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

This episode has continuation of some of our discussion from our Episode 11 theory about Lucien possibly trying to get Tamlin to ally with Hybern in this book (which is obviously the start of the relationship for ACOMAF). That theory is discussed in full (chapter where we discuss the theory is noted) in that episode available here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/14kng4pMWBGFZ2sELNH77O?si=-BC5VoU0T0KMmHSUSePwRQ

In this episode, we go over ACOTAR Chapter 18! This is a sweet little chapter that kind of kicks off the romance and has lots of interesting moments between Feyre and Tamlin and Lucien and lots of cool backstory too. We theorize about where the starlight pool came from, why it’s in the Spring Court, why Lucien laughs when Tamlin is talking about how it’s just a glen and the different instincts Feyre has internally about the place. This is also where we get Lucien’s backstory and Feyre’s dad’s story too!
