Something that I find very, very interesting about FLF is the theme of perception vs reality when it comes to people, especially from Rosalind's pov.

Even going into reading the book, it's practically an expectation that when you start the book that you probably aren't going in as a super big fan of the main character. Even though Rosalind does have a very short pov in the TVD duology and there are definitely quite a few hints that she didn't really know what she was doing and that there's a lot more to her character, most people, just like pretty much all of the characters in TVD, don't see that because it's very subtle. And because Rosalind isn't very forward about it until you actually get into her head. When you read FLF, you get a much deeper understanding of her character and start to see that most of her characterization in TVD comes from a very warped understanding of what was going on with her.

This is also made very interesting by the fact that Rosalind's biggest character flaw is her propensity for holding grudges. If she has been wronged, she tends to cling to the anger she gets from that. It also takes a lot for her to start to see beyond her initial impressions of people, which is greatly reflected by the different ways that you begin to view the different characters in FLF.

Orion is a very good example of this. In this first pov chapter we initially see him as this,,, very unbothered average YA Hot BoyTM character. And even within that first chapter, that is very quickly disproven. Which is very interesting because that switch in perception that you have of Orion during that one chapter is essentially the same switch in perception Rosalind has of him over the course of the entire book.

This same theme is likely relevant to some extent in pretty much all of the other characters as well. With Phoebe, she's painted as a very naive, nonthreatening person only to be revealed to be the assassin who has been lurking in the background the entire time. And the more you reflect on her character, the more you realize how deeply everything that happened with her family has affected her.

Even though Alisa, at first glance, seems to be relatively unconcerned about the sides of the war and therefore likely lacking any strong morals or personal values, this is disproven when she refuses to trust Oliver, turning against the side she chose out of convenience to better align herself with the beliefs that she holds very closely to her, even though that deprives herself of the support of any formal side. She is no longer the little sister who plays a passive "watcher" role in the story.

This also applies to Silas and how Rosalind's first impression when he meets him is a memory of how she heard his father bragging about him years ago and therefore assumes that he has a good relationship with his family which I doubt is accurate.

I can also see this applying to Oliver when we see things from his point of view. My guess is that he's going to end up being absolutely terrified of his mom and that is going to contrast with the Tall Scary Communist AgentTM thing, but we'll see.

As far as Celia, I think this applies to how while she is often portrayed as a very caring kind person who only wants peace and stability, this also translates into her being willing to fight for it, which we see in TVD when she very closely aligns herself with Juliette and again when she defects to the Communists.

( @alicexxnott — )

the order meeting was winding down. people had broken off to talk in smaller and smaller groups — sirius found themself haunting the edges of the room. there was a strange sensation like they didn't belong here. they had that feeling all the time, now, like there was no place in the world where they belonged. there was a mark of evil on their arm, and they were too useless as a spy to even tell the order where the prisoners were being held. they've had to bite their tongue a hundred times tonight, enough that they can practically taste the sharp sting of blood.

they're almost startled when they find themself hovering near alice nott. their histories have been entwined for a long time now. they look at her, and feel their heart clench. alice doesn't like them very much. "you look like you have something to say." they prompt, with a self destructive urge to know what she thinks of everything going on.
