We’ve got lots of fun discussion about what Rhys is thinking, what Feyre is suppressing and all the things left unsaid in this chapter. For some reason we were also just on one and laughed so much during this ep–it was great!

In this episode, we discuss Feyre being swept away to the Night Court! We start with the tense scene between Rhys and Tamlin (the ex-boyfriends) and then we’re off to throw shoes at high lords and read! Feyre is UNAFRAID of Rhys and we’ve got lots of really fun points of interest. We hadn’t realized but it seems like Feyre is the one who MISTED?? her shoe? Lots of fun and interesting convos and insights into Feyre and Rhys.

Tell us in the comments–when was the last time you threw a shoe at a high lord’s head???

In this episode, we discuss the politics of Chapter 3! There’s a lot of interesting things with this conversation with Lucien and their visit to the village and we have a lot of questions about why Tamlin and Lucien are so concerned with their united front and aesthetics. We get some sense of things within Feyre’s perspective but we really have the chance to think through the logistics they may be dealing with here. What’s going on with that weird village scene? What is Tamlin really worried about? Why does Ianthe hold so much sway so quickly?

In this episode, we jump into the first kind of full picture of life at the newly-saved Spring Court! We’ve got some interesting tension over privileges between Tamlin and Feyre and a whole lot of info (and theories!) about Ianthe and her whole deal. The conversation about aesthetics and the well-being of the court also points to some interesting discussions. 

What did you think of this chapter? Do you think Ianthe is a Blueblood witch? Do you think there’s such a thing as a High Lady? lol

In this episode, we discuss the LAST CHAPTER of ACOTAR!! After 41 episodes and just under 60 hours of yapping–we’re finally finished with the first book! We had a lot of fun discussing the ending of this one and how it might lead to future books, the next book, the series overall, etc. We also fleshed out the theory about Feyre making the drop here (with evidence from Bryce and Aelin also making the Drop??). Lots of interesting discussion comparing the way that this ending is “happy” or not and the differences in approach to her relationship with Tamlin and Rhys. 

Let us know what you think about the ending to this iconic book!!

In this episode, we jump into the events immediately following the third task! Amarantha’s rage and death and the subsequent reactions of everyone, especially the high lords and Rhys and Tamlin. We have lots of fun connections to other parts of the Maasverse too (is Amarantha a valg? Do the high lords give Feyre their first light? And on!). Check it out and let us know what you thought!!

Feyre by madschofield

**All our episodes may contain SPOILERS for all three Maasverse series so please only listen if you've read ALL the books!**

In this episode, we discuss the final trial! We are very close to the end of the book and lots of things are coming to a head! This chapter is super intense and there’s lots of subtle and interesting things happening here–plus lots of interesting connections to other Maasverse series! We have lots of thoughts and ideas about this chapter being Feyre’s ordeal and how the chapter is hinting at Feyre becoming fae with how she is characterized and discussed! We discuss a lot of how Amarantha is thinking but also have lots of interesting side tangents based off certain lines in here: Are Rhys/Feyre actually Hades/Persephone? Is Feyre’s second victim a parallel to Manon killing her Crochan witch sister? Did Feyre make out with the Attor?
