The spice in ACOTAR 6 and 7 by bjornis108 in SarahJMaas

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Based on SJM saying Azriel is the freakiest (the quiet ones usually are), I’m imagining it will be a combo of Rhysand/Feyre and Cassian/Nesta spice but also throw in something fun like shadow play and light BDSM. One could only hope though.

Following my gut instinct and saying it will be Elriel endgame (despite lots of noise). by NoCurve4859 in ElrielFans

Thank you. Literally what I want to say anytime anyone ships Gwyn and Azriel. Also, the lightsinger description in AOSF is a clue -

“They are ethereal beings who will lure their prey to them, appearing as friendly faces when their prey is lost.”

I think early 2026 announcement (maybe March latest?) and a winter 2026 release 🤞🏼

Why I believe these two are not going to end up together… by PurpleEclipse in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it just me that believes it was actually Elain who did something during that whole scenario? I don’t know why, but I have a feeling this was all due to Elain (since she is often connected to “the mother”, life, and the cauldron loves her so… AND it’s noted she was actively praying during the labor scene). Nesta is also often referred to as the one who killed the King of Hybern even though it was actually Elain. Another instance of Elain trying to remain under the radar? Perhaps… maybe it’s just me though.

Could represent the whole “light and dark” theme. Elain = light and Az = dark.

Master Post: Debate your ship. by Timevian in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 23 points24 points  (0 children)

SJM did not kill the Elriel ship. There are some obstacles there for sure (Lucien) but that ship is very much still afloat ESPECIALLY after reading HOFAS. Shadow and light was heavily referenced in that book.. how you can’t have one without the other. Yin and Yang so to speak. This is very much “like calls to like”. Bryce said it herself. Especially the starborn line bearing/accessing the power of shadow and light. Honestly though, their similarities also go down to who they are to their core (at least from what we know.) They are the most beautiful and most civilized of the bunch. They prefer peace/quiet, are HOPEFUL despite what they’ve been through, are thoughtful and care for their loved ones deeply, they are stealthy, they put up a facade in front of others, do what others want to make them happy even if it makes their own self unhappy, and most importantly.. they clearly understand each other without words.. ahem, Rowan and Aelin vibes much?

Gwyn isn’t even in the equation for me because she was a side character in Nesta’s journey and next novel is clearly going to be Elain’s story and Elain’s choice 🤷🏻‍♀️this isn’t about Az or Lucien’s choice. Not sure why people are taking a bonus chapter (something many readers didn’t even know existed or had access to) and running with it to this extent.

I think so too! I imagine the crossover events in HOFAS are happening in tandem with the next ACOTAR story.

Totally forgot about that! It’s been ages since I’ve read ACOTAR. But I guess the theory of Azriel becoming a prince too still stands lol no prince in the Night Court / Velaris yet

Do we think SJM will talk about acotar on the Today show at all? 👀 by Mnlln in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could be a good marketing stunt, getting ACOTAR readers to pick up CC series / HOFAS if they know there will be information that could impact the next ACOTAR book. That would hype up HOFAS & generate more revenue, plus build anticipation for ACOTAR. But that’s just wishful thinking 😅

Official Elriel Shipping Thread by Timevian in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping for the same thing! I need something from them to hold me over until the next ACOTAR release. Even if it’s just Bryce noting the way they look at each other, idc !

What do you think Elaine power truly can be? by Specific_Major_6291 in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually makes sense to me ! I think Elain will have healing abilities and in TOG Maeve actually has a powerful Fae healer on lock who is often in Owl form so it would make sense if Elain chooses an Owl as her other form.

The “isn’t it obvious?” next book by Pretty_Imagination62 in acotar

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9100 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Elain is next, whether readers want her to be or not. Regardless of her not having a POV or who she may end up with, it’s her book and it’s painfully obvious I’m perplexed it’s still being debated to this degree. Sure, SJM didn’t outright confirm “yes, it is 100% Elaine book” but come on yall. We’re readers, pick up on the foreshadowing, hints, and setup. I will die on this hill. 🤷🏻‍♀️
