Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and occasionally commit to the bit a little too hard).

This week, we’re finally stepping into Prythian with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Joining us for this romantasy adventure is a very special guest: Gabe’s wife, Laura, who helps guide us through our first real foray into fae courts, curses, and feelings™. Yes, we dressed for the occasion. Yes, it was necessary.

We talk first impressions, genre expectations, worldbuilding, romance beats, and how ACOTAR hits (or misses) depending on what you’re looking for in fantasy. Expect thoughtful discussion, a little skepticism, a little swooning, and plenty of rambling as we figure out where romantasy fits into our reading lives.

If you want to read A Court of Thorns and Roses for yourself, be sure to use our affiliate link below — it won’t cost you anything extra, and it helps keep the drinks flowing and the microphones on.

And looking ahead to 2026, we’re kicking off the new year with Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. Grab your copy using our affiliate link and read along with us as we dive into ash, metal, and revolutions next year.

So pour yourself something dramatic, adjust your cloak, and join us as we cross the wall into Prythian.
