   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! Lees meer

   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!

7. Crescent City: Asteri Deep Dive | What Powers do they ACTUALLY have? (Quite a few, it turns out!)

   28 september 2026 · 1 uur 53 min

   Babes!! We are back this week with a very exciting episode on Crescent City’s cruel parasitic overlords - The Asteri! We’re diving deep on the Asteri’s powers, investigating why we never see them wield the Trove, and finally getting to the bottom of why Hesperus and Vesperus are both called the Evening Star. Plus, in our Maasverse section, we break down the different types of world walking we’ve seen across the Maasverse, question if there’s a drop in Erilea, and ponder who Rigelus might have disguised himself as. So if you’ve ever wondered why the Asteri on Midgard seem so much weaker than the Asteri on Prythian, tune in to this week’s episode to find out! Lees meer

We’re breaking down Jesiba’s powers, exactly what happened when Apollion “touched” her, everything we know about Parthos, and more! Plus, Ronnie has a killer theory on why Apollion is so obsessed with Jesiba and her books.

9. Re-Release: ACOTAR Book 6 Predictions! What did we get Right and Wrong?

   16 september 2026 · 1 uur 53 min

   Afspelen
   Babes! We are giving you not one, but two episodes this week since we miss you all so much! We couldn't decide whether or not to re-release our Koschei Deep Dive or our ACOTAR 6 Predictions episode, so we thought, why not both? So here it is in all it's glory. This episode was recorded before we even knew ACOTAR 6 was being release, before Sarah J. Maas went on Call Her Daddy, before any of it. So if the predictions are a little wacky, that's why! But either way, we hope you enjoy it! Lees meer

   Original Show Notes:

   **DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded BEFORE the Sarah J Maas interview on Call Her Daddy was released. But we still feel good about it. So we’re releasing it!***

   WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN ACOTAR 6?? In the final episode of our ACOTAR season, Abby and Ronnie break down their predictions for book six. From our POV characters (could we get as many as eight?) to the major plot points (looking at you, Koschei) we’re breaking down allllll our thoughts. Will Elain and Azriel ever find love? Will we get a redemption arc for one of our least favorite characters? And how much of the Maasverse will you have to read ahead of time? Find out our thoughts in this episode of Dragons in the Details!

   NOTE ON SPOILERS: We break our episodes into ACOTAR-Only and Maasverse sections, with the Maasverse sections at the end. There will be NO MAASVERSE SPOILERS in the ACOTAR only sections, but we will cover the entirety of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series in the ACOTAR sections. So whether you’ve only been to Prythian or you’ve explored the entire Maasverse, this podcast is for you!

One things for sure - after this episode, we're getting really excited about Koschei being our big bad for books 6-8. Hope you enjoy! Lees meer

    Who is the villain of ACOTAR 6? In this deep dive podcast episode, we explore the Slavic folklore behind Koschei the Deathless to predict Sarah J. Maas's next moves in the ACOTAR series. Discover the mysterious powers of Koschei, the intriguing Onyx Box theory, and the secrets behind the Swan Maidens. Plus, we dive into the Maasverse lore with connections to Throne of Glass and Crescent City, unraveling the nature of the Death Gods.
