Babes!! We are back this week with a very exciting episode on Crescent City’s cruel parasitic overlords - The Asteri! We’re diving deep on the Asteri’s powers, investigating why we never see them wield the Trove, and finally getting to the bottom of why Hesperus and Vesperus are both called the Evening Star. Plus, in our Maasverse section, we break down the different types of world walking we’ve seen across the Maasverse, question if there’s a drop in Erilea, and ponder who Rigelus might have disguised himself as. So if you’ve ever wondered why the Asteri on Midgard seem so much weaker than the Asteri on Prythian, tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

| Re-Release: ACOTAR Book 6 Predictions! What did we get Right and Wrong? | 16 Sep 2026 | 01:52:59 | |
Babes! We are giving you not one, but two episodes this week since we miss you all so much! We couldn't decide whether or not to re-release our Koschei Deep Dive or our ACOTAR 6 Predictions episode, so we thought, why not both? So here it is in all it's glory. This episode was recorded before we even knew ACOTAR 6 was being release, before Sarah J. Maas went on Call Her Daddy, before any of it. So if the predictions are a little wacky, that's why! But either way, we hope you enjoy it! Original Show Notes: **DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded BEFORE the Sarah J Maas interview on Call Her Daddy was released. But we still feel good about it. So we’re releasing it!*** WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN ACOTAR 6?? In the final episode of our ACOTAR season, Abby and Ronnie break down their predictions for book six. From our POV characters (could we get as many as eight?) to the major plot points (looking at you, Koschei) we’re breaking down allllll our thoughts. Will Elain and Azriel ever find love? Will we get a redemption arc for one of our least favorite characters? And how much of the Maasverse will you have to read ahead of time? Find out our thoughts in this episode of Dragons in the Details! NOTE ON SPOILERS: We break our episodes into ACOTAR-Only and Maasverse sections, with the Maasverse sections at the end. There will be NO MAASVERSE SPOILERS in the ACOTAR only sections, but we will cover the entirety of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series in the ACOTAR sections. So whether you’ve only been to Prythian or you’ve explored the entire Maasverse, this podcast is for you!

We get into all the lore, theories, and banter you love, and we even have a tie in to the Valkyriesl! One things for sure - after this episode, we're getting really excited about Koschei being our big bad for books 6-8. Hope you enjoy! Who is the villain of ACOTAR 6? In this deep dive podcast episode, we explore the Slavic folklore behind Koschei the Deathless to predict Sarah J. Maas's next moves in the ACOTAR series.

| Feed Drop: Dragons in the Details on STAN | 07 Sep 2026 | 01:11:18 | |
Babes! This week we had the immense pleasure of being guest on STAN, a podcast that observes and examines all things fandom. We sit down with host Allegra to discuss the ACOTAR fandom, romantasy at large, and why these books are for everyone. Show notes: I am the rock against which the surf crashes. Nothing can break me. Our angelic guests Abby and Ronnie (from @DragonsintheDetailsPod) lead the conversation on Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Thorn’s and Roses (ACOTAR) series. We get into the depth and complexity of fantasy world building, the frustrating societal tendency to denigrate media and literature intended for women, the positive impact of elevating relationships written for the female gaze. Tangents include…

| "Siren Says" Author Jennifer Michelle Herrera on Career Pivots & Getting Published | 23 Jul 2026 | 01:03:29 | |
Hello lovely listeners! We are back with our final episode of Dragons After Dark on Spotify, and it’s a great one! This week we are very excited to speak with Jennifer Michelle Herrera, author of the upcoming “Siren Says!” We sit down with Jennifer to talk about her (very unique!) journey to getting published, what advice she would give to aspiring authors as a literary agent, Alan Turing (of course), and what inspired her to write “Siren Says.” We absolutely loved having Jennifer on the show and hope you all enjoy listening to the interview as much as we enjoyed recording it! And as a reminder, starting next week this show will be available exclusively on Patreon, so if you want to keep up with all of Abby and Ronnie’s bookish shenanigans, be sure to subscribe there! For less than the price of a movie ticket you will be getting four extra episodes each month. Hope to see you on Patreon! Siren Says synopsis: Twenty-five-year-old Raven Wynn knows that the ancient plant magic running through her veins brings nothing but destruction. It doomed her Welsh ancestors. It killed her mother. It’s the reason she’s now bound by a painful curse—one that will destroy her if she can’t find a way to break its hold. When her estranged Aunt Delilah bursts into her life promising a cure, Raven seizes the chance. However, her freedom comes at a steep price: Once her magic is fully unleashed, she is more powerful (and more dangerous) than anyone thought possible. Desperate to tame powers she never wanted, Raven makes a pact with Delilah: In exchange for learning to control her magic, Raven will capture one of the spirits that roam Delilah’s hometown on May’s Eve. With the help of an enigmatic new friend, Cherry, as well as an infuriatingly handsome stoneworker, Idris, Raven learns that her task is even more perilous than she imagined—one false move and the spirits could trap her soul—forever WE ARE NOW ON PATREON!

| Alchemised Review - We've Never Read a Book Like This (Spoiler-Free and Spoiler-Full) | 09 Jul 2026 | 01:04:58 | |
Trigger Warning: Discussion of war, torture, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and trauma as depicted in Alchemised. Hello lovely listeners! We are back with our latest episode of Dragons After Dark! Each week, Ronnie and Abby will bring you a full bonus episode of bookish content. It will cover the books we’re loving, the shows we’re watching, book news, reviews, and more! And as you might have guessed by now, it will be a little looser than our normal deep dives, but with plenty of our signature banter. For our second episode, we are chatting about Abby’s favorite book of 2025 (and maybe the past five years) - Alchemised by SenLin Yu! We chat about our journeys with Alchemised, Alchemised’s connection to its source material, and what we loved and didn’t love about the book. The episode is broken into a spoiler-free and spoiler-ful discussion. One note - Alchemised is a heavy book that deals with heavy themes, so if you want to sit this one out, we totally understand! We will be back with a new episode next week!
