#022: This week on A Novel Bunch, we’re cracking open Chapters 28–40 of A Court of Mist and Fury—and things are getting steamy, sneaky, and downright swoony.

Feyre is learning to fight, to harness the darkness, and to let herself feel again. Letters are written (sorry, Daddy Tam), shirts are off (hello, Illyrian sweat squad), and the City of Starlight shines even brighter as Feyre starts to feel at home.

We head to the Summer Court with Rhys and Amren on a secret mission to retrieve half of the Book of Breathings—and let’s just say: Tarquin enters the chat. He’s sweet, flirty, and easy to love... much to Rhysand’s dismay. Feyre is pulling off a heist, forging new friendships, and realizing just how powerful—and desirable—she really is.

The Court of Dreams is tested. Sacrifices are made. Wraith debts are repaid. And Feyre? She’s not just healing. She’s becoming.

Let’s get into it, Bunchies!

#021: This week on A Novel Bunch, we’re diving into A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, Chapters 14–27 — and listen, Daddy Rhysand is giving inner circle intros, emotional support, sexy mind powers, and emissary job offers faster than we can say “Hello, Feyre darling.”

We arrive in Velaris, the hidden City of Starlight, and wow—it is giving found family fantasy dreamland. Feyre meets Rhysand’s inner circle (Mor, Cassian, Azriel, and Amren a.k.a. the baddest little bat squad in all of Prythian).

Rhysand gives Feyre space, protection, and one hell of a reality check — not just with words, but with actions. She chooses to stay. To train. To fight. To find herself. And in the process, she starts to see just how much Rhysand has sacrificed to protect his people—and how much he’s willing to risk for her.

We face the Weaver (nightmare fuel), meet the Bone Carver (a creepy 8-year-old boy with light eyes), and learn that the King of Hybern is not playing games. War is coming. A book must be found. And Feyre—our girl—is the key.

There are notes passed, growing sexual tension off the charts, and one very sassy High Lord tackled after Feyre is used as bait.

Oh, and Nesta and Cassian? Yeah. It’s starting.

Let’s get into it, Bunchies!

#020 This week on A Novel Bunch, we’re diving into A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, Chapters 1–13 — and let’s just say, the aftermath of under the mountain is anything but happily ever after.

Feyre is drowning in nightmares, guilt, and Tamlin’s suffocating protection as their wedding looms. With Ianthe orchestrating the perfect ceremony, Feyre silently begs for help while walking down the aisle — and it arrives in the form of Rhysand, crashing the wedding with a perfectly timed, “Hello, Feyre darling.”

Rhysand whisks her away to uphold their bargain, and Feyre begins to glimpse the Night Court: reading lessons, mental shields, and Rhys’s unshakable belief that she is more than a prize to be coddled. We unpack her suffocating life back in the Spring Court, Tamlin’s refusal to let her grow, and the devastating panic attack that finally pushes her to break free.

Enter Mor, Rhys’s fierce and fabulous cousin, and the promise of something new: Velaris, the hidden City of Starlight. With Feyre’s choice to leave the Spring Court behind, Part Two is on the horizon — and with it, a whole new world of power, freedom, and found family.
