Maas ✨ This week we're unpacking the scene that altered the fandom — Calanmai!

In this very special episode, we're joined by the incredibly talented Elizabeth Evans, the voice behind the Throne of Glass and Crescent City series—and now, the newly re-recorded A Court of Thorns and Roses audiobooks, releasing in celebration of the series' 10-year anniversary! We go behind the scenes with Elizabeth to talk about her acting background, narration process, and what it's like to bring some of the most iconic characters in fantasy to life. From crafting distinct voices for the Archeron sisters to navigating the emotional depth of Kingdom of Ash and the explosive ending of House of Sky and Breath, this conversation is a deep dive into the Maasverse you won't want to miss!
