Emma, Tabitha, and Maura enter Prythian to explore A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas on this week’s episode of Recapping Romantasy!

It’s a story old as time: a girl transforms a man into husband material, only this time he’s an immortal fairy and she’s an illiterate mortal with IBS. Tangents include underwear, Coneheads, and the universal disappointment in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast reveal.
