A Court of Thoughts and Proses

About A Court of Thoughts and Proses

Inspired by Sarah J Maas' book series 'A Court of Thorns and Roses', two friends read each chapter and ask big (and sometimes silly) questions about the characters and the world of Prythian. We also use deep reading techniques to gain greater insight, pioneered by the podcast 'Harry Potter and the Sacred Text'.

    Content Warnings: gaslighting, food, injury, racism In this episode, we discuss beauty standards, Feyre’s difficult relationship with food and racism between fairies. Can we read Lucien as queer?

Katie the archaeologist would also like to add to our conversation about the Romans and the Dark Ages. It’s a common myth that medieval Europe was backwards and civilisation collapsed, but actually it was a time of innovation, especially in the Islamic world.
