A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, Tamlin Locks Feyre Up and Mor Busts Her Out, Pt 3

Tamlin finally crosses the fucking line in A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas when he traps Feyre inside the Spring Court manor, triggering a devastating panic response before Mor and Rhysand get her out and bring her to the Night Court. In Part 3, we get into Velaris, Rhysand’s Inner Circle, Feyre choosing her own future, the Bone Carver and Weaver tests, Nesta and Cassian’s sparks, agency versus manipulation, found family, and one extremely slick High Lord.

Spoiler Warning

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

We’re covering the part of A Court of Mist and Fury where Tamlin traps Feyre inside the Spring Court manor, Mor gets her the fuck out, and Feyre starts building a life at the Night Court with Rhysand, Velaris, and his Inner Circle.

We also get the Bone Carver, the Weaver, Feyre’s increasingly terrifying powers, and the beginnings of some very interesting relationship dynamics—so if you are not this far yet, back away before Amren decides you smell edible.

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: Not much actual sex in this chunk, but between angry-sex fantasies, Amren thirst, and one very “slickery” shirtless High Lord, the hosts are doing their part.
  • Tropes: Trauma recovery, found family, enemies to lovers, magical training, hidden city, morally gray love interest, chosen family, mating bond, magical trials, agency versus control
The Confession

Tamlin thinks keeping Feyre safe means keeping her locked away.

Her nervous system has other fucking plans.

When that locked door sends Feyre straight back into the terror of Under the Mountain, Mor gets her out—and suddenly the contrast between control and actual safety becomes impossible to ignore.

At the Night Court, Feyre gets something she has been begging for all along: choices.

Keywords: A Court of Mist and Fury, ACOMAF, ACOTAR, Sarah J. Maas, Feyre Archeron, Rhysand, Tamlin, Morrigan, Mor, Velaris, Night Court, Inner Circle, Cassian, Azriel, Amren, Bone Carver, Weaver, Feyre powers, found family, fantasy romance podcast

The Pour

Cocktail: A Night Court blackberry martini—dark, dramatic, and appropriate for being dramatically rescued by beautiful fae people.

Alternate drink: A cinnamon-roll espresso cocktail in honor of G-Rex nearly choking mid-discussion and the immediate derailment that followed.

Non-alcoholic option: Blackberry lemonade with edible shimmer for full Velaris-at-night energy.

Just the Tip

When does protection become control?

Tamlin keeps insisting he is protecting Feyre while taking away her choices, while Rhys repeatedly puts the decision back in her hands—even when the choice she might make is one he hates.

That does not mean Rhys is manipulation-free, and the hosts absolutely clock that too.

But Feyre is finally learning what it feels like when someone says, "You decide."

What We Get Into
  • Tamlin trapping Feyre inside the manor
  • Feyre’s panic, trauma, and complete breaking point
  • Mor earning MVP status with the rescue
  • Rhys giving Feyre the choice to stay or leave
  • Velaris and the Night Court finally feeling like home
  • Meeting Cassian, Azriel, Amren, and the rest of the Inner Circle
  • Found family versus blood family
  • Rhysand’s manipulation and Feyre demanding the whole truth
  • The deeply creepy Bone Carver
  • The Weaver, the ring, and a cottage full of nightmare fuel
  • Nesta and Cassian bringing immediate hostile chemistry
  • Feyre discovering just how powerful she actually is
Favorite Chaos Moments
  • G-Rex: “Nobody keeps baby in the house. Nobody.”
  • G-Rex: “I've been a bad girl. Please take care of me.”
  • Dirty Skittles: “This leads us to the MVP of the motherfucking book.”
  • Dirty Skittles: “She don't eat food, she eats people.”
  • Nacho: “I've been so, so disrespectful. I need to be course corrected.”
  • Nacho: “Again, giving her a choice, giving her agency over her own body.”
Our First Impressions

G-Rex is still suspicious of Rhysand’s manipulation and spends a good chunk of this section feeling like the Night Court may be using Feyre’s power for a larger endgame. At the same time, she is fully on board with Feyre getting away from Tamlin and connects hard with the importance of found family.

Dirty Skittles sees this as the point where Rhysand starts becoming Feyre’s safe space—not because he makes every decision perfectly, but because he keeps giving Feyre choices and lets her decide whether she wants to stay, fight, train, and become part of his court.

Nacho is deeply tuned into Feyre’s loss of control, trauma response, and the difference between being managed and being given agency. They also clock Rhysand’s manipulation, appreciate Feyre calling him on his shit, and love foreshadowing, terrifying women, and onion layers.

Coming Up Next

Feyre has survived the Bone Carver, escaped the Weaver, started training her powers, and made it very clear that Rhysand better stop leaving out important fucking details.

Next stop: the Summer Court, where they need to find the other half of the Book before Hybern’s plans get a whole lot harder to stop.

00:00:00,817 --> 00:00:04,568
Hey confessors, buckle up, you're about to hear episode 3 of

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,351
our Court of Mist and Fury coverage. Feyre is spending a whole lot

3
00:00:08,367 --> 00:00:12,166
more time with Rhysand, and let's just say the Night Court is

4
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:13,930
starting to feel dangerously like home.

5
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,055
Yes! At the gnarly tree.

6
00:00:45,757 --> 00:00:49,372
That poor girl. And then, like, at some point in

7
00:00:49,485 --> 00:00:53,115
this space when she's back at the Spring Court, this is where, like,

8
00:00:53,131 --> 00:00:56,567
she has the talons or something that are growing, and Lucien sees,

9
00:00:57,234 --> 00:01:00,180
and Lucien's like, Oh,

10
00:01:01,618 --> 00:01:04,996
okay. Yeah, it's shape-shifting.

11
00:01:05,901 --> 00:01:08,966
But still, but still,

12
00:01:10,465 --> 00:01:14,141
he does nothing. All he does is

13
00:01:14,173 --> 00:01:16,852
he asks her, hey, how long has that been a thing? She's like, I don't

14
00:01:16,852 --> 00:01:20,687
know, it just happened. Just right now, about 7 seconds ago. But he does

15
00:01:20,784 --> 00:01:23,979
actually— hold up. Yeah, he, he says, hey, how long has that been happening? She's

16
00:01:23,979 --> 00:01:27,161
like, oh, it just started. And I think that fuels him to say, okay,

17
00:01:27,883 --> 00:01:31,385
I'm gonna try again to approach

18
00:01:31,497 --> 00:01:35,191
Tamlin and get the training that you need. Obviously

19
00:01:35,191 --> 00:01:38,805
it's unsuccessful. I think he goes in and it's Tamlin and

20
00:01:38,805 --> 00:01:42,274
Nianthe in a room, and Lucien goes in, they close the door. Feyre's not allowed

21
00:01:42,274 --> 00:01:44,843
to be a part of that conversation, but she can hear it in the hallway.

22
00:01:44,988 --> 00:01:48,216
There's a lot of conversations in this trip that she's not allowed to be part

23
00:01:48,216 --> 00:01:51,749
of. Yeah. And she literally just doesn't even care. Yeah. She's like,

24
00:01:51,894 --> 00:01:55,614
oh, I guess maybe Tamlin and Iante, something might be there, but

25
00:01:56,063 --> 00:01:59,814
meh, whatever. But when she became a Fade, didn't her hearing

26
00:01:59,990 --> 00:02:03,838
also get super, super strong too? Yeah, like she can hear from

27
00:02:03,838 --> 00:02:07,332
outside in the hallway, but she, like, to your point, Nacho, I

28
00:02:07,445 --> 00:02:11,148
think she gives up. Like, she doesn't care because she's just

29
00:02:11,148 --> 00:02:14,931
been beaten down so much that I saw it as her just like

30
00:02:15,075 --> 00:02:18,883
literally giving up. Yep, fuck it. You know, can't

31
00:02:18,883 --> 00:02:22,569
be in the room, it's fine. Yeah, literally don't care. The, the

32
00:02:22,569 --> 00:02:26,298
feet shuffling, for me, it's just like— it's

33
00:02:26,346 --> 00:02:30,109
the feet shuffling for me is more of an indicator than just

34
00:02:30,513 --> 00:02:33,816
shoulders down and head down or whatever. The feet shuffling,

35
00:02:34,577 --> 00:02:35,755
like, to not even—

36
00:02:40,456 --> 00:02:43,966
not that she didn't care, but she just didn't want to be aware of anything

37
00:02:43,998 --> 00:02:46,437
that was happening to the point that she didn't even want to pick her feet

38
00:02:46,437 --> 00:02:50,226
up off the Mm-hmm. Like, I don't know. The pitter-pattering. When

39
00:02:50,322 --> 00:02:54,073
she comes back that time and the shape-shifting and all that shit, and she hears

40
00:02:54,105 --> 00:02:57,247
that Tamlin is still not agreeing to let Lucien train her,

41
00:02:57,936 --> 00:03:01,303
um, is what leads us to that final straw for Feyre and

42
00:03:01,399 --> 00:03:05,246
Tamlin. And, um, again, you

43
00:03:05,246 --> 00:03:08,404
know, the day starts as any other where Tamlin's gonna go out and fucking, I

44
00:03:08,404 --> 00:03:11,690
don't know, fight beasts or God knows whatever the fuck he's doing out there,

45
00:03:12,219 --> 00:03:15,889
but she wants to go. She's like, I'm coming. Both of them armed up,

46
00:03:15,905 --> 00:03:19,574
ready to rock and roll. And she's like, no, I'm coming. And she's trying to

47
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:22,394
take a very firm stance here. I'm gonna go. I don't care what you say.

48
00:03:22,458 --> 00:03:26,144
I'm gonna go. I'm just gonna go. I'll sit on the— I'll be back

49
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,653
behind, or I'll like, I'll go do

50
00:03:29,989 --> 00:03:33,338
whatever, you know? I'll do literally anything to get out of this fucking house.

51
00:03:33,754 --> 00:03:36,719
He's like, go paint, go for a ride. She's like, no, I'm fucking coming. And

52
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:40,468
I think this is the scene where I have another voice memo running, is

53
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:44,078
that Um, he tells her like, I can protect you from

54
00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:47,081
anything. Like, you don't need to be a part of this. I got you. I

55
00:03:47,081 --> 00:03:50,822
got you. And she's immediately like, no, you don't fucking got me. 'Cause you didn't

56
00:03:50,838 --> 00:03:54,178
have me with Amarantha. You sure shit ain't gonna be able to do it now.

57
00:03:54,884 --> 00:03:57,887
Right. And that's fueling her fight to say, I'm going. And

58
00:03:58,722 --> 00:04:01,933
I think she says, well, I'm gonna come anyways, whether or not you let me.

59
00:04:02,094 --> 00:04:04,695
And he tells her, don't you even dare.

60
00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:09,603
Yep. And then walks out. Yes. Yep. And then Lucien is

61
00:04:09,699 --> 00:04:12,615
like, I'm gonna try to talk to her. And she's just like, no, no, no,

62
00:04:12,631 --> 00:04:15,066
no, no, no, no, I'm— I need to go. I need to get out of

63
00:04:15,066 --> 00:04:18,607
this house. Lucien is not that— like, get me out of this house. And then

64
00:04:18,607 --> 00:04:22,083
we get into like claustrophobia. Yeah, it's intense. And then

65
00:04:22,211 --> 00:04:25,063
Lucien's like, no, but really, no, but really, we're gonna— I'm, I'm gonna talk to

66
00:04:25,063 --> 00:04:28,748
him. And finally she's just like, your talking

67
00:04:28,796 --> 00:04:32,369
is not doing anything. Yeah. She's like,

68
00:04:32,529 --> 00:04:36,117
I'm fucking going. Watch me walk out this door. And she goes to walk and

69
00:04:36,214 --> 00:04:39,996
boom, slams into like a brick wall. She can't get out of the

70
00:04:39,996 --> 00:04:43,652
door. She can't get out of the windows. She's officially trapped in

71
00:04:43,764 --> 00:04:47,452
this house, and she fucking loses it.

72
00:04:47,532 --> 00:04:51,283
Yeah. Like, the trigger of all triggers. She's

73
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,618
back under the mountain. She's a prisoner. She somehow

74
00:04:54,731 --> 00:04:58,498
envelops herself in this black, shadowy mass that nobody else in the

75
00:04:58,498 --> 00:05:02,250
house, like Alice, can even penetrate through, get her. She is

76
00:05:02,346 --> 00:05:06,162
full-on, like, knees to chest, rocking, completely

77
00:05:06,162 --> 00:05:09,865
fucked. Yep. And she is essentially

78
00:05:11,903 --> 00:05:15,026
closing in on herself. It is an

79
00:05:15,382 --> 00:05:19,144
anxiety attack on crack, like the

80
00:05:19,418 --> 00:05:23,033
one of the worst kinds of anxiety attacks, the kind that just

81
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:27,453
leave you shaking. I mean, I've had one. I've had a panic attack like that.

82
00:05:27,582 --> 00:05:30,824
It's horrible. And it fucking pissed me off. Like,

83
00:05:31,195 --> 00:05:35,013
okay, nobody keeps baby in the house. Nobody. Like, no,

84
00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:38,042
it's baby. You fucking asshole. Yeah. But

85
00:05:39,243 --> 00:05:41,984
this leads us to the MVP of the motherfucking book.

86
00:05:43,105 --> 00:05:46,647
She can hear Alice. She can hear another voice. It's a female

87
00:05:46,711 --> 00:05:50,349
voice. And she feels these strong, beautiful, wonderful female

88
00:05:50,381 --> 00:05:54,067
hands come into her ball of fury and pick her up and

89
00:05:54,163 --> 00:05:57,528
take her out of the house. And she hears Alice say to that person, just

90
00:05:57,528 --> 00:06:00,894
get her out of here, keep her safe, or something like that. And all she—

91
00:06:00,974 --> 00:06:04,342
she is not— I don't think she's in her own body to realize who it

92
00:06:04,342 --> 00:06:08,111
is or what's happening, but it's Mor. Yes. Mor went into the house

93
00:06:08,111 --> 00:06:11,927
to get her because Rhysand could hear and feel that she was in

94
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,872
danger. But because of their agreement, Rhysand cannot go in and

95
00:06:15,953 --> 00:06:19,048
take her unless it's their time of the month, which sounds like a

96
00:06:19,096 --> 00:06:22,945
period. He can't go and get her until it's

97
00:06:22,945 --> 00:06:26,654
his time, but he shatters her wards. He's on a

98
00:06:26,654 --> 00:06:30,337
separate land. He sends Mor in— Like in the

99
00:06:30,337 --> 00:06:34,149
Summer Court or something. Yeah, like Switzerland, like some

100
00:06:34,149 --> 00:06:37,792
neutral territory. And Mor brings

101
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:41,806
her to Rhysand. There's a handoff again. Feyre is sort of in her own

102
00:06:41,871 --> 00:06:45,432
body, can't acknowledge what's happening, but she feels Rhysand. And she

103
00:06:45,432 --> 00:06:48,998
feels— there's like a little line there

104
00:06:49,207 --> 00:06:53,034
acknowledging that the shadows comfort her and— are

105
00:06:53,066 --> 00:06:56,641
stroking her and calming her down, and then she feels the cool air. And

106
00:06:56,851 --> 00:07:00,588
oh, and Mor— I love that Mor was like telling her, you're free, you're

107
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:03,810
free, you're safe, you're free, and like just kept talking her through that.

108
00:07:04,775 --> 00:07:08,182
But yeah, Rhysand takes her back to the Night Court and she fucking passes out.

109
00:07:09,291 --> 00:07:12,691
And when she wakes up again, that handsome

110
00:07:12,691 --> 00:07:16,242
motherfucker was just sitting there waiting for her to wake up.

111
00:07:16,823 --> 00:07:20,583
Yes. Hands in his pocket. Hands in his pocket,

112
00:07:21,011 --> 00:07:22,083
picking at some lint.

113
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:26,591
But I love that. I love the way that was written.

114
00:07:29,241 --> 00:07:33,047
And yeah, fuck Tamlin. I mean, think about like any time in

115
00:07:33,047 --> 00:07:36,511
your life where something like that has happened, like how you would wish somebody would

116
00:07:36,607 --> 00:07:40,036
swoop in and take and make, make it all go away.

117
00:07:40,992 --> 00:07:44,294
Make you feel protected. And make you feel protected. Yeah.

118
00:07:47,815 --> 00:07:51,187
Yeah, yeah, it's funny. I didn't, I didn't, uh, think of it as an anxiety

119
00:07:51,203 --> 00:07:53,381
attack, but I think that's why it,

120
00:07:55,004 --> 00:07:56,969
it hit so hard for me because of how,

121
00:07:58,772 --> 00:08:02,347
how that all worked out. Like, I just— yeah. It was PTSD

122
00:08:02,637 --> 00:08:06,375
wrapped in anxiety, which was— which is the worst. And

123
00:08:06,375 --> 00:08:08,630
how that, like,

124
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,763
experience was explained and written

125
00:08:13,813 --> 00:08:17,648
by the author is sometimes how I

126
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:21,253
feel, right? Like that loss of control, that

127
00:08:21,318 --> 00:08:24,881
overwhelming, I don't know, right? So

128
00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:26,320
I super

129
00:08:29,182 --> 00:08:32,771
resonated with that whole experience. I mean,

130
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:35,541
clearly I don't have shadows and wind and fire,

131
00:08:36,562 --> 00:08:39,269
but like those things all

132
00:08:41,537 --> 00:08:45,281
felt or were explained. Like, I

133
00:08:45,313 --> 00:08:48,189
would use those ways to explain how my body feels

134
00:08:49,892 --> 00:08:53,592
when something like that happens. So I was super

135
00:08:53,786 --> 00:08:57,120
like— Yeah. I was crying 'cause

136
00:08:57,573 --> 00:09:01,423
I'm a hot mess express because she was

137
00:09:01,455 --> 00:09:05,159
so— she had finally hit, and we all know how much I love a

138
00:09:05,224 --> 00:09:08,873
roller coaster on a character. But she finally hit the

139
00:09:08,922 --> 00:09:11,441
bottom and she was done and that was it.

140
00:09:14,063 --> 00:09:17,742
And, and then people who actually cared for

141
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:21,483
her picked her up. Yeah.

142
00:09:21,885 --> 00:09:25,676
Yeah. Yeah. I, I loved, I loved, I loved Mor

143
00:09:25,676 --> 00:09:28,809
so much for that because I feel like when you are in that state of

144
00:09:28,809 --> 00:09:31,737
mind, she was saying all of the right things. Like she was

145
00:09:32,398 --> 00:09:35,461
making sure Feyre knew that she was finally free, that she was out, that she

146
00:09:35,461 --> 00:09:39,188
was safe. And then Feyre wakes up at the Night Court

147
00:09:39,188 --> 00:09:42,844
with Rhysand there, had been there by her side just to make sure everything was

148
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:46,180
okay. And I love/hated how

149
00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:50,830
he told her, you know, you're welcome to stay here as long as you

150
00:09:50,878 --> 00:09:53,684
want, but if you want to go back, just say the word and I'll take

151
00:09:53,684 --> 00:09:57,212
you back. Yeah. And I hated that. Like, I think in that moment, I wanted

152
00:09:57,212 --> 00:10:00,708
him to be like, listen, bitch, I'll let you try it your way.

153
00:10:01,076 --> 00:10:04,909
That shit didn't work out. You are not going back. But he didn't. He left

154
00:10:04,909 --> 00:10:08,692
that option open for her. Mm-hmm. Whenever you want to, if you

155
00:10:08,692 --> 00:10:12,459
ever want to, I'll take you back. But if not, don't worry, you can

156
00:10:12,459 --> 00:10:15,986
stay here. Again, giving her a choice, giving her

157
00:10:16,002 --> 00:10:19,834
agency over her own body. I feel like all of that

158
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:23,633
leads us to like the actual story. I feel

159
00:10:23,633 --> 00:10:27,416
like this is when she starts to like look at Rhysand like not a monster.

160
00:10:28,635 --> 00:10:32,376
Yeah. You know, like, he, he is giving her a place

161
00:10:32,376 --> 00:10:35,953
to stay. He's becoming her safety net, I

162
00:10:35,986 --> 00:10:39,540
guess, or her safe space. Um, and

163
00:10:39,701 --> 00:10:43,180
like, right away she's like, hey, yo, like, thank you for that, but, um,

164
00:10:43,261 --> 00:10:46,611
wherever you go, I go. Like, don't, don't trap me here. Just let me come

165
00:10:46,643 --> 00:10:50,024
with you and be a part of whatever's going on. Yeah, because he's like, I

166
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:53,743
gotta go, I gotta go do a thing. And then she's like, uh, but

167
00:10:53,792 --> 00:10:56,516
take me with you. It was like, um,

168
00:10:57,897 --> 00:11:01,702
he's like, should I put down— she's like, no,

169
00:11:01,767 --> 00:11:05,347
but really, I'm gonna go with you. You can't leave me here. Please don't leave

170
00:11:05,347 --> 00:11:09,153
me here. Yeah. And is that when he takes her to

171
00:11:09,153 --> 00:11:12,958
Velaris? I think it happens fast after that. Yeah,

172
00:11:13,392 --> 00:11:17,101
yeah, that's when he— she ends up in Velaris. Here's how

173
00:11:17,101 --> 00:11:20,648
I imagine it. It's this beautiful, quaint city

174
00:11:20,953 --> 00:11:24,205
that has like mom-and-pop shops and like restaurants and

175
00:11:24,237 --> 00:11:28,067
shopping, and there's a whole artist quarter, and

176
00:11:28,147 --> 00:11:31,672
there's happiness and laughter and families and like the

177
00:11:31,672 --> 00:11:35,470
happiest— it's like Disney World. The happiest place on earth is Velaris. And

178
00:11:35,934 --> 00:11:39,780
she finds out that this is the place Rhysand has been keeping safe and

179
00:11:39,844 --> 00:11:43,513
hidden for a very long time, that he has

180
00:11:43,545 --> 00:11:47,038
gone to extreme lengths to make sure nobody knows where it is or that it

181
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:50,830
even exists. any longer to keep everybody in it

182
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:54,678
safe. And she kind of like, I think,

183
00:11:54,726 --> 00:11:58,089
questions like, damn, if you could have done that, if you could do that for

184
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:01,985
this place, why didn't you do it for others as well? And

185
00:12:02,082 --> 00:12:05,056
I think he's just like, yo, I would do it again. Like, this, this was

186
00:12:05,089 --> 00:12:07,514
the reach I had, this was what I could do, and I would do it

187
00:12:07,514 --> 00:12:10,569
again. Because his— right, his inner circle is there.

188
00:12:11,394 --> 00:12:14,255
Yes. And that was like his home.

189
00:12:16,141 --> 00:12:19,363
And the fact that he was able to keep this hidden from

190
00:12:19,525 --> 00:12:22,557
Amaretto for 50 fucking years

191
00:12:23,641 --> 00:12:27,200
was amazing. Yeah, he like wiped it out of everybody's

192
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,890
memory before she took his powers. Like, I wanted to go live

193
00:12:30,922 --> 00:12:34,462
in Polaris. And I feel like that's Rhysand's way of letting

194
00:12:34,641 --> 00:12:38,295
her in as his mate, right? Like, I'm gonna let you

195
00:12:38,311 --> 00:12:41,733
into this really safe place for me because

196
00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:46,500
he's giving her a chance. I think like he's like, okay, if she's gonna be

197
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:49,998
part of my court, I want her to know this stuff. I want to be

198
00:12:49,998 --> 00:12:53,806
able to trust her. Um, he also shares with her like

199
00:12:54,096 --> 00:12:57,662
he's, he's, I guess from the beginning has told her he wants her to

200
00:12:57,662 --> 00:13:01,309
help him. He needs her for help because he knows that

201
00:13:01,309 --> 00:13:03,788
there's a war coming. The King of Hybern is

202
00:13:05,095 --> 00:13:08,632
gearing up to fuck up the human realm and like just all on

203
00:13:08,844 --> 00:13:12,592
war. He wants to be the leader of all. And so Rhysand needs Feyre's

204
00:13:12,592 --> 00:13:15,636
help and prep for when that happens.

205
00:13:17,146 --> 00:13:20,070
And so he gives her a choice again, like, if you want to be a

206
00:13:20,070 --> 00:13:23,851
part of my court, you need to meet my court before you

207
00:13:23,851 --> 00:13:27,643
decide. Let this be part of your decision. Yeah, he

208
00:13:27,643 --> 00:13:30,606
want— he wants her to be 100% sure and certain.

209
00:13:31,265 --> 00:13:35,060
She decides to send the letter to Tamlin to say, hey, yo,

210
00:13:35,383 --> 00:13:39,033
homie, I'm never coming back. Like, fuck off, dude, I'm

211
00:13:39,033 --> 00:13:42,852
not coming back. She meets the rest of Rhysand's court, which

212
00:13:42,964 --> 00:13:46,330
are the other characters in this series. We meet

213
00:13:46,572 --> 00:13:50,319
Azriel, Cassian, we

214
00:13:50,319 --> 00:13:54,141
already knew Mor, and then Amren. They

215
00:13:54,173 --> 00:13:57,988
meet at like a family dinner, and so she gets to see Rhysand be

216
00:13:58,534 --> 00:14:01,409
himself, like guard down. This is his inner circle.

217
00:14:02,244 --> 00:14:05,440
They're exchanging stories of how they all met. That's when we learned that Cassian beat

218
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,022
the shit out of Rhysand for his clothes. But we

219
00:14:09,054 --> 00:14:12,829
also learned that Rhysand's mother was a kind woman who saw that Cassian didn't

220
00:14:12,829 --> 00:14:16,410
really have a warm home and took him and Azriel in

221
00:14:16,667 --> 00:14:20,490
as other kids essentially and took care of them. So they

222
00:14:20,683 --> 00:14:23,863
become like this brother, like these brothers to each other. And

223
00:14:24,794 --> 00:14:28,154
Cassian is like this brute strength Illyrian warrior, and

224
00:14:28,877 --> 00:14:32,495
Azriel is also, um, another brother of Rhysand,

225
00:14:32,511 --> 00:14:35,782
but like mysterious and

226
00:14:37,329 --> 00:14:41,100
quiet and observant. And it was

227
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,660
like his chosen family, because family doesn't have to be blood.

228
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:49,160
It can be the people in our, in our life that can be

229
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,897
family also. Mm-hmm. And Amren

230
00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:56,601
is like this beautiful person,

231
00:14:56,714 --> 00:15:00,562
but also like a creature, maybe? We don't really know what Amren

232
00:15:00,562 --> 00:15:04,406
is. She don't eat food, she eats people. She's a tiny little hot tamale. It's

233
00:15:04,583 --> 00:15:08,233
fine. She, she's another fucking

234
00:15:08,297 --> 00:15:11,837
badass. I would really— this is

235
00:15:11,952 --> 00:15:15,586
not a nice— okay, yeah, so I would really, if I was

236
00:15:17,169 --> 00:15:20,621
I think Amren would be my speed. Like, I would let her do mean things

237
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:24,493
to me and I'd be okay with it. I'd be

238
00:15:24,493 --> 00:15:27,913
like, yes please, may I have another?

239
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:31,704
Another and another. I've been so, so

240
00:15:31,769 --> 00:15:34,597
disrespectful. I need to be course corrected.

241
00:15:35,930 --> 00:15:39,777
I've been a bad girl. Please take care of me. I'm

242
00:15:39,777 --> 00:15:43,314
so naughty. But yeah,

243
00:15:43,379 --> 00:15:47,209
because she's just this tiny little feisty Like,

244
00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:51,721
out of this world. Yeah, like you don't know.

245
00:15:52,524 --> 00:15:56,297
There's layers. There's onion layers. That's what it is. We don't know who or

246
00:15:56,297 --> 00:15:59,846
what she is. We just know she likes like warm lamb's blood or

247
00:15:59,846 --> 00:16:03,410
something. She's got glowing eyes, but she's

248
00:16:03,442 --> 00:16:06,846
fucking sexy. Lamb

249
00:16:06,975 --> 00:16:10,764
blood and sheep's blood, because that's what it is. Sheep's blood is so

250
00:16:10,764 --> 00:16:14,580
much more pure. That's what it is. No, the baby. The baby. Yeah,

251
00:16:14,645 --> 00:16:18,193
the baby sheep, the lambs. The

252
00:16:18,193 --> 00:16:21,001
babies. I love though that

253
00:16:21,743 --> 00:16:25,422
immediately they treat Farrah as like a human being

254
00:16:25,938 --> 00:16:29,564
with choices, with powers, with a story. They want to know who she is, get

255
00:16:29,564 --> 00:16:32,768
to know her. They're asking her questions like, yo, I think Cassian's like, yo, I

256
00:16:32,768 --> 00:16:36,455
heard you fucking made a bone trap for

257
00:16:36,471 --> 00:16:39,323
this fucking worm that was chasing you. Like, what the hell? Like, I mean, they're

258
00:16:39,323 --> 00:16:42,878
immediately Yeah. Kind of joking and teasing and

259
00:16:42,910 --> 00:16:46,365
accepting her into the inner fold. And she is like, whoa,

260
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:49,544
like, there's people that care.

261
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:54,027
And she wants to learn their story as much as they want to

262
00:16:54,075 --> 00:16:57,786
learn hers. And she makes the choice then and there, okay, I'm gonna

263
00:16:57,786 --> 00:16:59,571
fucking do this. I'm gonna be a part of this court.

264
00:17:01,577 --> 00:17:05,202
Teach me all the things. And Rhysand

265
00:17:05,301 --> 00:17:08,507
has quote unquote, like, tests. Like, he has things he needs her to do

266
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:12,216
to begin this road to helping them.

267
00:17:13,613 --> 00:17:17,209
Is this where, like, G says that there's all the manipulation that's happening?

268
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,625
Is this, like, where you feel, like, so much of the manipulation?

269
00:17:22,765 --> 00:17:25,125
I, I did it. I felt that

270
00:17:26,217 --> 00:17:29,605
probably right up until, like,

271
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:33,522
chapter Like

272
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:37,671
maybe 50. And then I saw the other

273
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,318
side of it. I saw all this manipulation,

274
00:17:42,178 --> 00:17:45,567
and I, I knew that they needed her powers for the greater good,

275
00:17:47,507 --> 00:17:50,685
but I felt like they were using her for that.

276
00:17:51,561 --> 00:17:53,264
Yeah. And, you know,

277
00:17:55,469 --> 00:17:58,547
and then in an edgy kind of way, you You know what I mean? Uh,

278
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:00,707
like, I felt like, um,

279
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:05,659
Rosanne and more maybe Cassian

280
00:18:05,772 --> 00:18:09,605
also, that they, they knew how powerful

281
00:18:09,654 --> 00:18:13,319
she was and that there's this endgame,

282
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,272
right? Like, where we got this whole endgame towards the end of

283
00:18:17,272 --> 00:18:21,032
the book, but they needed

284
00:18:21,064 --> 00:18:24,694
her powers in order to see that

285
00:18:24,806 --> 00:18:28,348
endgame come to fruition, but you don't see that right in the

286
00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:31,939
beginning. You see that more towards the end of the book. Did

287
00:18:32,036 --> 00:18:35,746
that answer your question? Yeah. No, I feel like that he

288
00:18:35,746 --> 00:18:38,607
does manipulate her. And I feel like when she calls him out on it, that

289
00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:41,095
he's just like, yeah,

290
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:46,467
I needed you to do these things.

291
00:18:48,410 --> 00:18:51,262
And in order to get you to do these things, I told you what you

292
00:18:51,262 --> 00:18:54,875
needed to know so that you could get through them. The, the tip, quote

293
00:18:54,923 --> 00:18:58,604
unquote. Yeah, dude, like, just get through the things. And then

294
00:18:58,636 --> 00:19:01,979
she's like, oh yeah, no, fuck you, I'm not interested in

295
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:05,747
that. You tell me everything. And he's like, fine. And yet he still

296
00:19:05,747 --> 00:19:07,118
does it like 1 or 2 more times.

297
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:12,752
Yeah, the, the very first, I guess,

298
00:19:12,849 --> 00:19:16,503
like, he— they share with her that,

299
00:19:16,552 --> 00:19:19,986
like, um, do you remember Amaretto would wear the ring with the eyeball? And it

300
00:19:19,986 --> 00:19:23,513
belongs to this guy. I can't remember what the— Durian. Durian, yes. And so,

301
00:19:25,309 --> 00:19:29,014
uh, Rhysand says, hey, we never found Durian's ring. Turns out that eyeball is

302
00:19:29,047 --> 00:19:32,296
missing somewhere. We believe the King of Hybern has it. We don't know why

303
00:19:33,169 --> 00:19:36,450
he has it. He also has like a necklace of this guy's finger or something,

304
00:19:36,644 --> 00:19:40,234
right? So they're like, he's got these 2 parts for this dead guy.

305
00:19:41,236 --> 00:19:43,807
Um, we need to figure it out. We're going to the Bone Carver,

306
00:19:44,631 --> 00:19:48,379
and he wants Feyre to go because Feyre

307
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:52,018
is going to give— well, Rhysand grabbed the

308
00:19:52,034 --> 00:19:55,560
bone that delivered the killing shot from

309
00:19:55,592 --> 00:19:58,474
the pit that she built in book 1.

310
00:19:59,397 --> 00:20:02,797
So he wants to bring Feyre, kind of to your point of

311
00:20:02,797 --> 00:20:06,126
manipulation and shit, because Feyre is unique,

312
00:20:06,368 --> 00:20:10,085
something the Bone Carver has never seen, and has this bone, right? So

313
00:20:10,085 --> 00:20:13,645
they go there to deliver the goods and ask questions. They want— and

314
00:20:14,094 --> 00:20:17,349
the Bone Carver won't talk to them anymore. So they get there and it was

315
00:20:17,445 --> 00:20:20,764
hella fucking creepy. The Bone Carver is a creepy

316
00:20:20,829 --> 00:20:24,404
motherfucker who can appear differently

317
00:20:24,517 --> 00:20:28,285
to different people. And to Feyre, the

318
00:20:28,285 --> 00:20:32,101
Bone Carver appears as a little boy that Feyre seems to

319
00:20:32,438 --> 00:20:35,885
find familiar, doesn't quite know where. This fucked me up in the—

320
00:20:37,008 --> 00:20:40,407
later fucked me up so hard. Give me the foreshadowing, Nacho.

321
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:44,316
Oh, foreshadowing! Yeah.

322
00:20:45,832 --> 00:20:49,578
Fucked me up so hard. And I think to Rhysand it appeared as

323
00:20:49,707 --> 00:20:53,550
Durian or something like that, some other character. I think so, yeah. And in

324
00:20:53,663 --> 00:20:56,569
the interaction with the Bone Carver, because obviously they're there with an end goal to

325
00:20:56,569 --> 00:20:59,781
figure out why does this king have these 2 things, what is his plan, what

326
00:20:59,781 --> 00:21:03,559
is he gonna do, it is revealed then something

327
00:21:03,591 --> 00:21:07,251
that you brought up earlier, Nacho, which, um, The Bone Carver is

328
00:21:07,428 --> 00:21:09,719
asking her, hey, what did it feel like to die? Where did you go? What

329
00:21:09,719 --> 00:21:12,860
did you see? What'd you do? Right. Yeah. No, I think it's—

330
00:21:13,437 --> 00:21:16,754
yes, great. Yes. And so she

331
00:21:17,123 --> 00:21:19,991
is describing what it felt like to die. I heard my neck snap. I knew

332
00:21:20,087 --> 00:21:22,972
I was dying. I was falling into this black pit, whatever, whatever. He's like, what'd

333
00:21:22,972 --> 00:21:26,497
you see? Nothing. It was darkness. It was black. There was nobody there. Then she

334
00:21:26,497 --> 00:21:30,295
goes, but I felt a tug. There was a thread. I knew home

335
00:21:30,439 --> 00:21:34,160
was on the other side of that. And so that kind of kept her,

336
00:21:34,593 --> 00:21:38,443
I guess, from passing fully, right? So we

337
00:21:38,524 --> 00:21:42,166
get to hear that part. Rhysand looks incredibly troubled to hear Feyre

338
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:45,968
sharing this information, but nonetheless,

339
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:49,530
they get what they need from the Bone Carver and they

340
00:21:49,690 --> 00:21:52,161
leave. The Weaver—

341
00:21:53,316 --> 00:21:56,685
side note, one of my favorite horror movies when I was a little kid was,

342
00:21:56,830 --> 00:22:00,410
um, Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Leatherface.

343
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:04,456
So when I read The Weaver, that's what

344
00:22:04,456 --> 00:22:07,154
I imagined. So The Weaver is this lovely lady

345
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:11,891
who is in the woods. She's a fucking creepy bitch,

346
00:22:11,923 --> 00:22:14,428
man. You know what? It was like Hansel and Gretel.

347
00:22:15,215 --> 00:22:18,410
Yeah, for me it was like a cross of Hansel and Gretel and

348
00:22:18,410 --> 00:22:22,184
Rumpelstiltskin. Thank you. Okay, okay.

349
00:22:22,585 --> 00:22:26,102
I went full Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She's like weaving

350
00:22:26,439 --> 00:22:30,212
shit with like human hair. And

351
00:22:30,212 --> 00:22:33,374
her house is made out of bone and flesh. Yeah.

352
00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:37,211
Gross. And she's singing some creepy-ass song the whole time that she's

353
00:22:37,211 --> 00:22:40,855
sitting there, like, weaving, like, with her foot. And, like, the Audible

354
00:22:40,903 --> 00:22:44,740
version of this, the graphic audio, phenomenal, phenomenal.

355
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:48,512
You hear, like, the spinning of the wheel and, like, it is— it's so

356
00:22:48,512 --> 00:22:51,659
fucking good. So, yeah,

357
00:22:52,526 --> 00:22:56,043
Rhysand takes Feyre to a character called the Weaver. Because

358
00:22:56,397 --> 00:22:58,942
he needs to test if Feyre can

359
00:23:00,118 --> 00:23:03,918
sense magical objects and find them

360
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:07,468
based on what she's sensing. And the object that she is searching for

361
00:23:08,491 --> 00:23:12,249
is Rhysand's mother's ring. Now,

362
00:23:12,281 --> 00:23:15,803
Rhysand's mother gave the Weaver the ring to keep

363
00:23:15,852 --> 00:23:19,468
safe, and— So he doesn't waste it.

364
00:23:19,584 --> 00:23:23,096
So he doesn't waste it. Uh, we later

365
00:23:23,096 --> 00:23:26,694
find out that that ring, it would

366
00:23:26,694 --> 00:23:30,309
only ever be found by a suitable mate for

367
00:23:30,309 --> 00:23:34,139
Rhysand. The mate would have to go through this and find the ring. So, but

368
00:23:34,139 --> 00:23:37,779
she doesn't know that at the time, but everybody else

369
00:23:37,908 --> 00:23:41,282
literally does. Because once she makes it up that chimney

370
00:23:41,718 --> 00:23:45,311
with the hair and the grease, that was like disgusting. And I was like—

371
00:23:45,536 --> 00:23:49,368
I have— I was like, this bitch

372
00:23:49,545 --> 00:23:51,075
gonna take me on this roller coaster of a ride right now. This is messy.

373
00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:58,366
Rhysand delivers Feyre to the weaver because he can't go inside because the

374
00:23:58,366 --> 00:24:02,085
weaver knows him. So he's like, Feyre, weaver doesn't know you. You got to

375
00:24:02,133 --> 00:24:05,082
go in there and find this fucking object. Feyre goes in

376
00:24:05,772 --> 00:24:09,619
sneaking around, trying to be quiet because the weaver's blind or something. I

377
00:24:09,683 --> 00:24:13,049
don't know. Oh, yeah, super blind. Don't make a noise. She needs to be incredibly

378
00:24:13,114 --> 00:24:16,432
quiet. She finds the object, turns out it's a ring. She puts it in her

379
00:24:16,496 --> 00:24:19,734
pocket and now she's trying to leave and she notices the weaver has stopped spinning.

380
00:24:20,364 --> 00:24:23,642
singing. She's like, fuck it, I gotta book it for this door. Goes to run

381
00:24:23,642 --> 00:24:27,001
for the door, the weaver's like, nah, you're not going anywhere. Who's in my

382
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:30,813
house? Yes. So Feyre

383
00:24:30,813 --> 00:24:34,191
sees one option to get out of this house. I gotta go through this hair

384
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,586
roof. And Feyre like lights

385
00:24:38,197 --> 00:24:41,951
the weaver's house on fire. Yes. Climbs her way

386
00:24:41,951 --> 00:24:44,538
out of this flesh and hair and bone cottage.

387
00:24:45,738 --> 00:24:48,869
And then goes meets up with Rosanne, who's just like chilling, lounging on a tree.

388
00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:52,851
He's like, hey, how's it going? In the meantime,

389
00:24:52,899 --> 00:24:56,528
she's got like fucking, fucking cooked flesh

390
00:24:56,737 --> 00:25:00,076
in her hands. Cooked flesh. She does like super nimble fey shit though.

391
00:25:00,510 --> 00:25:04,283
She gets off and she's like dancing to like walking to the end of

392
00:25:04,283 --> 00:25:07,495
one branch and jumping onto another branch. She's like really like

393
00:25:07,992 --> 00:25:11,821
fully embracing like her fey like Magical spot. Finally,

394
00:25:11,837 --> 00:25:14,331
Sam, where the fuck is he? It's like the first time that she like spreads

395
00:25:14,331 --> 00:25:18,080
her wings a little bit. Yeah, but what I, I love too is like when

396
00:25:18,112 --> 00:25:20,459
she got stuck in the chimney.

397
00:25:22,946 --> 00:25:26,587
Oh, I was drinking when you were bringing that up. Finish that, finish that thought.

398
00:25:26,636 --> 00:25:30,389
Why do you love it so much? She— because like she let her power come

399
00:25:30,438 --> 00:25:34,225
out. Like she like battled her way out of this really

400
00:25:34,486 --> 00:25:38,196
tight spot and she, she didn't Now she realizes

401
00:25:38,261 --> 00:25:41,547
like how strong she is. Like she like busted this

402
00:25:41,547 --> 00:25:45,284
motherfucker up. Even though she was like covered

403
00:25:45,493 --> 00:25:49,154
in fucking grease and red hair.

404
00:25:49,283 --> 00:25:52,284
And the hair. So much for me. I was

405
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:56,074
like— Can I tell you my

406
00:25:56,074 --> 00:25:59,897
favorite line that also made me gag immediately, but I fucking— I

407
00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:03,753
appreciated the shit out of it. So they winnow back And

408
00:26:03,753 --> 00:26:07,507
Cassian, Amren, they're all waiting to see like, oh my God, what happened, right?

409
00:26:08,469 --> 00:26:11,148
And Feyre gets there and the first words out of—

410
00:26:12,399 --> 00:26:15,720
out of Amren's mouth says, Feyre, you smell like barbecue.

411
00:26:16,570 --> 00:26:19,586
Yes. Can I

412
00:26:20,116 --> 00:26:23,950
lick you? Do you have any

413
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:27,575
sauce to go with that? I was like, I fucking love how

414
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,629
gross that is, dude. That shit was

415
00:26:29,870 --> 00:26:33,203
Doesn't she like completely start throwing up

416
00:26:33,251 --> 00:26:35,975
realizing like what she's covered in? Like

417
00:26:36,071 --> 00:26:39,741
Feyre's like, she's also

418
00:26:39,741 --> 00:26:42,945
pissed because I don't think up until this point they knew that she got the

419
00:26:42,945 --> 00:26:45,381
ring. She like slams the ring down like, why the fuck did you have me

420
00:26:45,445 --> 00:26:49,051
going there for this shit? And then Cassian's like, oh fuck, she

421
00:26:49,051 --> 00:26:52,816
found it. She's on fire.

422
00:26:53,634 --> 00:26:57,282
I don't even think they realized what they— what she was going in

423
00:26:57,379 --> 00:27:00,874
there for or what the purpose of the, the

424
00:27:00,938 --> 00:27:04,757
trip was until she opened it, or

425
00:27:04,757 --> 00:27:08,393
he opened it, and it was the ring from the mom. And they were—

426
00:27:08,555 --> 00:27:12,351
it seemed to me like they were all just like, oh, you had

427
00:27:12,351 --> 00:27:16,126
her do that? And now, oh, double

428
00:27:16,368 --> 00:27:20,015
oh. Like, they're putting things together. Like, they already know

429
00:27:20,015 --> 00:27:23,849
that they're mates. because of how

430
00:27:23,962 --> 00:27:27,686
Rhysand came back from— was it Calanmai

431
00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:31,346
or something like that? No, from Under the Mountain. Under the

432
00:27:31,346 --> 00:27:34,493
Mountain. As soon as he came back, remember, he was freed and he—

433
00:27:35,215 --> 00:27:38,233
Under the Mountain is when he realizes, oh shit, this is my mate. He goes

434
00:27:38,265 --> 00:27:42,038
back to the Night Court. And as he arrives there, he

435
00:27:42,038 --> 00:27:45,858
says, she's my mate. That's the first words he says. And then they're

436
00:27:45,890 --> 00:27:49,342
like, oh shit. Oh yeah, okay. I do think you're right though. Like, I think

437
00:27:49,342 --> 00:27:52,702
everybody starts to put double it together. Like, oh, it was the ring. Oh, the

438
00:27:52,702 --> 00:27:56,050
ring means this. Oh shit, that's his mate. You know what I mean? Like, they're

439
00:27:56,196 --> 00:27:59,535
all like, but nobody's saying it to her. Um,

440
00:28:00,003 --> 00:28:03,782
but now Rhys knows that she can sniff out magical objects, and

441
00:28:03,814 --> 00:28:06,769
that was what he needed to know from the High Fae, from the High Lords.

442
00:28:07,276 --> 00:28:11,122
Yeah. Um, I think shortly after that is when

443
00:28:11,558 --> 00:28:15,039
he— the subject of Ianthe comes up again, and he

444
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,851
shares the memory he has of Ianthe with Feyre because she's like, why don't you

445
00:28:18,883 --> 00:28:21,577
like this chick. Like, you fucking hate her. Like, what's going on? Because she's a

446
00:28:21,641 --> 00:28:25,257
psycho fucking bitch. That's why. Yeah. And he

447
00:28:25,257 --> 00:28:28,695
shares with her this really disturbing memory of how Ianthe

448
00:28:28,791 --> 00:28:32,455
basically was trying to fuck Rhysand for his

449
00:28:32,551 --> 00:28:35,749
power. She showed up naked in her— in his bed.

450
00:28:36,424 --> 00:28:39,846
Mm-hmm. This was even before Under the Mountain too.

451
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:43,975
Yep. He, uh, shows her the memory. She's trying to fuck

452
00:28:43,975 --> 00:28:47,633
Rhysand. He's like, no, no, no. Um, she, I think, touches him

453
00:28:48,851 --> 00:28:51,993
and— or reaches to touch him or something like that, and he

454
00:28:52,554 --> 00:28:56,208
destroys her hand with magic and like breaks her hand. After she gets off the

455
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,054
bed and she tries to be like, oh, but you really want to do this,

456
00:29:00,311 --> 00:29:04,109
and he's like, no, bitch, I really don't. Don't touch me. Yeah, don't touch

457
00:29:04,173 --> 00:29:07,924
me, don't touch another male of my court. Like breaks her hand with magic. Brutalizes

458
00:29:07,924 --> 00:29:11,466
her hand, yeah. Which is foreshadowing for book

459
00:29:11,482 --> 00:29:14,479
3. Foreshadowing!

460
00:29:16,447 --> 00:29:19,597
After that, they take a trip to Feyre's

461
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:20,815
family's home.

462
00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:27,005
So fucking wild. Their goal

463
00:29:27,439 --> 00:29:31,247
is to convince Nesta and, um,

464
00:29:32,178 --> 00:29:35,697
Elain that— to let them

465
00:29:35,729 --> 00:29:38,703
basically use their house for a neutral meeting spot. So

466
00:29:39,124 --> 00:29:41,804
Rhysand wants to meet with the

467
00:29:42,445 --> 00:29:45,890
queens. So during, uh, Farrah's stay with

468
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:49,543
Rhysand, he lets her know that war is coming

469
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,062
and that, uh, that there's this

470
00:29:54,062 --> 00:29:56,770
cauldron in Hybern,

471
00:29:57,891 --> 00:30:01,208
and that there's this book of secrets, a book of

472
00:30:01,272 --> 00:30:04,942
magic, right? But the book is split in 2, so

473
00:30:05,583 --> 00:30:09,322
one half of the book is in Immortal Land. The other

474
00:30:09,418 --> 00:30:13,076
half of the book is in Mortal Land. Summer Court.

475
00:30:13,141 --> 00:30:15,284
Summer Court. So one in Summer Court and one

476
00:30:17,488 --> 00:30:21,071
in the human world. But it's in

477
00:30:21,167 --> 00:30:24,461
this, like, castle or estate

478
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,713
with these high queens, but it's, it's got all these

479
00:30:29,149 --> 00:30:32,710
spells around it so they can't get into this. So what they want to

480
00:30:32,775 --> 00:30:36,062
do is use Feyre's father's

481
00:30:36,803 --> 00:30:40,394
estate now to be like their headquarters so that they can

482
00:30:41,457 --> 00:30:45,301
liaison between these, these queens and everything

483
00:30:45,317 --> 00:30:48,788
else. I like that during this scene we kind of see some sparks fly between

484
00:30:48,788 --> 00:30:52,189
Nesta and Cassian. You know, there's that thin line.

485
00:30:52,274 --> 00:30:53,192
5 books later.

486
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:59,817
Um, but he— I love that he gave her shit. Oh, like,

487
00:30:59,897 --> 00:31:02,756
I loved it. You let her go out there and hunt. Like, fuck yes, Cassian,

488
00:31:02,948 --> 00:31:05,967
give Nesta some shit. Um, I

489
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,773
love that we kind of see a little bit of a spark between Elain

490
00:31:10,030 --> 00:31:13,451
and Azriel. Yes. I thought that was pretty interesting.

491
00:31:14,029 --> 00:31:17,819
I kind of wish that Cassian and Nesta had gone out to the

492
00:31:17,819 --> 00:31:20,774
backyard, fought it out, and, and just fight it out.

493
00:31:21,030 --> 00:31:24,644
Me too. Like, like angry sex.

494
00:31:24,724 --> 00:31:26,571
That would have been fucking fantastic.

495
00:31:27,036 --> 00:31:30,582
Mm-hmm. During this time, I

496
00:31:30,582 --> 00:31:34,079
think Rhys and Feyre are still training, and he takes her out into the woods

497
00:31:35,379 --> 00:31:38,988
and he uses her as bait to

498
00:31:38,988 --> 00:31:42,742
trap the adder. Oh yeah. And during this scene is

499
00:31:42,823 --> 00:31:46,031
when we get to see— obviously Rhysand shows up fucking

500
00:31:46,384 --> 00:31:49,785
immediately, you know, renders this adder helpless,

501
00:31:50,555 --> 00:31:54,228
but it's the first time we see Feyre get pissed with

502
00:31:54,244 --> 00:31:57,496
Rhysand and she's like, oh yeah, you're gonna fucking use me as bait, bitch.

503
00:31:58,265 --> 00:32:01,999
And she winnows. I guess she likes that about Rhysand. Yeah. And he

504
00:32:01,999 --> 00:32:05,604
keeps like, she's going after him and he's dodging her left and right and he's

505
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:09,145
loving it. You know, he's like, come at me. And she starts to winnow.

506
00:32:09,466 --> 00:32:13,151
And finally, and winnowing is like, you know, moving from one space to the next

507
00:32:13,151 --> 00:32:16,917
within like a second. And she's chasing him and that's how she's able to

508
00:32:16,917 --> 00:32:20,749
catch him and like pin him down. And he's like, okay, okay, okay. But

509
00:32:20,766 --> 00:32:23,608
that's, I think, to your earlier point, Nacho, where she's like, if you're gonna do

510
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:26,692
this, just tell me. Let me be a part of that decision. Don't,

511
00:32:27,387 --> 00:32:30,181
don't do it without me knowing. Right. So he's like, okay.

512
00:32:31,749 --> 00:32:35,370
After that, he shares with her the vision of what they do to the Adder,

513
00:32:35,386 --> 00:32:39,041
because I think she asks, like, what the fuck happened? So

514
00:32:39,041 --> 00:32:42,728
he is able to let her see the memories through his eyes

515
00:32:43,084 --> 00:32:46,610
and hear his thoughts during that time too. All of it is basically to say

516
00:32:46,610 --> 00:32:50,432
they're getting closer with one another and Are you eating carrot cake? I was hungry.

517
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,184
I'm having some cinnamon roll. It's huge. Listen, I'll go— I'll

518
00:32:54,184 --> 00:32:57,390
turn my, my video off. No, no,

519
00:32:58,577 --> 00:33:02,345
hell no. I want to watch it fumbling down your chest. It's

520
00:33:02,345 --> 00:33:06,032
probably about 5 inches wide. She needs a heim lick. She's

521
00:33:06,032 --> 00:33:09,415
fine, she's fine. Nobody's getting a heiny lick today. A heiny lick?

522
00:33:10,217 --> 00:33:13,552
Hey, unless you're Tamlin.

523
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,999
Hey, once for Tamlin, twice for Rhysand.

524
00:33:18,122 --> 00:33:21,488
Are you good?

525
00:33:22,006 --> 00:33:23,269
Give us a thumbs up if you can breathe.

526
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,683
All right, speaking of cinnamon rolls, bring us back in, bring

527
00:33:30,731 --> 00:33:34,523
us back in. Uh, so yeah, after they do

528
00:33:34,523 --> 00:33:38,317
the adder thing, he shares his memories. They're getting closer, he's trusting her more.

529
00:33:38,864 --> 00:33:42,243
They return to Valaris, and that was— that I think is the first

530
00:33:42,243 --> 00:33:43,771
time they kind of start to

531
00:33:46,572 --> 00:33:50,407
They all, as a team, go out to dinner. Half the team breaks off and

532
00:33:50,407 --> 00:33:53,711
like goes dancing at a bar and shit. And then it basically leaves Feyre and

533
00:33:53,808 --> 00:33:57,436
Rhysand. And they start walking at night, and Velaris,

534
00:33:57,630 --> 00:34:00,669
and talking, and essentially showing

535
00:34:00,847 --> 00:34:04,647
vulnerability with one another. And I think that's when the

536
00:34:04,647 --> 00:34:08,350
feelings kind of are like full on in hyper gear.

537
00:34:08,933 --> 00:34:12,714
After that is when she's like, She goes and starts training

538
00:34:12,730 --> 00:34:16,547
with Cassian. It's one of my favorite scenes, I think, with Cassian in

539
00:34:16,595 --> 00:34:20,284
this book, is he's holding— like, this is how I envision it— he's holding a

540
00:34:20,284 --> 00:34:24,006
punching bag and Feyre is just like fucking wailing on this punching bag. And in

541
00:34:24,118 --> 00:34:27,599
that, she's releasing like these emotions and these feelings of like

542
00:34:29,010 --> 00:34:32,507
what she thinks of herself in hurting those faeries under the

543
00:34:32,507 --> 00:34:35,570
mountain. And like, she's like finally confronting

544
00:34:36,404 --> 00:34:39,147
these thoughts and these emotions that she's been ignoring this whole time. Yeah.

545
00:34:40,318 --> 00:34:43,894
And it's with Cassian, and her fists start to turn into

546
00:34:43,942 --> 00:34:47,775
fire, and she's just punching through this bag. And when she

547
00:34:47,791 --> 00:34:51,608
finally breaks and is crying and sobbing,

548
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,585
Cassian's there saying, it's okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, you

549
00:34:55,585 --> 00:34:59,337
haven't hurt me yet. Yeah, like, he's just there for her. Like, he's like,

550
00:34:59,401 --> 00:35:02,753
I'm here, girl. Like, you need me, keep going, keep punching. And

551
00:35:02,769 --> 00:35:06,537
Rhysand is somewhere else on the field training, but I think can feel through that

552
00:35:06,537 --> 00:35:10,079
bond like, oh shit, like something's going on. And he's right there by her

553
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:13,556
side and he covers her with his wings and lets her just cry

554
00:35:13,989 --> 00:35:17,579
it out. And he's also naked from the belly button up and

555
00:35:17,691 --> 00:35:20,784
so slickery. Slickery.

556
00:35:21,457 --> 00:35:24,390
I like it when we're slickery. Yummy.

557
00:35:25,367 --> 00:35:29,149
After that is the other trial. They decide they need to go to the

558
00:35:29,149 --> 00:35:32,851
summer court because that is where the other half of the book is rumored to

559
00:35:32,851 --> 00:35:33,076
be.
