_____________________________________________________________
Allyson and Becca introduce the Reading After Bedtime podcast and discuss Lena Kazak’s romantasy Between Tides and Thunder (published March 31, 2026), joking about difficult fantasy name pronunciations and asking for social follows and reviews. They read the back-of-book blurb, rate the book 4/5 each (slow start and an early twist they predicted), and debate a “weird” spice level around 2 with pepper words and near-interruptions. After a spoiler warning, they list tropes (elemental powers, arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, one tent, he falls first) and content warnings (attempted SA, past SA reference, PTSD/trauma, torture, character death, child injury). They explain it’s a standalone with an optional Zev POV book and tandem guide, give a detailed plot recap, share critiques on twists/powers and Mayah’s neediness, highlight favorite moments/quotes, praise included art, and preview the next episode on Red Runs the Blood plus an author interview.
