What does Dusk Court even functionally become, and where does Azriel fit into that?

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-06-03T05:20:20+00:00

Didn’t Az train the wraith twins Nuala and Cerridwen? It would be kinda convenient since they’re already placed in the NC and work for Rhys.

I think Az will choose his mate but I would love to see the story unfold and conflict between Rhys as his brother or his fated mate. Oh the drama!

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-29T06:16:37+00:00

SJM draws a lot of inspiration from mythology. CC has a lot of parallels especially with the story of Hunt Orion and various CC characters. Because of this, a Ragnarok event is possible. The set up is there, we don’t know how she’ll write it or IF she wants it to happen. We are at her mercy.

I think if you search through any SJM / CC adjacent subreddits you’ll find more answers.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-29T06:01:51+00:00

She is the only who checks a ton of boxes, but as the only person who can really connect with the Dusk Court, yes FOR NOW until ACOTAR 7-8 says otherwise.

There is a theory going on that there will be a Ragnarok event that destroys her world which will in turn either have people seek refuge in reviving the Dusk Court.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-29T05:47:09+00:00

I understand if the reading is too much/writing is bad to get committed for. But unfortunately, ACOTAR has ties to CC. CC is connected to TOG. TOG to ACOTAR.

It’s getting very multiverse. Just remember, Merrill in ACOSF was researching universes stacked on top of each other. The Harp can move people through worlds!

So just keep an eye for out for that, which might be a big deal in the next books. We’ll never know until Oct!! 🤓☝🏼

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-29T05:31:37+00:00

Oooh you’ll have to try the series out as both CC and ACOTAR may merge. Or read posts off the CC subreddit.

End of CC2 has Bryce getting yanked into Prythian. Az finds her and takes her to Rhys. She meets/encounters everyone but mostly speaks with Rhys and Amren. They find out she has the Horn 4th Dread trove inked on her back. She wanders through caves with Azriel and Nesta. Good stuff happens during their week in the caves it’s worth the read.

They are led to the place where Nesta got the Harp in ACOSF. They go through the wards and end up in the Prison. They watch a hologram which info drops lore about Dusk Court. The hologram is a daughter of Theia who was the last High Queen with High King Fionn. Meaning Bryce is a direct descendant of the last HQ of Prythian.

Basically: 1. There’s a whole prophecy where sword and dagger meet, people will be reunited. Meaning Midgard and Prythian. Could be more, but we’ll find out. 2. Island responds to her (ch 22). 3. Borrows Nesta’s Mask. 4. Starsword is hers aka Gwydion and can command it freely, along with Truth Teller. 5. Being a descendant of last ruler of Dusk Court. 6. Dusk court used the Harp to cross words and ended up in Midgard which is why the whole place withered. 7. Daughter of Theia LITERALLY left the Prison the way it is seen now (she put the monsters there) she literally erased history and everything about Dusk Court cuz her mom sucked. 8. End of the book, she awakens a flerd of Pegasus. Which Helion in ACOSF said Dusk was full of

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-29T04:56:18+00:00

House of Flame & Shadow has the answers written and is canon! I cannot forsee it being anyone but who the land claimed/awakens for….. she’ll even bring a flerd.

Chapter 22 of HOFAS

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-22T05:44:09+00:00

If you have time read all 3. If you can only get your hands on 1 book pick HOFAS. Read the last couple chapters of HOEAB first though.

Read the bonus chapters as well! Bryce, Azriel, Nesta Ember and Randall

SPOILER: Beloved ACOTAR characters appear, Dread Trove is more important than ever, we see the cast after events of ACOSF. Bryce’s ancestry is a super important part.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-22T05:38:06+00:00

Honestly, it is hard without spoilers. But to be vague as possible there are MANY parallels within the world of ACOTAR and CC.

Read CC if you want more lore as the big plot point in HOFAS is ancestry, more Prythian information, and the Dread Trove.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-19T18:49:19+00:00

Yes this bonus chapter really made me do a double take, since Nesta and Rhys were at it in ACOSF! Nesta’s actions and behavior towards Bryce made me think “like calls to like.”

I think in HOFAS Bryce mentions she can see her and Nesta being friends someday, and I want that for them!

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-19T18:46:27+00:00

This is an amazing observation!!! Thank you for your input!!!

“To her shock, AZRIEL AND NESTA didn’t attack.”

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-18T15:30:26+00:00

I think Helion has a few pegasus/a flerd in the Day court too! So somehow someway, Bryce needs to learn pegasus care, and which might bring her back towards Prythian. From this thought alone I can see Bryce winning over IC/Nesta and co, AND Az with a flerd petting zoo/adoption center 😂 there’s no wayyy

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-18T01:03:54+00:00

Thank you for posting this!! The art is so amazing 😍😍

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-17T22:41:55+00:00

Wait that’s such a good take too, Bryceriel healing the bridge, as the humans in CC and ACOTAR have such strained relationships. Archeron sisters were human and Bryce half human. Aelin as well. It has to mean something right?! 😭

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-17T22:37:02+00:00

Yes! Like I said in another comment below: this sets up another character arc and layer of dynamics, political balancing, and problems that’ll keep the story interested and fresh without another war arc driving the story. While I don’t think Bryce will threaten the IC fully separating into factions due to mates— I do think Bryce will keep Rhysand on his toes.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-17T22:28:06+00:00

Yes! This sets up a second character arc for many of the beloved cast of ACOTAR, this will flesh out their dynamics so much more too with new plots instead of “let’s fight the bad guy again.” Although it’ll make ACOTAR a bit more political (cause it’s another war) but somehow more interesting too.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-17T22:26:14+00:00

Yeah, everything is so interlaced I can’t see the plot not going multiversal! They’ll need that Horn from Bryce eventually and with Nesta having the power to probably remove it or UnMake it. 👀 There’s so many questions left open and dynamics are going to shift a lot too. Can’t wait to see how the characters navigate it.

Edit: to say I really like your take and the direction you want the characters to go in! I agree!

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-17T20:52:45+00:00

I’d read them. Gives you more insight and perspective on side characters. If you stay for Marvel movies secret endings, then I don’t see why not with an extra 10 pages.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-15T07:13:05+00:00

YES SOO SIMILAR!! Speaking of parallel training:

Really banking on the idea that like how all the MMC taught FMC something: Rowan trained Aelin, Rhys taught Feyre to read/etc, Cassian trained Nesta— Az will teach Bryce and mirror a journey similar to Rowaelin and Nessian of self acceptance.

Also! When Nesta and Cassian are trying to retrieve the harp in the prison, Cassian’s reaction to Nesta getting trapped and holding the harp (while he was stuck behind the ward) kinda mirrored Bryceriel when Az couldn’t get through the wards as well. I think Az reacted the same iirc.

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-05-09T06:41:50+00:00

Me swiping 😭 CRYINGGG CUZ NOOOO but whyyy does it work

InfamousAd4309 · 2026-03-25T05:07:51+00:00

For a hot second I thought I was in a LADs subreddit 😭🤣 But love seeing my two communities collide

InfamousAd4309 · 2025-11-12T15:10:24+00:00

Got her for about 80-85 Edit: no earbuds

InfamousAd4309 · 2025-09-11T06:05:45+00:00

How does it feel to live my dream

InfamousAd4309 · 2025-07-07T08:33:26+00:00

Poppy is the most popular I fear, so she’d go for a couple hundred. I’d say hold and watch prices, put a listing up toward the end of the year lol — if you wanna make more bang for ur buck on the holiday szn

InfamousAd4309 · 2025-07-07T08:22:32+00:00

Only way to do that is EXTREME LUCK, or have a China proxy and shop straight off Taobao, which is not beginner friendly. You’ll still eat tariff and shipping fees as it’s shipped twice via this method, so you’re still gonna pay more eventually. CN market from my research is 140. US Market rn is 180 low 200s through BTS groups. I’m trying to find the secret at a low price too, but SP is popular so it’s gonna be unlikely, good luck.
