ACOTAR: The Cauldron Deep Dive | It’s Powers, It’s Depths, and What Really Happened when it Broke

What IS The Cauldron, and why did Nesta call it an icy Hell?  In this ACOTAR + Maasverse deep dive, we unravel all the mysteries surrounding Prythian’s vat of life. From its mysterious heartbeat, to what really happened when the Cauldron broke - we’re exploring how this ancient world-maker connects to the entire Maasverse in this deep dive episode of Dragons in the Details!

NOTE ON SPOILERS: We break our episodes into ACOTAR-Only and Maasverse sections, with the Maasverse sections at the end. There will be NO MAASVERSE SPOILERS in the ACOTAR only sections, but we will cover the entirety of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series in the ACOTAR sections. So whether you’ve only been to Prythian or you’ve explored the entire Maasverse, this podcast is for you!
