ACOTAR: The Library Deep Dive - Bryaxis, Priestesses, & What's Lurking at the Bottom

Join Abby and Ronnie as they descend into the depths of ACOTAR'S House of Wind Library! From the mysterious sentience of the House itself to the terrifying (but cuddly) creature known as Bryaxis - we break it all down for you in this ACOTAR Deep Dive Episode! What exactly IS the House of Wind and why does it have a heartbeat? What's really at the bottom of the Library? And why are Nesta and Emerie so affected by the Library when Gwyn seems totally fine?!? Something's not adding up.
