"I know she wrote this for herself…but I feel like it was for me."Here are some words we never thought we’d say: we just read the new alternate universe Divergent book! Daphne and Kellie are joined by very special guest Gracie (@grapiedeltaco) to discuss all things The Sixth Faction (2026) by Veronica Roth. We revisit the shocking announcement, recap the novel, and discuss how it is both in conversation with and very different from the original Divergent series. Stick around until the end because we also talk about the Modelland rerelease news, for which we are taking a tiny sliver of the credit.Veronica Roth’s Elle profile: https://www.elle.com/culture/books/a71054466/veronica-roth-new-divergent-book-the-sixth-faction-interview-2026/The Sixth Faction book trailer: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DduFiU-K2QW/Follow Grapie!TIkTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grapiedeltacoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grapies_bookstagram/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grapiedeltacoFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

We’re celebrating hoa hoa season with a movie that we have very mixed feelings about: Twilight: New Moon (2009)! Kellie and Daphne are joined by our friend and certified Twilight superfan, Mackenzie, to talk about how this movie was made, how we view it today, and some of our favorite details that we noticed on the third, fourth, or fifth watch.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

"Thank you for changing my life…again."It’s a very unique day in Rereading the Revolution history. We read a book for adults! John Green’s debut adult novel and first fiction book in nine years, Hollywood, Ending, follows two young actors as they navigate modern fame and their relationship with each other. In this episode, we briefly recap the plot and discuss our thoughts about this more mature work from Green in-depth.John’s Stanford talk: https://stanforddaily.com/2024/04/23/john-green-talks-turtles-youtube-and-turning-away-from-ya/Cassie Vu’s website: https://www.cassievu.comHank’s "Who Has Signed Their Name the Most Times?" video: https://youtu.be/20EtLeS4xdE Hosted on Acast.

“I feel like I could probably go on a zip line somewhere else.”You read that right. We read Divergent...again. In anticipation of the release of Veronica Roth's new reimagining of the Divergent series, The Sixth Faction, we're going back to where it all started both for her and for us. Daphne, Kellie, and special guest Amber (@seekingdystopia) give the book a more thorough recap, share some new analyses, and posit lots of theories for the new book.Veronica Roth's Substack: https://veronicaroth.substack.com/Follow Amber!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seekingdystopiaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@seekingdystopiaFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

We made it to the end of the first half of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, one of our most ambitious undertakings yet. Daphne and Kellie answer all of your burning questions in this City of Glass recap, ship our favorite couples, see a tiny bit of battle, and finally get to the bottom of who is related to whom.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

"It has kind of changed my life.."Because one episode was not enough to cover this behemoth of a children's novel, we're back to recap the second half of Michael Grant's Gone (2008). We hope the first half wasn't too weird for you, because we're just getting started with this sci-fi tale described by so many critics as Lord of the Flies meets Stephen King...but with superpowers. The critics didn't even mention the talking wolves or The Darkness. Can you imagine where the plot will go in the next five books of this series? We try to do just that in this episode.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We take on the first half of the epic finale (sort of), visiting Idris for the first time, navigating a series of complicated relationships, being terrified by Valentine's increasing evil powers, and making predictions about the book's ending. Hilarity ensues.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
