Listen to full episode:
In this episode of Reading Materials, we discuss Carissa Broadbent’s The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk (released on August 5th, 2025). We unpack our frustrations with the lack of chemistry between the main characters, the repetitiveness of the plot compared to the first book in the duology, and our lingering confusion around the world-building.
Join us for an honest conversation about what worked for us—and what didn’t—in this much-anticipated sequel.
Thank you to Tor and Pan Macmillan for sending us advanced copies of this book!
