In this spoiler-filled breakdown of Chapters 41 and 42 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ariel and Corryn are back Under the Mountain and losing it… in the best way. Between a mysterious “pig man” fae throwing shade at Amarantha on behalf of the King of Hybern and Rhysand pulling a Say Anything, things are getting wild in Prythian.

We unpack the layers of the iconic scene where Rhys sends music into Feyre’s cell, from the memes that made it funny to the emotional gut punch of what it really means. Is this music a lifeline, a message, or straight-up foreshadowing for Feyre’s future with wings, flight, and the Night Court? We think it’s all of the above.

We also spiral (lovingly) over Tamlin’s possible attempt to “help” Feyre solve Amarantha’s riddle, debate whether the pig man was warning or threatening Amarantha, and mourn the fact that Feyre’s first kiss with Rhys had to happen like that.

Whether you’re here for the emotional damage, the foreshadowing of Feyre’s wings, or just to scream about that cursed first kiss—you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
