ACOTAR: The Prison Deep Dive | Eighth Court Magic, What is Lanthys, Maasverse Theories, and more!

Hello! If you're reading this, that might mean that you love ACOTAR and the Maasverse, and maybe you like what we do. If you like what would do, would you consider subscribing and leaving a review? If you do, we promise we'll keep bringing you the ACOTAR and Maasverse deep dives you love every week! Until we move on to our next series, at least.

Join Abby and Ronnie as we explore ACOTAR's most mysterious location: The Prison! We're unpacking everything about Prythian's misty island compound—what the Prison actually is, the enigmatic Prison guards and their potential connection to Koschei, and why Nesta said the magic there "felt different" than Night Court magic.

**Maasverse Spoilers from here on out**

In our Maasverse section (spoilers ahead!), we dive deep into all things Dusk Court. We break down what the island was during the time of Silene and the Asteri, puzzle over what Lanthys actually is (Valg? Prince of Hel? Asteri warrior? We're genuinely stumped), explore the connections between the Harp Chamber and Elena's Tomb in Throne of Glass, and trace those "strange symbols" carved into the Prison to other places across the Maasverse.

Finally, in our pre-cog corner, we ask: did Baba Yellowlegs know EXACTLY what she was talking about in Empire of Storms? And could High Lord magic have Starborn origins, too?

Perfect for fans of ACOTAR and the Maasverse—this is an episode you won't want to miss!
