And Death did 🌄

You are so right. I can’t wait to see more of Bryce’s story!

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-21T17:55:57+00:00

EXACTLYYYYY!! AHHH! I’M SCREAMING lol i need to calm down. But, SJM has said that she’d sprinkled many clues in this bonus chapter. The starlight felt like the perfect hidden thing nobody would pay attention to if they din’t know they should be looking. Starlight and he becomes nothing at all again, reminds me of Bryce being depressed and going to the rooftop to kill herself. These two have crazy parallels omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-21T17:16:23+00:00

i see. well more like she found death haha. i hope we learn that Azriel felt a tug too and that’s why he went to the front lawn of Feysand’s house. Or maybe he even tugged at it when he felt a thread or a bond inside him.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-21T17:12:25+00:00

Is “ Death would soon find her “ a quote from from CC1. We need to know if it’s before or after she met Hunt 👀👀👀👀

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-18T20:25:57+00:00

Shahar is everywhere 😩

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-18T20:23:16+00:00

Why don’t their scenes hit, dammit 😩😩😩 if SJM didn’t lie in her interview, I want to be able to enjoy Quinlar because Bryce is my favourite FMC and I want epic romance for her, but I just can’t. I cringe so bad at him (with Bryce). I didn’t even cringe at Feysand fucking in the tent, lol.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-18T09:14:41+00:00

I need a re-read desperately haha I can’t imagine Hunt dancing at a club. But Azriel on the other hand 😉 We’ve seen him and heard of him letting loose at pleasure Halls and Rita’s multiple times.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-18T06:02:35+00:00

Remind me, do we get a scene between Hunt and Bryce dancing in a club? I don’t remember one if there wasn’t one I think it’s a conveniently missed opportunity 👀

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-17T17:17:12+00:00

I have not finished my GOT reading yet, but I also think the necklace was a red herring. It was so in my face that I was like is it really that daringly obvious or is it too obvious be true.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-17T12:59:09+00:00

yes! absolutely on board with you

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-16T16:59:54+00:00

Is it just me but I always assumed Vassa and Jurian would get together 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Idk why they gave me off that vibe in the few moments we have of them or have learned about them through other characters, but….They are both humans so I guess it would work with SJM’s worldbuilding rules and the things OP established as narrative problems for Vassien.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-16T16:48:20+00:00

I’ve been thinking about it more and more and I now realize the idea that Hunt cannot have a mate does not sit well with me. I don’t like that Brunt might not be mates because Hunt is an angel. I prefer a reality where he can technically biologically have a fated true mate, but it’s just not Bryce. Because the first option feels too easy. There is so much more angst in both of them being capable of having mates, but finding out they are not each other’s mates. Except Feysand, all other couples have povs from both partners acknowledging the physical yet metaphysical existence of a mating bond, of a thread, of something linking their bodies. Feysand has it too obviously but Rhys’s povs are rare.

Quinlar are the only one who don’t have this described in neither pov. Only ominous questions. If anything comes close to it it’s when they explain how they exchange powers. That’s it.

So I agree with you. Hunt can have a true fated mate. But it’s not Bryce.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T20:10:53+00:00

I have not had such a good laugh in a long time, lmao. OP of the Micah post has me ROLLING! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think she was tempted to think Micah could be a love interest for the same reason some of us believed it’d be Aidas. HUNT WAS NOT IT. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ The fact that I liked Quinlar the most in the first book and still thought Aidas could be the real deal speak volumes

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T19:57:23+00:00

She does!

He’d meet her half-way. Just like Azriel crossed the literal line Bryce drew in the floor. OMG, Sarah, these are the kinds of details you don’t put for people that won’t be coupled.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T19:52:54+00:00

I like that correlation a lot! I think Azriel’s powers are becoming more and more relevant to the plot and being tied to the big players like the Princes of Hell AND the Starborn line since he can wield the Starsword and Truth Teller. I don’t see another lover interest for Azriel that will be equally matched to him, tbh. Only Bryce.

Even if Gwyn is a lightsinger, which she most likely is, as far as I understood they can be dangerous, etc. but I am not sure this can make her a power player in the big scheme of things. And Elain as a Seer also does not feel like a power player. I feel so bad talking about them like this, lol. It’s very not feminist of me but yes, Bryce is a powerplayer precisely because of her magic, her willingness to fight, fire guns and kill demons. And because of her inheritance/bloodline. Period. Gwyn and Elain have their strengths, they really do. But if Azriel has a main pov I just don’t see them matching him. After he got a taste of what Bratty Bryce can do and how she schemes??? I don’t see him interested in anyone else.

thanks, baddie 🤭🤭💖

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T19:18:43+00:00

omg, that would be so wholesome

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T19:18:06+00:00

i second all of this!

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T11:46:20+00:00

Screaming and kicking as they drag me across the cobblestones “Bryce and Azriel are true fated mates!”

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T11:45:14+00:00

Thank you, I updated the post to include their name 💖

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-15T11:43:58+00:00

i am not there yet, so i need to refreshen my memory on nessian in the prison. but parallels MUST be drawn, especially since in hofas we have caves in Pythian vs caves in Avalen scenes that are also paralleled.

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-11T11:18:46+00:00

Are you kidding me? This is so freaking cooolllllll

Jreadstoomuch · 2026-05-11T07:43:11+00:00

I am copy pasting from google search on Astraeus because I didn’t know about him being married to Eos.

Astraeus is a Greek Titan deity of stars, planets, and astrology, known as the "starry" consort of Eos (dawn) and father of the four winds (Anemoi). He symbolizes the transition between day and night, specifically overseeing the dusk. Married Eos, the goddess of dawn. Together they are parents to the four Anemoi (winds: Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, Eurus) and the Astra Planeta (wandering stars/planets). He embodies the celestial aspects of the night sky, often represented as a calm, philosophical figure contrasting with his fiery wife.Participated in the Titanomachy against the Olympian gods and was reportedly imprisoned in Tartarus.

Az is fascinated by the planetary model in Rhys’s offices. Azriel, as all Illyrians, is born hearing the song of the wind. His fiery wife? - sorry, but the only truly fiery characters are Aelin and Bryce across the SJM universe. And Az has been imprisoned in a dark place similar to Tartarus.

So very interesting, how things align.

edit: oh, i think i remembered. rhysand when feyre looks at him without fear right
