In this spoiler-free breakdown of Chapter 32 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ariel and Corryn are reeling from the bombshell that upends the entire first half of the book: there is no blight. It's a curse, and it's way more specific, painful, and brutal than Feyre (or any of us) could have imagined.

Feyre returns to the Spring Court to find it in ruins, only to be met with a full info dump from Alis that finally lifts the veil on what’s really been happening. We learn about Amarantha’s 500-year-old vendetta, her masterplan to take Prythian from the inside, and the absolutely deranged conditions she put on breaking Tamlin’s curse.

We’re talking the long game fae can play, how Lucien lost his eye, the consequences of Tamlin rejecting Amarantha, and why everyone needs to cut Feyre some damn slack. The stakes in this book are finally made clear, and we’re getting watery bowels right alongside Feyre.

Whether you're here for magical politics, fae worldbuilding, or watching the puzzle pieces fall into place: you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
