Send us Fan Mail Our House of Flame and Shadow deep dive (now on YouTube!) continues with chapters 26-30.  Bryce's already tenuous truce with Nesta and Az ends on less-than-great terms as her adventure in Prythian comes to an end ... for now. And you'll never guess where (and when) she lands back in Midgard. The mission to save Ruhn is off to a rocky start with Ithan sprinting (??) away...

Send us Fan Mail Our House of Flame and Shadow deep dive (now on YouTube!) continues with chapters 21-25.  We kick off the episode guessing what SJM and Margot Robbie were talking about at their recent coffee date. Could Margot be involved in a future SJM adaption as a producer and/or actress (and who would we cast her as?), or was it just a meet cute for two Fantasy fangirlies?  We finally learn...

Send us Fan Mail This week's episode (House of Flame and Shadow chapters 16-20) features a breakdown of Silene's lore dump, including liberator-turned-conquerer Theia's unexpected (and disappointing) villain arc; what we learned about music and mommy issues in the Bryce, Nesta & Az bonus chapter; the lengths Ruhn will go to in order to avoid simply *speaking* to Lidia ; and the...

Send us Fan Mail In our coverage of House of Flame and Shadow chapters 11-15, we break down the progression of the tunnel carvings and what they mean for the past, present and future of both Prythian and Midgard.  Could the monolith atop Ramiel be wyrdstone? And what (or whom) sleeps beneath the mountains of Prythian?  We also discuss both the canon and theorized connections between Ramiel, the Il...

Send us Fan Mail We kick off our House of Flame and Shadow deep dive this week with the prologue (where we finally get Lidia's POV) and chapters 1-4 (where we get POV whiplash).  We’re dropped back in the Crystal Palace two days after Bryce jumped through the gate, trying to get to Hel to ask for Apollion and Aidas’ help, but instead landing in Prythian. While Bryce petitions Rhys, Amren and...

It might be time to slide into Apollion's DMs, now that Bryce has learned the trut...

Send us Fan Mail House of Sky and Breath chapters 61-70. In the penultimate episode of our HOSAB deep dive, we break down Bryce's opposite of a wet dream with Apollion.

We also compare the BC to the Sin-Eater and Lunathion — modeled after an ancient coastal city — to Antica. Topics include the possib...

Send us Fan Mail Anyone have Sarah J. Maas' address? My therapist keeps asking where to send the bill.  On the debut episode of DTFae, co-hosts Cait and Elle discuss part one (chapters 1-7) of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood.  Sarah really outdid herself with the world(s) building, so we start with a breakdown of Midgard — its power structure, Houses, species, potential connections to...
