Flights of Fantasy

Anna and Kim unpack the final arc of A Court of Thorns and Roses, focusing on Feyre's physical and emotional unraveling Under the Mountain. They break down the long-awaited moment between Feyre and Tamlin—one that feels passionate at first glance but ultimately lacks emotional depth or support. In stark contrast, Rhysand's morally gray but consistent actions—his intervention during trials, their first kiss, and quiet moments of care—signal a growing bond and emotional presence that Tamlin never offers. The episode also covers Feyre's final, devastating trial, her death and rebirth as High Fae, and Rhysand's unforgettable goodbye. It's a powerful lead-in to ACOMAF, setting the stage for Feyre's reckoning with trauma, identity, and what it truly means to be seen. We hope you love it, and we'll be back next week with ACOMAF Part 1!! ⚠️ SPOILERS for the entire ACOTAR series!  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to ⭐ rate and review the show!

In this episode Anna, Kim and Kristina dive back into A Court of Thorns and Roses, picking up with Feyre's return to Prythian and her shocking arrival Under the Mountain. They unpack the devastating reveal of Tamlin's curse, his eerie silence beside Amarantha, and Feyre's brutal initiation into her three deadly trials. The discussion highlights Feyre's resilience, the strategic brilliance she shows in surviving the Middengard Worm, and the evolving tension—and unexpected support—between her and Rhysand, especially during her lowest moments. We hope you love it, and we'll be back next week with ACOTAR Part 6!! ⚠️ SPOILERS for the entire ACOTAR series!  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to ⭐ rate and review the show!
