You’ve asked, you've waited, and now, we’re finally delivering! Welcome to our two-part deep dive on the international best selling Romantasy novels A Court of Thorns and Roses and a Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas. 

In this first, spoiler free episode, we touch on our initial reactions to the series, and think a bit about what romantasy is and why it’s so appealing to so many readers.

Plus, we’re joined by some very special guests for these two episodes: our younger siblings!  They may claim to have been manipulated into coming on the show, but we’re glad to have them both on for this discussion 💛
