In this spoiler-packed breakdown of chapters 14–16 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ariel and Corryn ask the important questions: Would Feyre have fallen for Tamlin if the Suriel had kept his mouth shut? Who exactly is the “Dark Mother”? And why doesn’t this spooky all-knowing fae just explain the damn curse if he’s spilling the tea anyway???

This week, we’re deep-diving into the Suriel’s annoyingly vague prophetic energy, reevaluating Tamlin’s every move now that we know he’s playing dumb, and realizing that Ariel might just be the Suriel to Corryn’s Feyre. We also revisit an incredible Gwyn/Tamlin theory, discuss the King of Hybern’s early breadcrumb trail, and make a heartfelt plea to bring Alis back in the redemption arc we’re manifesting for Tamlin.

Plus: We’re officially calling all spoiler friends the Suriel Squad. BYO cloak and tea.

Whether you're here for cursed romance, deep lore, or glamour magic: you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
