In this spoiler-packed breakdown of chapter 25 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ariel and Corryn are deep in their feels over a chapter that’s almost too sweet to roast. But alas, we can’t help but poke a little fun at TamTam.

Tamlin’s out here shredding on his magical fiddle like he’s headlining Warped Tour, and Feyre’s falling in love in real-time. We talk about how this Summer Solstice moment might be the only time we see pure, uncomplicated love between them, and how it hits way different on a reread. That Solstice kiss? Maybe it’s Tamlin’s way of making up for Calanmai. Or maybe it’s a last gasp before things go full red flag.

We also break down the difference between love and choice in Feyre’s relationships, defend Frost and Starlight with our whole chests, and go full metal Millennial with our references. There’s some light cringe (looking at you men who perform music for their crushes), but also some heavy foreshadowing. Because when Feyre says this is the happiest day of her life… we know what’s coming.

Whether you're here for fiddling fae, doomed romance, or sad-girl foreshadowing, you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
