Ep.19—A Court of Silver Flames, Part 1: We're Back in Prythian, Baby!

We're back in Prythian, baby! Join us this week to discuss one of our most anticipated (and long awaited) reads of the year, A Court of Silver Flames. Nesta and Cassian undergo a lot together in this first half of the novel–there's love, healing, training, and… a lot of smexy times. And by "a lot" we mean "A LOT"! Also, old and beloved characters make an appearance and Rhysand has a newfound career as an Uber driver.....Wait, what? Also discussed in this episode of Romancing the Monsters: the effects of past traumas and the difficulties of overcoming certain mental health conditions such as phobias, depression and PTSD, complicated and messy familial relationships, the constant battle to be a better person, and the suffocating belief of being unworthy or a complete failure. Part one of our two part discussion will have spoilers for all the books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, so BEWARE! Trigger warnings: mentions of death, mental health conditions, difficult familial bonds, life-threatening complications during pregnancy, death during childbirth, torture, abuse, alcoholism and self harm.

This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love. After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.
