In this episode, Megan chats about her first time reading A Court of Silver Flames, Book 2: Blade, by Sarah J Maas, with Samantha who is a longtime fan re-reading along.

We were rooting for you Nesta! We were all rooting for you!

This book took us on a journey ending at the wilderness camp for wayward youth. Despite everything, we remain Nesta sympathizers.

Megan has a lot of questions and theories to share with Samantha halfway through this book. Samantha says that they are all good questions and "interesting theories," which likely means they're all wrong. You'll know if you've finished the book. We wonder the supernatural friend that Nesta has coming to her aid, and how to feel about Eris.

Samantha has a Pegasus theory related to the Maas-verse as a whole. Megan thinks that Rhys is projecting some of his Amarantha trauma onto Nesta, and that Nesta is projecting some of her mommy issues onto Amren.

The House of Wind, aka Wendy, is a real one.

We both speculate wildly about Elain's deal and who Gwyn's father could be.
