This is a super interesting and really key chapter in this book and gives us an interesting look at the Spring Court way of doing things, some interesting possibilities for political tensions (cold open points to this but also they just seem a bit tense for a standard tithe) and there’s a lot of moments to see how Feyre is very quick to be disgusted with Tamlin. There’s lots of interesting things to consider in hindsight in this chapter!Let us know your thoughts!!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–Cold open, intro song, episode intro and summary3:06–Feyre’s attitude and expectations towards Tamlin and the Tithe (plus–how do Prythian taxes work?
