Love!
I am an OG listener and have been here since the very first deep dive coverage! You guys are such a part of my Monday routine now and I love it!! However, as I’m sitting here listening to Ep 4 for Heat of the Everflame, it feels like Lexi has gone to more of an exaggerated style of narration when describing lots of sections within the deep dive and it makes it feel almost like a disrespectful satire, which is a big 180 from her typical logical observations. I know the intention is good, but it is distracting. Just some food for thought. Love the podcast!

The BEST fantasy podcast!
I come from a world of news outlets and reality tv podcasts. I picked up FFG during Onyx Storm because I finished the book before my friends and ended up going onto binge listen to EVERY EPISODE. Finish an entire series before you listen, or at least what’s published, because while there are spoilers, FFG comes up with the BEST theories and the funniest bets on them. I’ve tried other fantasy podcasts and they’re fine, but the energy of FFG is unmatched and sometimes I find myself bored with some lower energy podcasts. I swear I packed, moved, and unpacked my entire home while catching up on FFG and YOU SHOULD TO! When I knew Kindred’s Curse was the next deep dive, I immediately picked up those books so I could keep up with this podcast, and they NEVER disappoint with selections or deep dives. I’ll take more 3 hour episodes, please and thanks! Oh, and more book recommendation podcasts please!

Lexi and Nicole are my favs
Love this podcast so much. If you have a book hangout you NEED to listen to their podcast. The deep dives are so fun and great to listen to before a re-read. It also makes the characters that much more real. Can’t say enough about it. Truly the greatest🫶

So much fun!
I love this podcast! It’s so much fun and really adds a whole new level to reading these amazing fantasy books!

Author deep dives
It is such a fantastic way to enjoy a book and have the author available to add in more context or hit at bonus context to come

Very loud
I enjoy the content but feel like the ladies are yelling a lot, or maybe they’re just loud and I’m not used to that. Also, 3 hours is a bit too long, it can be hard to keep up since I just don’t have the time some weeks to listen and get lost when I try and break it up.

LOVE
Fantasy Fangirls is the book club I’ve dreamed of! I love being able to analyze books but an in-person book club is daunting. I can listen and read at my own pace but still dive deeeeep with these two! Lexi and Nicole have helped to reignite my love of reading and I’m forever grateful 🫶

Fair analysis but why do they yell everything they say

I didn’t know I needed this
This podcast has been such a delight to discover!!

Great show, lots of ads
I really enjoy this podcast and the deep dives. I appreciate the time and detail that goes into each episode! My only issues stem from the ads. I understand that they bring in revenue, but I end up skipping through the first 7+ minutes of each episode before it actually starts. Then the ads in the middle of the episode are SO jarring and loud compared to everything else.

Ads
Really enjoy the content however the amount of ads have gotten ridiculous from where they first started. Having to skip ahead several minutes, a couple of times throughout a single episode and again at the end is excessive. I understand you’ve turned a passion into a career but it’s starting to give more show me the money and less books are so fun, let’s talk about it.

Incredible
This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PODCAST. All the theories are so thoroughly thought through, the girls have incredible energy and passion and you can tell they just love doing these deep dives. As a reader who’s favorite part about books is trying to pick a part every single aspect of a book this podcast scratches an itch like no other. Thank you both for creating such an amazing podcast I look forward to every single episode.

Love
I love the deep dives into the different book series!! Makes me want to reread and it helps me to find things that I missed from them. Can’t wait to continue listening!
KatieeeeeBowwwwww
A Must Listen!
Honestly these two are who really got me back from a multi year reading slump. I love listening to their deep dives and just having fun with the books they are reading. It’s so much fun to bound with my sister over these stories and their show. The community is so welcoming and I love what they have built for the bookish community!

Love but struggling with long episodes
I love this podcast. The deep dives into my favorite books help me relive and stay in these fantasy worlds. It’s a great mix of being lighthearted and deep. I only wish the episodes were a bit shorter. It’s a lot of time to dedicate each week. I’d rather have more shorter episodes per book than the super long ones. But overall love these sisters and the content!!!

Book Besties I didn’t know I needed
Finding FFG is the best thing I have ever done for my own book reading adventures. They make me feel like I’m part of something bigger. 🥰 I love the deep dives, and while I respect all of Lexi’s world building and lore, Nicole, you add in all the romance you want! I am here for all for it!!!!
RG1921
Wish I had found this sooner!
Okay seriously! I needed this podcast after I finished ACOTAR a few months ago but didn’t know it existed. Now I’m going to be reading as many of the other books our favorite sisters deep dive into so that I can enjoy all the episodes. So good! Much love from a fellow CO Fantasy FanGirl!

Love!!!
FFG feels like hanging out with friends talking endlessly about the books we love! I just love these sisters and am soo grateful I found this podcast after reading Empyrean and needing a hangover cure bad! Thank you thank you FFG for everything you put out. Note I love the long length of the shows and would request even longer episodes! They’re perfect for my commute during the week.

Love!!
Makes me think, picked up so many points that I missed and helped me navigate my Empyrean series hangover. Love these gals!!

Everything and More
Is it sad that the minute Lexi rang the bell I knew exactly what toy she had without seeing it?

An Absolute Gem of a Podcast!
I only recently discovered the Fantasy Fangirls podcast while reading Onyx Storm, and I quickly became obsessed. I started from the beginning and have been rereading Fourth Wing along with them, and I am loving all of the additional context and thoughts they provide. Nicole’s chapter summary for episode 6 (which includes THE chapter 30) had me laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face and had to pull over while driving to compose myself!

The absolute best
FFG is insightful, fun, and truly feels like I’m listening to my smart best friends talk about things I’ve thought myself (and some things I never thought of before!)

My favorite ladies on long car rides
Truly my favorite podcast giving me key insights into my favorite books! These ladies help me see a different perspective or help me understand more of each book
LadyTric
Fantastic!!
Highly entertaining and I loved the ACOTAR deep dive & I love that they really do such great research and love all the crazy theories because I don’t do this when I read and it just makes me think a little more when rereading my favorite books. Great podcast!

The Perfect Podcast
I started listening to this podcast after reading Onyx Storm because I was in such a book hangover and I needed someone to talk to you about it. I am so happy that I found this podcast! They deep dive into my favorite series and feel the same way about a lot of the things that I do in all of the series I’ve read. Just like Nicole, ACOTAR was the book that got me back into reading and made me fall in love with the fantasy genre all over again. I now listen to their ACOTAR episodes while rereading the series and plan on doing the same for Fourth Wing. It has made reading my favorite series even more thrilling and eye-opening. I hope to one day see them do a deep dive into Crescent City once that series is complete as well as TOG. I love the connections that they make throughout the Maas Multiverse and look forward to their theories and postulations going forward in the SJM realm. Thank you, Lexi and Nicole for being everything I needed during a rough time! - Michelle

Thanks, besties!
I’ve been listening since the very beginning because I NEEDED Fourth Wing content since none of my friends knew what it was at the time. It has been such a joy to watch this podcast bloom and become such a big success! I feel so much joy whenever they “nerd out” over the same things as me. Plus the sisterly banter makes me so so so happy.

Love this pod!!
I started listening to this podcast recently after finishing Onyx Storm and I love it! The amount of thought and work they put into it is INCREDIBLE. The episodes are a little long but I don't mind because that just means I don't need to fumble around with my phone as much. Keep up the amazing work!!
JessieVB
Love them!
Love their sisterly banter. This podcast is so helpful to understand the overall imperium series. They have the best energy!

I love you guys! Best podcast!!!
You all are so much fun to listen to and really get me into the reading more than I already am! I love your theories and the way you all go about delivering the content! It’s so much fun and not a dry moment! Thank you for helping me get through my work day!!!!

Romantasy Hangover Cure
I love this podcast so much! Lexi and Nicole I love y'all, I feel like we're bookclub besties at this point. I get such bad book hangovers and your podcast is such a cure for the feeling of being ripped out of a world I've been engrossed in for days or weeks lol. I so much look forward to Mondays, when I catch up on my laundry and dishes while I listen to y'all deep dive into the things that have been living rent free in my mind for far too long. Keep doing what you're doing. I plug you to all my book loving friends ❤️❤️❤️

It feels like I’m actually in the same room with them, feels like I’ve been besties with them for years even though they don’t know me lol Please continue what you do ladies you are amazing!

Best Podcast Ever!!
I was introduced to this podcast by a friend as I had just finished ACOTAR and planning on reading fourth wing soon. She said you must listen to this podcast. I am the older sister and listening to these two reminds me of me and my sister so much lol. I am very sad Onyx Storm deep dive is over but I’m very much excited for the Kindred’s Curse coverage. I love me some Luther!!! Thank you Lexi and Nicole for the smiles and laughs every Monday while at work ☺️ highly highly recommend if you love fantasy/romance!

Must listen for any Empyrean fans
Recently started listening from the beginning and I cant get enough!! I have a much better understanding and appreciation for the Empyrean series now. The hosts make it feel like your hanging out with friends at book club discussing your favorite books.

Onyx Storm deep dive
I’m so sad that we are almost done! I have loved this deep dive and I don’t how, but this podcast gets better and better each time! I love it!

Informative & interesting
I just started listening to this podcast with their coverage on onyx storm, it’s so incredibly interesting how they break everything down & go through the book. They’re also both very funny and I look forward to new episodes each week!
DanielleAlisa
Detailed, Lots of fun and lengthy
While I have so much fun listening to Nicole and Lexi, I struggle with the length of the episodes. There also aren’t clear transitions between ads either. I will continue enjoying and listening for sure (their humor, banter is wonderful!) but beware the length of these episodes can be LONG!
UOPXgirl

Kyliesotelo

Y’all are most amazing!! I am just starting listening from the very beginning… it’s so much fun listening to your theories for Empyrean Series, even though I’ve read through Onyx Storm, so I know some of the ones you got right and wrong. You inspire me to dive deeeeeeep into my favorite books and their lore! ❤️

Obsessed with this podcast
If you’re nerdy and love facts, deep dives, and incredible commentary this is the podcast for you. There has not been a day since starting The Empyrean series that I have not thought about the story or the characters and this podcast has helped my obsession while also giving me a community of other obsessed book nerds who love this stuff as much as I do. So excited for the next series!

The deep dive I never knew I needed after ACOTAR
These sisters put so much time and effort into these very well put together episodes. You ladies were born for this! I feel like I’m at a book club where my friends are talking about a book that I want to obsess about. Thank you for helping me get over my ACOTAR hangover as I reread and deep dive. It’s healing my soul!

I Can Listen for Hours
This podcast is not only incredibly informative but also super entertaining. I love these ladies relationship and banter. The only thing that will get me through the next few years until book 4 is listening to these episodes on repeat.
dayxday001
Would be 5 stars except….
I love this podcast and the hosts are fun. I have one major gripe and it’s the reason why I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars - the serious overuse of the word “quote.” Yes, we know you are quoting the book you’re covering!!! The word has now lost all meaning to me. Please find another word or phrase to use!!!!!

LOOOVE the Deep Dives
After reading the Empyrean series for the first time, FFG Clips kept showing up in my social media. I decided to give one of the Onyx Storm deep dive listens a try and I am so glad I did! Empyrean is the first fantasy series I’ve read and the FFG deep dives with analysis of each chapter has helped me to better understand this amazing world Rebecca Yarros has created.
Mrsjenchickens
The perfect way to stay in the loop long after finishing the last page!
I love love love this podcast!! When I finished Onyx Storm, I needed MORE Onyx Storm, and this is the perfect solution. I await each episode and learn something new every time. I am so grateful for their thoroughness and attention to detail. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I even read the book because there was clearly so much I missed! The banter has me loling and I will be sad when they finish with this book series.

Excellent
This podcast is so in depth! If you have a question about something in a book they deep dive then they probably answer it on the podcast. Just wait until they do some travel math for you. They are fun, funny, and well informed on their topic. Give them a listen, it will be a good time.
