#i'm so tired of asoiaf fans bs

[kidcaroline]

Do people realize that hell was about to break loose in westeros before rhaegar/lyanna? tywin only goal was to overthrow aerys, he couldn't care less about rhaegar and lyanna, none of the great houses couldn't care less (except the starks and robert). They were tired of aerys' bs

honestly i'm tired of SJM and her bs. she's not grrm and acotar isn't the cultural reset that asoiaf books are. authors aren't machines and they deserve a break but that's not the case with SJM coz she's had a long break now and the thing is even when she does have the opportunity to give something, just anything, to the fans she doesn't. she writes a book that she hyped up so much and it's just some rubbish slop giving the fans none of what she promised.

you're telling me we had 173929 moments of nesta having mommy issues and rhys yelling at her like a crazy man but we couldn't have gotten a single elriel crumb? a ship that's gonna be canon next and have a book for them didn't even make an appearance in a very hyped up crossover?? what stupid marketing is this? idk but as a fan who's been looking forward to these characters and their stories i feel like i'm being clowned now. is nesta vs the world all she can give us now? i'm sorry but nesta has already had her story told and her conflict with rhys serves literally no purpose in the story anymore. they both ended on a good note in ACOSF so what was the point of unnecessarily dragging this nonsense again instead of giving readers something that actually makes them invested in the series? like it infuriates me that HOFAS was such a nothing burger. we didn't even get any sweet nessian moments just nesta being the rebellious emo child getting scolded by a rhys. if anything it makes these characters look less appealing now and if that's her purpose then she's definitely won coz cassian looks like a loser to me now who can't stand up for his mate, nesta looks stupid and dumb and rhys extremely insufferable. sorry for the rant but i just think that SJM is being really cheap now.

Listen Anon, it's not like I am gonna argue with you!

It's extremely frustrating. Extremely. Not the lack of book--the know how long it takes sometimes and considering the stakes with this one, I would imagine they'd want to do the best possible job with it (hahaha), however, absolutely no communication about anything is bullshit. No updates, no timelines, no newsletters, no nothing. Even about the HOFAS paperback. It's crazy behavior.

I was happy to see Nesta and Azriel in HOFAS--the only parts of that craptastic book that I managed to read--but SJM made them look less than stellar. Like stupid Bryce who couldn't figure out that Danika's been lying to her for 5 years is just so stealthy and smart that she could steal Azriel's TT, outsmart them all, understand all the carvings on the walls and bypass the beasts? Please. It's so stupid it hurts my brain.

Frankly, they ALL look like losers. Rhys is this unhinged screamer, Azriel is a bumbling idiot, Elain and Feyre don't exist, Amren knows how to read apparently, and SUDDENLY remembers all this info that she somehow didn't share with anyone for the past 500 years, and Cassian who? I think Nesta mildly showed up, but not much.

The whole thing is incredibly frustrating.

And the funny thing is that no one is talking about ACOTAR anymore. I follow a couple of bookish creators, and I've not heard any mention of ACOTAR from them in months. Other than like a vague 'if you liked Rhysand, read this book, because the MMC is even better!'

So I don't know what she and BB are thinking but clearly it's not very wise.
