**ACOTAR SPOILERS** In this episode, we discuss Feyre’s first meeting with the Suriel! We start with an opening question about what we would ask the Suriel about the Maasverse and then we tear the scene apart. What does it mean that the Suriel is “older than the bones of this world”? Why does Feyre differentiate between her and the part of her that is “human” here? Is Feyre seeing through glamours a bit more because people were trying to stop her? We also see some foreshadowing (hindsight is 20/20) of her being bored/trapped in the Spring Court already. Then we discuss the Kaltain theory, the High Lord’s power and the Suriel’s power (is it “truth”?) and who does the Suriel consider his “brethren”? Which family is the Suriel talking about and did he really mean Rhys or did he just kinda go with it when he sees her in ACOMAF lol. We end with a discussion about what kind of purpose the naga would have for the Suriel as we look to next week’s Chapter 15 discussion.
