A Court of Tattoos and Rosé

As the final test approaches, Celaena wakes up on Yulemas morning to candy and a puppy. What more can a girl ask for??? After flustering TF out of the Crown Prince, Celaena realizes that her newfound friends may be in danger at the upcoming ball. Obviously, the only solution is to sneak into the Yulemas Ball in disguise. But first, her and Chaol have to sit through a brutally dull service at the c...

Well we are all done with the High Lords’ meeting. So naturally Mads and Blake decided to have another random discussion episode! Join us as we talk about the problem with dishonest reviews, snorting coffee and our latest reads!

We are back with the epic conclusion to the High Lords’ meeting. Feyre does what we have all wanted to do for a while now…she puts Beron in his lowly, miserable place. Helion crashes the Inner Circle’s meeting in their suite and, in true Helion fashion, suggests a party that we would love to be invited to. He also opens up about his past with the Lady of the Autumn Court which leads Feyre to a sta...

Celaena, the most feared assassin in all of Erilea, has to deal with every woman’s nemesis. Her two suitors have VERY different reactions to her situation, one races away like Roadrunner and the other settles in to read some erotica. After some quiet reading time, Dorian reveals some deep truths about his own actions and his hope for his future rule. The Prince and Celaena enjoy a romantic but col...

We are back in the thick of the High Lords’ meeting and things are heating up (and not in a good way). Tamlin makes an unfashionably late entrance only to make everyone uncomfortable with his pathetic quips. After some tough discussions, Rhys is able to prove his sincerity to the other High Lords. Az continues to steal all our hearts while we finally get to meet the legendary fae who created Lucie...

We finally made it to the High Lords’ meeting after what seems like five years! The gang arrives at Thesan’s palace which sounds like an ASMR dream. Tensions are high to say the least and the males are hard (or maybe that is just Mads’ wishful thinking…). Feyre’s hand becomes the main attraction. Mor reunites with an old friend who we all volunteer to campaign for as High Lady of the Winter Court....

After a ghostly (and vague) wake-up call, Celaena tackles yet another test. Oh yeah…another Champion has been killed but no big deal apparently. The test proves to be the trickiest yet but Celaena receives some much needed help from an unlikely source. She also saves the life of a sassy but adorable puppy so all in all it was a good day (except for a very odd encounter with Cain). Kaltain deals wi...

Feyre gets to meet with our favorite cadaver loving monster to try to get a better bargain out of him…good luck with that. The High Lords continue to bicker on where to hold their meeting…which is only a few days away so no rush or anything. Finally, Thesan and the Dawn Court are tapped as the host which was the obvious choice from the beginning in our opinion. In preparation for the meeting, Feyr...

We sound like a broken record here but once again there is a murder! Granted this time, we truly aren’t that sad when we find out who the victim is. Celaena plays the Watson to Chaol’s Sherlock…well really its vice versa. Dorian tries to get to know our lovable assassin better while Kaltain is scheming and Chaol is in a one-sided staring contest with Caitlyn’s Duke. 

Okay for real this time...we start out with the aftermath of the battle in the Summer Court. Feyre and Rhys have a tense and less than promising reunion with Daddy T. But really, who came blame him for being a bit grumpy? Back at the Illyrian war camp, Rhys and Feyre give each other recaps on their own battles and then...well, let's just say that if the tent is rocking, don't come knocking!

This week we see the aftermath of the battle in the Summer Court…or do we? Sike!

Following yet another gruesome murder that no one seems that troubled by, Celaena and Nehemia admire (well more like stare) at the rather ugly clock tower for a bit. That is before the hulking oaf called Cain interrupts and makes it very clear he knows a big secret…yikes! Celaena’s quest to learn more about the Wyrdmarks leads her to a less than productive study session with Chaol. Her research le...

Daddy T and the people of the Summer Court are under attack! The Inner Circle moves swiftly to come to their aid…while no one else does (rude). The Illyrian Legions remind the world of why you don’t screw with the Night Court. Meanwhile, Feyre and Mor reign terror on Hybern’s troops at the palace in order to save the faeries trapped there. Let’s just say that you truly don’t want to piss either of...

Hybern’s parrots are plucked by Rhys. Amren goes on the hunt throughout Velaris and we would be lying if we said it didn’t sound scary AF. We get yet another insane revelation when Az finally puts it together that Elain is a SEER! With that knowledge, the gang realizes Elain may hold the key to finding a much needed ally…too bad its Lucien who volunteers to go find her. Everyone is prepping for th...

Well...I guess everyone learned a valuable lesson i.e. listen to Elain! The King of Hybern's parrots arrive in the library to steal away Nesta since she casually incapacitated the Cauldron. The villains' monologues reveal that the youngest mortal queen is in desperate need of botox. Feyre chooses door #3 and we are introduced to the most wholesome, terrifying monster of Prythian, the Darling of Da...

Finally there is no puking in these chapters! Granted there is a gruesome dinner scene…oops, we mean murder scene. On top of that, Celaena finds herself having a nice long chat with a Queen…who has been dead for 1,000 years. After some exceedingly vague warnings, Celaena does what any sane person would do…she goes to the library! Needless to say, things are starting to get even stranger in the Gla...

Under the extremely watchful* eye of Feyre and company, Lucien tries to determine what is “wrong” with Elain. Finally, we get some reactions. Are they good? Ehhh. But it is a reaction. Quickly followed by some more blank stares and sentences that do not make sense. (SIDE NOTE - THIS IS WHERE BLAKE MAKES THE REVELATION OF A LIFETIME). Next up, some flying lessons for Feyre where we get Miryam and D...

Seriously though, things usually are so fun in the Court of Nightmares but this trip makes us want a refund from the travel agent. Rhys has been keeping secrets…again. Keir is going to be allowed in Velaris?! Eris is now a frenemy? We FINALLY get everyone’s favorite deadly queen’s backstory. Turns out Amren is even more of a badass than we could’ve guessed….like damn.

Celeana’s daring rescue may not be discreet but it does earn her honor of eighteenth place…if only there weren’t only 20 competitors. Even with yet another murder, everyone turns out to celebrate the holiday with a nice feast and ball…well everyone but Celeana. Rude! It’s not a complete loss though since she finds some crazy secret tunnels while pouting. Not to mention, she has two very handsome m...

Today we are having some serious conversations. We are talking about Nesta and her newfound power after taking from the Cauldron. We are looking through Lucien’s mind and talking about mates. Then we head back to The Court of Nightmares and are shell shocked. And here we go…

The Bone Carver is back. Let’s get a little history lesson, make some deals, and get a glimpse into the future. The Palm Reader of Prythian. The Fortune Teller with skills that match no other. Sign up - there is a lot of availability. Some people may or may not come back…

I cannot stress this enough. Workout, trial, murder, vomit, books, suspicion, and more working out. That might just be the entire one sentence summary of Throne of Glass. Hmmmm… more data to be collected in the future. Updates to come.

Going to the library is always a good idea…even if your High Lord’s teasing makes reading impossible. Anyone else getting The Prince & Me vibes??? We also get our first hint at everyone’s favorite shadow monster while we search for answers among the books! Feyre interrupts the staring contest to end all staring contests. Then it’s time to prep for a visit another favorite (and super unsettling) mo...

How many times can one vomit in a book? Celaena is going for the record. Training continues. Another champion dies. This time by choice? We may never know. Then there is some sword play. Or a lot of sword play? Or sword play is discussed a lot…? Swords are great.

Let’s plan some warfare. And ask Nesta for help? Check. And push her over the edge? Check. But not tell Elain? Check. Question our position as High Lady (again)? Discuss who might possibly want to kill us at a meeting of the High Lords? And make plans that involve Keir? Check. Check. Check.
