Book 3 Finale - A Court of Wings and Ruin Roundtable
Summary
Hosts Nirav, Patrick, and Ian conclude their ACOTAR trilogy read-through with guests Rachel, Alexa, and Lindsay, discussing the finale of *A Court of Wings and Ruin*. They critique the rushed war sequence, Tamlin’s lack of redemption, and the sudden inclusion of queer characters, while debating Feyre’s handling of her bisexuality and Azriel.
