On this weeks edition of Weekly Maas, Anna finds that Jeffrey's interest is finally piqued, mostly due to the introduction of the devilish, maniacal, and horrific character of Rhysand. They discuss their local neighborhood romance book club which Anna just joined, whether or not Feyre is safe in the Spring Court, what Tamlin's defenses look like, and more about the local political scene in Prythian. Ever wonder what human servitude in Prythian looked like before the Treaty? So do we, because when confronted with the question from Feyre, Tamlin mostly dodges it. Is Feyre actually in love with Tamlin, and if so, why does she have to lose her autonomy and personality to fall in love? Probably for her character arc, but boy do Anna and Jeffrey find a lot of this to be garbage to slog through. Feyre lets loose, drunk on fairy wine, at the Summer Solstice festivities where Tamlin plays a fiddle solo on his knees in front of her. Real Devil Went Down to Georgia vibes. Rhysand pays a volatile visit to Tamlin, enchanting Feyre to delve through her mind, forcing Tamlin and Lucien to lie prostrate before him, giving us some light and color to this story. Have you wondered where the plot has been hiding since chapter 4? Thankfully, Rhysand is driving that plot train and we're hopping on board! Anna and Jeffrey thoughtfully regard Tamlin and Feyre's lovemaking while pondering about orgasms and chemistry in the real world. Finally, if you were concerned you missed the pizza party opportunity from last episode, don't fear, because a personal pan pizza can still be yours! All this and more on this weeks episode of Weekly Maas.

Anna and Jeffrey continue their literal slog through chapters completely devoid of plot or interest as they read through chapters 20-23 of A Court of Thorns & Roses. Wondering if this will ever get better, they discuss high school superlatives, helping friends move, cooking pizza, waffle fries, and the Giro d'Italia. Realizing that they'd eventually have to get to the story, they also discuss the fire festival, faerie orgies, near rape, and potential sexual assault. They also wonder why the magic system seems to adhere to a heterosexual gender binary as Tamlin, being the source of magic and power, needs to find a female faerie to pair with for an evening rather than a male faerie. Why not both? They both feel exhausted by Feyre's lack of substantial character growth and Tamlin's endless sexual predation. Will this book move beyond this stilted, tired opening series of chapters or will it flounder about in the sexual tension building between Tamlin and Feyre? Who knows? Jeffrey doesn't because he's never read these books before.

The adventure to understand Romantacy continues with Anna and Jeffrey this week. Chapter 16-19 are up for discussion and they are plumb full of bits and morsels of "romantic" moments, backstory, and enchantments. Join Anna and Jeffrey as they delve into interesting questions such as: When is it alright to alter a person's memory? Given enough time, will Feyre ever be able to paint anything realistically enough to satiate her? Will Feyre be cooked in a universe-stew within the Cauldron to restore magic? Why isn't anyone inquisitive enough to ask questions about the world? Is Tamlin right for regurgitating Lucien's background? Why isn't Is age really just a number? If you bring a person to a place where they will knowingly be enchanted and then come onto them, is that problematic or par for the course? Find out this week on Weekly Maas!
