High Queen Podcast

We said we wanted answers… but at what cost?

This week, we’re diving into ACOWAR Chapters 21–29 and things are getting DARK. From a chilling visit to the Prison and a potential bargain with the Bone Carver, to political games in the Court of Nightmares that leave us questioning everything—we are in the thick of it.

And let’s not forget the lore drops… because WHAT do you mean death gods, ancient siblings, and a mirror that can break your mind???

To wrap it all up, we dive into the story of Nephelle and the “unlikely heroine” — and why our greatest weaknesses might actually be our greatest strengths.

Grab your book, your beverage, and your bestie… because this episode is a RIDE.

We are officially out of the Spring Court… and straight into chaos.

In this episode, we’re breaking down Chapters 11–20 of A Court of Wings and Ruin! From tense travel through the Autumn Court to a brutal fight on the ice, Feyre and Lucien are pushed to their limits with no powers, no safety net, and enemies closing in. But what starts as survival quickly becomes something more… healing, trust, and long-overdue honesty.

We’re talking:

• Feyre & Lucien finally clearing the air (and what that means for their future)
• The moment that had us SCREAMING: Cassian and Azriel’s entrance
• And the reunion with Rhysand that absolutely wrecked us

Back in Velaris, we also get a deeper look at what they’re fighting for—trauma, recovery, and the growing reality of war. Allies will be everything… and they’re running out of time. Grab your book and join us!

Feyre is back in the Spring Court—but she’s not the same girl who left.

In this episode of High Queen, we’re breaking down ACOWAR Chapters 1–10, where Feyre begins playing a dangerous game in the Spring Court. With Hybern’s forces looming and Tamlin convinced he’s rescued her, Feyre quietly starts unraveling the court from the inside.

We talk about Feyre’s calculated revenge, the power of feminine rage, Lucien realizing something isn’t quite right, and the moments that show just how much Feyre has changed since leaving Spring the first time.

There’s manipulation, tension, petty victories, and the start of a plan that could bring the Spring Court to its knees.

Spies, smiles that hide sharp teeth, and the first cracks in Tamlin’s court—grab your book, your beverage, your bestie, and let’s get into it.

In this episode, we’re diving into the final chapters of A Court of Mist and Fury—and wow… we have a lot of feelings.

From Tamlin’s shocking choices to the chaos unleashed by Hybern, the ending of ACOMAF delivers twist after twist that left us jaw on the floor. We break down the moments that made us scream, question everything, and immediately need the next book. 

We talk about:

• Tamlin’s desperate bargain and the consequences

• Lucien’s complicated loyalty (and why we’re conflicted)

• Feyre stepping fully onto the chessboard and playing the long game

• The Inner Circle’s loyalty and sacrifices

• The theories and questions this ending leaves us with

Plus, we share listener love, react to the wild final twists, and rate A Court of Mist and Fury—a book that may have just secured its place as one of our all-time favorites!

The Suriel was right.

In this episode of High Queen, we’re breaking down ACOMAF Chapters 49-59—from Feyre’s desperate fight to save Rhys in the Cave of Torture to the revelation that changes everything. We talk the mating bond, ancient protectiveness, morally gray choices, and the difference between rage and devotion.

There’s winnowing through mud, blue stone shackles, worldbuilding you’ll want to remember, and a Golden Queen who deserved better. And of course… Chapter 54. The confession. The build-up. The reason Chapter 55 hits as hard as it does.

Battle, bond, and full emotional release—grab your book, your beverage, your bestie, and let’s get into it.

Summer leaves us with blood rubies… and consequences.

In this episode of High Queen, we’re breaking down ACOMAF Chapters 39–48 — from Tarquin’s fallout and Rhys’s quiet heartbreak to the human queens, truth-orbs, and a throne room performance that changes everything. We talk political maneuvering, Feyre stepping fully into her power, and the moment she realizes she no longer cares what anyone thinks of her.

There’s Veritas and vengeance, Starfall magic and painted hands, Illyrian history and the truth about Tamlin and Rhys’s past. And just when things couldn’t possibly escalate further… there’s one inn. One room. One bed.

Feyre’s world keeps getting smaller—and the red flags keep getting louder.

In this episode of High Queen, we’re breaking down ACOMAF Chapters 8–22, from the Spring Court’s brutal tithe to Feyre’s growing restlessness, resurfacing trauma, and the cracks forming in her engagement to Tamlin. We talk control disguised as protection, the weight of survivor's guilt, Nesta looming on the horizon, and why Feyre’s dynamic with Rhysand feels… different.

There’s banter, tension, uncomfortable realizations, and the beginning of a shift that changes everything.

Trauma, flirting, claws on walls, and the slow unraveling of “happily ever after"—grab your book, your beverage, your bestie and let’s get into it.

A wedding dressed in red. Nightmares that won’t let go. A savior who can’t breathe.

In this episode, we dive into Chapters 1–7 of A Court of Mist and Fury—where Feyre is unraveling, Tamlin is tightening his grip, and everything that once felt like a fairytale starts to rot from the inside out. From suffocating silks and silent dinners to the moment that changes everything…

“Hello, Feyre darling.”

We break down Feyre’s trauma, the warning signs she keeps ignoring, and the first crack in the life she thought she wanted. Prythian is shifting—and so is she.

Feyre has crossed the line she can never uncross — Under the Mountain.

In this episode, we break down the final chapters of A Court of Thorns and Roses: three trials, two impossible bargains, and our very first High Queen Pod book rating.

We talk through Amarantha’s cruel games, Feyre’s impossible choices, Lucien’s quiet loyalty, Tamlin’s restraint, and the very confusing, very intriguing role Rhysand plays in keeping Feyre alive — and sane.

This section is brutal, emotional, and wildly addictive, and it completely reshapes who Feyre is by the final page.

We’re closing the book on ACOTAR… but the story is far from over.
