Reading Bad ACOTAR Reviews

This week, we dive headfirst into the most unhinged, controversial, and downright offensive bad reviews of A Court of Thorns and Roses. From readers who “just didn’t get the hype” to those personally victimised by fae politics, Rhysand, or the sheer number of wingspans mentioned — nothing is off limits. We’ll read real low-star reviews, react in real time, and decide: are these reviewers brave truth-tellers… or simply wrong? Expect dramatic readings, hot takes, defence arguments for our favourite characters, and plenty of chaotic bookish energy.

Should Mor Be Trusted?

In this week’s episode, we dive into one of the most mysterious and debated characters in the series: Mor. She’s powerful, loyal, and an integral part of the Inner Circle—but is she as transparent as she seems? We discuss Mor’s backstory, her relationships, and the moments in the series that raise questions about her honesty and motivations. From her long history with the Court of Nightmares to the secrets she’s kept from those closest to her, we unpack whether her actions come from self-protection, loyalty, or something else entirely. Is Mor a trustworthy narrator of her own story, or are there pieces we still don’t fully understand? Join us as we break down the evidence, share our theories, and decide whether we’re firmly on Team Mor—or still a little suspicious.
