In this special wrap-up episode, we close out our Crown of Midnight season by highlighting listener thoughts, theories, and favorite moments from Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass sequel. Over the course of this season, we explored Celaena’s grief, vengeance, identity, and transformation through 13 years of combined academic literary training, using two literary lenses to analyze metaphors, symbolism, foreshadowing, and imagery. Now, we turn the mic to our listeners.

From debates about Chaol’s choices and Dorian’s growing magic, to the heartbreak of Nehemia’s death, Archer’s betrayal, and the reveal of Celaena’s Fae identity as Aelin Galathynius, we revisit the biggest questions of the book through your insights. We also discuss your favorite themes, most shocking twists, and what this book sets up for Heir of Fire.

This episode is perfect for people who love:

Throne of Glass fan theories and literary analysis
Community discussions around Romantasy
Breaking down character arcs, betrayals, and reveals
Sharing perspectives on Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian
Foreshadowing and how it connects to the rest of the Maasverse

Join us as we wrap up Crown of Midnight and reflect on everything this season revealed about destiny, grief, and transformation before turning to what’s next for Aelin in Heir of Fire.
