Not Bryce mentioning how beautiful Rhys is twice in like five minutes!

[yazthebookish]

Maybe I'll spoil you guys and talk about Gwynriel and ACOTAR5 and anything related to it overall. I recently finished my HOFAS reread and have some fresh thoughts. I'll let my thoughts guide me and some of these points I've already addressed in my insta stories yesterday. I just rather share a lengthy post here since I'll only tag under #gwynriel.

I often see arguments about how Gwyn and Azriel can't move the plot forward because the series is centered on the Archeron sisters.

First, that's not true because Sarah is following what she called "a traditional romance route". She's following the same patterns of Nalini Singh, Kresley Cole, and Lisa Kleypas where they publish multiple books in the same series following different couples.

This is fitting for a series like ACOTAR because it's romance-centered. And Sarah have already said that each couple is getting one book and there will likely be more books beyond ACOTAR6.

Saying that doesn't dismiss the importance of the sisters to the story, Feyre already has a trilogy centered on her. The spin-off just follows different characters including the sisters.

I won't try hard to convince people on this because I've already posted almost everything Sarah said about the spin-off series and what's it's about. So if the next book is not centered on an Archeron sister, that's for Sarah to bamboozle the fandom with.

One thing that stuck out to me is when I compared the ending of ACOSF with the scene of Bryce giving Nesta Gwydion and seeming like she left Nesta with a new quest.

First, this is what the text says, and this is Chapter 80, the very last chapter in ACOSF:

Succeeding in the Blood Rite didn't mean the training stopped. No, after she and her friends told Cassian and Azriel most of the details of their ordeal, the two commanders had compiled a long list of mistakes that the three of them had made that needed to be corrected, and the others wanted to learn from them, too. So they would keep training, until they were all well and truly Valkyries. Gwyn, despite the Rite, had returned to living in the library.

1. The Valkyries are not yet a unit.

2. SJM only and specifically highlighted that Gwyn, despite the Rite, returned to living in the library. It was like "hey, remember all the talk Gwyn did about wanting to leave the library after two years? Yeah that's on hold a bit but keep that in mind". She didnt even add Emerie or the other priestesses to that sentence.

With Nesta being left with Gwydion to find out why the 8-pointed star was tattooed on her, I don't think the next book will start with "hey Elain take this sword and deal with it". Who are Nesta's main companions now? Gwyn and Emerie.

I'll be back to the Valkyries but let's just talk about Azriel for a bit.

It is so painfully obvious to me that Azriel is being handed the Illyrian plot on a golden platter. How big or small of a plot it is depends on SJM, but it's important based on the fact that she fleshed out the Illyrian's origins and tied them to the crossover AND making Truth-teller the knife of Enalius.

That is a big deal for an Illyrian like Azriel.

And I quote my friend Lacie on this, it is very poetic for Azriel to be the owner of the knife that originally belonged to the person who freed his own people from the Daglan's clutches, perhaps because he saw his people are more than just slaves to the Daglan—how powerful would it be for Azriel, who loathes his own people, to parallel Enalius.

And for years some people were against Azriel dealing with this plot because he shouldn't make peace with his "abusers", its true his own family and some Illyrians failed him but he is condemning an entire population. Good people like Emerie and Balthazar. Even Rhys's mother, who had valid reasons to hate her people especially as a female, still made sure to make Rhysand connect with his Illyrian heritage and he even goes on to say that his mother didn't forget what they did to her but still loved her people.

If both Cassian and Rhysand (and by extension the author) continue to flag Azriel's hatred of the Illyrians as an issue—then it is a damn big issue for it to be addressed repeatedly.

Okay so to address my final point about Gwyn and Azriel and how they can move the plot forward.

Now I didn't detail out much about what the next book will deal with because that's another post (and I already have a post on that).

All of our theories and predictions are based on information that is available to us. Saying Azriel and Gwyn cannot move the plot forward does not make any sense because the central plot is tied to multiple characters, Archeron or not.

If SJM wants to make a character move the next book's plot forward, she can do it because she's in control of the story. She's in control of the narrative. She's in control of the characters.

The characters are puppets and this is an unfinished story. If some characters would add more value and make for a more interesting story before the others, she can decide on that. If she wants to make Eris the protagonist of the next book, she can easily do that whether the fandom wants it or not.

Let me give you an example of minor characters that pushed the plot forward and became main characters: Yrene Towers and the Hind. These kind of arguments could've been used for them in HOEAB or HOSAB and Pre-TOD. Before HOSAB/HOFAS and TOD, could we have predicted that they would have played a crucial role before those books? Not likely because they had minimal appearances and were not part of the main cast. This is what I'm talking about.

You can't know how a character will contribute to a story until you see how it all unfolds. We can make guesses on the information we have which is why I believe three characters are likely to join the main cast: Gwyn, Emerie, and Eris.

Why is it so easy to accept that Emerie might be sharing a book with an original character like Mor but it's hard to comprehend the fact that Gwyn could also share a book with Azriel? Because Emerie showed up in ACOFAS? To me that's not really a strong argument based on Sarah's writing and what we have in the books, she doesn't really pick based on who showed up the earliest. Here's a good example: Hypaxia, who showed up earlier, didn't even get her own chapters but the Hind did.

And there's one argument I recall about how I need to rely on Nesta to have a plot focused on Gwyn or the Valkyries in the next book. Nesta's arc is clearly not over based on HOFAS, but does that mean she's getting a POV? Not necessarily. I don't think she is. Gwyn is the perfect candidate for us to see what's going on with Nesta post-HOFAS and how they all deal with the Valkyries and whatever Sarah will set up with them.

There is this whole Valkyrie/Illyrian conflict that could be triggered as a result of the Blood Rite, with Ramiel definitely being an important location to explore in the next book, we also have the Pegasi and the Prison and the implications of the crossover. It makes sense to have an Illyrian and a Valkyrie POV to deal with some plots in the next book.

"Gwyn contributes to nothing" we can't know until the book is out. How sure are we that maybe SJM won't connect her to the crossover by making her mysterious father a Worldwalker? Or Prince of Hel? Or an Asteri? Maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong.

"But Koschei! And the Human Queens!" Koschei will always be a background player pulling on the strings until the final book as it's obvious he is the big bad in the series, unless someone even worse is revealed. But no one is dismissing Koschei or the Human Queens messing around.

Literally what's the point of the story or the fun elements of surprises or plot twists if you need Sarah to list down everything that the next books will deal with. That's not how a story develops to me. I don't need to know everything in advance to just know how it will go. That's like knowing spoilers early on and checking off with each book what happened and what didn't happen. I feel like it's close to how a lot of readers were disappointed with not having enough ACOTAR in HOFAS, because Sarah implied half of the book would be set in Prythian. So by the time the book came out and it wasn't that, people were vocal about it.

In my opinion, SJM set a good foundation for Gwyn's arc to build up on in ACOSF and her arc is not over. We won't get mentions of her still carrying the guilt of her sister's death or not leaving the library after she said she's sick of being there for two years without us seeing resolution for that. She wouldn't be in Azriel's bonus chapter if she is not involved with him.

To conclude, my reread still affirms to me that the next book with an Azriel/Gwyn book. Azriel is clearly being set in the forefront.

Random Thoughts I Have Had While Reading Sarah J Maas

I am on chapter 31 of House Of Flame And Shadow. And I have some thoughts about SJM’s worldbuilding. I have read other fantasy besides SJM.

I started reading SJM with the Throne Of Glass series in December of 2016(rough guess). I never read ACOTAR and I don’t plan to.

SJM’s worldbuilding. Is it actually better in TOG or is it just that the character relationships and the battle scenes move the story along faster?

I’m not bored with Crescent City but I am noticing that other fantasy authors and some science fiction authors have better storytelling ability.

Sabaa Tahir’s worldbuilding. And her villains. Everything about Sabaa is wonderful.

PC and Kristen Cast have excellent worldbuilding. And I love that PC and Kristen seem to include Native American themed stuff in a lot of their books.

Cassandra Clare of course has good worldbuilding. I am currently reading Chain of Thorns from her and Swordcatcher is in my TBR.

Maggie Stiefvater has spectacular worldbuilding. I haven’t read all her books yet. I’ve only read The Raven Boys series.

Nora Roberts. Again, I haven’t read all of her fantasy books. I am on the last book of The Dragonheart series. The male protagonist of the Dragonheart series. I actually like him more than I like some of the CC men.

And where do thrillers fall in the worldbuilding scale? Because a lot of thriller authors use a world that is at least loosely based on the real world. Wayne Stinnett, Stuart Wood, James Patterson(I haven't read all of James's Patterson's books), Wendy Dranfield and Lisa Scottoline all use the real world as a base.

Tom Abrams, it depends on what series. But sometimes he uses the real world. Or sometimes he seems to use a slightly more futuristic version of the real world.

Alexandra Ivy also sometimes uses a more futuristic version of the real world

Jackson Ford is science fiction. I have read all of The Frost Files books, except for the prequel because it’s not available through Amazon. Frost Files, the main character bores me sometimes. But I loved both villains.

K. Gorman is science fiction. I have read all of the books in Eurynome Code and I loved them very much. Especially the fact that K. has LGBTQ characters.

VC Andrews. I’m not sure if she’s considered thriller or not. But I’ve read books 1-4 of Flowers In the Attic. And all the Orphans books. I plan to read more of the Flowers in The Attic books when they fit into my schedule.

I’m not asking for recommendations. I just realize now why readers say that there are issues with SJM’s worldbuilding. And to think I haven’t even touched on all the YA, middle grade, and romance and historical fiction authors I have read in my life.

[theteeniestpinecone]

I just saw a TikTok video where someone said they went on SJM’s Goodreads to see what she’s been reading - and it turns out it’s a bunch of historical/regency romances by an author I’ve never heard of (Lisa Kleypas).

I haven’t checked the validity of this myself, but considering that we all pretty unanimously agree that Elriel = regency vibes….

👀 something to this maybe??

[moononastring]

132 books! Holy moly. I know it would be asking A LOT but do you think you could post a list of all books? If you don’t want to it’s ok. But wow….

HAHA I know it's nuts but I always have a book on me so I reread in between any free moment. It also turns out that it's 130 books since I double-checked on GoodReads!

I initially had a reading goal of 75 books then bumped it to 100. Throughout this year I've realized, I pick and choose between hobbies so if I'm reading, I don't do any other things. So I sacrifice time to play on my switch/watch tv/write because reading takes first place. Also, GoodReads does count epilogues and webtoons as books so I do as well lol. Which is how I'm currently on the 131st book 😂 But sure! I love talking about books so I will list them under the read more!

[aldbooks]

Hello there! How have you been? I’m still working on your present, which is a lot of fun and I’m super excited for you to read it 😉

But in the meantime, I have some more book questions.

* Which SJM series do you think has the best world building, and which series has the best romance, and friendships?

* Which SJM couple do you think is underrated?

* Who are a few one click authors for you? Or who are some of your most read authors?

* What is one thing that you desperately want to see happen in cc3?

Until next time! 🤗

— Santa

Yay! I’m so excited to read it!

Some more great questions. Let me see…

* so far I think TOG has the best world building, ACOTAR the best romance and friendships

*Sartaq and Nesryn. Hands down. I would’ve read a whole book about them. Sartaq chasing after her like “you’re so beautiful and amazing, wow what a woman” and Nesryn being all shocked whenever he tells her he wants her like “wait you want me to be your queen” bitch!!!! 😂

* I don’t really have one click authors any more since I mostly read from the library. This year though I went through Lisa Kleypas’ entire backlog. At least everything I could find. Same with Tessa Dare. My one clicks used to be Lucy Score, RS Grey, Pipa Grant, Claire Kingsley etc back when I was heavy in my contemporary era lmao

* Aside from seeing my baby Ruhn and Lidia happy and healthy together? I wanna see Flynn and Ariadne fuck. Lmao jk but seriously they had such good chemistry in the handful of scenes they had together I can’t wait to see more of them. And of course, Tharion the himbo’s dumb ass 😂 I think Ithan had started taking tips from his “great ideas” book by the end of HOSAB

[wondereads]

Books I Read In March

Reviews below the cut

Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat (DNF)

I was under the impression this book would be about a hostage prince. You know, the political move where a nation demands the spare heir of another nation to hold as hostage, to ensure they don't violate a treaty or anything. Imagine my surprise when I begin reading about sexual slavery. Yeah, I made it about 20% of the way through before I just couldn't do it anymore. The child (yes, child) was where I drew the line.

Evelina by Frances Burney (6/10)

A book I read for school, but fairly enjoyable for an eighteenth-century novel. I found the etiquette quite interesting, and Evelina and Lord Orville's relationship was sweet. However, it's filled with a lot of nothing as is expected from classics, and Evelina is the epitome of a passive protagonist. Burney's obsession with making her stay 'pure' really limited her development.

Damsel by Evelyn Skye (6/10) (ARC)

This book was just pretty average. The big picture of the book was quite good, I really liked Elodie as a main character, and the character relationships were interesting. However, this book falls short in a few different ways. The pacing was too slow in the beginning, and then too fast, not allowing for the characters or message to be explored enough. I must admit, my standards going in were high since I once another book called Damsel dissecting the same sort of story, so I was a little disappointed. A decent read, but really not anything special.

The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge (7/10) (reread)

A purely indulgent reread of the book that inspired one of my favorite movies. Looking back, it really isn't all that good of a book, focusing more on describing every little detail than any semblance of plot development. It's also very Christian and pushes it at every point. Still, I'm emotionally attached to Robin and Maria, so they'll always get a pass from me.

The Buried and the Bound by Rochelle Hassan (???)

I'll be honest. I read this book in an absolute fever dream that lasted three hours. I was assigned to read it, and I was trying to get through it as fast as possible, and now I can remember approximately 20% of it. I could give you a plot and character rundown, but any sort of deeper analysis or real opinions are going to be notoriously unreliable.

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker (8/10) (ARC)

I think this is a good book. The plot is interesting with a unique take on magical realism, the main characters are complex, and it addresses some important issues with magic as a stand-in for all kinds of cultural practices. I have my issues, mostly with the lack of urgency, narration, and unclear message, but they are by no means dealbreakers. The cliffhanger is attention-grabbing, definitely enough to get a reader to want to read the next book, and I just love Cristina so much. This book comes out on April 4th, so be sure to give it a shot!

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (5/10)

I'll be frank. I don't like SJM, and I doubt I ever will. However, two of my friends love these books, and I've recommended so many books to them that I feel bad not reciprocating. Personally, I find Celaena (and most of SJM's protagonists) a Mary Sue, and this book in particular feels like the literary equivalent of a filler episode. Ultimately, the only plot-relevant developments were the discovery of the Wyrdkeys, Celaena getting sent to Wendlyn, and Nehemia's death. Which, by the way, is completely unnecessary and leaves a horrendous taste in my mouth considering she's the only character of color in the entire book. I will still be reading Heir of Fire, but I won't be happy about it.

The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann (7/10) (reread)

The Unwanteds, despite opening with a bunch of thirteen year olds about to be thrown into boiling oil, is a fun book that’s good for light reading. It’s really best for ages ten to thirteen, but it’s also lighthearted fantasy adults can read when they’re in the mood for something unique but not depressing. The plot and character development is rather good, although I wish more time had been devoted to it. For example, I still can't forgive Lani, and really everyone, for how they treated Alex, excluding and sometimes outright bullying him for months. I understand the complexity of the situation, but come on. He was miserable.

[yazthebookish]

I feel like people who think the series is exclusively about the Archeron Sisters dismiss what Sarah said about the spin-off books (not to mention her statements about what the books are about in several interviews).

Feyre's trilogy is hers and is different from the spin-off simply for the fact that SJM said the spin-off books will follow a traditional romance route = each book will feature different romantic pairings, they'll have their own plot and it ties into the overarching plot that spans across all the other books. Basically they're interconnected standalones and each couple get one book with a promised HEA.

Examples of that being:

• Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series

• Lisa Kleypas Wallflowers, Hathaways, and Ravenels series

• JK Ward's Blackdagger Brotherhood series

• Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series

Each series include books that follow different couples that are usually in the same circle or close to it. There aren't rules about who shows up "first" must have their story first or that an OG character can't end up with a new character or should only end up with an OG character.

It doesn't work that way. What matters is which characters and couples are complimentary and would contribute to the story the most. Even in these books, some OG characters ended up with brand new love interests. Some new characters became protagonists.

I do believe ACOTAR will continue even beyond ACOTAR6 (this is supported by Sarah stating there will be more books in the series). More characters and couples from this world will be featured.

ANOTHER SJM FAN OML

I'VE BEEN POSTING FANART OF THAT GAME FOR SO LONGGGG😭

I've been playing that game for so long too😭 (Lisa and spooper are pains)

out crossover art

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

The one consolation I had about the pack's deaths was at least they were together and happy and at peace in the bone quarter. And now I find out it's all a "comforting lie" and I don't even have that. And I don't wanna even think about how much it must hurt Hunt to know his mothers not at true peace
