Talking Ash: Treacherous Fae, Fairytales, and Favorites

This week, Spoons, Wheezy, and Gino venture into a world of treacherous fae, forbidden love, and a Cinderella story like you’ve never seen before. In Ash by Malinda Lo, we dive deep into a reimagined fable — a story of grief, magic, romance, and a powerful journey of self-discovery.

Tune in as the hosts give this enchanting novel a thorough review, complete with the full spectrum of pinkies-up ratings — from “must-read” to “meh, not so much.” Expect laughs, tangents, and plenty of bookish chaos along the way.
