Society if Whistlepaw was the 3rd pov character in ASC instead of Nightheart and Sunbeam’s character arc could properly be about her and Berryheart

havent read the book yet but so excited to see him

dude nightheart and sunbeams entire relationship is so funny. if I felt like digging through other books id make a compilation of these moments. No, Nightheart will not be by Sunbeams side to help her through the invasion of ShadowClan. Nightheart will almost get violently executed in RiverClan, and Sunbeam will only show up after the problem resolved itself (off screen). Sunbeam doesn't even feel like grieving with him around.

this entire arc, every major problem required them to ~sadly~ separate, and then reconvene for some generic niceties after its all over. I really thought, at bare minimum, the reason that kept happening was going to accumulate in them doing SOMETHING major together in the climax of this final book, like, 'something something our relationship can survive all the plot inconveniences that kept us apart bc this event proves why we're stronger as a team blablabla'

but no girl, their asses are NOT stronger together, they are not supporting each other through anything, they are not working together to accomplish a single goal. right to the end, every one of their greatest physical/emotional trials must be done separate

like. like it's incredible. the most go girl give us nothing relationship development of all time. i cant even find it in me to be mad. they are so lame it loops around into comedy. is this a prank why did they write it like this help

So talks with the probable mother-in-law are going great, I see

more asc :) no spoilers this time!

[angsttronaut]

I don't think they will, but I'm really hoping the Erins drop each arc having 3 POV characters who get equal amounts of screentime in each book. A Starless Clan could've been a lot stronger if Frostpaw had got more screentime, with Sunbeam and Nightheart getting less chapters (tbh I think you could get away with cutting out Nightheart POV entirely).

Zoya is clearly set to parallel Darkling though. They even spell it out.

How?

She's an ordinary powerful Squaller, who's given power beyond measure. Her adolescence is spent in comfort of Little Palace, so she takes that possibility away from other children. She's rash, cruel and arrogant, yet people are lining to kiss her shoes. She never shows a single quality a leader should possess, yet somehow she's VOTED a Queen in hereditary monarchy...

While the Darkling was born a Shadow Summoner- unique, immortal Grisha. Huge chunk of his life, especially youth was spent on the run, with no security, not even a roof over his head or food in his belly guaranteed. No reprieve, because laws didn't protect Grisha in any way. He's immensely patient, determined, completely disregarding his own well-being as long as it serves his goal. He shows empathy even towards those, who harm him. He doesn't care about who or what people are, only if they're capable and reliable. If he can't prevent it, he makes sure their suffering counts. After centuries of servitude and setbacks, he decides to take matters in his own hands, prepares a Coup, and eventually gets on the Throne. All we know about his reign, is that he listened to his subjects' concerns. Despite all of the above, he's constantly viewed as unnatural, suspicious, bloodthirsty and/or straight up evil.

Zoya didn't end up repeatedly maritally raped as a child bride thanks to the Darkling's law. She got education and opportunity to work on herself in relative prosperity thanks to the place he built from nothing, a privilege he earned through his service. She stole more power from others without thinking half a step ahead, while on a journey he arranged. Her beef with him stemmed from too little attention she somehow felt entitled to, and the fact HER people died due to their own actions in aftermath of his military move. She has him tortured and he hands her the crown.

Remind me again, where are the parallels?
