In this episode, we discuss Feyre’s last night before the final trial! We discuss the situation in the closet with Tamlin and then Rhys (*note*: title/the ep overall is lighthearted but we do also have more serious discussion about the kissing scenes). We also discuss the way that scene is dealt with and portrayed, and the circumstances and reaction to it. There’s lots of subtle moments and internal thoughts here and then the classic conversation between Rhys and Feyre at the very end. We’ve got lots of thoughts and lots of tangents this episode! Is Rhys’s beast form a wyvern (the coat of arms for Adarlan?) Did Jurian and Rhys trade secrets mind to mind under the mountain? Was the Suriel tricking them into a blood oath? Lots of interesting convos, theories, and multiverse discussion in this one so give it a listen!

In this episode, we discuss the second trial! There’s lots of fun interactions on a very mental and interpersonal level which are super fun to analyze. There are a lot of interesting implications for Rhys and Feyre’s relationship, how fate plays into things (the symbolism of this chapter is also really interesting, especially considering how it could be setting up later books!). We also have some fun tangents about valg, Lucien, Jurian’s ability to communicate (because SURELY he found a way?!?). It’s an interesting discussion on a surprisingly complex little chapter so let us know what you think in the comments!

In this episode, we discuss Feyre’s first night on the town with Rhys! (lol) as well as Lucien and Tamlin’s oath, warm cloaks, Amarantha’s coat of arms being WAY too close to Adarlan’s, and Rhys’s lineage as either god or valg! Okay but really, there’s sooo many insane fascinating parts of this chapter that point to a lot of other theories about the multiverse, etc.

In this episode, we get a nice quieter UtM scene where Feyre is doing her “chores” and has a REALLY interesting conversation with Rhys. This is one of the first longer convos they have and their dynamic is super interesting and fun to read, especially in retrospect! We also chat about the Lady of Autumn and her possible role in Book 6 (with however much Lucien will be involved). We also have a super interesting theory about Tamlin being a Havilliard (instead of a Galathynius as we often postulate). Let us know what you think!

In this episode, we jump into the bargain with our dear Rhysand! This chapter has lots of interesting little pieces of lore and foreshadowing and some really interesting descriptions of different characters. We discuss Rhys and Feyre’s perspective of course, but also the role/importance of Lucien throughout the series, and the mental gymnastics Feyre is already doing in her head about Tamlin.

In this episode, we discuss Feyre after being “welcomed” Under the Mountain! We begin with Lucien healing her and lots of interesting considerations (Why does Lucien having power make Tamlin tempted by Amarantha? What’s with his power??) We also get some Jurian backstory–and okay seriously WHO TF IS Clythia?? Then we get into the scene where Amarantha asks Feyre for her name. That scene has really interesting descriptions and notes about Rhys and the Amarantha deals with him, plus some interesting imagery with him and Feyre. Also–a slight ToG tangent (because Sam is reading that right now!) makes for a FASCINATING theory about Rhys and Feyre’s end game–are they gates?? Also some really interesting discussion of the roots of maybe both of Feyre’s names and we get the riddle. We also discuss Chapter 36 which is a relatively short discussion despite being such an important moment but we still have some good discussion there!

In this episode, we finally get ALLL the LORE. It’s THAT chapter, with Alis where we finally hear the full story and the curse and everything that’s happened in the past 50 years. Warning–if you’re a Tamlin defender, this will not be a fav ep lol! We do a LOT of wondering what was in his head for 50 whole years and also discuss logistics of the curse, Amarantha’s own thought process and how she got and maintained her hold over them, we also have some really interesting discussion about Jurian since we’re getting his backstory (is Clythia…still alive?? lol). We realize also that we read these books maybe…harder than we should or than they were meant to be read because we have a LOT of questions that aren’t well answered. Let us know what you think!

In this episode, we discuss Feyre’s final moments in the human realms! We have lots of interesting discussion about the resonance of these last moments and particularly Nesta and Feyre being on the same wavelength the whole time. We also chat quite a bit about names and Feyre saying never to mention her name again (plus Nesta’s comment about how far can she get with a “fortune and a good name”!!). We also discuss some possibilities for Book 6 (as usual lol) and end with a really interesting discussion about the connections between Urd, Wyrd, and the Cauldron! We never really see people discussing this quote but it makes a really interesting case for how the powers of the three series are connected! (That part begins at 41:59!)

In this episode, we finally get to the conversation between Nesta and Feyre where we find out what Nesta knows and how she’s been living all this time! There’s lots of interesting moments throughout the chapter with some small moments of closure (this is our last full chapter in the human realms!) and interesting moments with old acquaintances. We also go on lots of tangents about Elain and their parents (with some fun, slightly unhinged theories there too!). But of course, the main focus of the chapter is that conversation with Nesta and Feyre and there are SO many things we thought were fascinating in terms of how Nesta is described, how she dealt with the glamour, and more. Let us know what you think!

In this episode, we discuss the full Archeron sister reunion! Lots of interesting interactions between the sisters here with a particular focus on Elain. We dissect some of the imagery and foreshadowing with her character and some of the more funny and mundane things like her vegetable garden (which she hadn't thought to make before!) and thoughts on being poor and who that last line is really about (which sister was actually more brave??)

There's lots of interesting aspects to Lucien's anger with Tamlin and with what Tamlin may have wanted Feyre to do. Then we get into the return to her family and her sisters' attitudes (and how she thinks humans now look "unfinished" after only 3 months away?!?)

In this episode, we get to some sexy time with Tamlin and Feyre! Although we ended up talking about the sex way less than we thought lol. We had lots of thoughts about the set up and circumstances around the sex and also noticed some possible signs that SJM was already trying to signal that he wasn’t the one! Who else forgot that this chapter begins with a Tamtrum?? We also chat quite a bit about motives for each–yes, they were into each other and this was a long time coming but they also have likely other motives as well here and we can’t overstate how the curse must have been weighing on Tamlin’s mind in this scene.

In this episode, we discuss Rhys’ visit to the Spring Court! We have a few really interesting moments that add to our Lucien theory (we first get into this theory in Episode 11 titled “Was Lucien trying to team up with Hybern all along??!” starting at 48:27). Then we get into a bunch of smaller discussions about how things work with the curse, and things between Rhys and Tamlin and Lucien, particularly wondering about Rhys and Lucien’s relationship (why does Rhys know the Fox mask is fitting for Lucien??) And then of course dissect the foreshadowing around Feyre’s subconscious interest in Rhys. We also pull out Chapter 54 from ACOMAF and have some interesting discussion comparing Rhys’ perspective with his performance here. This chapter is super iconic (particularly with all the begging and High Lords brought low).

In this episode, we finally get to the Summer Solstice! Lots of interesting dynamics here with Feyre at a fae party, feeling that fae music (and wine!) and finally getting to some of that long-awaited romancing with Tamlin. Doesn’t start off too strong when Tamlin IMMEDIATELY growls at anyone who looks at her when they get there and then he ditches her to wait in the food line alone lol. Turns out pretty well when he gets his act together and fiddles for her, dances with her and then takes her on a secret getaway to see some fascinating Will-o-wisps! The night of course ends with their first kiss and to our surprise–they went with eyes WIDE open! (How did we never notice this??! lol).

In this episode, we discuss a lot about magic and glamours and how they work (and with that, who Tamlin considered to be part of his court when he designed the glamour and how that worked), we joke about who has been watching Feyre that she just had no clue about and also get the ominous decapitated head "prank". It's during that scene where think a little deeper about what that head was really designed to do and what "message" it really sent. Was the Night Court logo behind the ear a simple brand or was it hidden behind the ear as part of a warning? We know Tamlin and Rhys have a history and knew each other so actually, what IS Tamlin thinking right now? It's one of our shorter eps but still really fun!

21:39–“the puca belongs to the wind and weather and everything that changes” but who do the Naga belong to??? (who was the Suriel actually afraid of–is the Dark Mother Amarantha or someone else?)
24:42–(We cut out like 25 mins of us talking about our own writing projects lol) Who is the beheaded fae? Does Lucien remember every person from his court? (& what are courts in this series tangent?)

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!).

In this episode, we get lots of little sweet moments between Tamlin and Feyre where they talk about Calanmai, make up after their little fight, have some good discussions with Alis and of course the classic scene where Feyre shows Tamlin her paintings. We talk a lot about the nature of this relationship and the dynamics knowing what we know. We find a lot of interesting “tells” that a first time reader might skip right over. It’s a fun one!

This episode is a big one!! We FINALLY meet *the most beautiful man* Feyre’s ever seen and we get lots of interesting lore and conversation around Calanmai. For this ep, we did two chapters because who the hell wants to wait a week to talk to this man?? We talked lots about Rhys and his mental state knowing what we know as well as the ways he may be steering the conversation or even listening to her thoughts? With those things in consideration, this part because even more interesting. We also have lots of fun questions about the world and how it works! It says all High Lords need to do Calanmai but do they actually? Is Tamlin becoming symbolically nameless during Calanmai–and what in the symbolism is with the white stag of Terrasen being sacrificed?! Does Rhys tamper with Tamlin’s glamour on accident? What if the High Lords decided not to replenish the magic of the land (could this have helped them with a coup against Amarantha?) Is Calanmai the holiday for mating bonds? Also, what is Lucien feeling when he gives Feyre her talking to (is it Rhys watching them after following them to the manor?). We also go on lots of wild tangents about the bite and Tamlin’s authoritarian attitude towards Feyre when he gets back after Calanmai.
