In this spoiler-packed breakdown of chapters 11-13 of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Ariel and Corryn are back to dissect Tamlin’s cursed love language, Lucien’s suspiciously helpful behavior, and Feyre’s slow shift from skeptic to maybe-sorta-softening.

We dig into how Tamlin’s curse-breaking strategy seems to hinge on doing as little as possible and break down the confusing physics behind Tamlin’s ripped shirt post-Bogge hunting (why are his clothes ripped if he killed it while in wolf form?!?!) Also, what’s up with his “you’re not the human I expected” line?

Elsewhere in the Spring Court: Corryn and Ariel confuses The Mountain with Ramiel, Ariel confesses to her spoiler tendencies, and Feyre starts clocking red flags she’ll later ignore (we’ve all been there girl). We also unpack why Lucien helps Feyre figure out how to trap the Suriel, whether Tamlin’s trying to “fix” her to distract himself from his own mess, and how miscommunications abounds.

Whether you’re here for cursed love tropes or just trying to figure out how Tamlin can go from a wolf to a ripped-shirt Fae (seriously what is up with that shirt??): you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
