This week we’re diving into A Court of Frost and Starlight—the ACOTAR book that often gets brushed off as “just a novella,” but actually does a lot of quiet, important work.

We break down the key moments, character beats, and subtle setup happening beneath the cozy, holiday-themed surface. From healing and grief to relationships shifting and future conflicts brewing, this book is less about action and more about what happens after the war.

In this episode, we talk about:

❄️ Why ACOFAS is a necessary pause in the series

❄️ Feyre, Rhys, and the emotional aftermath of war

❄️ Nesta, Elain, and the cracks starting to show

❄️ Small details that feel insignificant now—but won’t be later

❄️ Theories about what ACOFAS is quietly setting up for the rest of the Maasverse

If you’ve ever felt unsure about where A Court of Frost and Starlight fits into the series, this episode is for you.

We’re back with Part 2 of our Brimstone series, and this time we’re getting a little more chaotic.

We kick things off with a quick chat about whether we prefer audiobooks or physical books, then dive deeper into the plot of Brimstone and start spiraling into theories.

Important context: Amy is the only one who has finished the book, so we’re balancing spoiler-aware reactions with full-blown unhinged predictions.

In this episode we cover:

🎧 Audiobooks vs. physical reading debates

🖤 Deeper plot breakdowns of Brimstone by Callie Hart

🧠 Theories, foreshadowing, and chaotic predictions

👀 The tension of having one fully-informed reader in the group
