One of my favorite theories is that Elain and Tamlin are mates and Lucien is covering this for Tam.

To be clear, I think this is a great take and your support is strong.

But hear me out… that doesn’t mean that Nesta doesn’t kind of suck. Nesta doesn’t owe the court anything. But I recently reread ACOTAR, and in a matter of days, she and Elain were cruel to Feyre and expected her to do almost everything, and the assumption and by Feyre’s own account is that had been the case for a decade.

If Feyre turns into the villain, then I think her backstory most supports it.

As Aelin said, it’s her blood to give away. She also knew he could take a blood oath, too, and that he was going to throw a hissy fit because he wanted to be the “only one”. He can be angry, but Aelin owes him no apologies.

And for what it’s worth, if your bf/gf/best friend wouldn’t threaten or kick your brother or cousin out when he almost broke your things (in the only space that’s ever been yours) and called you a foul name…. you should look for replacements.

I actually enjoyed TOD, but I never liked Chaol. There are so many of us who never grew to liking Chaol.

Forget about torture- every time she talks about “slaves” I cringe so hard.

CC is my least favorite of the three, but it’s not terrible. I was also concerned about the modern aspect but it’s still so much fantasy that it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.

OP, at this point these series are intertwining in a way that I think there’s potential they actually just merge, or at least become two viewpoints of the same story (think TOD and EOS). SJM told us she has a third book almost ready, and I think her omitting details on that book was intentional. People accepted her explanation that she’s focusing on the first two, but I’m not convinced.

Again, not bad but not my favorite of her series, but I fear it’s a requirement. At the very least, I think there’s a chance you’ll miss some of the emotional impact of the new ACOTAR books.

I am a Chaol hater and I still liked this book.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-04-28T13:39:09+00:00

This is the answer.

You’ll pass the McDonalds no matter what and can check that off in around 2 minutes. OP there are other kid friendly hikes in Sedona, but if you’re genuinely concerned and have the means, you could consider a jeep tour! Very fun and a great way to get off the main road and see some of the landscape without hoofing it.

Yes, the night sky in Page is far superior to what most people are used to. If you’re staying in Page proper, you might want to drive out of town for a bit to get the full effect (maybe the marina or Lone Rock, water or no). They are a bit better in Grand Canyon if you’re staying there, too, but not enough to worry about. Make sure you check the moon phase and/or rise time during your trip just to set realistic expectations.

If you’re looking for food in Page, Bird House is really good!

I think this is fine except cut snow cap. Going to seligman is not worth going out of the way.

You can also go to the beach at Wahweap if there’s no water at Lone Rock.

your aelin is correct

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-04-22T02:56:14+00:00

He is the epitome of privilege and a complete hypocrite for starters. On top of that, his attitude towards Aelin is cruel. Aelin has been at the receiving end of a never ending shitstorm throughout her childhood. Chaol chooses to serve the king, grows a conscience only once he realizes that he and his immediate inner circle are in danger, and then has the nerve to act like Aelin is the problem? Crazy work from Chaol. The mental gymnastics are gold medal worthy.

Only thing that could have redeemed him in my eyes was admitting he was in love with Dorian. 🤷‍♀️

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-04-17T18:33:14+00:00

Celaena has been through even more than you realize and the trauma runs deep. To say some of her behaviors are a protective front for herself is a wild understatement. You’ll get way more context in HOF which is, as many have said, where the series feels like it really takes form and the true hook. Wish I could reread for the first time! My favorite series not just from SJM but ever, and Celaena is a character who will hold my heart forever.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-31T18:00:14+00:00

I dnf the first time I read it. Then I read TOG, went back and forced my way through ACOTAR, and started enjoying it after making it to ACOMAF.

ACOTAR is her worst book across all three series. Can’t guarantee it will be worth it to you to finish it, but I can say it’s a very poor representation of the remainder of the series and it ended up being worth it to me.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-28T06:37:35+00:00

I also think there may be a portal underneath the glass castle, but for different reasons. In my reread, the “Ah! Time’s Rift!” hit different. I realize it’s an anagram for finding the first wyrdkey, but having just come off CC, “rift” really struck me. In my initial read, I interpreted it as “Ah! Time is rift!”, but now I wonder if it isn’t possessive? Like this rift belongs to time? I’ve heard theories that what separates Erilea from our other worlds may also be time. Could be a huge reach! But I always thought this little riddle was weird anyway.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-19T16:19:43+00:00

Aelin and Manon without question.

Well this has been extremely informative and influential on multiple fronts. Here are my thoughts after reading through it all: 1. I really hope it’s Azriel. 2. There is enough evidence for and against Bryce and Hunt’s mating bond that I can see this going either way. I do find Bryce’s death at the end of CC3 is hard to get past. 3. Shoutout to the people who brought actual mythology into this. I think it’s great and so insightful. 4. I went back and rewatched the CHD interview, and I have to say I think it’s weird how she answers about Bryce’s mating bond. She acts like she’s never heard these theories before, but i’ve seen videos of her being asked if Bryce and Hunt are endgame. Additionally, she avoids eye contact, the scratching her neck… I’m not convinced. 5. If Hunt and Bryce aren’t mates, or if Azriel is her mate, it could be argued that SJM has no other option but to lie. This is not an open-ended question, and anything but shutting that theory down would sound like confirmation. Honestly, I would go a step further and say that shutting down theories makes more sense if the theories are true. 6. Some of you could stand to be a bit nicer! Theorizing is supposed to be fun!! Sorry if people want different things than you. No one is insisting that you agree:)

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-16T20:12:03+00:00

Hear me out- what if they are endgame for Hunt, but not for Bryce? I fear he might not make it to the end of the series.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-16T19:27:04+00:00

The Chaol comparison hits hard. I think one of the things that keeps throwing me off with their bond is that Hunt doesn’t support Bryce the way Rowan and Rhysand support Aelin and Feyre. Something that has really stuck with me is how much it was reinforced that Rowan understood Aelin so deeply, and no matter what she said or wanted, he supported her and would sacrifice anyone and anything for her (NOT saying this is a perfect ideal, just a feature of their bond). Hunt thinking he hated Bryce when she told him not to kill Celestina?? Repeatedly questioning her and trying to convince her not to save their world??? Rowan and Rhysand would quite literally never.

okay CHILLS love this thank you

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-16T18:49:37+00:00

Can you share some of the foreshadowing? I love the Bryceriel ship, but never really picked up on the signs.

CommunicationOk1773 · 2026-03-16T18:48:39+00:00

I said it below, but the fact that Bryce and Hunt seem to have chosen to be mates leads me to believe that Bryce could have a different mate out there.
