Spoilers and adult language ahead. Welcome to A Court of Cortisol & Chaos—now go get back to your TBR!
ACOTAR 6 Predictions | What We Think Is Coming Next
Welcome back to Cortisol and Chaos: The Podcast. We’re diving back into A Court of Thorns and Roses with one very important question: what the hell do we think is actually happening in ACOTAR 6?
In this episode, Dom, Amy, and Lindsay are making their ACOTAR 6 predictions—from characters and relationships to plot twists, potential storylines, and the theories that may or may not get us institutionalized.
One very important disclaimer: this episode was recorded before the ACOTAR 6/7 title announcement and the release of the new quotes, so everything you hear is based on the information, theories, and clues we had at the time of recording. Consider this a little time capsule of our pre-announcement spiraling.
Are we completely wrong or have we accidentally predicted something straight out of SJM's brain? Stay tuned to find out!
Spoilers for the Maasverse ahead!
And if you’re new here, welcome to the Court of Cortisol and Chaos. We’re so glad you’re here.

Series We’re Starting, Continuing & DNFing
In our first episode, Amy, Dom, and Lindsay are looking at the series we’ve started recently and deciding which ones are worth continuing, which ones we’re still undecided about, and which ones we’ve officially decided to leave behind.We talk about the books that pulled us in, the ones that lost us somewhere along the way, and what makes us decide whether a series has earned a spot on our TBR.

Episode 8: Eo — Sacrifice, Symbolism, and Storytelling | ACOCAC Podcast
Before we begin, we want to name that this episode discusses character death, gendered violence in storytelling, and the concept of fridging. We’re approaching this as a literary discussion, not a definitive statement, and we’re interested in exploring multiple interpretations. This episode is us thinking out loud, challenging each other, and engaging thoughtfully with complex ideas.
In this episode of A Court of Cortisol and Chaos, we’re joined by special guest Antoinette (@antoinettecealopesreads). We start with a lighthearted Kiss, Marry, Kill before moving into a deeper conversation about Eo from Red Rising.
We discuss Eo’s role in the narrative, her function as a symbolic catalyst, comparisons to a Lucretia figure, the concept of fridging, and how her death shapes Darrow and the broader story.
Our goal isn’t to arrive at one definitive interpretation, but to examine how these storytelling choices function and what questions they raise about narrative structure and character motivation.
