We break down why this reveal hit different, what it means for Roque (spoiler: we're devastated and also not surprised), and whether Mustang eating bacon every day to feel close to Darrow is sweet or

In Golden Son chapters 15–21, Darrow plays a game of truth or death with Octavia and her creepy scorpion oracles, the Howlers show up after a very dramatic "take cover" cube, and Sevro turns up with something mysterious in a bag (spoiler: it's Lysander).

Threshing Day | Recap, Reveals, & Theories

L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast ·

2026/09/22

We're a week out from the Threshing Day novella (dropping 9/29/26), so we couldn't wait — this is a surprise bonus theory sesh before the release. We recap what Threshing Day actually is, debate whether Brennan's backstory matters for book four, dig into when Jack Barlow really turned venin, and cast our bets on who's going mad next (Dain? Ridoc? Aaric?). Plus: our "board of directors for dragons" theory, why Cath might be lying about his name, and all the reveals we're hoping book four

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Red Rising episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpodDarrow's plan to survive the gala goes sideways fast — a duel with Cassius turns into an arm getting cut clean off, Octavia oversteps her own law and immediately regrets it, and the whole Bellona family jumps in for round two. Throw in Antonia apparently not being dead after all and Fitchner casually tasing the Jackal, and chapters 8–14 of Golden Son might be the most chaotic stretch

Darrow's final Academy test turns into a full-blown space trap, "Big Bologna" makes his appearance, and by chapter three our boy is bankrupt, homeless, and down a reputation. Enter Pliny, the smuggest, silkiest villain this series has given us yet, plus a very unwelcome reunion with the Jackal. We cover

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Red Rising episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpodIt's here — our last episode of Red Rising, and it's a big one. Darrow closes out the Institute by taking down the Jackal (yes, that reveal), losing Pax in the process, and discovering that Mustang's connection to the Jackal is closer than anyone guessed (except for Melissa — she guessed it). We break down every twist chapter by chapter, react in real time to the ending we did not see

Cassius Finds Out & It's Bad | Red Rising Ch. 29–35

L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast ·

2026/08/31

Ahoy, howlers! We're back in the Institute and things are about to get bloody. This week we cover chapters 29 through 35 of Red Rising — Titus's execution, the Howlers officially forming, the siege on House Minerva, and the gut-punch reveal that finally catches up to Darrow when Cassius learns the truth about his brother. We scream, we theorize, we debate whether Fitchner is secretly Mad-Eye Mooney, and we watch Darrow build an army out of the one group nobody else wanted. Heads up — this episode

House Mars is falling apart from the inside, and we are here for every second of it. In this episode of the L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast, we continue their Red Rising read-through with Darrow and Cassius navigating a brutal civil war for control of House Mars — complete with a horse-stealing heist, a very ill-fated flirtation with Mustang, one seriously cursed nickname for Cassius, and a Titus twist neither of us saw coming. Spoiler-free (we don't read ahead!), casual, and chapter-by-chapter, so you

2026/08/18

Sarah dropped the titles, blurbs, AND cover art for ACOTAR 6 and 7 today and Melissa is (solo, sorry our mics did not survive the emergency pod attempt) breaking down everything we just learned about Splintered Harmony and Forgotten Melody — aka the Valkyrie Cycle Movements. From an initial Ragnarok theory to a full pivot into "is Gwyn secretly a Lightsinger," plus what the blurbs might mean for the Lucien/Elain/Azriel love triangle, the Dusk Court, and those Crescent City connections

Prestigious vs. Prestigious: A Divide | Red Rising...

L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast ·

2026/08/17

Melissa and Ellie are back and diving into Red Rising chapters 15 through 21, where Darrow gets drafted tenth out of a thousand (basically the NFL combine but with more murder), and finds himself trapped in a Silver Elite–coded nightmare with a golden ring and a body count of one. Also covered this week: whether a hot dog is a sandwich (it is not, fight us), the ongoing "prestigious vs. prestigious" pronunciation war, our sudden and deeply unqualified discovery that Pierce Brown is, in

Darrow's Full Glow Up | Red Rising Ch. 8-14

L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast ·

2026/08/10

Darrow's world just cracked wide open — chapters 8 through 14 take him from the mines straight into a secret plot to turn him into a Gold, complete with surgery, new eyes, dance lessons, and a card test that broke both our brains. We're going chapter-by-chapter through Red Rising, and this is where the story stops being Hunger Games in space and starts becoming something all its own. Want more?

Rigelus gloats his way into a "silly geese" moment before Hel's armies clash with Bryce and the gang on the battlefield, Ithan crosses the second line (again) with his backpack straps, and the crew is fully divided on whether water magic is just weak.

Subscribe to our Patreon for our after-party → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod Mech-suits, mates, and a massive cannonball — we're covering chapters 79–86 of House of Flame and Shadow, where Bryce's mask-reanimation plan makes zero sense, Ithan freezes and shatters the Under King (RIP to a real one, or is it — Barrow White theory incoming), Ithan and Perry's mate bond finally clicks (head canon), and Sathia ghosts Tharion via Post-it note.

Sabine is dead (finally, mercifully, ding dong), Ithan accidentally becomes the Prime, Nesta is BACK, and Tharion somehow proposes to someone in front of his wife. We also can't stop seeing energy drinks every time the book says "Prime" and we're not okay about it. Plus, the Afterparty is up on Patreon,

Book Club Podcast, we're covering House of Flame and Shadow Chapters 64–70, where Sarah J. Maas somehow manages to give Hunt a new existential crisis, Ithan continues his campaign to make the worst possible decision in every situation, and a major plotline gets wrapped up so quickly that we genuinely had to stop and ask, "Wait... that's it?"

We spend a truly unreasonable amount of time on the fact that Tharion got wet and grew zero fins, Aidas casually admits he's known about Helena's salt therapy room this whole time (so what was House of Sky and Breath even FOR), and the

Lidia meets her sons (one of them is fine about it, the other is NOT), the Ocean Queen picks a side after insisting she never picks a side, and we finally get some answers about what was in the Autumn King's personal notebook — kind of.
