.


    Lexi unpacks Diem’s spiral into mistrust and numbness, and how her emotional unraveling mirrors (and diverges from) Henri’s. Nicole takes a hard look at the political manipulation Diem’s facing—especially from Remis and Evrim—and how she uses strategy over rage to reclaim control by the end of the episode. And then there's that final scene: Diem standing before House Hanoverre and declaring she will protect all of Emarion—mortal and Descended alike. This is Diem at her most shattered—and her most powerful.

  • Ep 4 Glow of the Everflame: Chapters 24-28
    Jun 30 2025
    SPOILERS FOR ALL OF THE KINDRED’S CURSE SAGAWe’ve officially reached The Ascension Ball, and if Diem thought dancing was going to be the hardest part of the night, she was very, very wrong.Chapters 24-28 are packed to the brim with chaos: Henri shows up (again), Diem sends him to the dungeons, and we get politics, petty squabbles, fashion power plays, and full-on magical espionage - all before dessert. Aemonn is peacocking all over the ballroom in white and gold jacquard, Luther is seething and somehow still being emotionally supportive, and Henri is, well, spiraling in a doublet that doesn’t fit.Burn Chapters: https://www.penncole.com/burn-of-the-everflameCheck out our recent sponsors: https://www.fantasyfangirls.com/sponsorsJoin the FanClub: https://fantasyfangirls.com/fanclubShop our merch: https://fantasyfangirls.myshopify.com/Support the show through our Amazon Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fantasyfangirlspodcastNewsletter: https://fantasyfangirls.com/newsletterWebsite: https://www.fantasyfangirls.com/ Upcoming events:* Empyrean Trivia Party: https://events.humanitix.com/ffg-bng-empyrean-trivia-night/ticketsEncantiCon: https://www.enchanticon.com/TKCSEverflame Ball with Penn Cole: https://mountainsandmagic.com/everflame-ball/Dragon Gauntlet: https://www.rainandrevelryevents.com/dg2Romantasy BookCon: SOLD OUTThe Dreamers & Readers Festival - Use code FFG for a discount off your ticket!*For all Event Discounts - go to https://fantasyfangirls.supercast.com/subscriber_v2/posts/6891Listen now:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/24KydMMzrYfVpDggkFZx4j?si=fd7dc956393041b8Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fantasy-fangirls/id1706179464YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fantasyfangirlsFollow us:Instagram: @fantasyfangirlspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@fantasyfangirlspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosted on Acast.
