Dammit Sarah!

Courtney and Estefani are back with BookTok recommendations, chaotic romance reads, and deep-dive fantasy theories! After catching up on life and sharing what they’ve been reading, they unpack Eric Jerome Dickey’s The Other Woman, revisit Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale, and spiral into the latest Avatar Six / ACOTAR theories.

The biggest discussion of the episode? Azriel’s bonus chapter. What does it reveal about Koshchei, the War of the Courts, hidden relics, Nesta, the Harp, and the future of Prythian? Courtney and Estefani dive into theories about a mysterious new relic, Asteri-created objects, Miriam and Drakon, the Cauldron, hidden pockets of power, and whether ancient magic could open portals between worlds.

And, of course, they go full conspiracy board on the possibility of a Sarah J. Maas multiverse crossover connecting A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR), Crescent City, and Throne of Glass.

Courtney and Estefani unpack Sarah J. Maas’s Call Her Daddy interview, the new book announcements, and what could come next for A Court of Thorns and Roses. From Nesta’s future and Feyre’s role to Rhysand’s mistakes and Tamlin’s possible redemption, no suspicious non-answer escapes the group chat.

We explore Elain, Lucien, and Azriel, mating bonds, and free will before diving into ACOTAR 6 and 7 theories involving Koschei, the Prison, the Dusk Court, the Dread Trove, and potential High Lord power shifts. Plus, we discuss how Sarah’s experiences with mental health, therapy, and pregnancy inform her characters—and whether Crescent City and Throne of Glass could hold clues to the wider Maasverse.

Before the theory spiral, we catch up on Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, and our algorithm-fueled reading distractions.

Bring your theories. We brought ours.

Spoiler warning: Includes spoilers for ACOTAR, Crescent City, and Throne of Glass. Future plot predictions and title interpretations are fan theories.

This episode uncovers the hidden structure of the SJM multiverse. From Aelin’s sealing of the Wyrdgates, to Bryce’s world-crossing arrival, to Nesta’s emergence as the one who stands at the threshold, we explore how the Sword, Mask, eight-point star, and Valkyrie order point toward a future conflict larger than any single court. Nesta’s true power is not destruction — it is choice. And her destiny is not political — it is cosmic.

Summary

In this episode of the Dammit Sarah podcast, hosts Courtney and Estefani delve into the intricate world of Sarah J. Maas, discussing their current reads, character arcs, and theories surrounding the multiverse. They explore the significance of trials, the connection between characters, and Rhysand's knowledge of the multiverse. The conversation also touches on the importance of trust in relationships and speculations about future crossovers in the SJM universe.

What if the gods you worshipped weren’t creators at all—but exiles? What if they weren’t watching over you, but using you? Today we’re unraveling the so-called gods of Throne of Glass—their true nature, their manipulations, and how their faces echo across the entire Sarah J. Maas multiverse

What lurks in the shadows of Sarah J. Maas’s multiverse? In this episode, we dive deep into the terrifying history of the Valg—ancient parasites of pure darkness who invade worlds, hollow out their hosts, and command golden-eyed armies. We’ll unpack their origins, the three Valg kings, and how their corruption spreads through soldiers, princes, and even beloved characters. Then, we’ll connect the dots across the multiverse—are the Valg cousins to the Asteri? Are Maeve and Vesperus hiding Valg bloodlines? Do Azriel’s shadows whisper with their power? Join us as we explore the lore, the themes, and the fan theories that might make the Valg the ultimate key to the crossover.

In this episode, we dive into chapters 16 through 22 of Heir of Fire, where the tone sharpens and the stakes climb higher. Celaena begins her brutal training with Rowan, discovering both the limits of her body and the buried depths of her magic. Tempers flare, egos clash, and a dangerous fire starts to kindle between them. Meanwhile, Manon and the Thirteen continue their chilling introduction, and Dorian and Chaol’s uneasy choices ripple with consequences back in Adarlan. These chapters lay the groundwork for transformation—testing loyalty, trust, and the painful growth that comes before power.

In chapters 11–15 of Heir of Fire, Celaena’s reluctant training begins—and sparks quite literally fly. As Rowan pushes her to the edge, we see both her weaknesses and her untapped power start to surface. Meanwhile, new dangers and shifting loyalties ripple across the kingdoms, reminding us that every character is stepping closer to battles they may not be ready for. Join us as we dissect the brutal lessons, simmering tensions, and the slow burn of transformation taking root.

In this episode, we explore Heir of Fire chapters 6–10, where Celaena’s training with Rowan begins—and it’s anything but easy. Between brutal exercises, emotional walls, and a reluctant Fae warrior who refuses to go easy on her, Celaena is pushed to her limits physically and mentally. Meanwhile, new alliances stir, Manon’s storyline sharpens with eerie intensity, and the threads of fate begin weaving toward something much bigger.

Join us as we break down the key moments, dig into the emotional weight of these chapters, and share our theories on how these challenges shape the road ahead.

Celaena Sardothien has left Adarlan behind, but peace is the last thing she’ll find in Wendlyn. In chapters 1 through 5 of Heir of Fire, we witness her grief, anger, and reluctance to face the destiny waiting for her. Meanwhile, new characters step into the spotlight—bringing fresh perspectives, deadly missions, and the promise of even bigger conflicts ahead. Join us as we unpack the emotional weight, shifting alliances, and first sparks of a new journey that will change everything.
