A Court of... Perfectly Fine? | A Court of Splintered Harmony Review
Is it terrible? No. Is it life-changing? Also no.
This week on the pod, we're diving into A Court of Splintered Harmony by Sarah J Maas, and to be completely honest, we both landed right in the middle of the road, with ratings sitting at a very solid 3 to 3.5 stars, we're breaking down everything that worked, everything that fell flat, and why this one left us feeling completely, utterly neutral.
Whether you loved it, hated it, or are sitting right on the fence with us, grab a drink and join the debrief.
In this episode, we talk about:
Our honest, unfiltered (and slightly mid) first impressions.
The plot points that hit vs the ones that missed the mark.
Why this earned a middle of the pack 3-3.5 star rating from both of us.
Let's chat!

Who says literature always has to be serious?
We recorded this one live on Halloween, and we are diving straight into why reading is supposed to be fun, why certain book-shaming needs to stop, and how to just enjoy your unhinged romance reads without apology.
In this episode, we deep dive into our three October buddy reads, being The Witch by Freida McFadden, Grim Tidings by BK Borison and Hallow Peen by Holly Wilde. There are spoilers, given we deep dive, so please be mindful when you listen.
We also drop a codeword throughout the episode, so listen out and if you want to enter, head over to our socials to make sure you're in it.

Spoiler warning: we cry, we yell, we FMK... nothing is held back.
In Episode 9, your two chaotic bookish besties swap favourite reads and dive deep into The Women and Bright Side.  Two books that hit hard, linger long, and absolutely wrecked us in very different ways.
We kick things off with a combined FMK (because obviously), then jump straight into a spoiler‑heavy breakdown of themes, characters, emotional damage, and the moments that had one of us genuinely tearing up mid‑recording.
If you love honest reactions, raw feelings, messy opinions, and best‑friend chaos, this episode is your comfort listen.
Timestamps:
FMK: unhinged as always
The Women: discussion, themes, tears
Bright Side: character talk, heartbreak, more tears
Final thoughts + who handled whose favourite better.
Spoiler‑heavy from start to finish - listen only if you’re ready.

Episode 8 is here, and we’re catching you up on everything that’s gone down in the bookish world this past month. From seeing the Verity movie (yes, we have thoughts), to an unhinged FMK featuring Off Campus characters, to the latest Fourth Wing casting updates, Red Rising movie news, and the never‑ending saga of book‑to‑screen adaptations.
We also dive into the industry shift away from physical media - PlayStation’s moves, the upcoming GTA release, and why eBooks and digital copies somehow cost the same as physical books. Plus, a reminder that we’re going LIVE on Halloween night for a spooky, bookish episode with a giveaway you won’t want to miss.
If you love monthly chaos, fandom updates, and mildly feral commentary, this one’s for you. Don’t forget to comment, like, subscribe, follow: all the things.

Part 2 of our Sarah J. Maas mega‑recap is here, and we’re diving straight into the fire.
In this episode, we break down A Court of Silver Flames and Crescent City 3: House of Flame and Shadow, exploring how Nesta’s journey of rage and healing intertwines with Bryce’s world‑shattering fight for freedom.
With A Court of Splintered Harmony on the horizon, we connect the threads, theories, character arcs, and cross‑series lore that SJM has been quietly setting up for years.
Expect chaos, crackpot predictions, emotional damage, and a whole lot of thirsting over winged warriors and starborn power.
Perfect for ACOTAR fans, CC obsessives, and anyone prepping for Book 6’s release - this is your spoiler‑heavy, unhinged, deeply researched recap to get you ready for what’s coming next.

There are spoilers contained for the ENTIRE Empyrean series.
Rebecca Yarros really said “good luck surviving this” and we… absolutely did not.
In this emergency episode, we dive head‑first into the chaos, intensity, thirst, trauma, and feral energy of Threshing Day - breaking down the moments that shattered us, the dynamics that rewired our brains, and the scenes we are still emotionally recovering from.
We unpack the stakes, the bonds, the power shifts, the tension (you know which tension), and why this part of the story hits peak levels of unhinged fandom meltdown.
If you’ve just finished Threshing Day and need a safe space to scream, spiral, and process? You’re in the right place.
Grab a drink, brace your soul, and join us in the chaos.
