Well, we made it. The end of the third book.

Once more, Stephen and Mark will dare to enter the Fourth Wing universe, written by Rebecca Yarros. This is book 2 of the series, and if you thought things were wild before, what with all the lightning and exploding bedroom furniture, you're in for another amazing ride. Besgiath War College (not to mention everywhere else) is a dangerous place, and so the guys will need to have some luck on their side on this journey.

In this episode, Stephen and Mark visit "The Bright Sword" by Lev Grossman. One of our favorite authors, we are so excited to read his latest novel about Camelot after Arthur's final battle and all that was left undone and unfinished. For such a story, it's only appropriate that the boys continue their journey of the 2XO Bourbon label with the French Oak expression.

The guys have never made it a secret about how much they love books written by Blake Crouch. In today's episode, they talk about Crouch's first commercially successful novel, not previously released in the United States. What if, in a single night, half of everyone you knew and loved suddenly no longer saw you as a friend, a lover, a family member? What if they were trying to murder you because they were convinced that you were no longer one of them? A high octane book like this needs something to smooth to mellow the evening out. To help them keep pace, Stephen and...

In the final FINAL episode of Season 4, Stephen and Mark become so enamored with 2XO Bourbon from the last episode, they decide to make Old Fashioneds with it and completely forget to talk about what they forgot to talk about in "The Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury.

Maybe the 2XO is just that good.
