In this episode of Booked & Bitter, we dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas—aka the book that launched a thousand bad fae boyfriends. We talk Feyre’s traumatic glow-up, the Spring Court’s terrible communication skills, and why Tamlin gives us the ick (we said what we said!!!!!!).

We unpack Under the Mountain chaos, applaud Feyre for doing literally everything, and collectively lose our minds the moment Rhysand shows up and makes the story interesting. By the end, we agree: ACOTAR is a gateway book, Tamlin is a walking red flag, and our standards for fictional men were forever changed.

✨ Tamlin is not our fave. Stay bitter. ✨

Hi, it’s us. We’re back on the mics, slightly unhinged, heavily opinionated, and once again pretending we have our lives (and book shelves) together.

This episode starts strong with us admitting what it’s like to come back to podcasting like “okay but do we remember how to do this?”

Then we dive headfirst into You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose, where absolutely everyone is suspicious, no one should trust their instincts, and every plot twist feels like the book whispering “surprise, bestie.” We break down the chaos, the deception, the questionable decisions, and why we were both yelling internally (and externally).

Basically: books, feelings, side topics, rage, friendship, and chaotic vibes. You’re welcome.

In this episode, we dive into the world of Throne of Glass and all the delicious character drama we love. We chat about how our girl Celaena Sardothien grows from a “don’t-talk-to-me-I’m-busy-assassinating” vibe into this layered, powerful heroine who somehow manages to break our hearts and make us cheer every five minutes.

We also gush about Nehemia, our brilliant outsider queen, and how her strength, mystery, and moral clarity shake Celaena in all the best (and worst) ways. From themes of freedom vs. servitude to the way femininity and power dance together in this world, we had lots of feelings.

And yes—magic is coming back, and we are here for it.

Later on, we get into all things vulnerability, friendships, and world-building in the series. We give our very important (and slightly dramatic) opinions on the love triangle, laugh about the chaos of “correct reading order,” and share some personal future reading plans.

By the end, we’re basically just curled up with chocolate, collectively appreciating how much this series—and its messy, lovable characters—mean to us.
