You know what’s not talked about enough? The fact that when Aelin kept saying Fenrys’ name in KoA, Rowan didn’t even hesitate to go back for him.

He’s just gotten Aelin back, had just seen her for the first time, and he still went back for Fenrys, a male he historically did not like at all and barely tolerated.

Dorian: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Chaol! 

Chaol: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.

Choal and Celena/ Aelin is my Roman Empire and i will absolutely never get over them.

[galaxyofstars]

thank you to everyone who sees my absolutely hypocritical posting history and simply scrolls by. sorry to everyone who thinks ah yes she dislikes what i dislike about that work and then sees me simping over a characters fanart (pls know that chaol is not included in that statement). also sorry to everyone who goes 'oh yay she loves this thing too' and then sees me posting about how i think certain characters have a stick up their ass and should should actually just shut the fuck up. i have complex evolve opinions (i have never made a decision in my life without a hard deadline and literal weeks of agonising over it beforehand)

When someone is saying something bad about your favorite fictional character and you feel like they rather punch you in the heart.

Every time I think of the Thirteen.

Manon told us first:

“The queen was mostly quiet from where she walked at the head of their company, her mate scouting overhead,”

- EOS Chapter 54

How has nobody pointed this out? Manon knew before Rowan did, before we did, before anybody but Dorian and Aelin herself knew.

LESS THAN A MONTH, IM SO EXCITED TO GET WRECKED

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

Tell me tomorrow.

I'm not saying that SJM is a magnificent writer...

I'm just pointing out that the last line of TOG is "Do you want to know what your first mission will be?" "Tell me tomorrow."

And that it oh so perfectly mirrors the ending notes of KOA: "Can I give you a suggestion of what we should rebuild first?" "Tell me tomorrow."

...Okay, so maybe I am saying that she is

Throne of glass spoilers ahead, you have been warned kiddos

Firstly , god damn that was a rollercoaster of hardcore battle , like seriously

The forging of the lock... idk the scene of aelin kinda flying across worlds gave me shivers, and even though I haven’t read acortar or whatever , it’s kinda made me want to read them now, it was so beautifully written

Tell ya who the queen of slow burn is, SJM like god damn that woman, yeh we god elide and Lorcan(obvs) but freakin Lysandra and aedion , I’m kinda still starved for content like, ik aedion was pissed but still a lot of the dialogue between the two of them was Lysandra feeling like shit

LYSANDRA WAS UNDER APPRECIATED JEEZ

aelin- 10/10 character development, Sarah kinda broke her down and built her back up again, from a cocky arrogant queen (who I adored) to a kind, almost wise still cocky queen

Was it just me who thought rowan and the cadre and elide finding her was kinda... anticlimactic... yeh rowan skinned that douchebag alive but still. I felt sjm could have done it more justice

Dorian and manon my little cuties honest to god, their scenes were awesome, manon found her humanity

Crochans were awesome, but like obviously they were important but we didn’t really find out much about them if that makes sense ?

IM ALSO GONNA GET A LAWYER, SARAH OMG WHY TF DID YOU KILL MY BEAUTIFUL THIRTEEN, YEH IT MADE MANON GO APESHIT N FIGHT HARDER. AND YEH THE STAIN ON THE BLOODIED GROUND, AND THEN ALL THE DIFFERENT KINGDOMS PUT FLOWERS WAS AWFULLY BEAUTIFUL. BUT STILL YIELDING? WASNT THAT THE COWARDLY WAY OUT? ASTERIN NEVER MET FENRYS REALLY? I WANTED HER AND BORTE TO BE BEST FRIENDS OMG. HONESTLY WAS SOBBING AT 3am ONLY BIG DEATH THAT MADE ME CRY OTHER THAN NEHMIA, ALSO ASTERIN GOT TO KICK THE BITCHES ASS N TAKE HER DOWN, she’s going to be with her hunter and witching remember that guys :(((((

NOOOOOOOO GAVRIEL AND AEDION NEVER GOT TO TALK CUS AEDION WAS A STUBBORN ASS 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😤😤😤😤

ngl thought nox was gonna have a bigger role, like we all knew he was gonna be in there somehow but still... did he even meet aelin ? Did I miss something

Also thought that it was gonna be Dorian that would have forged the lock ? Anyone else , like ik it wasn’t supposed to be glorious and yeh aelin kinda hAd the right to do it but she just pushed him aside tbf , also neat little thing sjm put in about Dorian wondering about his humanity, and about his father who turned out to be cleverer than we thought.

Maeve was an absolute bitch, her death was kinda anticlimactic, but my main boi fenrys got to have one of the killing blows which was pretty cool

Sartaq and neseryn was awesome as per usual, but I kinda wanted there to be more interaction between them and the other characters , but then again they were just their so we could get birds eye view of battle and also the dam which was freakin awesome like that was really cool , there was an impending threat that wasn’t maeve or erwan

Rowan didn’t really give aelin more time which kinda pissed me off like yeh , he was wary In a worrying way for the couple of chapters in the boat and caves but still.

It was fenrys that honestly just took my mind away, the communication whilst my main girly was getting tortured by the dickhead. That was really cool the way that was written, 11/10 maas for keeping that going throughout the book dammmn

Ik it was a battle but WHERE TF WAS FLEETFOOT , yeh she was mentioned which means she was safe and yeh she was sleepy on the floor , but I wanted her to take a bite outta someone for nehmia

Abraxos didn’t die hahahaha hahahaha my theory of big spikey doggo was correct ��

HE HAD A MATE OMG SERIOUSLY MAN , he’d gone through so much effectively torture, then he was happy and then his mate and all his friends just got killed

Erwans death was awesome like good on yrene who is a freakin goddess in my books definitely a favourite character for evermore. She was pregnant and she managed to save everyone

Aelin still kinda has her power to remind herself and everyone what she had to do to save their world

Ngl I felt kinda sorry for maeve when she wasn’t plotting and scheming , yeh she’s the evil lady that tortured aelin for months, mentally and physically, but she genuinely just wanted to escape from her husband and brothers

Sorry but who TF were those random wolf fae/ humans like heya they saved their asses but I’ve never heard of the wolf tribe before unless I’m being stupid lol

So ummmm Dorian and shapeshift? What can’t that kid do 🤨 but his and chaols reunion was the best like I almost cried , they found each other again, the boys are backkkk

Chaol and yrene didn’t have that many chapters tbf, and when we saw them it was kinda a couple of pages and that’s it each couple of chapters, like I would have liked to have seen more interaction with other characters

Chaols dad didn’t turn out to be as much of a massive dickkk whooooooooop but still I wanted to meet terrin and his mum. Like how cool would that have been if terrin used his diplomatic skills to make the wild men fight for them, like we could’ve had some more character development from chaol who would have faced the bad aspects of his past with the good ones

Sjm could definitely do another series idk she’s kinda set it up like she could write tonnes more on it , but I’m mmm guessing theirs gonna be some more storytelling aspects to the guide book next year than we thought

THE ENDING OMG THE ORIGINAL TRIO WAS BACK AND THEY ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED EACH OTHER IN THE BEST WAY LIKE CHAOL WAS CRYING DORIAN WAS SOBBING AELIN WAS JUST KINDA GLAD THAT NONE OF THEM HAD DIED. However wtf was chaol going about them seeing each other again.? I’m expecting yrene and chaol and Dorian to be all up in Terresan for yulemas etc, aelin and Dorian better send each other books

Nawwwwww manon was a powerful queen who united the clans of witches like that was sickkkkk

Yano I was kinda expecting to meet Vaughan tbf (idk if that’s how you spell his name ) but I’m glad we didn’t because aelin probably would have given the blood oath to him so she could have the full cadre (other than Conall) which I’m still pissed about, like him killing him self, surely he loved fenrys enough to fight it ? Bros before hoes ? Jks it was relevant 😖 and it wish it wasn’t cus I wanted him and fenrys to be free together

AND THIS CONCLUDES PART 1 OF MY LONG AND TEDIOUS TED TALK , THERES GONNA BE MORE I CAN TELL, BUT THAT WAS ME TRYING TO CONDENSE MY BIG PHAT SAD FEELINGS OMG I SOBBED AT THE END OKAY COOL YOUR WELCOME 😎

The Spirtual Machines and Imagine Dragons kept running through my head as I read Kingdom of Ash. What songs or artists give you a Kingdom of Ash vibe?

*THRONE OF GLASS FREAKOUT*

*CAUTION KINDA SPOILING BUT REALLY NOT* 

OK, I know I’m a little late to get on the bandwagon when it comes to the Throne of Glass series. I’m literally three quarters into Tower of Dawn, and I mean this entire series should come with its own health warning. 

I literally fear for my life with every page turn because I have no idea if I’m going to have a heart attack or if someones going to get it on with someone. I mean, I just got FUCKING DERAILED, like proper jaw unhinged- eyes almost falling out of my head- face turning red because I’ve forgotten how to breathe- kind of derailed. 

Nothing prepared me for that spider bitch when she reveals who Maeve is to them. 

                  I was NOT READY! 

It hit me like a freight train!

I WAS READING IN MY LOUNGE ROOM AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS WORKING NEXT ME....I screamed...like I screamed LOUD. 

HE ALMOST PEED HIS PANTS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE HOUSE HAD BEEN SILENT FOR HOURS...

                          I’ve been screaming ‘IT ALL MAKES SENSE’ for half an hour, and he has no idea what I'm talking about. 

YoU TrY EXplaINing ThE THronE of GLAss SeRIES TO soMeONE WhO HASn’T ToUCHed a BoOK iN sIX yEars- literally like willing a cat to understand English

Giant spiders

Giant birds people ride on 

Valg demons 

Sea dragons

Fae People

                         AND THAT’S JUST A FEW THINGS!

He genuinely asked me if I was ok...

                      The answer- FUCK NO! 

I AM NOT OK!

I AM NOT OK!

I AM NOT OK!

FUCK! SARAH J. MASS YOU SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED YOU SHE-DEVIL/OH POWERFUL GODDESS OF WRITING
