Episode 1: How Deep Is That Tub?

 

Fellow Nerds!  Our first episode of season three of Our Nerdiest Thing is here!  Join us as we discuss chapters Present I through Present IV of the book “A Soul of Ash & Blood” by Jennifer L. Armentrout!

“ASOAAB” picks up right where “The War of Two Queens” ended with Poppy completing her culling and falling into stasis. Casteel and Kieran must speak to her while she sleeps, with hopes that she will awaken as a primal with all of her memories intact. 

In today’s episode, we discuss these chapters, the supernatural beings called tulpas, what it means to be born in a shroud, and ponder what the heck the true story behind Shay is.

Trigger Warning: Self harm

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "I Really Should Be Sober for This". It can be found here!
