A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, Feyre Becomes High Lady and Goes Back to Destroy the Spring Court, Pt 4

In the final part of our A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas discussion, Feyre and Rhysand finally confront the mating bond, seal the deal in a paint-covered cabin, defend Velaris, and walk straight into the absolute disaster waiting for them in Hybern. Tamlin’s bargain, Nesta and Elain going into the Cauldron, Lucien’s mate reveal, Feyre becoming High Lady of the Night Court, and one hell of a Spring Court revenge mission bring ACOMAF to a completely unhinged finish.

Heads up, confessors: this is a SPOILER-HEAVY episode.

We are finishing A Court of Mist and Fury, which means the Summer Court, Starfall, the mating bond, Hybern, the Cauldron, Nesta and Elain, and that fucking ending are all fair game.

If you are not finished with ACOMAF, turn around now unless you want the entire last chunk of this book dumped directly into your emotional support beverage.

The Book
  • Title: A Court of Mist and Fury
  • Series: Book 2 of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series
  • Author: Sarah J. Maas
  • Spice / Heat: The literary edging finally ends. We get in foreplay, wing teasing, emotional fucking, actual fucking, and a paint-covered table.
  • Tropes: Mates, enemies to lovers, found family, forced proximity, chosen family, hidden marriage, High Lady, touch-her-and-die energy, revenge, magical bargains, war
The Confession

Feyre spends this episode choosing herself over and over again.

She tells Lucien no. She saves Rhysand. She demands the truth about the mating bond. She fights for Velaris. And when everything goes completely to shit in Hybern, she makes the most dangerous choice of all: going back to the Spring Court on purpose.

This isn't Feyre being rescued anymore.

This is Feyre making the fucking plan.

The Pour
  • Cocktail: Starfall Blackberry Gin Fizz — pretty, sparkly, romantic, and absolutely hiding emotional damage.
  • Alternate drink: Paint-Splattered Espresso Martini — for surviving 55 chapters of G-Rex screaming about literary edging.
  • Non-alcoholic option: Night Court Blackberry Lemonade — because somebody in this episode has to stay sober enough to recognize a terrible bargain.
Just the Tip

What matters more: protecting someone, or trusting them to make their own choice?

That difference runs through the entire episode. Rhys lets Feyre face Lucien herself, Feyre refuses to be sent home during the attack on Velaris, and by the end she makes a terrifying decision nobody can make for her.

She is done being handled.

What We Get Into
  • Feyre and Rhys getting jealous at the Summer Court
  • Stealing the second half of the Book
  • Under-the-Mountain roleplay and industrial-strength edging
  • Rhys crushing Mor’s father’s hand
  • Starfall and Feyre finally painting again
  • Feyre telling Lucien she is never going back
  • Inn-room wing teasing and second base
  • Feyre going full G.I. Jane to save Rhys
  • The Suriel dropping the mating-bond bomb
  • Cabin confessions and paint-table sex
  • Feyre defending Velaris from the Attor
  • Tamlin’s deal with Hybern
  • Elain and Nesta entering the Cauldron
  • Lucien realizing Elain is his mate
  • Feyre becoming High Lady and infiltrating the Spring Court
Favorite Chaos Moments
  • G-Rex: “This was like edging at the nth fucking level. I was so mad.”
  • G-Rex: “I want to tickle your wings. Come here.”
  • Dirty Skittles: “She wants that dick. She’s thinking with her dick.”
  • Dirty Skittles: “Feyre’s way of slashing his tires. This is just beautiful artwork all over his cabin.”
  • Nacho: “You got an infection because you got the paint somewhere.”
  • Nacho: “Now I have gravel in my vagina.”
Our First Impressions

G-Rex is fully invested in Feyre becoming a badass who refuses to be controlled, deeply satisfied that the endless edging finally pays off, and still has absolutely no patience for Tamlin’s bullshit.

Dirty Skittles is emotionally all-in on Rhysand and Feyre, especially Starfall, the cabin confession, and Rhys giving Feyre room to make her own choices. Rhysand remains their book husband, apparently after extensive shower-based deliberation.

Nacho loves Feyre’s growing power and independence, is delighted by the mating-bond chaos, and remains extremely committed to Cassian while also providing several deeply practical reasons why fantasy sex scenarios would be fucking terrible in real life.

We made it to episode 4, and trust us, you're not going to want to

2
00:00:03,622 --> 00:00:07,245
miss this one. Welcome back to Paperback Confessions for our

3
00:00:07,245 --> 00:00:11,076
final episode of A Court of Mist and Fury. Feyre has

4
00:00:11,173 --> 00:00:14,619
found her people, found her power, and stepped fully into the Night Court.

5
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:17,793
But with everything on the line, there's still plenty left to confess.

6
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:20,101
Episode 4 starts now.

7
00:00:44,681 --> 00:00:47,699
In that trip to the summer court, it's Amren,

8
00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:51,681
Rhysand, and Feyre. Mm-hmm. Amren's

9
00:00:51,681 --> 00:00:55,149
entertaining somebody from that court. Rhysand is entertaining some chick,

10
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,038
and it leaves Feyre to entertain the, the king of Summer Court.

11
00:01:01,286 --> 00:01:04,595
It was also in that meeting, Cressida or something,

12
00:01:04,612 --> 00:01:08,390
Cressida or whatever, Cricket, whatever her name was, was like,

13
00:01:09,116 --> 00:01:12,796
you know, we could contact Tamlin right now and tell

14
00:01:12,909 --> 00:01:16,056
him you're here. And it just like, it pissed me off. Like,

15
00:01:16,702 --> 00:01:20,028
she's happy, leave her the fuck alone, bitch. She left on her own accord. Well,

16
00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:23,432
because that's like the first time she hears that like he's looking, like he,

17
00:01:23,676 --> 00:01:27,499
he Tamlin has sent out the word. I

18
00:01:27,499 --> 00:01:30,745
need her back kind of a thing. And so they're like, hey, you know, your,

19
00:01:30,874 --> 00:01:34,637
your fiancé is looking for you. Like, we could just ring

20
00:01:34,733 --> 00:01:38,150
him up right now. I love that this trip also was like

21
00:01:39,446 --> 00:01:42,669
the first time that, well, I think it was the first time, maybe the second

22
00:01:42,685 --> 00:01:46,434
time that, uh, Feyre was able to go inside and manipulate

23
00:01:46,434 --> 00:01:50,118
somebody's thoughts during this trip. Yes, first time.

24
00:01:51,224 --> 00:01:54,710
Is it the first time? This is the first time that she knowingly does it.

25
00:01:54,838 --> 00:01:58,147
I think she's learning more about her powers. She

26
00:01:58,276 --> 00:02:02,082
also, um, is able to sense

27
00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:05,857
ultimately after like days and days of sort of courting this high lord

28
00:02:06,323 --> 00:02:09,792
and Rhysand entertaining this other chick, I mean, they're starting to develop

29
00:02:09,856 --> 00:02:13,663
jealousy and like feelings for one another. And she doesn't like that Rhysand's like

30
00:02:13,776 --> 00:02:17,437
talking to this chick and assumes that he's fucking her. And he doesn't like that

31
00:02:17,485 --> 00:02:20,888
Feyre is smiling at this High Lord and he can hear the things she's saying

32
00:02:20,888 --> 00:02:23,504
to him and saying, you know, you'd be easy to love or some shit like

33
00:02:23,504 --> 00:02:26,826
that. Yeah. And so they're both jealous. They're both fucking

34
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:31,159
livid and jealous. And I think she calls him out on it. Like, oh, she

35
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:34,979
does. Yeah. She's like, yeah, was it as good when you went, took

36
00:02:34,979 --> 00:02:38,526
her to your bed or whatever? And then he slaps her with, uh,

37
00:02:38,815 --> 00:02:42,619
well, why don't you ever give me a smile? She's never given me a

38
00:02:42,619 --> 00:02:46,117
smile. She's like, you're fucking him. And he's like, But you never

39
00:02:46,117 --> 00:02:49,904
smile at me. I'm so sad. He just

40
00:02:49,904 --> 00:02:53,579
wants somebody to smile at him, you know? Just look at

41
00:02:53,579 --> 00:02:56,804
him in that way. Just smile at me.

42
00:02:57,286 --> 00:03:01,057
Just smile at me. Um, and

43
00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:04,796
the point of it all, right? Like, she can sense the book. She ends

44
00:03:04,828 --> 00:03:07,844
up figuring out where the other part of that book is,

45
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,658
and it's under the water. There's like a, like an island or something that only

46
00:03:13,237 --> 00:03:16,846
shows itself in certain times of the day. It shows up during low tide.

47
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:20,423
And then when high tide comes in, it's covered, and she's able to sense that's

48
00:03:20,423 --> 00:03:23,977
where the book is. So her, Amren, go to

49
00:03:23,977 --> 00:03:27,422
retrieve this book. And shit

50
00:03:28,021 --> 00:03:31,430
fucking goes down. Shit hits the motherfucking

51
00:03:31,575 --> 00:03:34,968
fan. They're able to get through parts of this puzzle because it's not just like,

52
00:03:35,097 --> 00:03:37,204
oh, just open the door and it's there. They have to kind of go through

53
00:03:37,204 --> 00:03:40,290
this maze and go deeper and deeper. The water comes back

54
00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:45,008
and they're struggling and her and Amren have to fight their way through this.

55
00:03:46,252 --> 00:03:49,659
And what comes to the aid? The

56
00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:54,077
mermaid people from, like, the Spring Court. From Spring Court came.

57
00:03:54,158 --> 00:03:57,963
Yep. Yep. They grab them, rush them to the beach. They

58
00:03:57,963 --> 00:04:01,810
don't die. And they thank her. They get the

59
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:05,453
book. They get the book. And they thanked her for

60
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,220
Helping her sister. Helping her sister. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I said, the debt is paid.

61
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,090
That's all I got to do. That was your one and only. You're fucking welcome.

62
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:17,220
Done. One was enough. Yeah. And Amren's like, what

63
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:20,700
the fuck just happened? Amren's

64
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,480
like, I need some sheep. Yeah. Amren's like, you

65
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,460
know, I helped her sister one time. Amren's like, what the fuck is wrong with

66
00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:29,940
you? But thank you also. She's like, well, I don't know what kind of luck

67
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:33,076
you live by, but God bless it. Right.

68
00:04:34,103 --> 00:04:37,715
We're still waiting on the queens who are like

69
00:04:37,715 --> 00:04:40,910
taking their sweet-ass time to get back to

70
00:04:40,926 --> 00:04:44,554
Rhysand and, and team. And, um, you know, Feyre

71
00:04:44,891 --> 00:04:48,696
sends Tamlin a note saying, I'm never fucking coming

72
00:04:48,712 --> 00:04:52,084
back, I left on my own accord, fuck you, suck a dick.

73
00:04:52,485 --> 00:04:56,177
Um, never hears anything back. Right. Well,

74
00:04:56,836 --> 00:05:00,318
yeah, I have theories on why, but Ultimately it boils down to he's a

75
00:05:00,318 --> 00:05:04,015
narcissistic asshole and doesn't believe that she really feels that. 'Cause

76
00:05:04,015 --> 00:05:07,810
how could anybody? How could anybody love me? How could anybody not wanna be with

77
00:05:07,826 --> 00:05:11,504
me forever? I'm, I'm a gem. Um, but I think what

78
00:05:11,536 --> 00:05:13,747
happens after that is they,

79
00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:20,123
what is it? Doesn't like, isn't after this when, um, the other thing that they

80
00:05:20,123 --> 00:05:22,872
have to do, I don't actually remember why they have to do it. They go

81
00:05:23,196 --> 00:05:26,798
under the mountain. And Feyre has to

82
00:05:26,862 --> 00:05:29,898
play his whore. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I remember, I remember. But I don't

83
00:05:29,914 --> 00:05:33,206
remember why. Because they needed the,

84
00:05:33,672 --> 00:05:37,366
the truth-telling orb. Oh, and so they go to go

85
00:05:37,463 --> 00:05:41,125
under the mountain and Mor's asshole fucking

86
00:05:41,157 --> 00:05:44,578
dad. Yes. Right? And,

87
00:05:44,915 --> 00:05:48,529
um, this whole scenario makes me happy from beginning to end.

88
00:05:48,947 --> 00:05:52,747
Rhysand says Listen, you're gonna see a side of me that, that

89
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:56,865
you're not really gonna like, but if you wanna come, you have to play this

90
00:05:56,865 --> 00:06:00,711
certain part. That's ridiculous. And this was like edging

91
00:06:00,711 --> 00:06:03,980
at the nth fucking level. I was

92
00:06:04,172 --> 00:06:07,809
so mad. Well, because now it makes sense, 'cause he was, instead of saying, no,

93
00:06:07,922 --> 00:06:11,719
you can't come, which is what Tamlin would've done, he says, listen, I'm gonna

94
00:06:11,719 --> 00:06:15,453
let you come, but you're gonna see Rhysand, the king of the, of

95
00:06:15,453 --> 00:06:19,267
Under the Mountain, right? Like the, the knight. court king and I'm gonna be an

96
00:06:19,459 --> 00:06:22,745
asshole. And so if you're gonna come, you have to play this part because that's

97
00:06:22,745 --> 00:06:26,592
what— how he would treat her, that character side of him. So like,

98
00:06:26,608 --> 00:06:30,375
he strolls in, everybody bows to him, he goes and sits on this

99
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:34,110
throne. Feyre gets a little weirded out because it kind of reminded her of

100
00:06:34,543 --> 00:06:38,294
Amaretto's throne. That's what she modeled it after. And he had

101
00:06:38,294 --> 00:06:41,323
her dressed in like some really like slutty clothes

102
00:06:41,996 --> 00:06:45,620
and sits her on his lap and is like As he's

103
00:06:45,668 --> 00:06:49,262
talking to— Nacho's face.

104
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:53,593
As he's talking to Moore's father, and I don't remember what his

105
00:06:53,626 --> 00:06:57,283
name was because he's an asshole, she— he's like touching

106
00:06:57,380 --> 00:07:00,653
her and like putting his hands like in all these

107
00:07:00,845 --> 00:07:04,519
various places and like— Just tiny

108
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:07,920
little baby touches like on her thigh or

109
00:07:08,369 --> 00:07:12,156
on her ribs. And I don't know about you, but that shit just gets

110
00:07:12,156 --> 00:07:16,004
me hot. Yeah, it got, it got me

111
00:07:16,068 --> 00:07:18,760
hot too, and I was like, oh, we're gonna do it. And she wants to

112
00:07:18,808 --> 00:07:22,462
have a reaction, and I'm fully on board with the reaction.

113
00:07:23,135 --> 00:07:26,836
And so like, she like bows her back into him

114
00:07:26,981 --> 00:07:30,730
because she can feel him getting hard underneath her,

115
00:07:30,746 --> 00:07:33,519
and she's like, oh, I need a little bit more friction. Let me just

116
00:07:34,336 --> 00:07:37,765
ride this back a little bit more. She willingly reaches

117
00:07:38,021 --> 00:07:39,992
into that hole

118
00:07:43,276 --> 00:07:45,295
Ugh. Character of, I'm

119
00:07:46,442 --> 00:07:50,286
enthralled with Rhys, and I'm like, whatever. And

120
00:07:50,318 --> 00:07:54,072
it's like pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of

121
00:07:54,174 --> 00:07:57,712
like, should I be? But it feels so

122
00:07:57,873 --> 00:08:01,497
good. And this is the part that I have to play. So this is sort

123
00:08:01,497 --> 00:08:05,250
of able to excuse all this bad behavior. And everybody here thinks

124
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:09,019
I'm a trashy hoe anyways, 'cause I went after one High Lord, now

125
00:08:09,019 --> 00:08:12,729
I'm going after another High Lord. And fuck it,

126
00:08:12,971 --> 00:08:16,366
I might as well feed them what they want,

127
00:08:16,673 --> 00:08:20,408
right? Yeah. Aren't they talking to each other the whole time through

128
00:08:20,408 --> 00:08:24,061
the bond as well? Through the bond? Yeah. Like staying real sassy.

129
00:08:24,126 --> 00:08:27,689
Like, because he gets a little too close to her business. Yes.

130
00:08:27,914 --> 00:08:31,578
Yeah. He's like, it's okay, right up into her business and is

131
00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:35,353
like, oh buddy, don't worry about it. It's cool.

132
00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:39,734
Like, don't be ashamed. This happens to a lot of people.

133
00:08:40,646 --> 00:08:44,492
She's like, no, just do it again, motherfucker. She's

134
00:08:44,492 --> 00:08:48,097
like, listen, full send, full send here in front of God and

135
00:08:48,097 --> 00:08:51,687
everyone, right? Right, exactly, exactly.

136
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:55,645
And then when she, she gets up off his lap,

137
00:08:55,709 --> 00:08:59,491
her legs are a little wobbly and she walks past Moore's

138
00:08:59,491 --> 00:09:03,305
dad and he's like, you, you're just, you're nothing but a

139
00:09:03,305 --> 00:09:06,093
whore. Yeah, you'll get what's coming to you, whore.

140
00:09:07,192 --> 00:09:10,499
This is hot. Fucking went ballistic.

141
00:09:10,903 --> 00:09:14,468
Uh-huh. Oh my God. Yeah. Okay, I do not

142
00:09:14,468 --> 00:09:16,693
condone like a lot of violence,

143
00:09:18,397 --> 00:09:21,917
but when I read that Rhysand

144
00:09:22,994 --> 00:09:26,353
crumpled that dude's hand

145
00:09:28,394 --> 00:09:32,073
and like just kept going— now clearly apology doesn't mean

146
00:09:32,073 --> 00:09:35,872
anything because you can't have an apology that means anything under duress, but

147
00:09:35,872 --> 00:09:38,037
Rhysand was Did not give a

148
00:09:39,255 --> 00:09:41,947
fuck. And the whole time looking like he ain't even trying.

149
00:09:43,085 --> 00:09:46,114
Right. Hands in his pockets. Yeah. Hands in his pockets.

150
00:09:46,691 --> 00:09:50,392
Fucking picking off some lint. Yeah. And, um, like, and then he

151
00:09:50,392 --> 00:09:54,094
tells Moore's dad, like, don't seek help. Like,

152
00:09:54,318 --> 00:09:58,068
don't go see a healer. Yeah. 'Cause he can manipulate their mind. Yeah.

153
00:09:58,324 --> 00:10:02,090
He's like, I'm gonna fuck you up and you will not fix yourself. You will

154
00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:05,440
remember. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um,

155
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:09,110
sadly, after that really hot sex scene

156
00:10:09,367 --> 00:10:12,364
is when they get back to the Night Court and they get into a huge

157
00:10:12,429 --> 00:10:16,195
fucking argument, Feyre and Rhysand, and she throws some

158
00:10:16,195 --> 00:10:19,802
pretty low blows. No, she's a straight bitch.

159
00:10:20,523 --> 00:10:23,761
What? She's a straight bitch. Yeah.

160
00:10:24,675 --> 00:10:28,298
Yeah. She throws some pretty low blows. Well, you get heated and you

161
00:10:28,298 --> 00:10:31,584
say dumb shit, right? We do. Yep. Yep.

162
00:10:32,209 --> 00:10:35,655
And it leads to them not talking for a while. He kind of just up

163
00:10:35,655 --> 00:10:39,422
and leaves and disappears. He's not a part of her everyday morning breakfast,

164
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:43,092
et cetera. And she fast— I mean,

165
00:10:43,541 --> 00:10:47,292
side note, before this they were communicating. I kept thinking it was like the

166
00:10:47,292 --> 00:10:50,786
fae version of text messaging where like they would like flirt on

167
00:10:50,818 --> 00:10:53,607
paper and it would send away and then the other person would respond and she'd

168
00:10:53,607 --> 00:10:57,166
get the paper back. So after he leaves, after this argument, she keeps trying to

169
00:10:57,166 --> 00:11:00,771
send him these like— text messages, so to speak, and he's not

170
00:11:00,771 --> 00:11:04,569
responding. Leaves her on read. Yeah, like she's trying to apologize

171
00:11:04,649 --> 00:11:07,101
for what she said. She's like, I need him back. Like, where the fuck is

172
00:11:07,149 --> 00:11:10,338
he? And he's just not giving into any of it. And a couple of days

173
00:11:10,434 --> 00:11:13,558
goes by where she's not able to communicate with Reussan, and

174
00:11:13,655 --> 00:11:17,420
she's essentially like, what the fuck? Like, what did I do? Finally

175
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:20,961
she calls him a big fat coward. What? That was like the

176
00:11:21,090 --> 00:11:24,871
last message that she sent. And then, uh, Starfall was that night.

177
00:11:25,710 --> 00:11:28,771
Yes. And then Starfall is when they see each other again.

178
00:11:29,755 --> 00:11:33,574
And I still think out of all of

179
00:11:33,574 --> 00:11:37,356
the scenes in these books, that is like the most romantic

180
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:40,425
shit ever for me is Starfall

181
00:11:41,116 --> 00:11:44,731
because they finally get to see each other again and she's able to

182
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:48,296
apologize in person. But it's romantic because

183
00:11:49,021 --> 00:11:52,634
it's just the two of them up in like a balcony, like looking over this

184
00:11:52,634 --> 00:11:56,409
beautiful party. There's these beautiful, like— Shooting stars

185
00:11:56,425 --> 00:12:00,225
happening in the sky and they're being

186
00:12:00,658 --> 00:12:04,265
honest and open with each other. He like confesses like, it was probably better that

187
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:07,680
I left and we needed distance, you know, to be apart so that we can

188
00:12:07,712 --> 00:12:11,095
kind of cool down from whatever we had said to one another. Um,

189
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:15,392
he reveals how much he would love for somebody to look at him that

190
00:12:15,424 --> 00:12:18,759
way. And she smiles like, I mean, they're just, it's a very

191
00:12:18,791 --> 00:12:22,383
romantic scene where he's like, holy shit, you look absolutely beautiful. Like when you

192
00:12:22,383 --> 00:12:26,199
smile like that. And Then this, this

193
00:12:26,199 --> 00:12:29,529
stardust smashes her in the face and he's laughing and

194
00:12:30,607 --> 00:12:33,471
she gets a little pissed off and then it smashes him in the face and

195
00:12:33,827 --> 00:12:37,611
it's just beautiful. It's just a fucking beautiful scene. She finally paints

196
00:12:37,611 --> 00:12:40,683
again, right? Like she like draws on his hand with the stardust. Like it's just

197
00:12:40,683 --> 00:12:44,238
romantic as shit. They like reveal their feelings towards one another. They're,

198
00:12:45,789 --> 00:12:49,180
they're not shying away from it, I guess. And they're like looking at each other

199
00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:52,427
and You know, it's, it's sweet, it's sexy, it's gorgeous.

200
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,106
And then they go and they dance and they party with the friends. And, you

201
00:12:56,106 --> 00:12:58,687
know, it was his first time being able to celebrate this in a long time

202
00:12:58,687 --> 00:13:01,333
cuz he had been under the mountain with Amado for so long.

203
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,043
It was beautiful. That's my thoughts. It was charcoal.

204
00:13:08,896 --> 00:13:12,058
I feel sad. I just talked for so long and everybody's like quiet.

205
00:13:12,868 --> 00:13:16,305
Because you were saying all the right things. It was cute. Talk to

206
00:13:16,926 --> 00:13:20,697
And I, and I was still trying to clear the, um, cinnamon

207
00:13:20,762 --> 00:13:24,257
roll out of the back of my throat. Are you safe? I'm safe.

208
00:13:25,211 --> 00:13:28,946
Good, good. Uh, he doesn't

209
00:13:28,946 --> 00:13:31,452
kiss her. They don't make out or anything. I think he kisses her on the

210
00:13:31,452 --> 00:13:35,180
cheek. No sex again. I was like, it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. Here

211
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:37,974
it is. Nope, nope. Um,

212
00:13:39,305 --> 00:13:43,119
other things that happen after that, I have a note here, right? Lucien at some

213
00:13:43,169 --> 00:13:46,717
point tracks Feyre down. Oh yeah. I

214
00:13:46,829 --> 00:13:50,614
highlighted that section. She said some stuff that really like

215
00:13:50,774 --> 00:13:54,335
got me excited. Um, I loved this

216
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,264
scene because Rhysand was there, but he let

217
00:13:58,456 --> 00:14:01,536
her fight her own battle.

218
00:14:02,947 --> 00:14:06,780
And she is able to create Illyrian wings

219
00:14:07,678 --> 00:14:11,303
and tells Lucien basically like, yo, back the fuck up.

220
00:14:11,463 --> 00:14:14,510
I'm not coming back with you. And don't you ever try and come and get

221
00:14:14,510 --> 00:14:18,140
me again. And he goes, what did you do, bitch? I got some

222
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:21,900
wings, motherfucker. What do you mean? Yeah. Lucien's like,

223
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,260
Feyre, we've gotta go back. Like, you don't

224
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:29,090
understand. Tamlin's a raging asshole. We need to take you home. What's my fucking problem?

225
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,400
And she's like, no, I told that bitch I wasn't coming back. I'm not going

226
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,700
back. And Lucien's like, oh, it's this dark magic's got you all fucked up. And

227
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:40,080
she's like, no, I'm just not going back. And,

228
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,713
um, I think scares him away, and then he sees that

229
00:14:43,713 --> 00:14:46,119
Rissan's there, and Rissan's like, she said she's not going. She ain't going.

230
00:14:48,362 --> 00:14:51,978
I think Rissan needed her to like make that

231
00:14:51,978 --> 00:14:55,721
choice without him, and so he was waiting for

232
00:14:55,737 --> 00:14:59,386
her to do that, and whatever choice she was gonna make was gonna

233
00:14:59,386 --> 00:15:02,955
be what she got to do. So

234
00:15:03,426 --> 00:15:06,493
like I got to that that section, and where

235
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:10,715
Feyre is talking to Lucien and she's like, you gave up on me. I

236
00:15:10,763 --> 00:15:14,555
said a bit more loudly, you were my friend and you picked

237
00:15:14,555 --> 00:15:18,332
him, picked obeying him, even when you saw what his

238
00:15:18,509 --> 00:15:21,926
orders and his rules did to me, even when you saw me

239
00:15:22,072 --> 00:15:25,921
wasting away day after day. She's fucking pissed at him. She

240
00:15:26,098 --> 00:15:29,850
begged him, begged him so many times to help her, and

241
00:15:29,946 --> 00:15:33,701
he just wouldn't do anything. And So, but

242
00:15:33,701 --> 00:15:37,313
his— Yeah, his reaction is what in that, like, when

243
00:15:37,491 --> 00:15:41,214
she summarizes it like that, that's what makes me go, oh,

244
00:15:44,733 --> 00:15:47,851
they're together in some capacity.

245
00:15:48,445 --> 00:15:52,219
Lucien and Tamlin are together because Lucien reacts. Now granted, they've been

246
00:15:52,219 --> 00:15:55,840
together and, and Tamlin like saves his life and all this, gives him,

247
00:15:56,422 --> 00:16:00,053
you know, a thing. But I don't know, it just like

248
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:03,453
When she summarizes it like that, like, you kept choosing him.

249
00:16:04,467 --> 00:16:08,106
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She

250
00:16:08,106 --> 00:16:11,740
said, fuck it, come at me and I'll fucking kill you. And he's like,

251
00:16:11,869 --> 00:16:15,216
okay, I'm going home. And then

252
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:18,854
shit, shit goes down after that. And well,

253
00:16:18,887 --> 00:16:22,574
before shit goes down, they go to the inn. Yeah. And there's not enough

254
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:25,581
space for Rhysand to properly fuck her, so he just fingers her.

255
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:29,807
That's just the tip. Fuck yes.

256
00:16:30,499 --> 00:16:34,021
So there's a second base scene there. It was pretty hot, I think, you know?

257
00:16:34,584 --> 00:16:38,064
Yeah, it is because you want it so bad as the reader. I want it

258
00:16:38,064 --> 00:16:41,780
so bad. I want these two to get together so bad. But

259
00:16:41,797 --> 00:16:44,709
the, the teasing and the

260
00:16:45,192 --> 00:16:47,896
whatever is hot until she says,

261
00:16:49,473 --> 00:16:52,508
I just Want

262
00:16:53,187 --> 00:16:55,550
what was it? Entertainment or

263
00:16:56,909 --> 00:17:00,487
whatever it was that she said she wanted. It was not relationship,

264
00:17:01,103 --> 00:17:02,757
whatever. And then I was like,

265
00:17:07,183 --> 00:17:10,641
all right, I get it. But also like she wanted to release

266
00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:14,972
fun. Yeah, yeah, like and I liked it

267
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:18,842
how she tickled his wings. Yeah,

268
00:17:18,922 --> 00:17:22,406
it sounds weird when you say it like that, but that is what she's doing.

269
00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:25,650
She's touching that spot in his wings that he was like, you touch that spot,

270
00:17:25,666 --> 00:17:29,439
shit's going down. I want to tickle your wings. Come here. But when

271
00:17:29,439 --> 00:17:33,164
she has wings, when Lucien does the thing, he

272
00:17:33,212 --> 00:17:36,664
does run his finger down the edge of one of her

273
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,486
wings, and she now understands what that

274
00:17:40,775 --> 00:17:42,477
feels like. She's like

275
00:17:44,374 --> 00:17:47,964
Just full send into the tease

276
00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:51,795
mode. Yeah. And I— she wants that dick. She's thinking with

277
00:17:51,844 --> 00:17:55,683
her dick. Yes. Yes. You should definitely be

278
00:17:55,683 --> 00:17:56,920
thinking with your dick.

279
00:17:59,366 --> 00:18:02,793
Always. Yeah. It's the best way to live your life.

280
00:18:03,084 --> 00:18:06,817
Yeah. So second base happens in the end. It's a pretty hot and steamy

281
00:18:06,817 --> 00:18:09,161
scene. Um, after that,

282
00:18:10,992 --> 00:18:14,754
Is when shit goes down. He's

283
00:18:14,802 --> 00:18:18,304
flying her and a rain of ash

284
00:18:18,304 --> 00:18:22,000
arrows comes, goes through his

285
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,672
wings. He's gotta let her down. Shit hits the fan.

286
00:18:26,030 --> 00:18:29,880
We think Rhysand is dying. Yeah. Feyre is left

287
00:18:29,944 --> 00:18:33,423
to smell him out, find him. Go ahead, Nacho. She

288
00:18:33,423 --> 00:18:37,226
literally tracks him from like far, far away. Cause he like chucks

289
00:18:37,226 --> 00:18:40,794
her ass. Yeah. She doesn't— she's not around. She

290
00:18:40,842 --> 00:18:44,194
uses all of her, all of her

291
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:48,042
everything, her hunting experience from before she was

292
00:18:48,219 --> 00:18:51,522
fae, all of her powers. Now she's like,

293
00:18:52,003 --> 00:18:55,836
look at me, bitches. I'm a badass. And a

294
00:18:55,916 --> 00:18:58,738
badass. This is the butch part you were talking about, huh, G? This is the

295
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:02,474
butch part. She's like, can't find you? No problem. Give me a minute.

296
00:19:02,538 --> 00:19:05,794
I'm hopping from tree to tree. I'm sniffing the blood. And then I think what

297
00:19:05,794 --> 00:19:09,594
was interesting was she's following his scent, but also she's she can

298
00:19:09,626 --> 00:19:13,377
smell herself on him cuz they didn't shower after second base. So she is

299
00:19:13,473 --> 00:19:17,224
following this scent to find him and she's able to locate

300
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,671
him. She kicks ass to the warriors that have taken him.

301
00:19:20,767 --> 00:19:24,598
Mm-hmm. Completely handles that situation, grabs him,

302
00:19:24,791 --> 00:19:28,429
winnows him to a cave that she saw along the way

303
00:19:28,622 --> 00:19:32,373
and puts him safely in this cave. And then I think, uh, they

304
00:19:32,405 --> 00:19:35,771
go to bed that night, right? Like she's like, oh, he's sick, but you know,

305
00:19:35,835 --> 00:19:39,025
he's a— she takes out all the arrows. Yep. Yep. She's like, he's a fairy,

306
00:19:39,154 --> 00:19:42,320
so I'm sure he's gonna heal, but he's not healing as quickly because there was

307
00:19:42,433 --> 00:19:46,038
poison on it, et cetera, et cetera. What I thought was really fucking

308
00:19:46,458 --> 00:19:49,610
hilarious to add to your G.I. Jane fantasy of Feyre

309
00:19:51,707 --> 00:19:55,207
is the next morning she's like, you know what I need? I need a

310
00:19:55,207 --> 00:19:58,757
surreal. I done trapped one before. I'm gonna trap one again.

311
00:19:59,145 --> 00:20:02,185
Do it again. No problem. Lickety-split, she goes out there, she

312
00:20:02,185 --> 00:20:05,517
traps, she traps a surreal again and like,

313
00:20:05,969 --> 00:20:08,569
hey, what do I need to do? Like, he's dying. Like, what do I do?

314
00:20:09,412 --> 00:20:13,227
And that is an amazing scene because that is

315
00:20:13,339 --> 00:20:16,609
when she realizes that they're,

316
00:20:17,427 --> 00:20:20,649
that they are mates. Mates. And that the way— Not the cereal,

317
00:20:21,194 --> 00:20:24,447
but in return. Different story.

318
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,631
Feyre and the cereal. That sounds like a

319
00:20:28,647 --> 00:20:31,564
book I would read. Who's on top? I don't know.

320
00:20:32,879 --> 00:20:36,629
Um, but he, he shares with her that they're mates.

321
00:20:36,822 --> 00:20:40,548
And that her blood will save him. And like tells her

322
00:20:40,580 --> 00:20:43,857
also go and get this leaf so he can chew on it. So she's

323
00:20:44,275 --> 00:20:48,033
pissed, but it's all starting to make sense and everything

324
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:51,455
is adding up. And I think she's upset, number one, because he's,

325
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,422
he's had this, you know, he lies to her about some

326
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:58,923
things. He gives her a choice on other things. And this was just

327
00:20:58,972 --> 00:21:02,023
another thing. He didn't tell me, he didn't give me a choice on it. She's

328
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:05,844
mad. Yeah. Um, and so she goes back,

329
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:10,514
she confronts him, gives him it, gives him her blood to heal

330
00:21:10,611 --> 00:21:14,402
him enough that he can winnow them back to the Night

331
00:21:14,402 --> 00:21:17,963
Court. And he immediately, I

332
00:21:17,963 --> 00:21:20,816
think, at least I think he's like, oh shit, I fucked up.

333
00:21:21,736 --> 00:21:25,190
Yeah. He's like, whoopsies. He's real mad.

334
00:21:25,464 --> 00:21:29,080
Big mad. But he understands that he, he messed up. What was that? It

335
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,790
was in that moment that he— It was in that moment.

336
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,620
That he'd fucked up. Yeah. The worst way possible.

337
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:40,020
Yeah. And, uh, she like gets in his face and he's just like lying there

338
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:43,680
trembling and whining and like, like dying. It's like Feyre

339
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,460
agrees. But not quite. Yeah, totally. Yeah. And Cassian's like, what the fuck

340
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:50,620
happened? Did she like— in my brain, Cassian's

341
00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:54,200
like, yo, I don't know what he did, but Feyre done fucked him

342
00:21:55,230 --> 00:21:58,600
up. That's true because he doesn't know what happened. He's just like, oh, she beat

343
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,049
the shit out of him. Like, Like big eyes. In

344
00:22:02,411 --> 00:22:06,065
my brain, it's like Cassian's like, uh-oh,

345
00:22:06,802 --> 00:22:10,471
you fucked him up. I didn't know that could happen. Right? So I'm

346
00:22:10,471 --> 00:22:14,173
like, and again, Mor MVP.

347
00:22:14,253 --> 00:22:17,281
She looks at Mor and she says, get me outta here far away. Take me

348
00:22:17,281 --> 00:22:20,630
away. Take me somewhere like where she could be safe essentially. And Mor does.

349
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:24,139
Say less. She said, whoop. Takes her to like a cabin,

350
00:22:25,132 --> 00:22:28,949
puts Feyre up in the cabin, and this There's so many

351
00:22:28,981 --> 00:22:32,661
like reels and Instagram memes of like what

352
00:22:32,677 --> 00:22:36,469
happens in that cabin with Feyre because she's left alone essentially, and the cabin will

353
00:22:36,469 --> 00:22:40,176
provide for her anything that she needs. She's got food, she's got fucking paints.

354
00:22:40,498 --> 00:22:44,268
Feyre starts painting again all over the walls and surfaces

355
00:22:44,316 --> 00:22:47,960
of this cabin that's not hers. She's

356
00:22:47,976 --> 00:22:51,745
painting pictures in, in their cabin and all of those, like, have you seen the

357
00:22:51,761 --> 00:22:55,192
Instagram pictures of like Feyre painting like stick

358
00:22:55,192 --> 00:22:58,931
figures and like all this stuff. Oh, it's so

359
00:22:59,157 --> 00:23:02,925
funny. It's so funny. But she is, she is— Did you see that Mor does

360
00:23:03,296 --> 00:23:07,070
paint stick figures in there in that day that she spends

361
00:23:07,070 --> 00:23:10,811
with her? Yeah. I love it though.

362
00:23:11,281 --> 00:23:14,669
I love it because I did remember reading this and being like, oh my God,

363
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:18,422
she's just painting on their stuff. Like, what if they didn't want you to paint

364
00:23:18,422 --> 00:23:21,435
on it? She did. Listen, in my brain it was,

365
00:23:24,990 --> 00:23:28,525
this motherfucker done sent me over the edge.

366
00:23:29,768 --> 00:23:33,513
And now you know what? I don't have enough paper for what I got to

367
00:23:33,577 --> 00:23:37,353
do. So I'm just going to— I know it's his. I know it's all

368
00:23:37,531 --> 00:23:41,355
his. I'm going to go ahead and just show him

369
00:23:41,807 --> 00:23:45,581
what happens when you send me over the edge, you asshole. So

370
00:23:45,598 --> 00:23:49,242
this was Feyre's way. But I'm gonna paint all over your shit.

371
00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:52,598
Feyre's way of slashing his tires. This is just beautiful

372
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:56,372
artwork all over his cabin. Yes. But she didn't

373
00:23:56,372 --> 00:24:00,113
paint him. Remember he like, okay, so she's painting

374
00:24:00,225 --> 00:24:03,982
everybody else, Mor and Cassian and Azriel and

375
00:24:03,982 --> 00:24:07,691
Amren and all of these beautiful things, but refuses to paint Rhysand

376
00:24:07,691 --> 00:24:11,401
because to her, she doesn't wanna miss him. And so

377
00:24:12,252 --> 00:24:15,272
after I don't even know how many days, finally there's a knock on the door

378
00:24:15,963 --> 00:24:19,352
and she thinks it's Moore coming to deliver whatever and opens the door and it's

379
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:22,693
Rhysand. He has tracked her through Morrigan's

380
00:24:22,709 --> 00:24:26,548
movements. It's taken him forever to get there. He's freezing his ass off outside,

381
00:24:26,564 --> 00:24:29,985
but he does it. Because he can't use his powers because every time he uses

382
00:24:30,017 --> 00:24:33,439
his powers, somebody's tracking it.

383
00:24:33,648 --> 00:24:37,469
Somebody shows up and tries to kill him. I

384
00:24:37,469 --> 00:24:41,077
like that at the doorway, he doesn't even say anything to her. He's just waiting

385
00:24:41,173 --> 00:24:44,685
for her to invite him in. And he's just like looking at her with like

386
00:24:44,685 --> 00:24:48,454
this, like, I'm so fucking sorry, like, give me another chance. But he doesn't

387
00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:52,127
have to say that stuff. He's just staring at her. She invites him in.

388
00:24:53,602 --> 00:24:57,259
She sees he's cold. She offers to give him some nice delicious

389
00:24:57,355 --> 00:25:00,370
stew or soup or whatever the fuck it is. And that's when he says, oh

390
00:25:00,418 --> 00:25:03,643
my God, you're making me food. And then shares with her that that's like

391
00:25:04,414 --> 00:25:08,219
this important ritual when one mate offers the other mate food. As

392
00:25:08,219 --> 00:25:11,847
she's heating it up is when Rhysand shares everything.

393
00:25:12,441 --> 00:25:15,443
'Cause she wants to know, how long have you known? When did you find out?

394
00:25:15,507 --> 00:25:18,204
Tell me everything. And he tells her everything,

395
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,716
including that while he was Amarantha's whore under the

396
00:25:22,716 --> 00:25:26,312
mountain and like thinking there was nothing else left to

397
00:25:26,328 --> 00:25:29,795
live except for this horrible existence, he would have visions of this

398
00:25:29,795 --> 00:25:33,420
beautiful human hand painting. Flowers and

399
00:25:33,581 --> 00:25:36,347
flames and starlight and pictures. And it was Feyre.

400
00:25:38,020 --> 00:25:41,414
It was Feyre and what she was painting in her dilapidated cottage with her

401
00:25:41,414 --> 00:25:45,055
sisters and her dad. And these

402
00:25:45,087 --> 00:25:48,864
visions would come and go of like this beautiful person. And that was what

403
00:25:48,864 --> 00:25:52,464
Rhysand would hold onto as his hope that like this horrible

404
00:25:52,835 --> 00:25:56,542
time with Amarantha would soon end, or, or that there was something more

405
00:25:56,608 --> 00:26:00,350
than this. And so for Rhysand, he clung to those memories

406
00:26:01,168 --> 00:26:04,941
and those visions, and it led him up until the day where he

407
00:26:04,941 --> 00:26:08,231
says, you know, the visions all of a sudden one day, they didn't seem cloudy

408
00:26:08,247 --> 00:26:11,538
or fuzzy. They were crystal clear because that was when she had crossed the wall.

409
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:15,727
And what he saw there was the Spring Court. He knew

410
00:26:16,594 --> 00:26:19,965
that he had to go and figure this shit out. Like, where is this coming

411
00:26:20,029 --> 00:26:23,224
from? Somebody is there. I need to figure it out. And convinces

412
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,135
Amarantha to let him go. And that's when in book

413
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,573
1, he tracks her

414
00:26:31,235 --> 00:26:34,541
and he says, there you are. I've been looking for you. That's how that all

415
00:26:34,832 --> 00:26:38,512
ties in together. And it's so fucking romantic and sweet and

416
00:26:38,689 --> 00:26:42,288
wonderful and gorgeous and delightful. I've been waiting for you.

417
00:26:42,579 --> 00:26:46,151
I've been looking for you. Yeah. Like I said, I had to

418
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,446
wait 55 fucking chapters.

419
00:26:50,370 --> 00:26:54,023
55. She's like, I don't fucking care that it was sweet and romantic. What? Gee,

420
00:26:54,183 --> 00:26:57,647
gee, give us just the tip. Give us just the tip. You waited this,

421
00:26:57,887 --> 00:27:01,496
this whole time. What happens? I found it to be

422
00:27:01,496 --> 00:27:04,783
super sensual. All right, because like

423
00:27:06,162 --> 00:27:09,674
now they got all the words out. Um, now I

424
00:27:09,674 --> 00:27:12,785
understood what all that manipulation was

425
00:27:13,025 --> 00:27:16,713
about and how he truly

426
00:27:16,810 --> 00:27:20,582
was sorry. He really was. He like showed up with like a dog

427
00:27:20,662 --> 00:27:24,355
with his tail between his legs. It was not rough sex like

428
00:27:24,981 --> 00:27:28,289
Tamlin had with her. It was

429
00:27:28,835 --> 00:27:32,207
loving and caring and sweet and

430
00:27:32,544 --> 00:27:36,205
very emotional. He was very gentlemanly. I think I

431
00:27:36,382 --> 00:27:40,171
realize now that I do— I like the emotion with the

432
00:27:40,171 --> 00:27:43,951
sex because to me I was like, yes. I'll reread this

433
00:27:43,951 --> 00:27:47,513
scene 100 times from him showing up at the door till the sex

434
00:27:47,513 --> 00:27:50,687
sex because of how much he confesses and like

435
00:27:52,515 --> 00:27:56,186
how she says, you know, she would, cuz he was like worried that anybody would

436
00:27:56,235 --> 00:27:59,324
be ashamed to be with him. And she's like, no, I'd be proud to be

437
00:27:59,324 --> 00:28:02,922
with you. And like, they are completely fucking each other emotionally

438
00:28:02,954 --> 00:28:06,802
before the physical happens. And yeah, I love that they fucked

439
00:28:06,802 --> 00:28:10,457
on the table with the paints. I fucking loved it. I

440
00:28:10,570 --> 00:28:13,742
loved it. I loved it. I loved it. Yeah. I would do that. I think

441
00:28:13,742 --> 00:28:17,192
it would be like super cool. Yeah. Yeah, and super like

442
00:28:17,481 --> 00:28:20,401
romantic. You got an infection because you got the paint somewhere.

443
00:28:20,689 --> 00:28:24,251
It's a non-toxic paint. It's no different than

444
00:28:24,315 --> 00:28:27,701
fucking on the hood of a car during a rainstorm. Still something I wouldn't

445
00:28:27,701 --> 00:28:31,503
do. I would dent the hood and then I would

446
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,386
feel bad about that. Uh, no, you wouldn't. Right. My ass—

447
00:28:35,466 --> 00:28:38,884
my— listen, this is, this is See, what had happened was—

448
00:28:39,944 --> 00:28:43,347
this is how this would go down. I would like lean onto the back of

449
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:46,992
the hood and then start slipping and sliding down and then trying to catch,

450
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:51,166
right? And then taking said significant other with

451
00:28:51,263 --> 00:28:55,020
me until my ass hits the grate, and then I move, and then

452
00:28:55,212 --> 00:28:58,808
I just— now I have gravel in my vagina.

453
00:28:59,226 --> 00:29:02,533
Oh. None of this sounds like a good time to me. People are all like,

454
00:29:02,597 --> 00:29:05,725
car sex is great. Uh, no,

455
00:29:06,686 --> 00:29:09,811
no, I'm a fat kid. Car sex is not great for me.

456
00:29:10,516 --> 00:29:13,673
Like— What about sex on a painted table?

457
00:29:14,699 --> 00:29:18,352
Oh, hell yeah. I mean, sure, if I had like Feyre's healing

458
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,718
abilities, probably,

459
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:25,564
yeah. Like, come on, a little

460
00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:28,769
sand in the vagina or paint in the vagina is not gonna be a problem.

461
00:29:29,330 --> 00:29:33,100
Yeah, I'm going for it 100%. I am fucking

462
00:29:33,132 --> 00:29:36,966
going for it. Rhysand. Yes, absolutely. All day, every day. That is my book

463
00:29:36,966 --> 00:29:40,720
husband. Nobody can compare. Rhysand is the one. Yes.

464
00:29:40,816 --> 00:29:44,666
Yeah. Rhysand. Rhysand is my, my— For right now.

465
00:29:44,907 --> 00:29:48,420
But like, I'm sure there's— Even after having read

466
00:29:48,693 --> 00:29:52,383
Fourth Wing and Xaden. Yes. Because Rhysand is older.

467
00:29:52,527 --> 00:29:56,312
I have debated this in the shower many times. Where I'm like,

468
00:29:56,473 --> 00:29:59,821
if I could, like, yes, Rhysand is older and I think that

469
00:29:59,837 --> 00:30:03,683
appeals to me because Xaden is, I mean, I

470
00:30:03,683 --> 00:30:07,512
don't know what Xaden's actual age is, but he's in like high, or in college

471
00:30:07,528 --> 00:30:11,261
kind of, right? He's in a university. So Rhysand is older. We're putting

472
00:30:11,294 --> 00:30:15,059
real world shit on it. Like, there's something emotionally that

473
00:30:15,059 --> 00:30:18,712
tugs at me about an older man providing, but not too old.

474
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,605
I'm not trying to, you know, I'm just saying like we're— Right. Not 800

475
00:30:22,605 --> 00:30:26,448
or 900 years. Right. 500 years. About 3. No,

476
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:30,362
I'm just kidding. But I think that's literally

477
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:34,221
the only winning thing between the two is Luciano's older.

478
00:30:36,132 --> 00:30:39,084
Yeah. I would also even argue he's, he's, um,

479
00:30:40,487 --> 00:30:42,875
okay being vulnerable more so than Zayden,

480
00:30:45,634 --> 00:30:49,306
but it's probably maturity, you know, he's more mature. Anyhow,

481
00:30:49,469 --> 00:30:53,193
we can talk about this all day, but So they do, they, they finally made

482
00:30:53,193 --> 00:30:56,757
up, they have the sex, they commit to one another and commit to that mating

483
00:30:56,902 --> 00:31:00,643
bond. And now it's time to go home because there's still this impending

484
00:31:00,755 --> 00:31:04,593
war that they've gotta prep for, et cetera, et cetera. Oh, also

485
00:31:04,593 --> 00:31:07,628
at this point he had heard back from the queens with the second half of

486
00:31:07,724 --> 00:31:11,080
the book, so they gotta, they have to go back. And

487
00:31:11,577 --> 00:31:15,110
I love that he shared, it's kind of lame, but I kind of liked it,

488
00:31:15,126 --> 00:31:18,627
is that he shared with her that like Like after a mating

489
00:31:18,739 --> 00:31:22,433
bond is sealed, like that male is super jealous. So like

490
00:31:23,156 --> 00:31:26,818
if anybody's gonna look at her the wrong way, he's gonna like lose his shit

491
00:31:26,914 --> 00:31:30,704
because it's so fresh. And he gets, they finally make it back and

492
00:31:30,704 --> 00:31:33,065
Cassian is such an asshole. Uh,

493
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,795
Cassian's like, hey, favorite girl,

494
00:31:35,844 --> 00:31:38,317
what's up?

495
00:31:39,698 --> 00:31:43,151
And then they fight it out, you know. Cassian's my favorite.

496
00:31:45,413 --> 00:31:48,060
I would— Cassian,

497
00:31:49,609 --> 00:31:53,293
if I was going to put a favorite

498
00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:57,487
book male main character at this point in my

499
00:31:57,487 --> 00:32:01,291
life, it would be Cassian. Just the sarcasm, and

500
00:32:01,323 --> 00:32:05,125
then having read the newest book

501
00:32:05,174 --> 00:32:08,218
here, but I just love Cassian.

502
00:32:09,503 --> 00:32:13,168
Mm-hmm. He's, he's where it's at for me. Rhysand is too. Yeah.

503
00:32:13,234 --> 00:32:16,205
Wait, you read, um, the last book? Is that what you're saying? Yeah.

504
00:32:16,499 --> 00:32:20,185
Mm-hmm. Anyways, we're getting off

505
00:32:20,185 --> 00:32:23,254
topic. Um, I mean, it's hard not to when you know

506
00:32:23,254 --> 00:32:24,853
what's coming, right?

507
00:32:27,729 --> 00:32:31,399
Um, anyhow, they know that the queens are ready now to have this

508
00:32:31,512 --> 00:32:35,310
discussion. They meet the queens back at

509
00:32:35,310 --> 00:32:38,962
Feyre's family's home. And now they're coming back as

510
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:42,831
mates. The queens reveal that Rhysand had

511
00:32:42,863 --> 00:32:45,946
written them a letter to try to convince them to partner in this war.

512
00:32:46,717 --> 00:32:49,896
And in that letter, he confesses his love for this human woman.

513
00:32:50,571 --> 00:32:54,199
And she's hearing that for the first time. But he

514
00:32:54,248 --> 00:32:57,780
reveals his— the ace up his sleeve to

515
00:32:57,941 --> 00:33:01,730
try to persuade them to give him the book, which is Velaris.

516
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:05,983
He shares that this place exists. They don't believe him,

517
00:33:07,026 --> 00:33:10,830
but he shows them. And so now they're like, oh shit. Wow.

518
00:33:11,263 --> 00:33:14,890
Okay, cool. Uh, we need to think about it. Before they

519
00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:18,582
leave though, one of the queens seems to drop a handkerchief on the

520
00:33:18,582 --> 00:33:22,353
floor. Um, Rhysand clocks it. I don't think anybody

521
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:25,194
else does and notices that it's like a sign,

522
00:33:26,285 --> 00:33:29,835
like, hey, there's something down here. Yeah. Those queens leave,

523
00:33:30,579 --> 00:33:33,524
and the rest of the room is pissed. Like, how could you reveal the Lars?

524
00:33:33,589 --> 00:33:37,326
They didn't even do it. And like freaking out. And Rhysand is like, "There's something

525
00:33:37,326 --> 00:33:41,140
under the chair." And that's when he sees that that queen had left

526
00:33:41,737 --> 00:33:43,272
the book, which was what they were hoping for.

527
00:33:46,482 --> 00:33:49,624
But with a consequence, right? Because he did that.

528
00:33:52,303 --> 00:33:56,020
So, like, later. Maybe even, like, moments—

529
00:33:56,020 --> 00:33:59,621
not even moments, but, like, a day or so later, they make it back from

530
00:33:59,701 --> 00:34:02,659
the human realm, back to Velaris. Cassian

531
00:34:03,245 --> 00:34:07,015
and Feyre are out fucking around, doing hot

532
00:34:07,015 --> 00:34:10,628
girl shit. And they

533
00:34:11,946 --> 00:34:15,416
all of a sudden feel this— Feyre feels this, like,

534
00:34:15,898 --> 00:34:18,999
tremble. In the water. In the water.

535
00:34:20,234 --> 00:34:22,516
'Cause they're walking beside the Cedra or whatever,

536
00:34:23,111 --> 00:34:26,904
and all of a

537
00:34:26,904 --> 00:34:30,507
sudden they see this black cloud. What's happening?

538
00:34:31,635 --> 00:34:34,906
Oh shit. And then all hell breaks loose.

539
00:34:35,744 --> 00:34:38,724
There's fucking the adders, like, eating people's

540
00:34:38,724 --> 00:34:42,440
faces. There's, like, wyverns or wyverns, I don't know how you want to

541
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,369
say it. There's soldiers that are just, like— They're all monsters.

542
00:34:46,713 --> 00:34:50,270
plopping down and trying to fuck with people. Like, they're

543
00:34:50,398 --> 00:34:54,067
getting attacked. Cassian's like, you need to go back to the house. I can't,

544
00:34:54,147 --> 00:34:57,848
like, protect you and do the things that I need to do. And Feyre's like,

545
00:34:57,864 --> 00:35:01,404
fine, I'll go. And he's like, run! And she's like, yeah, okay, great. And so

546
00:35:01,677 --> 00:35:05,361
she starts hauling ass, he goes to do the thing, and then she stops and

547
00:35:05,361 --> 00:35:09,062
she's like, mm-hmm, this

548
00:35:09,062 --> 00:35:12,779
isn't really gonna work out for me. So then she sees this one, one

549
00:35:12,971 --> 00:35:15,567
person who's, like, protecting people from these soldiers that

550
00:35:15,567 --> 00:35:19,287
are outside of her shop. And Feyre goes

551
00:35:19,383 --> 00:35:23,168
and just starts— she uses her magic that

552
00:35:23,168 --> 00:35:26,905
she's been practicing and she makes these like water wolves

553
00:35:27,482 --> 00:35:30,593
and eats a whole bunch of like fucking

554
00:35:31,652 --> 00:35:35,485
nasty bastards. And then at one point somebody

555
00:35:35,501 --> 00:35:39,269
was trying to fly away and then the wolves turned

556
00:35:39,269 --> 00:35:43,007
into like water eagles. Oh my god. And all

557
00:35:43,007 --> 00:35:45,287
hell breaks loose. And then all of a sudden there's the adder.

558
00:35:47,912 --> 00:35:51,758
Mm-hmm. The adder picks this— picks up Feyre, and he's gonna—

559
00:35:51,758 --> 00:35:54,498
he's like, I'm gonna fucking kill you, and blah.

560
00:35:56,379 --> 00:35:58,942
And then Feyre

561
00:35:59,623 --> 00:36:03,078
snaps. She sees over in the corner that

562
00:36:03,582 --> 00:36:07,205
her Dark Knight— that sounded very Batman,

563
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,742
whatever— Her man is on his way,

564
00:36:11,259 --> 00:36:14,261
but he's not going to get here in time. So

565
00:36:14,988 --> 00:36:18,827
what's a bitch to do? What's a bitch to do but defend

566
00:36:18,843 --> 00:36:22,369
oneself? So she snaps, and

567
00:36:22,627 --> 00:36:26,057
I can't— I can't even remember all the ways

568
00:36:26,057 --> 00:36:29,631
because I was so into like, yes, bitch, yes, do

569
00:36:29,663 --> 00:36:31,607
it! But she like

570
00:36:33,292 --> 00:36:36,784
infiltrates him, I guess. Mm-hmm. The Attor.

571
00:36:37,489 --> 00:36:41,190
And like, it's like she starts stabbing him

572
00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:44,844
with a knife and like, this is for me and

573
00:36:44,956 --> 00:36:48,322
this is for Rhysand and this is for blah blah blah

574
00:36:48,947 --> 00:36:51,991
and this. And I'm just like, yes, bitch, make that fucker

575
00:36:52,007 --> 00:36:55,837
bleed! Sorry, I drew a blank. On the last blow, she's like,

576
00:36:55,853 --> 00:36:59,186
and this is for me. Yeah. And then

577
00:36:59,763 --> 00:37:02,956
boom, no more Attor. But now she's falling,

578
00:37:03,293 --> 00:37:06,905
right? And then the night catches her, the starlight,

579
00:37:06,985 --> 00:37:10,533
whatever catches her, and he finally makes it and she's

580
00:37:10,533 --> 00:37:13,311
exhausted and end scene.

581
00:37:14,162 --> 00:37:17,822
Yeah, and he's looking at her like, damn, you're— you really did the thing. I

582
00:37:17,822 --> 00:37:21,467
tried to break through your shields and I fucking couldn't. Oh yeah, he— she like

583
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:25,208
blocked his ass because she could hear him, hear Rhysand like, where

584
00:37:25,208 --> 00:37:28,387
are you? Yeah, she's like, no, motherfucker, this is all

585
00:37:29,141 --> 00:37:32,864
me. I'm gonna show you what I've She was like, I was

586
00:37:32,928 --> 00:37:36,490
busy, brother. I don't know what to tell you. I was fucking busy. I

587
00:37:36,923 --> 00:37:40,757
was handling my business. Yeah, it was hot. That was, that was

588
00:37:40,934 --> 00:37:44,736
an epic, wonderful, beautiful, I loved it scene because that was when Rhysand

589
00:37:44,784 --> 00:37:48,586
realized she wasn't just fighting for her and him, but fighting for the people of

590
00:37:48,634 --> 00:37:52,100
his home, his land, Velarys. So he was like, damn, she did it. Damn, people

591
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,549
saw that too. And it's a total like G.I. Jane, um,

592
00:37:55,934 --> 00:37:59,595
butch Energy. Like, no, don't tell me to fucking go home.

593
00:38:01,081 --> 00:38:04,731
I want to help. This is my home now. Right. I want to do the

594
00:38:04,731 --> 00:38:07,490
things that help protect the people that I, I've come to love.

595
00:38:10,276 --> 00:38:14,111
Yes. I think like to Nacha's point, use all of these powers

596
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:17,864
and like be of help, which is all she's ever

597
00:38:17,864 --> 00:38:21,714
wanted to fucking do since coming to the fae realm. Right.

598
00:38:21,763 --> 00:38:25,572
Was like, I just want to be helpful and help. So after

599
00:38:25,687 --> 00:38:29,333
that, once— sorry. No, that's good. What was it, a beer?

600
00:38:30,886 --> 00:38:34,408
No, it's a— I found a root beer

601
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:36,282
flavored seltzer water.

602
00:38:39,749 --> 00:38:41,473
Huh. It's not as good as I thought it was gonna be.

603
00:38:46,427 --> 00:38:50,178
Do you want to teach lemonade instead? No, because I have to drive

604
00:38:50,276 --> 00:38:54,028
home. Oh, we don't feed

605
00:38:54,028 --> 00:38:57,729
Nacho THC. It's not great. You don't want to ride a horse

606
00:38:57,729 --> 00:39:01,258
home? She

607
00:39:01,309 --> 00:39:04,789
would ride Amaranth home. Heyo! Heyo!

608
00:39:05,115 --> 00:39:08,637
Heyo! You don't shave a horse, ride a cowboy. That's the one. I heard shave

609
00:39:08,637 --> 00:39:12,126
a cowboy. Everything. Ride a cowboy,

610
00:39:12,374 --> 00:39:16,065
shave a cowboy, whatever. Um.

611
00:39:17,287 --> 00:39:21,088
Okay. So the next big, I guess, crazy shit that happens after

612
00:39:21,473 --> 00:39:25,049
that attack is now that they have the 2 sides of the

613
00:39:25,082 --> 00:39:28,610
book, they need to go and get business done, which is to go

614
00:39:28,610 --> 00:39:32,379
down and get to the cauldron. Because

615
00:39:32,379 --> 00:39:35,378
with the 2 sides of the book— In Hybern. Yep. They gotta break it up.

616
00:39:35,587 --> 00:39:39,372
Right. Blow it up. Right, right. Some very interesting things here.

617
00:39:39,661 --> 00:39:43,334
Even though Feyre is Feyre with all these

618
00:39:43,366 --> 00:39:46,657
powers and stuff, they're still worried about her with this one. Because if she puts

619
00:39:46,657 --> 00:39:50,060
the 2 pieces together or puts it together, it

620
00:39:50,141 --> 00:39:53,683
could potentially destroy her because it's

621
00:39:53,779 --> 00:39:57,426
like this, um, it's really dark

622
00:39:57,474 --> 00:40:00,993
magic. Yeah. And like the strongest of strong can't

623
00:40:01,025 --> 00:40:04,540
necessarily tear away from it and what it's saying and what it's making them do.

624
00:40:05,138 --> 00:40:08,874
So they all go down there. I think it's Mor is given the order to

625
00:40:08,874 --> 00:40:12,390
like watch Feyre, make sure she doesn't kind of lose

626
00:40:12,407 --> 00:40:16,223
herself, lose control of this. situation. And Feyre can

627
00:40:16,223 --> 00:40:19,212
hear this book, this cauldron speaking to her.

628
00:40:20,165 --> 00:40:23,252
Nobody else seems to be able to hear it, but she can. And it's saying,

629
00:40:23,365 --> 00:40:26,005
make me whole again. Put me together. Make me whole. Make me whole. Which is

630
00:40:26,005 --> 00:40:29,450
what everybody's saying, whatever you do, don't do that. But Feyre's like, well—

631
00:40:30,674 --> 00:40:34,486
Amren says when she gives the book, the pieces of the book to her, she

632
00:40:34,486 --> 00:40:37,663
says, you cannot put it together because if you put it together, you're going to

633
00:40:37,728 --> 00:40:40,208
wake up ancient things that have been sleeping forever that

634
00:40:41,533 --> 00:40:44,337
Cannot be. They should never be woken up.

635
00:40:44,433 --> 00:40:48,247
And she says, whoopsies. Oops, my

636
00:40:48,247 --> 00:40:51,500
bad. She said, but they said do it, Cameron.

637
00:40:52,189 --> 00:40:55,314
It's just following orders. Um, is that one of those things where do as I

638
00:40:55,314 --> 00:40:58,134
say, not as I do? I guess,

639
00:40:58,743 --> 00:41:02,220
perhaps. But in, in making that grave

640
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:04,976
mistake, what is revealed afterwards is

641
00:41:05,329 --> 00:41:08,746
crazy. Um, what's that guy's name again?

642
00:41:09,328 --> 00:41:12,898
Uh, Jurian comes back to life.

643
00:41:13,302 --> 00:41:17,113
This bitch just strolls out after however many years being inside of Amren's

644
00:41:17,113 --> 00:41:19,911
ring. He's like, hey, remember me?

645
00:41:22,356 --> 00:41:25,529
And Rhysand's like, where the fuck have you been? What are you doing here? Yeah.

646
00:41:26,543 --> 00:41:30,393
Um, I picture them like, like this creepy grave or, um, cave

647
00:41:30,425 --> 00:41:33,316
basement. And you've got Rhysand there, Cassian.

648
00:41:35,451 --> 00:41:39,009
Azrael, Mor, Amren, Feyre, Jurian,

649
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:43,989
the King of Hybern shows up, and so does

650
00:41:45,646 --> 00:41:49,463
Tamlin and Lucien. Oh yeah, when they go back up to

651
00:41:49,528 --> 00:41:52,554
the, to the throne room. The whole shebang.

652
00:41:52,830 --> 00:41:56,297
Everybody is there. And then there's this cauldron, this giant

653
00:41:56,329 --> 00:42:00,088
cauldron that's like the size of a hot tub. Well, and

654
00:42:00,088 --> 00:42:03,860
it's— Tamlin's there because he comes out of the corner when Hybern

655
00:42:03,860 --> 00:42:07,471
goes, yes, so this is your end of the deal,

656
00:42:07,888 --> 00:42:11,547
where's my end of the deal? Yes. And then out walks Tamlin,

657
00:42:12,045 --> 00:42:15,752
like lurks Tamlin. And I'm all about lurking, like I'm a great

658
00:42:15,752 --> 00:42:19,138
lurker, let's work together and be happy. But this is like a

659
00:42:19,138 --> 00:42:22,974
slimy lurk. No thank you, no

660
00:42:22,974 --> 00:42:26,710
thank you. And then we find out that Tamlin made a

661
00:42:26,936 --> 00:42:30,553
deal with Hybern, the King of Hybern,

662
00:42:30,989 --> 00:42:33,718
to kidnap

663
00:42:34,768 --> 00:42:38,508
Feyre so that they could go back. Feyre could go

664
00:42:38,524 --> 00:42:42,324
back to the Spring Court. But to Tamlin, it wasn't kidnapping. She wanted

665
00:42:42,324 --> 00:42:46,075
to come back. Saving. He was saving her. Saving her. Side

666
00:42:46,123 --> 00:42:49,134
note, remember in the beginning where I was like, I think what fuels Tamlin is

667
00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:52,641
his need to be different, to be seen different? Uh, from his

668
00:42:52,673 --> 00:42:56,296
father, but he keeps fucking up. His father, one of the

669
00:42:56,296 --> 00:42:59,613
people that his father partnered with and sided with was the King of

670
00:42:59,645 --> 00:43:03,412
Hybern. And the King of Hybern's whole mission is to

671
00:43:03,412 --> 00:43:06,938
not let, um, to basically not let humans be

672
00:43:06,938 --> 00:43:10,624
freed. He wants them to be slaves and treated so poorly. Like he wants control

673
00:43:10,624 --> 00:43:13,942
over the whole land and humans will be slaves. So the fact that, that

674
00:43:13,990 --> 00:43:17,757
Tamlin at the end of this book has sought help from the King of

675
00:43:17,757 --> 00:43:21,317
Hybern to retrieve and save Feyre. Mm-hmm. Is

676
00:43:21,414 --> 00:43:25,169
just like, I'm like, dude, you are such a piece of shit. I

677
00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:28,326
fucking hate you, bro. Yeah. Like he has not only

678
00:43:28,326 --> 00:43:31,919
sacrificed Feyre, but has

679
00:43:32,032 --> 00:43:35,640
put her family in harm's way. Yes.

680
00:43:35,996 --> 00:43:39,056
And so as if, as if it's not bad enough that we see Tamlin and

681
00:43:39,153 --> 00:43:42,829
Lucien fucking come out of the shadows, they're

682
00:43:42,943 --> 00:43:46,409
probably fucking, who knows? Well, maybe, but I would still read that.

683
00:43:47,958 --> 00:43:50,988
In the shadows of the throne room. I'm second in line.

684
00:43:51,822 --> 00:43:55,332
Thank you. Um, the

685
00:43:55,332 --> 00:43:59,148
queens are also there because the King of Highburn says

686
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:02,242
that this cauldron can give them life like it did to Feyre.

687
00:44:03,364 --> 00:44:07,163
And so he, to show them that that will work, that

688
00:44:07,292 --> 00:44:10,882
that happens, he has Nesta and

689
00:44:10,979 --> 00:44:12,213
Elain brought in.

690
00:44:15,057 --> 00:44:18,736
And like, these are innocent bystanders, right? Like, they

691
00:44:18,833 --> 00:44:22,191
weren't— they weren't part of this whole scheme thing.

692
00:44:23,187 --> 00:44:26,899
And what a fucking piece of shit he was to

693
00:44:28,169 --> 00:44:31,816
be a gigantic fucking liar. And because his little fucking

694
00:44:31,848 --> 00:44:34,998
heart got hurt, oh, she went with her friend and she—

695
00:44:35,078 --> 00:44:38,758
He's got her under his spell, clearly. Yeah.

696
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,077
Yeah. Um, because to Tamlin, he thinks Rhysand has

697
00:44:43,526 --> 00:44:47,219
Feyre's mind under a spell. There's no way she could possibly

698
00:44:47,219 --> 00:44:50,832
not wanna be with me because I'm a fucking asshole. It

699
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,557
has to be because he has tricked her and bent her mind to believe

700
00:44:55,135 --> 00:44:58,571
otherwise. Right. But when Nesta and Elain walk in,

701
00:44:59,149 --> 00:45:02,236
what happens? Lucien sees Elain and says, that's my mate. Mm-hmm.

702
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,954
Okay. Like, I mean, he immediately claims her. He sees her. Oh my God,

703
00:45:09,002 --> 00:45:11,561
she's my mate. He knows right away Elayne is his mate.

704
00:45:13,189 --> 00:45:16,646
How the fuck? I don't know. He never has never seen her until then.

705
00:45:18,844 --> 00:45:22,413
They take Elayne and it snaps into place or whatever. Yeah. Immediately

706
00:45:23,009 --> 00:45:26,792
Elayne's like, who the fuck are you? Um, the King of Ibben

707
00:45:26,825 --> 00:45:30,331
grabs Elayne and that's the first one to go into the cauldron. She's gonna go

708
00:45:30,379 --> 00:45:33,943
in the cauldron. She's gonna come out a fae. And Nesta's

709
00:45:34,024 --> 00:45:37,588
losing her goddamn mind because Nesta's always

710
00:45:37,620 --> 00:45:41,458
wanted to protect Elain. And she is fucking like, I just picture her like

711
00:45:41,458 --> 00:45:45,263
foaming at the mouth, like, Yeah. Fucking clawing her way to get

712
00:45:45,263 --> 00:45:48,940
to help Nesta. And I think that's when

713
00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:52,746
Cassian sees, I mean, obviously they knew, like, as

714
00:45:52,746 --> 00:45:56,567
soon as they see, uh, Elain and Nesta there, they're all like,

715
00:45:56,712 --> 00:46:00,485
what the fuck? You know? 'Cause they didn't want that to happen. Yeah. But

716
00:46:00,485 --> 00:46:04,322
I think when Cassian sees Nesta hurting

717
00:46:04,419 --> 00:46:08,192
for Elain and like that whole thing, something there snaps too, where

718
00:46:08,192 --> 00:46:11,355
he's like, I promised that I would keep them safe and here I am, right?

719
00:46:11,419 --> 00:46:14,711
Like, he is trying to keep her safe. He gets fucked up.

720
00:46:16,140 --> 00:46:19,656
Um, Azriel also gets hurt in all of this.

721
00:46:21,124 --> 00:46:24,838
Nesta goes into the cauldron and she comes back out. Not Nesta, sorry. Elayne goes

722
00:46:24,838 --> 00:46:27,405
into the cauldron, she comes back out and she's fae,

723
00:46:28,616 --> 00:46:31,025
right? So like the king's like, look, it happened. Let me show you one more

724
00:46:31,076 --> 00:46:34,000
time. Grabs Nesta

725
00:46:35,197 --> 00:46:38,642
and Nesta, bless her fucking heart. I

726
00:46:38,836 --> 00:46:41,974
loved that Nesta was like, oh, you gonna put me in the cauldron? I'm pointing

727
00:46:42,071 --> 00:46:45,902
at you, bro. There you go, motherfucker. You bitch. Like, I'm coming back. I'm gonna

728
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,838
fuck you up. Yep. Yeah. Oh, goes

729
00:46:49,935 --> 00:46:53,149
into the cauldron. Foreshadowing.

730
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,283
Something happens in that cauldron when Nesta's in there, cuz Nesta's a feisty

731
00:46:57,299 --> 00:47:00,337
little bitch, but you don't find that out until the last book.

732
00:47:02,466 --> 00:47:05,814
So she goes into the cauldron. She also comes out and she's fae.

733
00:47:07,651 --> 00:47:11,418
Mm-hmm. So now the queens are like, cool, it's our turn, right? The next queen

734
00:47:11,450 --> 00:47:15,186
goes into the cauldron, but she doesn't come out unharmed like the other 2. She

735
00:47:15,186 --> 00:47:18,719
comes out, I think she's all fucking crazy looking, like ain't

736
00:47:18,735 --> 00:47:22,026
beautiful, doesn't look like anything because Nesta done fucked up the

737
00:47:22,026 --> 00:47:25,783
cauldron. Nesta fucked it up for

738
00:47:25,799 --> 00:47:29,412
everybody else. Nesta's down there like, I'm gonna make sure everybody's—

739
00:47:29,412 --> 00:47:32,173
whoever goes in here next is gonna be fucked for life.

740
00:47:33,345 --> 00:47:36,749
Yes, she does. While all of this chaos is sort of happening,

741
00:47:37,295 --> 00:47:40,827
something that's going on in Feyre's mind is like, first of all, she's like,

742
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,795
Fuck, there's no way out of this, right? Like, he was like, Mm-hmm.

743
00:47:44,876 --> 00:47:47,173
I have no more luck here. But

744
00:47:48,606 --> 00:47:50,747
Feyre is able to tell

745
00:47:52,631 --> 00:47:55,625
that there are weak spots in the wards, 'cause that's the other thing I forgot

746
00:47:55,625 --> 00:47:59,367
to mention. When they're in this cave, they all don't have— they can't, um,

747
00:47:59,883 --> 00:48:03,465
use their bond to, to communicate.

748
00:48:03,530 --> 00:48:06,903
It's like fucking with their magic and with their, with their bond. But

749
00:48:07,945 --> 00:48:11,715
Feyre, because she's part of all of this, right? Like she has elements of

750
00:48:11,715 --> 00:48:14,763
these crazy things, is able to tell that there are weak spots in this ward.

751
00:48:16,127 --> 00:48:19,496
And so she's able to sort of distract long enough to break,

752
00:48:20,378 --> 00:48:23,650
to break all of that so that these guys can now winnow out, right? Like

753
00:48:23,891 --> 00:48:27,581
her goal is, I gotta keep my crew safe. They've

754
00:48:27,597 --> 00:48:31,126
gotta take Nesta and Elain, get them the fuck outta here. And she's

755
00:48:31,126 --> 00:48:34,704
sacrificing herself yet again. to save

756
00:48:35,122 --> 00:48:38,268
the man that she loves, the people she loves. Right. And so

757
00:48:38,829 --> 00:48:42,521
somehow she and Rhysand are able to be on the same

758
00:48:42,521 --> 00:48:45,876
page without communicating with one another in that bond. And

759
00:48:45,972 --> 00:48:49,761
Feyre plays a part. One of her

760
00:48:49,809 --> 00:48:53,565
powers is like, she can like shine this bright light or whatever. So she's,

761
00:48:53,838 --> 00:48:57,514
she's completely putting on a show to say like, I am like

762
00:48:57,514 --> 00:49:01,013
under this spell. Like, oh my gosh, I'm out of the spell now. And she—

763
00:49:01,383 --> 00:49:03,448
plays on Tamlin's fucking fiddle strings.

764
00:49:04,626 --> 00:49:08,013
It's like, oh, I have been under this spell, save me.

765
00:49:09,998 --> 00:49:12,062
And Tamlin, the little bitch that he is, he's like, of course,

766
00:49:12,208 --> 00:49:15,756
of course you've been under this spell.

767
00:49:16,208 --> 00:49:18,159
Has nothing to do with me. You love me.

768
00:49:20,031 --> 00:49:23,423
You think I'm great. And— No, you're an asshole.

769
00:49:23,648 --> 00:49:27,329
Yeah. And, um, Rhysand

770
00:49:28,537 --> 00:49:32,313
is noticing what's going on. And, uh, Feyre begs the

771
00:49:32,313 --> 00:49:35,671
king of the Hybern to break their bond to prove,

772
00:49:36,490 --> 00:49:40,263
you know, I love Tamlin, I need to go back with him. And instead

773
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,995
of it being a mating bond, 'cause I don't think the king of Hybern— no.

774
00:49:44,156 --> 00:49:47,032
Yeah. Doesn't the king of Hybern know that they're mates at that point?

775
00:49:48,780 --> 00:49:52,030
Rhysand? Yeah. Yeah. Like everybody kind of gets— well, no, because, uh,

776
00:49:53,076 --> 00:49:56,911
I don't know. Uh, 'cause Rhysand was like staying

777
00:49:56,959 --> 00:50:00,469
so still so that he doesn't waft and like

778
00:50:00,950 --> 00:50:04,764
show everybody that his scent has changed. So

779
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,701
I know that the king, like she's showing the tattoo, break the bond, break the

780
00:50:09,701 --> 00:50:12,810
bond. And Rhysand is now playing the part too. Like,

781
00:50:13,515 --> 00:50:16,416
how did you figure it out, Feyre? How did you figure it out that like

782
00:50:16,416 --> 00:50:19,220
I was mind controlling you this whole time? Don't break the bond. Don't break the

783
00:50:19,220 --> 00:50:23,035
bond. And the king does, he breaks that agreement, that tattoo on their arm,

784
00:50:23,067 --> 00:50:26,804
and it causes them both pain. And so it looks as if. She's been freed

785
00:50:26,821 --> 00:50:30,555
from his control. Yeah. And so at that point,

786
00:50:31,087 --> 00:50:34,902
him, Cassian, Azriel, Mor, all of them winnow out

787
00:50:34,902 --> 00:50:38,283
of the— out of there with the sisters. So they're gone now. They're, they're out

788
00:50:38,283 --> 00:50:42,060
of harm's way. And Lucien takes Feyre back to the Spring

789
00:50:42,093 --> 00:50:45,435
Court. Womp womp.

790
00:50:47,192 --> 00:50:49,965
Fucked up. So fucking fucked up.

791
00:50:51,867 --> 00:50:55,498
I'm like, dude, he's just an asshole, okay? And like,

792
00:50:55,722 --> 00:50:59,498
I, I really want like Rhysand and Feyre to

793
00:50:59,514 --> 00:51:03,193
like be this, be this power

794
00:51:03,193 --> 00:51:06,904
couple. A power couple of people that really love

795
00:51:06,904 --> 00:51:10,647
each other. Yeah, I think they are. I

796
00:51:10,759 --> 00:51:13,539
think they are. But at first you think that,

797
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:18,069
that Hybern has— well, at first I thought that

798
00:51:18,069 --> 00:51:20,484
Hybern had broken the

799
00:51:20,484 --> 00:51:24,269
mating bond. But it

800
00:51:24,269 --> 00:51:27,894
wasn't the mating bond, it was the

801
00:51:28,039 --> 00:51:30,166
agreement on the tattoo.

802
00:51:32,326 --> 00:51:35,823
But what they didn't know is that the night before,

803
00:51:37,420 --> 00:51:40,525
Tamlin— or fucking Rhysand and, uh,

804
00:51:41,173 --> 00:51:44,893
Feyre went to a priestess and she got another

805
00:51:44,893 --> 00:51:48,205
tattoo. On the other hand. Yeah, on her other

806
00:51:48,221 --> 00:51:51,690
hand, and they're like

807
00:51:51,851 --> 00:51:55,095
married in the fae way now or whatever.

808
00:51:55,850 --> 00:51:59,480
And so she's also now the

809
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,580
first High Lady ever. Of the Night Court. Because

810
00:52:02,676 --> 00:52:06,451
Rhysand is like, no, she's my High Lady. And

811
00:52:06,628 --> 00:52:10,145
everybody in the room, Cassian more and

812
00:52:10,707 --> 00:52:14,224
Azriel when they're back in the apartment, Amren goes,

813
00:52:14,578 --> 00:52:18,420
where is she? Yeah. And they're like

814
00:52:20,109 --> 00:52:23,842
all sort of quiet, like, oh fuck, how do

815
00:52:23,842 --> 00:52:26,788
we tell her this, right? And then Amren is like,

816
00:52:27,513 --> 00:52:29,445
where is she?

817
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,787
And then finally they were like— Rhysand tells them all this stuff about, you know,

818
00:52:34,869 --> 00:52:38,534
High Lady and all this other whatever. Fucking

819
00:52:40,342 --> 00:52:43,818
Fucking bonkers. I love it. We find out

820
00:52:43,818 --> 00:52:46,001
that it was the—

821
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,740
um, fuck, my brain just farted so hard.

822
00:52:52,394 --> 00:52:55,907
We find out that the bond that was broken was the agreement. He

823
00:52:56,068 --> 00:52:59,860
also reveals to them, that's not just my mate we're talking about, we're

824
00:52:59,860 --> 00:53:02,752
talking about the High Lady of the Night Court. And that's when they realize that

825
00:53:02,752 --> 00:53:06,143
they've gotten married. And he goes, and now she Is

826
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,189
in the Spring Court. Yeah, and Mor says, my

827
00:53:10,269 --> 00:53:13,449
High Lady is surrounded by her enemies.

828
00:53:14,123 --> 00:53:17,495
Yeah, but she's going to destroy them from the inside out.

829
00:53:18,362 --> 00:53:22,135
Yeah, and that was like Rhysand told Mor, did you

830
00:53:22,135 --> 00:53:25,154
not hear her when she said, I will re—

831
00:53:25,748 --> 00:53:29,232
Everybody thought that she was talking about

832
00:53:29,602 --> 00:53:31,855
Rhysand, but she was Talking about Tamlin.

833
00:53:33,510 --> 00:53:37,012
Oh, so that's the M. Night

834
00:53:37,012 --> 00:53:40,791
Shyamalan ding dong twist. That is

835
00:53:40,807 --> 00:53:44,174
that Feyre not only goes back, but they can

836
00:53:44,206 --> 00:53:48,008
communicate through this bond, and Feyre has promised to destroy the

837
00:53:48,008 --> 00:53:51,453
Spring Court from the inside out. Side note,

838
00:53:52,097 --> 00:53:55,735
Lucien is watching Feyre like, this is a bunch of bullshit, but he don't say

839
00:53:55,735 --> 00:53:59,044
nothing. Nope. Because now his mate is her sister.

840
00:53:59,753 --> 00:54:03,586
Yep. So now the allegiance is a bit different than

841
00:54:03,602 --> 00:54:07,411
what it was before Elayne showed her face. So that's

842
00:54:07,411 --> 00:54:11,180
the cliffhanger of where the next book begins. So I, I

843
00:54:11,277 --> 00:54:13,154
do have a question. What was, uh,

844
00:54:14,756 --> 00:54:18,180
Iyantha or whatever? Iyantha. Yeah, what was her

845
00:54:19,544 --> 00:54:23,320
role? What was her role in all of this I will tell you,

846
00:54:23,336 --> 00:54:26,994
but I don't know if it's in this book, so just forewarned. The only

847
00:54:27,090 --> 00:54:30,428
part that's in this book, the only part that's in this book,

848
00:54:31,118 --> 00:54:34,696
is that she lived in

849
00:54:35,049 --> 00:54:37,584
Hybern for those 50 years.

850
00:54:38,804 --> 00:54:42,639
And during— because for whatever reason, that's where she was,

851
00:54:42,735 --> 00:54:46,008
was Hybern for 50 years. And then she came back when

852
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,699
Amarantha was gone. She came back and started at

853
00:54:51,075 --> 00:54:54,820
the Spring Court and was

854
00:54:54,917 --> 00:54:58,324
like in— that's why Skittles said earlier about she's in

855
00:54:58,324 --> 00:55:01,289
everybody's ear. So

856
00:55:02,804 --> 00:55:06,496
she has been like in Tamlin's ear this

857
00:55:06,593 --> 00:55:07,576
whole time,

858
00:55:09,754 --> 00:55:10,851
manipulating him,

859
00:55:13,287 --> 00:55:16,838
right? Yeah. See, you gotta go to the king. Yeah, you gotta go to the

860
00:55:16,838 --> 00:55:20,686
king. Rhysand's got her under control also. Yep. That's how he

861
00:55:20,686 --> 00:55:24,299
knew. That's how the King of Highburn knew where, um,

862
00:55:24,443 --> 00:55:28,008
Elayne and Nesta lived, because she had been very

863
00:55:28,056 --> 00:55:31,781
open with, you know, Ianthi. That was her friend. She is a scorned woman,

864
00:55:32,086 --> 00:55:34,607
and she goes back with a motherfucking mission.
