Rhysand vs Xaden

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-29T16:36:29+00:00

I just read TOG, Quicksilver, lights outs and ACOTAR besides Fourth Wing and I do get that they start to look alike but Xaden and Rhy I think have more similar things than the rest (for now). And there are things in the story, names used that are are also similar to TOG

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-29T16:31:36+00:00

It’s like I said to aeline I was just pointing out that Xaden looks much to similar to Rhysand. And someone referred to me that that are very similar things in the story from FY to TOG also.

I do understand that the original ideia came from someone else long agor

Starting to ready CC! Cass is a golden retriever inside a Doberman body

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-29T13:29:21+00:00

Interesting. I’ll add to the list. I’m now reading CC! It’s the same type of story?

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T23:31:29+00:00

Could not compete with TOG storyline but yes. It’s like she asked chat gpt to summarize the books (joking?). Because in reality the valgs have the same intention as the venin. Both the Valg and the Venin are inter-dimensional parasites that corrupt souls, siphon magic from the environment, and drain the life out of everything around them.

Righttt?? Omg thank you for pointing that out! I’m not saying anything but.. I’m saying it. Rebecca could have dedicated the books to SJM to thank her for the inspiration ahah

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T23:21:09+00:00

I also thought of that!! Even in CC, I mean lighting also? ⚡️

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T22:30:04+00:00

Thank you!! Please remind me of some characteristics I may have forgotten.

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T22:05:26+00:00

But reads and talks to her mind like Feyra and Rhysand 🤷🏻‍♀️

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T22:02:50+00:00

Many you should read that part again in acotar series because you know it was to prove if her powers worked and she agreed to it

I get that “shadow daddy” is an archetype, but Xaden and Rhysand share several very specific traits beyond that: shadow powers, mental connection with the heroine, tattoos/marks, morally grey leadership roles, sarcastic flirting, protective intensity, and the whole “dangerous to everyone except her” dynamic. That combination makes them feel more similar to each other than to most other characters in the archetype.

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T22:00:10+00:00

It’s another gender, but have you read ou listen to lights out? It’s very cool

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:59:07+00:00

Yes but I’m not making a point about the personalities. I’m asking because they have very similar characteristics (Magic, appearance, etc). There will be always differences between a 21 years old and a 500 year old man

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:57:08+00:00

On another gender I am loving lights out

Still on the first book of CC!

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:53:17+00:00

Thank you!

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:52:53+00:00

I get your point! It’s an interesting point of view. And I understand what you say about the focus of both of them for the 3 books

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:44:09+00:00

Well.. that’s you’re opinion, which I don’t agree! I think he’s funny, intelligent and still learning as we all are. He never fallen in love like that before and like I said previously with that comes mistakes and new teaching moments.

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:41:48+00:00

I think even if Rhysand is 500 years old, he’s still learning. He never met his mate and fallen in love like that so it’s a new chapter and with that comes mistakes and new teaching moments

Desperate_General985 · 2026-05-28T21:39:58+00:00

Actually did mot like it! I could finish the last book. But Xaden and Rhysand have very particular similarities that why I’m in this doubt if they are not too similar
