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!

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!

Plus, Ronnie has a killer theory on why Apollion is so obsessed with Jesiba and her books.

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! 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!

Babes! This week we had the immense pleasure of being guest on STAN, a podcast that observes and examines all things fandom. We sit down with host Allegra to discuss the ACOTAR fandom, romantasy at large, and why these books are for everyone. Show notes: I am the rock against which the surf crashes. Nothing can break me.  Our angelic guests Abby and Ronnie (from @DragonsintheDetailsPod) lead the conversation on Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Thorn’s and Roses (ACOTAR) series. We get into the depth and complexity of fantasy world building, the frustrating societal tendency to denigrate media and literature intended for women, the positive impact of elevating relationships written for the female gaze. Tangents include… ​The unfortunate series of events that led to all the teen stars of game of thrones witnessing me have a panic attack​The ‘clean’ vs ‘dirty’ boy dichotemy ​The underrated ecstasy of organised fun!  You can find more of Dragons in the Details on their website: https://www.dragonsinthedetails.com/ We cannot thank Allegra enough for having us on as guests.

Babes!! We are finally digging into one of our lady of science, (former) queen of the witches, the head of House of Flame and Shadow herself - Hypaxia Enador! Low-key, after recording this episode, we both forgot how great Hypaxia is. Ronnie and Abby sit down to talk Hypaxia’s powers (including her terrible necromancy), her tutors (how old is too old?), and what it means that she seems to have replaced the Under-King. Plus in our full Maasverse section we dive deep on just ~ where ~ those healing abilities of her came from. Buckle up, this week’s episode is a wild ride!

It’s finally time to dig into one of the biggest questions in the Maasverse: What’s going on with Avallen? This week we’re breaking down the misty isle to the North, and we definitely have more questions than answers! We’re chatting about why the mists around Avallen parted for Bryce and Helena, what’s going on with those wards that extend Beneath, and why the Prison and Avallen seem to be identical? Plus we’re diving into Morven, his stag throne (ew!), his powers, and his mysterious sensitivity to Truth Teller. And finally we’re wrapping up with a popular internet theory - is Cormac really dead?

Babes! We are back this week talking about one of our favorite characters in the whole Maasverse - Ruhn Danaan, Crown Prince of the Valbarran Fae! We’re breaking down Ruhn’s numerous (and surprising) powers, where his powers work and where they don’t, why his shadows are so different from Cormac’s (and Azriel’s!), and where him and Lidia actually met. Through it all, we’ll talk about Ruhn’s seemingly numerous ties to night court, and ask ourselves the question everyone wants to know the answer to - Why does Ruhn look just like Rhys? All that (and more) in this week’s episode! 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!

Babes! We are back this week with a very special episode, covering a question that the fandom lovessssss to talk about: Are Hunt and Bryce really mates?! This is a HUGE question with a whole bunch of controversy surrounding it, so we try to treat it with the respect it deserves. We’re getting into, what, exactly when Hunt and Bryce have sex (including that WILD scene in Avallen), the arguments for (and against) them being mates, and the Bryceriel question. This week is slightly different, since we’re not providing our own theories, but discussing popular fan theories as well. Huge shoutout to our listeners Anastasia, Swizzy, and Nina for all of your help in researching this episode!   WE ARE NOW ON PATREON!

Hello lovely listeners! We are back with our final episode of Dragons After Dark on Spotify, and it’s a great one! This week we are very excited to speak with Jennifer Michelle Herrera, author of the upcoming “Siren Says!” We sit down with Jennifer to talk about her (very unique!) journey to getting published, what advice she would give to aspiring authors as a literary agent, Alan Turing (of course), and what inspired her to write “Siren Says.” We absolutely loved having Jennifer on the show and hope you all enjoy listening to the interview as much as we enjoyed recording it! And as a reminder, starting next week this show will be available exclusively on Patreon, so if you want to keep up with all of Abby and Ronnie’s bookish shenanigans, be sure to subscribe there! For less than the price of a movie ticket you will be getting four extra episodes each month. Hope to see you on Patreon! Siren Says synopsis: Twenty-five-year-old Raven Wynn knows that the ancient plant magic running through her veins brings nothing but destruction. It doomed her Welsh ancestors. It killed her mother. It’s the reason she’s now bound by a painful curse—one that will destroy her if she can’t find a way to break its hold. When her estranged Aunt Delilah bursts into her life promising a cure, Raven seizes the chance. However, her freedom comes at a steep price: Once her magic is fully unleashed, she is more powerful (and more dangerous) than anyone thought possible. Desperate to tame powers she never wanted, Raven makes a pact with Delilah: In exchange for learning to control her magic, Raven will capture one of the spirits that roam Delilah’s hometown on May’s Eve. With the help of an enigmatic new friend, Cherry, as well as an infuriatingly handsome stoneworker, Idris, Raven learns that her task is even more perilous than she imagined—one false move and the spirits could trap her soul—forever WE ARE NOW ON PATREON!
