About this episode

The episode dives deep into the character Ruhn Danaan, exploring his powers, connections, and similarities to other characters in the Maasverse.

Babes! We are back this week talking about one of our favorite characters in the whole Maasverse - Ruhn Danaan, Crown Prince of the Valbarran Fae! We’re breaking down Ruhn’s numerous (and surprising) powers, where his powers work and where they don’t, why his shadows are so different from Cormac’s (and Azriel’s!), and where him and Lidia actually met. Through it all, we’ll talk about Ruhn’s seemingly numerous ties to night court, and ask ourselves the question everyone wants to know the answer to - Why does Ruhn look just like Rhys? All that (and more) in this week’s episode! NOTE ON SPOILERS: This episode will have spoilers for both ACOTAR and Crescent City. If you have not read every book in both the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City series, beware! We will also have a section at the end for full Maasverse spoilers, including Throne of Glass - but we will include a spoiler warning in the episode for that!
