About this listen

Join us for this week's episode on A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas — a romantasy classic where sensory descriptions bloom like roses in moonlight (and sometimes….just...keep...blooming)

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Fae lore and courts, power, and the tangled magic of Prythian
  • How Feyre’s human lens shapes (and complicates) our immersion
  • When lush sensory detail works… and when it drags
  • Why we’re not quite buying the romance (sorry, Tamlin)
  • Portal moments like starlight ponds and red marble throne rooms

If you love messy magic systems, gorgeous settings, and a little bit of hot take energy, this episode is for you.

Worlds Within — for readers who don’t just love books… they live in them.
