Join Abby and Ronnie as they unravel the mystery of Rhysand's character and motivations in this week’s ACOTAR Deep Dive!!

Why does our favorite High Lord do what he does? Why did he want to kill Tamlin in ACOFAS? Why is he so reluctant to use his Daemati powers? And why is the Suriel so involved in his love life? In this romantasy deep dive perfect for ACOTAR fans, we explore Rhys's motivations, unpack how much he might know about the Maasverse, and ponder why he and Feyre are the only 1st person POVs in the entire Maasverse.
