This week, we discuss The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent — a blood-soaked romantasy where gods pull the strings, vampires rule, and survival is an art form.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The gods’ role in shaping magic, fate, and devotion
- Traditional vampire tropes — and how Broadbent makes them feel new
- Power, politics, and the cruelty of the Kejari
- Oraya as our human entry point into a world that’s both sacred and savage
- Our love for Mische (sunshine in this dark world!)
- The sensory world of blood — scent, taste, and consequence
If you love divine meddling, deadly trials, and slow-burn tension that draws blood, this episode will sink its teeth in.
