Episode 11: Is Rhysand Evil?!

This week, in The Inner Circle Podcast with Georgie & Adalia we’re exploring a complex question: when someone uses their power to protect you, where’s the line between care and control?

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Night Court and Rhysand’s leadership through a critical lens. We’ll discuss the ethics of secrecy, consent, and manipulation—from hiding the mating bond to Feyre’s role in the war—and ask whether the Night Court’s reputation as the “progressive” court really holds up. We also reflect on the silence within the Inner Circle, Nesta’s pushback in A Court of Silver Flames, and whether Sarah J. Maas is critiquing power or romanticizing it.

Disclaimer: We love Rhysand and will continue to ignore all of his potential red flags!
