Welcome back to our discussion of "A Court of Silver Flames" by Sarah J. Maas.

This week we are covering chapters 67-69! The Valkyries have found and reconnected with Gwyn and fight Bellius in the process. Gwyn gets pretty injured and while resting, the valkyries tell their traumas to each other and decide to take on the mountain rather than hide. Nesta helps injured Gwyn up the mountain and the girls make it to the Pass of Enalius but Bellius and crew are gaining on them.  Nesta chooses to stay back and fight and let her friends continue up Ramiel.

Cassian and Az have finally connected with Eris, but not the way they wanted.  Briallyn has him under the influence of the crown and they are taken while trying to get Eris out of her control.

This week we are covering chapters 64-66! The Valkyries are officially in the Blood Rite. Nesta has woken up before the Illyrians and has found...a weapon? They're supposed to be banned, so what's going on?  Nesta fights an Illyrian male and wins and decides she needs to find the rest of the Valkyries.  It seems like her bracelet is guiding the way. There's no hope that Cassian is going to be able to rescue them...according to Illyrian rules, both he and Nesta would be executed.  Finnally Nesta finds Emerie, but she's unconscious.

This week we are covering chapters 61-63! Nesta's life is finally on track: She's got a clear head, a new man, amazing friends, and could take a male down without breaking a sweat. Nest has passed her tests and now considers herself Valkyrie status and at her first "real" Starfall ball she and Amren finally make up. Since life is so good, we know SJM is going to LOL and make us regret saying that. Nesta and Cassian get into a huge blowout and Nesta cashes in her bargain. Cass figures out a loophole, but when he goes to find Nesta, she's gone and she and her girls are now participating in the Bloodrite.

This week we are covering chapters 59-60 plus Azriel's bonus chapter! In Azriel's chapter we see interactions with both him and Elain and Gwyn....who do you ship with Az? The girls have a sleep over in the house and make friendship bracelets but the charms may possibly have a spell of some sort courtesy of Nesta. The girls finally slice the ribbon so Cassian and Azriel create an obstacle course to test the valkyries strength. Devlon watches as they complete the obstacle course (which happens to be a qualifier for the Blood Rite) so they've proven they are as good as any Illyrian.

This week we are covering chapters 56-58! Gwyn gets her fellow valkyries a once in a lifetime gift for solstice because "their stories deserve to be told." 💞 We dive into what makes the House of Wind so special and we finally are celebrating Winter Solstice...in the Court of Nightmares. Nesta dances the night away with Eris and Cassian couldn't just hold it together for ONE night. We end our chapters with the Inner Circle's celebration and Cassian's gift to Nesta.

This week we are covering chapters 53-55!
Wow, do we have a lot to unpack this week.  Nesta and Cassian get the harp with seemingly no issues (barely an inconvenience!). Unfortunatly on the way out of the prison, we get stopped by Lanthys and some Autumn Court soldiers. After Cassian and Nesta tag team Lanthys (no, not like that) they head back to the River House to make a plan for how to convince Eris to still be in an alliance with them.  It's time for Nesta to dust off those dancing shoes and swoon Eris.  We end the chapters by taking a trip down memory lane while we visit Nesta's old home.

This week we are covering chapters 50-52!
Cassian and Nesta heal and then enjoy their time at the lake. Once they're back, Nesta jumps back into training, but there's a twist: Gwyn has broken out a ribbon.  The ribbon will determine when they are true Valkyries. We also see a super vulnerable side to Nesta when she decides to trust Gwyn with her trauma.  Gwyn invites her to the priestesses' nightly rituals to hear the music but Nesta starts to scry during the ceremony...and finds the harp.

This week we are covering chapters 47-49. After the chaos of telling Feyre about the baby's wings, Nesta has spiraled into her worst depression yet.  Cassian has taken her to the wilderness to reflect on her choices and Nesta has taken it to the next level.  After several days of hiking and Cassian conversing with Feyre, we finally make it to a gorgeous lake and Nesta melts down.

This week we are covering chapters 44-46. Cass & Nesta continue their hookups and Valkyrie training. We discover Cassian's former lover was a Valkyrie and hear a little more about their last battle.  Elain devulges information that Nesta is a spectacular dancer and can bring men to their knees via dance. Cassian spills  information about  Nesta's created trove and also tells her who voted against her and she shows up at Amren's ready to fight. Feyre intervenes and in Nesta's anger, tell Feyre about the baby's wings and Rhys order Cassian to take Nesta out of the city before he does something bad!

This week we are covering chapters 41-43. Helion  has come to visit and helps ward the crown from enemies (or Nesta?).  We have some more sexy scenes with Cassian and Nesta.  Knock, knock! It's the blacksmith and he comes bearing the new trove, thanks to Nesta's handywork. Amren thinks that with this trove, Rhys can be the new King of Prythian. We end in the Spring Court talking to Eris, when Tamlin shows up....

 This week we are covering chapters 38-40.  There's a lot of fluff, but we need to acknowledge the progress that Nesta has made. The girls have begun sword work (insert sword joke here). They have been introduced to a new "mind stilling" valkyrie technique that they try out.  It helps Nesta feel comfortable in her own skin for once. Cassian brings Nesta to a blacksmith to learn to appreciate the making of a sword and our girl takes out all the frustrations.

This week we are covering chapters 29-31. We start off with the Inner Circle telling Cass that Nesta has a week to find the Dread Trove before they approach Elain. Nesta attempts scrying but with no luck and it leads to some pretty awful dreams. We discover that Rhys and Feyre's baby has wings (but Feyre doesn't know the risks associated with this). What will happen if Tamlin finds out???? Nesta attempts scrying for a second time with much more luck...we're off the "The Middle."

This week we are covering chapters 26-28. We start off with the "glug glug 3000" (IYKYK).  Nesta convinces Cassian to deliver some spices and tea to Emerie to nudge her into coming to training. It works! During training the 3 girls get to know each other and their choices of books (Hallmark vs. Smut). Cassian is the supportive king we all need in our lives and has words with Rhys about how he treats Nesta.

This week we are covering chapters 23-25.  We start off with the awkward sexual tension between Cass & Nesta, followed by Nesta watching Azriel and Cassian spar and it brings up some....feelings. Nesta reaches out to Gwyn about the Dead Trove. Cassian gets called in by Clotho because Nesta is being very distracting at work (it's all part of her master plan to get priestesses to the training ring). Nesta meets up with Emerie again while Cassian talks to Eris about the Dead Trove and why Briallyn is not including Beron in her plans

Welcome back to our 5th season of Valkyries and Vinos!

We are continuing with the final book of the ACOTAR series A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas. This week we are covering chapters 12-14 of A Court of Silver Flames. Cassian tries one last time to reach his hand out to Nesta. He decides they can train at The House of Wind instead of winnowing to the Illyrian Camp. He goes one step further and makes a bargain with Nesta if she trains one hour. His risk pays off and he gets much more than from her. Nesta begins to feel good after training and after her work in the library. Let’s see if the progress continues!
