Best friends Jac and Amy conduct a literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas's debut novel, Throne of Glass. In this episode, they discuss chapters 7-10.
Each episode is broken into 2 parts. This is part 1 of this week's episode. Stick around for part 2, which airs on Thursday.
(Spoilers for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire will be discussed. Any larger series or other SJM spoilers will be reserved for the end of Thursday's episode in part 2.)
Every episode, Jac and Amy use their combined 13 years of literary academic training to analyze and give voice to reasons why you may love or hate today's popular books. They embrace and respect modern fantasy, romance, and romantasy books written by women. And so, it is in their nature to analyze these books as you would any other novel you might have discussed in school.
Chapter summary for this week's episodes:
Following her year of slavery, Celaena Sardothien returns to Rifthold as a guest of the palace and would-be Champion with Dorian and Chaol. Despite Celaena’s wariness of the glass castle, the assassin finds herself pleased with her accommodations and the ready supply of books Dorian is willing to give her. But unlike Dorian, many are unhappy with Celaena’s presence, including the King of Adarlan, who does not hold back his ire regarding Dorian’s choice of Champion. Meanwhile, Celaena does her best to hide her fear of the king and her disdain about her missteps as a competitor on the eve of the competition’s first trial.
