**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 talk about Feyre and Tamlin's trip to the grassy glen and the alluring song of the singing willow. In this scene, we get a sense for Tamlin's strangely playful, teasing dialogue with Feyre, and start to gain a greater understanding of where the relationship is going as well as the dynamics with Tamlin and his lack of intimacy with Feyre. Tamlin also kisses Feyre's eyes, which lets her see far more of the magic of the world of Prythian, too. We talk about a lot of theories, with some far-reaching implications for the series, like the dream Feyre has at the end of the chapter and who it might actually be speaking to her (spoiler: Sam's unhinged theory that it MUST be Rhys!).
