A Court of Thorns and Roses: Chapters 18 - 22

Welcome to our 10-part deep-dive literary analysis of Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling romantasy novel, A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this episode, we explore chapters 18–22 as Feyre and Tamlin begin to explore the emotional aftermath of violence and the seductive beauty of the Spring Court.

With 13 years of combined literary academic training, best friends Jac and Amy analyze the storytelling techniques, character development, and major themes that make ACOTAR a modern romantasy classic. This week, we discuss how Sarah J. Maas blends intimacy, secrecy, and looming danger as Feyre starts to let her guard down and consider a future with Tamlin, just as the first major cracks in Prythian’s surface begin to show.

Perfect for fans of fantasy romance, BookTok favorites, and readers who love smart, nuanced conversation about popular books by women.

Chapter Description:

In the wake of the naga and the horrors of the night before, Feyre and Tamlin escape to secret glens and hidden galleries. As the Fire Night festival—Calanmai—approaches, the responsibilities of the High Lord place Feyre and Tamlin at odds. Feyre begins to open herself up to the possibility of falling in love, even as new threats start to reveal themselves around the borders of the Spring Court.
