Welcome to our 15-part deep-dive literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling romantasy novel, A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOMAF). In this episode, we cover chapters 32 through 37 as Feyre enters the Summer Court under the guise of diplomacy and confronts new questions about trust, purpose, and belonging. With 13 years of combined academic literary experience and two literary lenses guiding our discussion, best friends Jac and Amy explore how Sarah J. Maas uses setting, subtle court politics, and emotional displacement to develop Feyre’s internal journey. As Feyre connects with Tarquin but conceals her mission, we ask: How do we measure loyalty in a world built on secrets? Perfect for fans of fantasy romance, BookTok favorites, and readers who love smart, nuanced conversation about popular books by women, including those continuing Feyre’s story from A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). Chapter Description: Feyre accompanies Rhysand and Amren to the Summer Court, where they play the part of well-meaning allies in front of Tarquin and his court. Both Rhysand and Feyre find they like the earnest Tarquin, but their mission is more important than preserving a relationship with the young High Lord. In this new environment, Feyre explores her feelings of unhappiness and loneliness, as well as her emerging powers, in her quest for the Fae half of the Book of Breathings.
