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 27 - 31.
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:
Consumed with Elena’s ominous warning, Celaena continues to search for information about Wyrdmarks and to reveal the meaning behind those that surround the ebony clock tower. While with Nehemia, Celaena is confronted by Cain and Verin, where Cain reveals he knows her true identity as Adarlan’s Assassin. Deep in research at the library, Celaena is desperate to find anything about Wyrdmarks, but instead stumbles upon an old mysterious text from her destroyed homeland, only adding to her growing concern about the mysterious evil foe she must face. While training, she and Chaol are met with news about another champion’s brutal death. Celaena joins Chaol to examine the body, and a chilling realization dawns on her: Maybe the one murdering the champions is the same as Elena’s mysterious evil force. After an animated conversation with Dorian, Celanea struggles to block out the memories of her past and is visited by Elena once more, who warns her about the next trial.
