  • E53 A Court of Thorns and Roses & of Mist and Fury (Part 2, Spoiler Filled): "The mandatory fairy f*** festival!"
    Feb 2 2025

    Joined once again by our younger siblings, Erin and Akinde, we dive right into Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury spoilers in part two of our discussion.

    To kick things off, we start with our complicated feelings on main character Feyre. We also ask the hard hitting questions, like: are these sex scenes sexy? Why is there so much growling? And what would actually happen if the wings of the Illyrians were really that sensitive?

    As a heads up for people who adore these books: we’re not here to kill your vibe! Still, while we do appreciate a lot of what Maas is doing, as well as her wider influence on pop culture, we do have some bones to pick. Also, we drop a few spoilers for some of the later books, so if you care about spoilers for books 3, 4 or 5, please be forewarned!

    Sorry for the delay on this one, folks! January was a month...but we left a treat for you at the end of this episode to make up for it.

  • E52 Sarah J Maas, Romantasy, and Introducing ACOTAR (Part 1, Spoiler Free): "They're fairies and they like to f***."
    Jan 10 2025

    You’ve asked, you've waited, and now, we’re finally delivering! Welcome to our two-part deep dive on the international best selling Romantasy novels A Court of Thorns and Roses and a Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas.

    In this first, spoiler free episode, we touch on our initial reactions to the series, and think a bit about what romantasy is and why it’s so appealing to so many readers.

    Plus, we’re joined by some very special guests for these two episodes: our younger siblings! They may claim to have been manipulated into coming on the show, but we’re glad to have them both on for this discussion 💛
