Reading Bad ACOTAR Reviews

This week, we dive headfirst into the most unhinged, controversial, and downright offensive bad reviews of A Court of Thorns and Roses. From readers who “just didn’t get the hype” to those personally victimised by fae politics, Rhysand, or the sheer number of wingspans mentioned — nothing is off limits. We’ll read real low-star reviews, react in real time, and decide: are these reviewers brave truth-tellers… or simply wrong? Expect dramatic readings, hot takes, defence arguments for our favourite characters, and plenty of chaotic bookish energy.

Should Mor Be Trusted?

In this week’s episode, we dive into one of the most mysterious and debated characters in the series: Mor. She’s powerful, loyal, and an integral part of the Inner Circle—but is she as transparent as she seems? We discuss Mor’s backstory, her relationships, and the moments in the series that raise questions about her honesty and motivations. From her long history with the Court of Nightmares to the secrets she’s kept from those closest to her, we unpack whether her actions come from self-protection, loyalty, or something else entirely. Is Mor a trustworthy narrator of her own story, or are there pieces we still don’t fully understand? Join us as we break down the evidence, share our theories, and decide whether we’re firmly on Team Mor—or still a little suspicious.

Chaol Westfall/ Villain or Just a Guy?

This episode, Georgie and Adalia are stepping into dangerous territory 👀 We’re talking all things Chaol Westfall from Throne of Glass — one of the most divisive characters in the entire Maasverse. Why is Chaol so controversial? Why does he inspire such intense loyalty and such intense hate? And the big question: is the Chaol slander actually deserved, or are we being a little unfair? We unpack his choices, his flaws, his growth (or lack of it), and why readers tend to judge him so differently compared to other male characters in the series. From moral rigidity and messy reactions to trauma, to whether he’s held to a harsher standard than everyone else — nothing is off-limits. Expect hot takes, nuance, a little defence, a little dragging, and probably some moments that will have you yelling at your headphones. Whether you’re a proud Chaol defender, a lifelong hater, or deeply conflicted — this one’s for you.

Our 2026 Bookish Ins & Outs

In this episode, Georgie and Adalia sit down as members of their own Inner Circle to unpack what’s officially in and outfor their reading lives in 2026.

Permission to curate their own reading life in 2026 – without guilt, without pressure, and with main-character energy!

Season 2 Episode 8: The Most Chaotic Bookish Kiss, Marry or Kill

This week on The Inner Circle, Georgie and Adalia throw all logic, morals, and self respect out the window for the most unhinged Kiss, Marry, Kill the romantasy world has to offer. We’re talking impossible choices, morally grey men, and situations that feel less like a game and more like a personality test. From cursed favourites to characters we hate that somehow still make the list, nothing is off limits. Yes, even the ones that should be. This episode is chaotic, controversial, and guaranteed to start arguments in the group chat. Play along, judge us silently (or loudly), and be warned — your answers may expose you more than you’re ready for.

Season 2 Episode 7: Bookish AITA Part 2

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia are putting the book community on trial. We’re diving into Bookish AITA, real reader confessions that have us asking: am I the asshole… or is this completely justified in reader culture? From borrowing disasters to annotation debates and book club betrayals, we’re judging the most relatable (and controversial) bookish behaviour... because someone has to!

In true Inner Circle fashion, we keep everything completely spoiler-free, making this the perfect episode for readers who are curious about the hype or debating whether to dive in.

Season 2 Ep 5: Lets Talk Vogue's "Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?"

This week, we’re diving into Vogue’s viral article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” and unpacking why the internet is suddenly allergic to “boyfriend content.” We took the question to our stories, collected your unfiltered opinions, and brought them straight into the episode. From cultural shifts to romantasy-level standards, we also break down how fiction influences our dating lives, what we now refuse to settle for, and why book boyfriends might be responsible for our collective delusion (in the best way). Grab a warm drink, get cosy, and step into the Inner Circle

Season 2 Ep 4: The Tamlin Episode (Brace Yourselves)

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?

Season 2 Ep 2: How Does Romantasy Affect Dating?

This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia dive into the question every romantasy reader secretly asks: how does reading about epic, all-consuming love stories actually affect our dating lives? From heightened standards to unexpected self-awareness, they unpack how these books have shaped their views on love, intimacy, and what we now refuse to settle for. We also asked our listeners to share their experiences — and the answers did not disappoint. From breakups sparked by the realization that “bare minimum” isn’t romance, to couples reigniting their spark after a well-timed Nesta and Cassianroleplay, we explore how romantasy is reshaping modern relationships. Turns out, the bar isn’t unrealistically high… it’s just finally where it belongs. So grab a warm drink, get settled in, and join us for a conversation that proves maybe... just maybe, expecting magic isn’t so unrealistic after all!
