Summary

This is Part 2 of our listener discussion. In today’s episode, we start exploring the biggest reactions and questions coming from the community. Sarah J. Maas sat down with Alex Cooper on the hit podcast Call Her Daddy, and the romantasy community had a lot to say about it. In this episode, we break down the interview, talk through the moments that stood out to us, and share some of the most interesting listener reactions from across the fandom. From discussions about writing, publishing, and the success of series like A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass to broader questions about the romantasy boom and the relationship between authors and readers, we’re unpacking what this interview reveals, and what it might mean for the future of the series.
