Ep 7 Brimstone Initial Thoughts & Reactions

Join book besties Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly as they sit down, once again, with Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, the author duo behind the Sundered Realms Universe, which includes the Esprithean Trilogy (Riftborne and Duskbound) and the newly released The Ascended, book one in the Aesymarean Duet.
 
This episode serves as a part two to our first interview with Bree and Parker, which is linked below. That interview covered their writing style, creative journey, and spoiler discussions for the Esprithean Trilogy. In this new conversation, we expand the discussion into The Ascended and the broader Sundered Realms Universe. We take listener questions, explore hidden connections, and unpack long-awaited details about how these stories weave together across series.
 
We begin with a brief spoiler-free section for new readers who want to know more about The Ascended and how the universe fits together. From there, we move into a spoiler section focused on The Ascended, where we talk about character arcs, inspirations, emotional moments, and the creative process behind the story. The episode ends with a full Sundered Realms Universe spoiler segment that ties together Riftborne, Duskbound, and The Ascended.
 
Expect deep lore, major reveals, and plenty of laughter, along with more than a few chaotic theories!
 
 
 
Highlights include:
 
💫 The creative process behind the trials and worldbuilding in The Ascended
 
💫 How the authors took familiar mythological and magical concepts and made them feel fresh
 
💫 Insight into character journey's and what readers can expect in the next books
 
💫 Universe-level connections, clarifications, and theory confirmations
 
💫 Hints about the upcoming releases, including Realmblade and Aesymarean book two
 
 
 
Bree and Parker also share more about their planned seven-book universe, their approach to novellas, and how the upcoming Realmblade connects the Esprithean and Aesymarean storylines. We include listener-submitted theory questions about fate, memory, magic, and pantheon dynamics, and the authors tease just enough to keep everyone spiraling!
 
This episode is part of our ongoing Ascended coverage. We also have Initial Thoughts and Reactions as well as a full Theories episode available now. We are so grateful to Bree and Parker for supporting the pod by sponsoring this season. All thoughts, reactions, and spirals are completely our own, and we feel very lucky to share this conversation!
 
 
 
*All episodes include spoilers for the entirety of The Ascended. The second portion of this episode includes spoilers for Riftborne and Duskbound.*

Ep 5 Callie Hart Insights & Clues for Brimstone & Beyond

Step into the quicksilver with book besties Kinsey and Karly as they unravel the intricate lore, worldbuilding, and iconography woven throughout Callie Hart's Quicksilver, book one in the Fae & Alchemy series.
 
In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the mythology that shapes Yvelia; exploring its seven gods, the divine tree of life, and the mysterious quicksilver that binds the realms together. They examine the role of alchemy, the origins of god-forged swords, and the hidden histories of the Fae, vampires, witches, and dragons. From the divine markings of fate to the symbolism of wolves and the echoes of ancient myths, this discussion breaks down the intricate foundation beneath Fae & Alchemy's sweeping romantasy world.
 
This episode is part of the larger Brimstone Prep & Recovery season, a comprehensive series designed to get listeners caught up, keep them caught up, and recover together once Brimstone releases on November 18, 2025.
 
No matter where you are in your reread or how much you remember, this season is here so you never face fae bargains or alchemical spirals alone.
 
Grab your relics and prepare to dive into the Quicksilver. Sanity is not guaranteed.
