**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 discuss Feyre’s first night on the town with Rhys! (lol) as well as Lucien and Tamlin’s oath, warm cloaks, Amarantha’s coat of arms being WAY too close to Adarlan’s, and Rhys’s lineage as either god or valg! Okay but really, there’s sooo many insane fascinating parts of this chapter that point to a lot of other theories about the multiverse, etc.

Let us know what you think!
