Throne of Glass 16-42 | Something Wicked This Way Comes

Throne of Glass 16-42 | Something Wicked This Way Comes

In Chapters 16–42 of Throne of Glass, the competition is escalating fast... Champions are turning up dead in increasingly brutal, unexplainable ways, and Celaena begins to realize that something far darker than a contest is lurking within the castle walls. As tensions rise, so do the relationships. Dorian is drawn deeper into Celaena’s orbit, Chaol struggles to balance duty with trust, and Celaena herself is caught between carefully crafted image and the truths she can’t keep hidden forever. But when a hidden passage leads her beneath the castle—and straight to a long-dead fae queen with a warning—Celaena’s path shifts entirely. What began as a fight for her freedom is becoming something much bigger… and much more dangerous. Because now it’s not just about winning. It’s about stopping something evil before it’s too late.

Throne of Glass 1-15 | From Salt Mines to Glass Castles

It's a whole new world! That's right, we’re officially in our Throne of Glass era—and things are already deadly. In this first episode, we meet Celaena Sardothien: assassin, survivor of Endovier, and now a competitor in the King of Adarlan’s brutal championship. But beneath the confidence and sharp tongue, there’s something deeper—someone observant, strategic, and not nearly as untouchable as her reputation suggests. We break down her first interactions with Prince Dorian and Captain Chaol, the politics already at play in the glass castle, and the introduction of 26 deadly competitors all fighting for the same prize: survival and freedom. We also get into the subtle magic still lingering in this world, the tension between power and perception (because what would they say if they knew they feared a girl?), and why Celaena might be her own greatest obstacle. Your reading: Chapters 1–15. Let the competition begin.

ACOSF 64-80 | Ataraxia, Inner Peace

This is it—the end of A Court of Silver Flames and the ACOTAR series…  Stripped of her power and thrown into the brutality of the Blood Rite, Nesta is forced to rely on something far more terrifying than magic: herself. Alongside Gwyn and Emerie, she doesn’t just fight to survive—she fights to prove that she is worthy of the life she’s been given. While Nesta battles her way across Ramiel, the world beyond the Rite begins to fracture. Feyre’s life—and her unborn child’s—hangs in the balance, and the family Nesta has kept at a distance is suddenly on the brink of shattering. At the same time, Briallyn tightens her grip, and Cassian is turned into a weapon against the very person he would die to protect. Everything collides at once, and Nesta is faced with an impossible choice: hold onto the power she fought so hard to claim… or give it up to save her sister, her family, and the future she never believed she deserved. In choosing them, she finally chooses herself. In this episode, we unpack the true meaning of strength, the power of chosen and found family, and the quiet, hard-won healing between sisters, blood and chosen. Because Nesta’s story was never about becoming a weapon—it was about learning she was worthy of love all along. And in the end, she doesn’t just survive. She comes home. Grab your books, beverage, and bestie, this is a big one!

ACOSF 51-63 | Valkyries Rising

Nesta Archeron is no longer just surviving—she’s becoming. In chapters 51–63 of A Court of Silver Flames, we see a turning point: her healing begins to shift into purpose. From deep vulnerability at the lake (and let’s be honest… some very memorable moments with Cassian...), to forging stronger bonds with Gwyn and Emerie, Nesta is finally stepping into the version of herself she’s been fighting toward. But growth doesn’t come quietly. As Nesta connects to the dread trove and retrieves the Harp from the Prison, she faces a terrifying truth: her power is not only immense—it’s dangerous. When an ancient, unkillable being falls by her hand, the stakes shift entirely. Nesta is no longer just part of the story… she’s becoming one of its most powerful forces. Back in Velaris, friendships deepen, the Valkyrie rise, and Nesta begins to build something she’s never truly had before: belonging. But even as she finds joy, purpose, and love, old fears creep in—especially when it comes to whether she deserves any of it. From political games and tension with Eris, to a breathtaking Solstice, to the quiet devastation of pushing Cassian away, this episode carries us through Nesta’s most human moments—and her most powerful ones. And just when it feels like things might finally settle… The Blood Rite begins. This week, we’re diving into power, friendship, chosen family, and what it really means to fight—not just to survive, but to become.

ACOSF 40-50 | “Put Your Hands on the Headboard”

This week’s episode has EVERYTHING—power, politics, spice, and heartbreak. We're discussing A Court of Silver Flames, chapters 40-50! Nesta’s training takes a new turn as she begins to understand the artistry behind weapons… and unknowingly creates something far more dangerous. When her power leaves its mark, it sets off alarm bells across the Inner Circle and reveals a truth no one was prepared for: Nesta hasn’t just been Made… she’s creating. At the House of Wind, jealousy, tension, and long-simmering desire finally snap into one unforgettable night (yes… THE headboard line). But as new weapons emerge and dangerous possibilities are raised—including a future neither Rhys nor Feyre is ready to face—everything spirals toward a breaking point. A confrontation turns devastating, truths are revealed too soon, and Nesta is forced to reckon with the weight of her past in a way she never has before. What follows is one of the most emotional turning points yet—raw, painful, and the beginning of something new. Grab your book and settle in… because we have a LOT to talk about.
