We are BACK this week to talk about the FIERCEST dragon on the continent and her stubborn, shadow wielding son - Sgaeyl and Xaden! We’re breaking down what exactly went down with Alic, Xaden, and Molvic; laying out all the possible scenarios for Xaden’s family tree; and pondering what exactly Xaden’s mission is and how Sgaeyl fits into it. Plus - the Baran name reveal, Fen kept Xaden away from aristocrats, and did Kaori have a hand in developing Xaden’s second signet?
As usual, you’ll be getting theories and updates galore in this week’s episode. And after this one, you’ll be getting an episode for each chapter. We are still working out exactly what that will look like, but we think each of these stories deserves their own episode. So hang with us as we uncover every clue, go down every rabbit hole, and spiral together during our Threshing Day Coverage!

Babes!! We are back for our last episode of our Crescent City season! We probably could have kept talking about Crescent City for months, but we’ve got new releases coming out so sadly we must be moving on. We thought, what better way to end this season that with the Starsword and Truth Teller - both of which we have a strong suspicion will make appearances in ACOTAR 6. We’re breaking down their powers, diving deep on who can and can’t wield them, and theorizing on why we’re going to need a Prince of Hel on Prythian. Lot’s of juicy theories this episode - you won’t want to miss it!

NOTE ON SPOILERS: This episode will have spoilers for both ACOTAR and Crescent City. If you have not read every book in both the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City series, beware! We will also have a section at the end for full Maasverse spoilers, including Throne of Glass - but we will include a spoiler warning in the episode for that!
