In this emotionally charged episode, we dive into Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas — the book that finally made Eva accept that Chaol is not endgame (it’s okay, we’re all healing).

We unpack our complicated feelings about Rowan and Aelin as a couple (spoiler: we’re not fans), gush over Elide and Lorcan — our new favorite duo — and cry actual tears over Elide’s emotional reunion with Aelin.

Also: Dorian’s glow-up, Manon’s romance arc, Lysandra’s epic sacrifice, Aedion’s ongoing annoyance, and the sheer joy of seeing the gang back together again.

We end the episode by naming our personal MVPs and LVPs — both for this book and the series so far.

You’ve been warned: we have a lot of feelings.
