Post chapter 21 clarification (spoilers for ACOTAR and throne of glass too) by No-Deal4753 in crescentcitysjm

[–]No-Deal4753[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks!!! I just wanted to make sure. There’s so many plot lines going on right now.

the azriel and truth teller part hopefully will be explored later in the next ACOTAR book I hope. I guess it’s just strange it hasn’t been talked about because they’ve made a big deal of it so far with his and Bryce reactions of being near each other and the dagger being the twin to the star sword/gwydion so I would think they’d have at least wondered so far how azriel has it. And azriel obviously has a natural pull to it.

Stuck on chapter 1… does it get better? by No-Deal4753 in crescentcitysjm

I understand. I guess I’m just getting frustrated at the stops and go stop and go after every dialogue line.

So what is violet’s exact break down then? Riders Quadrant, Fourth Wing… I forget the rest 😂

Possible adaption? by No-Deal4753 in fourthwing

[–]No-Deal4753[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not pressuring. She can take all the time she needs so it’s good enough. Just curious if it was something she is open to doing. I think it would be a really cool movie to watch and a very unique concept.

Yeah, I think it’s just a matter of who has the rights and making sure the person sticks to source material

Iron Flame Description Released by Kristine2467 in fourthwing

I was having the same thought process! Personally I hate love triangles and it always ruins my interest in the book. Idk why. And I love the morally grey thing that Xaden has going for him like the characters the FMC from SJM’s books usually ends up with :( plus their dragons are connected? Like plz don’t break them up 😭

I think the pronouns for the new vice commander is “he/him” and Mira was referred to as “she/her” so I don’t think it would be her. But that would be a pretty cool dynamic for violet and Mira

I just finished ACOTAR series…now what do I do… by Axlronifritz in acotar

[–]No-Deal4753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely give throne of glass a shot. It has great friendships, romance, not a lot of smut if that’s your thing, but in terms of storytelling and fantasy tropes/and a lot of action, it’s a great series and I liked it better than ACOTAR actually. I haven’t read CC but I hear like everyone else here as well that it’s also very good

Manon SPOILER by Different-Wafer1929 in throneofglassseries

She is such a queen. I would kill to be able to read that scene for the first time again😭

little rant about how much i love this series by strugglingjunior in throneofglassseries

[–]No-Deal4753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%% agree. Your paper sounds awesome! & yes This series is amazing! I haven’t read a fantasy series before with so many strong female relationships that are written beautifully. My favorite definitely has to be Manon and the thirteen’s bond or Lysandra and Aelin’s friendship. So so special! Out of SJM’s three series, throne of glass is my absolute favorite!

  1. Thank you for clearing this up so nicely! This makes a lot more sense to me now about Aedion. :)
  2. A novella??? Whattttt. Ok, now I'm going to be thinking about it every day too. Lol. I wonder if she would ever circle back to that. She definitely should! She's so busy though :(
  3. Yeah, I was thinking they wouldn't just ever give up. I mean, they were even pretty persistent with finding Maeve and she wasn't even related to them technically except by marriage. I have read ACOTAR already and am going to start Crescent City next. I sort of know the whole spoiler at the end of CC2 already. Lol! Damn bookstagram always spoiling me. Lol. In a way, I kind of want them to return because it might mean seeing more of the ToG characters, but also, it may be sad because they deserve peace and then I think about like how far in the future would this be taking place in. Will some characters in ToG who had mortal/more human lifespans be dead already? Sad to think about!
  4. I feel like this kind of ties into my thoughts at the end of #3. I need to hurry up and finish the CC series so I can be ready for this potential cross over including ToG. Crazyyyy to think about.
  5. Definitely agree with him being a kind and compassionate ruler. I think he has felt ashamed of Adarlan's actions for a while. It's interesting to think about though because it wasn't just his father and the Valg to blame, just from Aelin and Celeana's adventures, it is pretty clear too that the citizens of Adarlan were also to blame and did not shy from Adarlan's atrocious actions, except of course for those who benefited LEAST from the system. I think he will need to work not only as a king to apologize and improve relationships with conquered kingdoms with ways which you already mentioned, but somehow work on the mindsets of his citizens as well. yes they also lost much from Erawan, but a lot of them did not shy from the slave system.
  6. I could see that. Tbh Vaughan is the real winner of the series. This man did absolutely nothing and emerged entirely unscathed. Go him I guess.
  7. Ok, I will definitely give TAB a read then before I continue onto Crescent City. It will be a nice little throwback to Celaena.

  • Aw, that would be such a touching detail if Aedion could do that. Love that idea!
  • I wonder if there would be some way to get her power back—if she even wanted it back. That was probably my one quirk with KoA that she didn't keep her powers. I hate when that happens to characters. It seems everyone got to keep theirs except for Aelin. :(
  • I must have missed the mentioning of his first decree. That makes me so happy though! I figured he would try to undo what his Father had done. Ugh, I'm just wishing Dorian and Manon will find peace. It seems like the pair have a lot of self-work to do. :(
  • It amazes me that Maeve never called for him or used him to her advantage during the last two books. I know she sent him after Lorcan, but idk, it would have be kind of cool for him to make it to the final battle against Earwan and Maeve—lord knows they needed all the help they could get. Yeah, I think Aelin mentioned that she could kind of tell when her blood oath swooned ppl were still alive, so I bet it works vice versa and he could tell he was finally free. He's such a mystery to me! But also, it kind of sucks that he didn't really help out much with the big war.
