Welcome to House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas!
This week we're discussing chapters 94 through 96! Lidia unleashes her long-hidden fire power—tied to an ancient Fae bloodline—to save her sons and devastate Pollux, nearly sacrificing herself before the fire sprites and allies help turn the tide. Ruhn takes the antidote, discovers he can heal with his shadows, and fights his way back to the others as the resistance regroups. Meanwhile, Bryce weakens from teleporting until Ithan delivers Connor’s final bullet—the key to destroying the Asteri’s core—forcing Bryce to send Hunt away and face the Asteri alone. Despite Rigelus warning that destroying the core will end the world and offering her power instead, Bryce realizes it’s a kill switch and takes the shot anyway. She drains Rigelus’s stolen firstlight and opens a portal that drags the core and Asteri away—but Bryce is pulled in too, leaving her fate unknown.
Join us for some cheap wine AND cheap thoughts as we deep dive into these chapters!
