1.9 Expository Victim Blaming

  • Summary

  • Welcome back to Weekly Maas, your weekly injection of high level discussion of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Who's bringing this content to you? Only Anna and Jeffrey, of course, playing the roles of SJM fan and SJM sceptic respectively. This week, they play with a new opening sequence before devolving into thoughts about Philip K. Dick, Aaron Sorkin, vibraphones, outdoor markets, and the Tour de France. Who needs to talk about ACOTAR when Anna and Jeffrey have so many thoughts about other things?


    But to the book - Anna and Jeffrey had so much to discuss in this episode that they only cover chapter 32. Honestly, they get so much backstory to the world and Feyre's situation that this single chapter deserves its own episode. Alis turns out to be a giant child who victim blames Feyre for not fulfilling the terms of a curse laid on Tamlin and the Spring Court, a curse she knows nothing about and can't really do anything about. Real mature, Alis. It's revealed that Amarantha has controlled Prythian for nigh on 50 years from Under the Mountain. She's a battle hardened commander, a slippery diplomat, and a master at the game of Coup, because she wrapped those High Lords around her fingers and then stripped them of their magic before wresting their lands from them. Feyre, faced with the possibility of going up against this immensely powerful being who has captured Tamlin, begs Alis to show her the way Under the Mountain. Does Feyre have effective weapons or a plan? Nope! But that doesn't stop her. Anna wonders if Jeffrey would do the same for her. Spoiler: probably not.
