**All our episodes may contain SPOILERS for all three Maasverse series so please only listen if you've read ALL the books!**

In this episode, we jump into the bargain with our dear Rhysand! This chapter has lots of interesting little pieces of lore and foreshadowing and some really interesting descriptions of different characters. We discuss Rhys and Feyre’s perspective of course, but also the role/importance of Lucien throughout the series, and the mental gymnastics Feyre is already doing in her head about Tamlin.
