Yr grls return to discuss everybody's favorite pandemic baby - A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MAAS!
Feyre thought things couldn't get much worse while she was desperately hunting a mysterious wolf to feed her starving family. She was right! Because things actually get pretty groovy once she's kidnapped by Tamlin the Beast/Fae King of the Spring Court (whatever that means!). But then they do actually get worse when she chases her new love under the mountain and has to face a buncha magical trials.
How can a text subvert the dread Mary-Sue? Can we identify genre fiction by its references? IS this a romance?
Order a third El Presidente Margarita - this one is for the Maasholes and greenhorns alike! Spoilers ahead.￼

Epsidoe 140:  - Do I Make You Thorny, Baby? - A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

This ep, we're staying space together (continuing FanFicUary) for the space kids (you, faithful listeners) by discussing THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS by Ali Hazelwood.
Olive (Stanford University Biology PhD Candidate AU Rey from Star Wars) and Adam (AU Kylo Ren) should not be together - he is tenured faculty in the department she's working on a PhD in. Thank goodness they are not together for real. But as often happens, fake relationships can lead to real consequences. Especially when that consequence is true love and sex at a conference.
Why does the zeitgeist choose fascists? Is the real HEA just being treated as another worthy being? Will "Woodiwissification" be the 2024 word of the year?
This is part 1 of a two-part stand-off between fanfiction, publishing, Isabeau, and the Star Wars franchise. Please don't sue us, Mickey.
Also, we have some technical issues start at approximately the 23 minute mark, thanks for sticking with us.
