**All our episodes may contain SPOILERS for all three Maasverse series so please only listen if you've read ALL the books!**

In this episode, we discuss the Tithe! This is a super interesting and really key chapter in this book and gives us an interesting look at the Spring Court way of doing things, some interesting possibilities for political tensions (cold open points to this but also they just seem a bit tense for a standard tithe) and there’s a lot of moments to see how Feyre is very quick to be disgusted with Tamlin. There’s lots of interesting things to consider in hindsight in this chapter!

Let us know your thoughts!!
