A Court of Wings and Ruin: Prologue - Chapter 3

91 min • 31 januari 2023

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 the prologue through chapter 3 as Feyre returns to the Spring Court, not as Tamlin’s lover, but as a spy, a saboteur, and the High Lady of the Night Court.


With 13 years of combined academic literary experience and a rotating set of literary lenses guiding our discussion, best friends Jac and Amy examine how Sarah J. Maas sets the tone for ACOWAR through deception, psychological warfare, and narrative inversion. As Feyre plays her most dangerous role yet, we ask: What does vengeance look like when justice is personal, and how do you weaponize beauty and obedience in a world built to silence you?


If you’re just joining us, be sure to check out our full literary analyses of A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) and A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOMAF) to follow Feyre’s journey from mortal huntress to High Lady of the Night Court.


Chapter Description:
Unbeknownst to Tamlin and the Spring Court, Feyre Archeron lives peacefully in the manor as Tamlin’s woman, with vengeance on her mind. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, the High Lady of the Night Court uses her powers and cunning to hide her true allegiance and her rage at the events in Hybern behind pretty paintings, pretty dresses, and pretty smiles. But will Feyre be able to keep her disguise in check when Hybern’s commanders come to court in search of a way to tear down the wall separating the human and faerie lands?
