In this spoiler-filled breakdown of Chapters 45 and 44 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Feyre’s final moments Under the Mountain are brutal, heartbreaking, and deeply symbolic… and are driving us crazy.

We debate whether the faeries’ sudden reverence for Feyre is genuine or just another act of survival under Amarantha’s rule. Ariel and Corryn dive into Feyre’s spiritual awakening as she begins to believe in Fate (and how that single realization echoes through every Archeron sister’s storyline).

Meanwhile, Rhys is getting wrecked by Amarantha and still doing everything he can to save Feyre, while Tamlin, uh… does the bare minimum, yet again. We unpack how this moment marks the beginning of Tamlin’s downfall and foreshadows both Feyre breaking his heart in ACOMAF and the emotional abuse that follows.

Whether you’re here for the Fate theories, the Rhys rage, or to yell “TAMLIN COULD HAVE DONE MORE” with us—you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
