In this spoiler-free episode of Cauldron Save Us, besties Ariel and Corryn are diving into Chapters 7–10 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and things are getting masked, mysterious, and maybe even a little monstrous.

We’re officially introduced to Tamlin (TamTam, if you’re nasty) and break down the shifting dynamics between Feyre, Lucien, and the eternal spring lands our girl is being held hostage in. From dinner table awkwardness to sassy banter and the politics of who can and can’t leave the manor, the vibes are off—but we’re here for it?

We talk blight, banter, and beauty, specifically the mysterious force draining fae magic (and gluing masks to faces), the horror of the Bogge, and Feyre’s slow shift out of survival mode as she starts to imagine a life beyond just getting by.

Plus: Ariel shares a personal moment around mental health representation in romantasy, we learn more about fae-human power dynamics, and the enemies-to-lovers energy is officially simmering.

Whether you’re new to ACOTAR or on your 10th reread: you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
