  • TRULY BRILLIANT

    It’s so refreshing to hear two highly intelligent women, Abby and Ronnie, talk about lore, theories, plot twists and holes ect instead of hearing two girls only giggling about the men (from what I’ve heard in other podcasts). The amount of detail they go into about their research on the books is insane! Every episode blows my mind and I bloody love it. I have listened every day since I found them and I’ll be so sad when I catch up! Thank you Abby and Ronnie!

    I’ve been listening to Abby and Ronnie since they started DinD and I feel like I’m listening to my friends talk about all the things I love. Of course the theories are amazing, and they always bring receipts, but the opening pre-deep dive banter has me cackling on my way to work each morning and I’m here for it. I highly recommend! “Love you, bye.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Crescent City: Jesiba Roga Deep Dive | What’s Really in The Library of Parthos?
Q: Why did Jesiba give Bryce the Archesian Amulet?
The hosts suggest Jesiba may have intended Bryce to become guardian of the Parthos books, since the amulet protects against demons and wards and connects its wearer to Midgard. They also consider that its role in Bryce's journey may have been unintended.
Crescent City: Jesiba Roga Deep Dive | What’s Really in The Library of Parthos?
Q: What are Jesiba Roga's powers?
The hosts describe her spellcasting, enchantments, protective wards, command over the library's sentient books, apparent ability to gather information, and possible powers absorbed from Apollion. They speculate that she may have some ability to read minds.
Dragons After Dark: Off Campus - The Most Mature Romance Ever Made?
Q: Let's start at the beginning. What do you think is the reason for the success of this show? Why do you think it's been so wildly popular?
The story is deeply engaging because it blends a warm, nostalgic romance with substantive, realistic life issues, portraying a world where relationships develop with depth and seriousness rather than gimmicks, and where side characters are richly drawn, contributing to a believable, heartwarming narrative.
Crescent City: Bryce Quinlan Deep Dive (Pt 1)
Q: Basically asking us to break down what Bryce's powers were, what she got from the star, what she got after her drop, what she got from the horn, what she got after she claimed all the other pieces of Thaistar.
Bryce starts with a third of Thea's star (Starborn) giving her inherent starlight; after the drop she gains absorb/charge abilities, teleportation (winnowing) enhanced by Hunt and Azriel, and gains the Starfire laser ability from the additional star. She has the horn enabling portal-walking when charged, and the Starborn powers grow to include Terraforming and the ability to unleash Truth Teller and the Star Sword when the third of Thea's star is fully assembled; interactions with the mask reveal further power dynamics, including how her star can shield against the mask and guide her to power sources.
Crescent City: Hunt Athalar Deep Dive
Q: What is your favorite series of the three SJM series, favorite book of the series, and favorite moment/character?
Abby and Ronnie give spoiler-free, high-level preferences across Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, and Crescent City, with Mist and Fury often favored as a top book and Cassian or Hunt among their favorite characters, noting how perspectives shift between books and how re-reads deepen appreciation.
