Welcome to our 10-part deep-dive literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling romantasy novel, A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this episode, we explore chapters 23–28 as Feyre experiences the joy of the Summer Solstice and the dread of Rhysand’s sudden appearance—moments that will forever change the course of her journey.
With 13 years of combined literary academic training, best friends Jac and Amy analyze the storytelling techniques, character development, and major themes that make ACOTAR a modern romantasy classic. This week, we unpack the emotional weight of joy, fear, and forced separation in Feyre’s arc, as Sarah J. Maas introduces new romantic and political tension with the arrival of Rhysand and the looming threat beyond the Spring Court.
Perfect for fans of fantasy romance, BookTok favorites, and readers who love smart, nuanced conversation about popular books by women.
Chapter Description:
The advent of the Summer Solstice and its accompanying celebrations bring about the happiest day of Feyre’s life. But the joy is short-lived. The juxtaposition of needless violence and Rhysand’s terrifying visit heralds unwelcome change for Feyre and separates her from Tamlin. As she is forced to return to the human world, is Feyre still the woman she once was—and will she be able to assimilate when she returns to her family?
