Published on: 21st July, 2025

We're trying out a new episode format. This week, we'll cover the synopsis, and next week, we'll analyze specific points, characterizations, and world-building. That established, do NOT listen to this episode if you even remotely enjoyed Rose in Chains.

Rose in Chains is a retooling of a Dramione fanfiction, called The Auction. We've done our best to review it on its own merits (there aren't any). Trigger warnings for the noncon themes in this book a la Handmaiden's Tale, and please note that we get a little spicy with some of our commentary.
