Summary
A discussion of the highlights of the third and fourth* books in the series by Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin and A Court of Frost and Starlight - including a few spoilers! Also, a list of grievances with ACOTAR that have popped up during the dramatic and breathy audiobook. A rundown of updates per character as the series progresses, with an obvious effort to tee up new characters for their forthcoming storylines and spin-offs, yes please. Various theories and possible hidden meanings behind both major and nuanced plotlines are also reviewed.
Bonus: the importance of speaking up for people and issues you care about, especially if the only reason you're silent is to avoid or appease bullies

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Duque, Bravo. Today we're |
| 0:09.8 | going to do a fun one. This pod is going to be on a court of thorns and roses, specifically not |
| 0:14.4 | that book, but a court of wings and ruin, frost and starlight, and silly, silly me. I thought that I was |
| 0:20.6 | going to have time to also cover |
| 0:22.3 | a quart of Silver Flames, which is ridiculous. It's like a 750 page book. So that's going to be a separate |
| 0:28.4 | pod. Now, Wings and Ruin and Silver Flames, very big books, very big, big books. Court of Frost and |
| 0:35.3 | Starlight, very little book. Now, this pod was supposed to go out |
| 0:38.7 | like yesterday, maybe the day before, but I got caught up because a bunch of women creators were all |
| 0:45.4 | talking in DM and we were like, you know what? We feel like we should do something because the |
| 0:50.3 | world is going to hell in a handbag. And if it does go to hell in a handbag, I'd like to be |
| 0:56.5 | able to say, I did everything I could, I spoke out, I dissented, I objected, I called a spade a |
| 1:04.3 | spade. I wasn't afraid. I wasn't intimidated. And so I made a post. And it was supposed to be |
| 1:09.9 | just like a simple video, |
| 1:14.5 | but you know me, nothing is simple. And I've got to have receipts because what I'm sick and tired of in this day and age is saying something if people are like, I don't believe you, that's fake. And that's fake. So every time I say something now, it's almost like a Socratic method where I always have my receipt. I try not to say anything I don't have a receipt for. So that took a while |
| 1:27.2 | because I made a video and I said, you know, get out and vote. And I said, I personally am going to be |
| 1:31.1 | endorsing Kamberley Harris and here's why. And so every here's why I put document, document, document, and like if I'm saying her plan for the economy is better, I'm showing you why it's better. And even though I put like in the description, look, if that's not your candidate, then great. |
| 1:45.4 | I'm happy that you have, look, if that's not |
| 1:44.3 | your candidate, then great. I'm happy that you have, you know, someone else in mind. I'm just hoping |
| 1:48.6 | that people vote, right? But the political climate right now is so tribal. It's so cultish. It's so |
| 1:54.3 | mean-spirited. And that's part of the reason I made the post because it's like, why am I holding |
| 2:00.4 | back? Why am I trying not to offend anyone |
| 2:04.3 | ever and keep everything neutral and keep everything chill when I am constantly barraged and |
