This week Melissa and Ellie are back to cover chapters 43 through 49 of House of Flame and Shadow, and things are moving — mostly in the wrong direction. Lidia meets her sons (one of them is fine about it, the other is NOT), the Ocean Queen picks a side after insisting she never picks a side, and we finally get some answers about what was in the Autumn King's personal notebook — kind of. Bryce and the gang split into Team Archives and Team Caves, Tharion completely ignores a direct order and jumps ship anyway because of course he does, and within five literal minutes of arriving in Avallen, someone is married. Oh, and Hypaxia — allegedly one of the greatest necromancers alive — is now 0 for 2. Sigrid is back, but she is not Sigrid anymore, and now they need a Thunderbird, which, sure, fine, okay. As always, we are reading for vibes and getting it wrong in real time — come get it wrong with us.

Things are escalating and nobody is coping gracefully — Melissa and Ellie break down chapters 36 through 42 of House of Flame and Shadow, where the pressure on basically every character hits a new high and SJM reminds us she has zero chill. The gang reacts accordingly. Theories are floated, feelings are had, and at least one of our hosts may or may not spiral a little. Strap in.

Surprise, besties — Ellie's on maternity leave (baby's here, everyone's safe, screaming and crying we love her), so Melissa's husband Zeke is filling in, and yes, he has not read a single word of Crescent City. We dragged him through House of Flame and Shadow Chapters 29–35 anyway: Bryce gets shackled by her absolute trash bag of a father, the Autumn King helps himself to Truth-Teller (rude), Ithan goes necromancer-shopping to un-kill Sigrid (we have Thoughts on resurrection cheapening a death, thank you), Jesiba Roga continues to live in Melissa's head as Joe Rogan for reasons no one can explain, Lidia FINALLY reveals herself by dunking on The Hawk in an elevator — RIP the coolest name with the least impactful death — and then casually saves the entire gang before nuzzling Ruhn goodbye and yeeting herself off a cliff (with a bullet, just for fun). If your boyfriend/husband/situationship has ever side-eyed your SJM obsession, this is the episode to put on in the car — Zeke is the everyman ambassador and he's doing his best. Spoilers through HoFaS Ch. 35, plus ACOTAR and Throne of Glass at large, so reader beware. New chapters every week, Patreon afterparty as always, and somebody please bully Zeke into starting Red Rising in the comments.

Buckle up besties, because for the first time in literal forever we did our HOMEWORK and came with RECEIPTS. We're tearing through chapters 22-28 of House of Flame and Shadow, which means it's time to unhinge our jaws and theorize about whether the Hawk is secretly Vaughn from Throne of Glass, whether Bryce's back tattoo horn used to belong to the Crochan witches, and whether Azriel is about to pull a full Enalius and finally free the Illyrians from their ancient nonsense. Plus: Bryce frees a Snow White lookalike from a sarcophagus with the bare minimum amount of caution (girl, PLEASE), Ataraxia inexplicably refuses to do its one job, the Viper Queen is out here losing on every front, and Hunt's tortured arc is officially testing Melissa's romance girly limits. We're also side-eyeing the introduction of resurrection as a plot device because excuse me, what was the point of any of those deaths?? Come spiral with us. Spoilers through everything SJM has ever published, as per usual.

Buckle up, besties!! Chapters 15 through 21 of House of Flame and Shadow are the ones that sent the entire fandom into a full-blown spiral, and we're getting into ALL of it. From a hologram info-dump that has readers divided, to a single sentence that may have just confirmed one of the biggest theories in the SJM universe, to a moment so brutal and unexpected our jaws are still on the floor — this stretch of holdfast is packed. We're breaking down the plot holes that have everyone yelling "wait, he can do WHAT?!", connecting dots between Crescent City, ACOTAR, and Throne of Glass, debating whether a certain character was always secretly the villain, and asking the question no one wants to answer: did Bryce just bring something terrible into a brand new world? Plus theories on who bought out you-know-who, why Azriel reacted THAT way to the hologram, and a Ruhn moment we genuinely cannot stop thinking about. If you've read these chapters, you already know. If you haven't — what are you waiting for?!
