I love how this podcast introduces deep thinking in what much of us just believes to be simply entertainment. Most of the time I would feel guilty for just reading and listening about fictional worlds but these two goddesses made fictional into academical for me. I also love how even if there are...Read full review »

I have been a listener from the beginning and LOVE this podcast. I’m not a critical reader, I read for entertainment/enjoyment and I learn something new about ACOTAR/SJM books every week. I find myself talking back to Jac and Amy in my car when I listen. They feel like my friends
superfan2010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
They cant get through an episode without mentioning things from the following books in the series. For example, I’m listening to the CC book 1 episode and they’re throwing facts about CC book 3…. I feel like i need to read the entire 16 books before listening to an episode for fear of spoilers...Read full review »

As someone new to the fantasy world, fantasy books can be confusing. The in-depth world building, characters, special abilities of each character, etc etc. It’s all just a lot to keep straight. This podcast has helped me see and understand these novels in a way I was unable to. I thoroughly enjoy...Read full review »

In every single intro they state there are spoilers with or without warning. All negative reviews I’ve seen are about the spoilers. This is a podcast so I assume you listen, I don’t know how you would skip the first minute of each episode but I don’t want anyone ragging on my girls. Read the...Read full review »

The hosts combine sharp literary analysis with incredible humor and personality. Savvy, canny, crafty, a delight to listen to on my way to and from work. Clever editing keeps the conversation flowing.

These ladies do their deep dives so well and each episode is fun to listen to! I’d suggest listening once you’ve read all the books in ACOTAR because you can’t really do a deep dive without connecting threads to future books/chapters.

As a night shift NICU nurse with a 1+ hour commute this podcast has literally saved my life. I was resistant to listening to a podcast because I thought I would it hate, but driving safely was becoming a problem, so I gave in and now it is my favorite part of the day. It feels like I finally have...Read full review »

I really wanted to like this podcast! As someone who's listening to ACOTAR via the Libby App I have to go 2-4 weeks in between books and I wanted a refresher of Book 1 while waiting on Book 3, WHY were they talking about spoilers for Book 4 on Episode 1, of Season 1, I had to stop listening...Read full review »

This is hands down my favorite podcast! Jac and Amy are incredibly talented in what they do and also happen to be hilarious. Since joining the SJM fandom it’s been so nice to have an outlet to learn more about the books and look at them differently. The ideas and lenses these two use have helped...Read full review »

Absolutely love this podcast! I have been listening to it while at the gym and it gives me a reason to go workout. It is so entertaining I forget I am even working out! I absolutely love the idea for this podcast. It also helps keep everything fresh in my brain while I am reading the new House of...Read full review »

I found this podcast after I finished reading ACOTAR and didn’t want the story to be finished yet. This has become my new go to podcast and I’m looking forward to see what the new seasons will hold! Love listening, and I find myself laughing and smiling pretty much the whole episode. Y’all are a...Read full review »

Listening to Jac and Amy have made me look at SJM’s work in a totally different light. I love hearing their insight on these books and laughing along with them. If you love SJM you’ll love Book Talk for Book Tok!

So I’m going for my paralegal cert and a prelaw track degree rn and this show is helping me think more critically about my work and how to try and find the subtext in the readings
Persie12345 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
Love this podcast so much that it pushed me to write my first podcast review! I recently got into the ACOTAR series thanks to you both and have LOVED delving into your analysis of each of the books x
Ani-an-Ani via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/02/24
I don’t usually leave negative reviews but I am very disappointed. I was really enjoying the in depth chapter by chapter literary analysis of Sarah J Mass’s novels until the podcast devolved into a thousand mini episodes interviewing other authors, answering fan theories, and basically wasting...Read full review »

Im here to listen and analyze ACOTAR. Im still reading Throne of Glass and havent even touched CC but the past three episodes on ACOMAF i have to keep skipping around so I dont get spoilers. If you want to do and episode about the multiverse FINE. But youre little “spoiler warnings” dont do...Read full review »

Obsessed!!!! This podcast is a Chefs Kiss for sure. The Sexy Chicken Sisters have changed my perspective of ACOTAR and SJM as a whole. Can’t wait to go thru Crescent City.
Kr8zeK8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
I absolutely love your podcast. I can’t wait till you analyze silver flames and find all the things that I missed. However, I’m also loving this summer where you interview other authors and I have a suggestion. Danielle L, Jensen. She is so amazing and I think you both would love the bridge...Read full review »

How I have missed literature analysis!! When I was in high school my favorite classes were my AP English courses where we critically analyzed classic and modern literature. I loved it so much I became a therapist, where I now get to analyze people and their patterns of thought and behavior with a...Read full review »

Hi guys absolutely love the podcast! Currently working my way through each episode! ACOTAR got me back into reading books and allowed me to find my favourite genre.

I left a less-than-glowing review and they’ve deleted it. The hosts don’t seem to want any feedback.

Listening to this podcast makes me feel like I am sitting with two of my best friends. It’s an equal balance of inappropriate jokes and critical thinking that makes it so relatable, enjoyable, and educational.
Alyssa1900 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/23
I love this podcast so much, it has been great after finishing the series. I do dislike how they pronounce some of the names, but I’m sure we’re all doing that on some point. Thank you both for deep diving into the book, I’ve been learning so much and catching things I hadn’t the first time.

I absolutely adore this podcast. I’ve been listening since season one, and it has quickly because my favorite podcast ever.

I love this podcast so much, has enhanced my reading experience, and explored thought provoking questions and themes throughout the series. Please do ACOSF!

My go to podcast for every time I have a long drive or downtime. I love the chats, theories and banter! After being turned off by my first ever book podcast “I’ll read what she’s reading” I am so happy I found this one! They seem like they could be my best friends
R609E via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/23
This podcast was perfect to listen to as I finished the ACOTAR series- all the lingering questions I had about characters choices that seemed strange to me (like licking tears) were considered with thoughtful analysis and helped me appreciate the writing more I did on my initial read.
alexlu222888 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/23
Listening to podcast has been the most amazing experience ever. I first read the ACOTAR series when it first came out when I was a teen, and I still re read them to this day. However, I have never had friends or family to share the novels with, and listening to Jac and Amy feels like I have two...Read full review »

I’m so happy I found this podcast today !

Jac & Amy are so fun to listen to and have me laughing and crying on my way to work with this podcast!

I knew no one who had read the acotar series when I first discovered it, and boy did I want to talk about it.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for a podcast, but I’m loving this so much I can’t help myself.

I can’t wait to read the series over with all of this analysis in...Read full review »
abbiesings via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/23
I love the breakdown of the books and all the literary analysis. Amy seems so sweet and kind and patient. I want so bad to like Jack but I just can’t. I don’t like how she subtly belittles Amy. I also am not a fan of jack’s singing and constant Taylor swift references.
vic1874729184 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/23
So glad to have found this podcast after reading the series twice through I was feeling a void! You girls are awesome and I’m loving the breakdown of things I missed even after reading twice through!

Hi, My name is Savannah, I go by Savvy - and I’ve been avoiding writing this review, because I didn’t know how to put into words how much this podcast and the two of you helped me through a very hard time in my life.

This is such a fun podcast! The two hosts vibe so well together and they bring such a higher understanding of one of my favorite book series. I am always so excited to listen to every episode!
RachelWazHere91 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/23
As a big ACOTAR girly this podcast has kept my fixation going long after reading the books. The hosts make it feel like you’re talking to a friend but always pick up on special insight into reading that I missed on first glance. Upbeat, fun, & personal - everything I want from a podcast, cant...Read full review »

I feel like I found my people! I jumped into season 3, ACOWAR, because that’s the book I’m on, and now I’m sad that I’m caught up. The Harry Potter references are so good, although we ⚠️ do NOT support J.K. Rowling ⚠️ This book series was the first one I started again since high school (11 years...Read full review »

I love love Amy and Jac. I love listening to their points of view and opinions on things I would have never thought of. These books are so good but having this extra discussion is just *chefs kisses*! I hope they don’t only do ACOTAR! I’d love to hear more about different series once this series...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast because of my love for ACOTAR, but I will continue to listen no matter what book they chose to analyze next. They inspire me to want to look deeper into the books I’m reading. Listening to them is like having a conversation with my best friend. A million stars
