About this listen

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.

Worlds Within — for readers who don’t just love books… they live in them.
