A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Phoenix King: "Then die." You know how Laura Marie loves it when 'the thing" in a story happens? WELL buckle up because all the things are happening in Aparna Verma's The Phoenix King, previously The Boy with Fire. Politics, plot twists, religious fervor, and a red herring that took ACOFAE by surprise, The Phoenix King is a rich tapestry of new and old traditions. Technology and tradition are woven together to create a world where the gods might exist, magic might exist, but power and vengeance DO exist no question. When the old king bends to tradition and his daughter is set to take the throne, old enemies and old gods use the opportunity to make themselves known and cause the ultimate chaos. Filled with a ruthless heroine, mythical creatures, and a love story that is very sweet, The Phoenix King swept ACOFAE away.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Prisoner's Throne: Welcome back to Elfhame, things are a bit wild at the moment. Oak is in prison and The High King and Queen are going to do something about it in 3 days. 3 days Oak! Get it together! Jumping off right from where the The Stolen Heir ended, The Prisoner's Throne gives the reader exactly what they (ACOFAE!) wants, namely some epic Jude and Cardan content as well as some excellent parties, politics, and murders. It wouldn't be Faerie without a little betrayal by characters old and new and it wouldn't be Elfhame without murders. Listen with ACOFAE as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie admit that they've lost the plot a little bit and revel in the majesty that is Jude. High Fucking Queen.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: My So-Called Life: "They don't make them like they used to." Do you remember being 15? Everything MEANT something, everything was important, and everything was life or death.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Iron Flame: "Hear me out..." If you think you know where this is going, ACOFAE assures you that you do not! Surprises abound as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie strap in to discuss Iron Flame. Violet is reeling with a shock, Xaden is hiding things, and don't call it a rebellion, it's a revolution. Romance takes the center stage here but it's the politics between regions, dragons and leadership that really grabs your attention. Secondary characters and plots hold a lot of sway as discussions about assimilation, absorption, translation and the loss of culture are the meat of the story. What happens when every source has been translated 4x times? What happens when the scribes hold all the power? How do you know what really happened? Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Female Friendships: "Its been a long time coming but..." There are a few consistencies on ACOFAE and one of them from the very beginning has been the love of female friendships. All friendship is important and has its place, but there's something special about female friendships that make an impact different than all others. Join ACOFAE as they reflect on their own friendships, their favorite book friendships, and their favorite friendships in media at large. Touching on the fragility of girlhood and the intimacy of the bedroom hangout, ACOFAE focuses on those little subjects that can be often overlooked in media. What does it mean to be a best friend? Are you the BFF/BSF to your BFF/BSF or does your BFF/BSF consider someone else theirs? Is that ok?! Do we have to know ever detail about our friends? If we don't, are we bad friends? Are we!? Light.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: MST 3000: "It's not so serious all the time." Let's set the scene: You're two weeks into a book-hangover. You're DNF-ing everything and AO3 isn't getting you where you need to be. What is a reader to do?! Where do you go?! Sometimes taking a step back and changing up the format can do wonders. Enter MST 3000. Enter Spaceballs. Exit the funk that has kept the slump alive. Parody and Satire can keep you in the genre you want to be, the headspace you want to be, but allow you to laugh at yourself, at the content, and at the world in general. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reset and have a good laugh. Everything doesn't have to be the be all end all ALL the time.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bookhangovers: "Write the good write." ACOFAE is in a book slump. You know that feeling when nothing it hitting, you're DNF-ing everything after a few chapters, and the ick is insurmountable? Where does one go when that feeling threatens to overtake you?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: House of Flame and Shadow (HOFAS) Initial Reactions: "MEANWHILE..." Hype. There was a lot of it surrounding HOFAS. Feelings. There were many different kinds when that last bonus chapter was read (or was there?!). Conversations. That's what ACOFAE is having in HOFAS Initial Reactions. Surprises that's what's in store when Laura Marie and Jessica Marie dig into CC3: HOFAS and what they loved, what they didn't, and what they felt neutral about. Bryce has gone to a place that the readers know but she doesn't and wow does she make some choices there. Hunt and the boys are all tied up, and Tharion and the other boys are getting into all sorts of trouble. World shattering lore drops abound as history is pieced together and origins are discovered in this world and others. CC3: HOFAS takes the reader on an adventure that closes the story of Bryce and Hunt and opens the possibilities of so many more. Release the Snyder cut.

ACOFAE loves a lot of things: consistency, audio formats, and original stories just to name a few. Add in a stellar cast and excellent production value and you have Third Eye - a story about what happens when the chosen one fails. That's right, fails. Laurel was supposed to save the world but she botched it, and now 15 years later is trying to live a normal life as public enemy number 1. But when the tropes start troping and a new savior shows up, it's up to Laurel and her friends to solve the mystery. How can there be two chosen ones? Maybe destiny was wrong?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: ACOSF Revisited: "I respect her." What's that saying? Distance makes the heart grow fonder? That certainly is the case here as ACOFAE revisits A Court of Silver Flames with a fresh perspective, new connections, and a Pattern to apply! Nesta is depressed and making it everyone's problem, Cassian is trying to help and making it worse, and Azriel is the worst chaperone in Prythian. The lore drops here are magnificent as we refocus our read to the prison, the dread trove, and Ramiel and all the fun little things that could or could not have an impact on future books. ACOFAE Laura has a little realization on why the read was so hard the first go through and Jessica Marie comes out with a deeper respect for Nesta than she realized. The love for Rhys and Cassian remain as strong as ever as does the love for Azzy, our favorite bonus chapter bat boy with problems. "Maybe you'll become interesting at last, Elain.” ACOFAE couldn't agree more.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Chain of Thorns: "I'd thrive in Thule." It must be December if ACOFAE is saying goodbye to another section of the Shadowhunters saga! This year we say goodbye the Merry Thieves as we close The Last Hours with confrontation in Paris, a confrontation in the Silent City, and a confrontation in Westminster Abby, of all places. Cordelia and Matthew are in Paris and almost in love, and James is on an adventure to save his sister and Beliel finally does the damn thing and pulls the plot together. If you're expecting Jessica Marie's tears you've got them here and if you're expecting Laura Marie to kick and giggle over James then you're in luck too. It's the holiday season and the London Institute's annual Christmas party is also in full swing to set things off right. Oh and when Jessica Marie says Will, 90% of the time she means James, OH and when Laura Marie says GOLD in the beginning she means Chains. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.

Join ACOFAE for their birthday as they revisit The Virgin Suicides and Fourth Wing with new perspectives, new stories to tell, and new ways to look at yourself! What happens when you're in a funk watching or reading something that everyone loves and you kinda don't? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie take a hard look at themselves and ask if they were the problem, or more specifically "Am I a cynical brat?" as they dive back into the movie and book that rocked the boat the first go around.
