Welcome to our 21-part deep-dive literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling romantasy novel, A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOWAR). In this episode, we cover chapters 25 through 27, as the Inner Circle ventures into the Court of Nightmares to rally allies and unearth secrets that threaten their unity from within.
With 13 years of combined academic literary experience and two distinct literary lenses, best friends Jac and Amy analyze how Sarah J. Maas uses deception, manipulation, and confession to test the limits of trust within Prythian’s most powerful found family. As power plays escalate and emotional fissures widen, we ask: What’s the cost of keeping the group together when war looms and no one can afford the truth?
Make sure to catch our previous seasons covering A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) and A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOMAF) to trace the full arc of Feyre’s evolution—and the Inner Circle’s growing fractures.
Chapter Description:
The Inner Circle descend upon the Court of Nightmares, intent to win the allegiance of the Darkbringer legion at Keir’s command. But when negotiations do not go their way, Rhys plays a hand that may tear apart the Inner Circle from within. Tensions run high when Rhys admits to his schemes, and more than one person must reveal the secrets they’ve been keeping to keep the group afloat when despair threatens to sink them.
