There's lots of interesting aspects to Lucien's anger with Tamlin and with what Tamlin may have wanted Feyre to do. Then we get into the return to her family and her sisters' attitudes (and how she thinks humans now look "unfinished" after only 3 months away?!?) https://linktr.ee/bookbreathingbtchqueensIntro/Closing Music Credit: Indie-Pop by Ivan LuzanFind the song here: https://pixabay.com/music/indie-pop-indie-pop-170731/Find Ivan Luzan here:  https://pixabay.com/users/ivan_luzan-34614814/Episode Overview: 00:00–Intro song, episode intro and summary01:27–cheeky foreshadowing of Lucien in the human realm!02:20–Why are main characters always so attractive?03:06–All about Feyre’s homecoming outfit (and Tamlin’s performative fashion sense)05:12–Why didn’t her sisters say anything about the outfit?06:03–Does Tamlin have mind control powers?
