This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia finally dive into the most controversial male in the Maasiverse: Tamlin of the Spring Court. Is he misunderstood? Manipulated? Straight-up toxic? Or the most tragic character Sarah J. Maas has ever written?

We unpack his journey from charming High Lord to oppressive partner, from grieving trauma response to dangerous rage, and how much of Tamlin’s downfall is his personality versus the system he was raised in. Is he a product of centuries of isolation? Does trauma excuse his behaviour? Or was every red flag waving from the start?
