Ep 32 Is A Court of Frost and Starlight ACTUALLY Important to Read? | BOOK 4 ACOTAR SERIES

Today on the pod, Ashley and Liz discuss A Court of Frost and Starlight, book four in the ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas, and a “sweet little Christmas special” of a novella to some. Is this book skipable? Is it full of Easter eggs and setup for book 5? Our differing opinions may surprise you! 

In our new deep dive episode style we react to our least and most favorite parts, tropes, and characters. Share unpopular and popular reviews and quotes, and include our fan favorite: plot in 5 sentences or less, with Ashley on the triangle for authentic sound effects and just plain old comedic timing. 

This week we’ve got a faves and fails about Halloween, sickness, and the bane of Liz’s existence, the landline. And a smash or pass with morally grey men and a morally squeaky clean dog.
