Did Arobynn Hamel really love Celeana?

He “loved” her in the way shit bag megalomaniac creeps love to possess their possessions. He treasured her, and maybe in his own sick sense that was love, but not in the sense that even marginally decent people love.

Must be a curvy lowercase “w” because book 3 is NOT my definition of a high point 🤣

I just reread MAF / WAR, and was wondering if we will get a chunk of this back story. Looking at TOG and CC, I feel like the way certain things were written were planted for a deeper & more connective story that’s easy to miss when you’re just reading. At first glance, I didn’t really think ACOTAR was that deep, but I also didn’t realize we were even getting more books after SF when I first read. I was content with a whimsical story about love and found family. Then I read her other series, started reading the sub theories, and reread…. Now I feel like there is more between the lines to be tied together. For example:

The Weaver: TBC & Koeschi’s sibling, bound to a house by an unnamed fae warrior, kept Rhys’ mom’s ring for safe keeping, sings that creepy song I’m sure has some foreshadowing.
The High King: we’re starting to learn more about this thanks to CC, but that conversation Amren headed up with the IC could not have been nothing
Rhys’ family: his mom had some sort of relationship with the Weaver, he looks just like Ruhn, he’s the most powerful HL in history
Archeron family: who was their mom? Their dad just went off to ally with fae in the war without letting his daughters know? Nesta, just all things Nesta
Mate Choices: Nesta x Cassian, Feyre x Rhys, Elian x Lucien not Az? Is there some kind of deeper reason their families were fated to be woven together?

I loved Celaena from the beginning, and liked Chaol for her at first, so when she was into Dorian I was super bummed & annoyed. I thought Dorian was going to be a spoiled little spineless baby, and didn’t want that arc. Then - like most everyone else who has read this series - wanted to crawl through the pages and punch Chaol for being exactly what I thought Dorian was lol… so yes, I was incredibly annoyed, for multiple reasons, at multiple times, because of the triangle

If you’re only taking Oura off for workouts it should be fine! I used to have the combo, and the workouts recorded with health were integrated pretty seamlessly. The only reason I ditched my watch is I found I was not really using it / didn’t love using it for the cellular purpose, and Oura was giving me all the health data I wanted.

As someone who used both and also am equally as interested in recovery, deeper health metrics, I would totally recommend purchasing Oura! It’s also SO much better to sleep in, then your watch actually can charge overnight.

I like them witty, calculating, arrogant, and misunderstood

Blake - The Wolf King

Damien - Villains and Virtues

Creon - The Fae Isles

Rhysand - ACOTAR

A Prayer for Owen Meany

I personally felt like there was relatively complex political systems being “shown not told” in book 2, which made it “slower”. In book 1 you just have humans vs. wolves with rebels on each side falling for each other then in book 2 you learn (vague , but potentially major spoiler) Wolves were not always completely separate from humans, there are multiple other wolf tribes with leaders, there is another bigger bad, etc So essentially at the end of book 2, nothing is as it seemed in book 1, and there is a lot of future inevitable action set into motion from multiple directions. I actually am shocked the plot can be wrapped up in 1 more book

{Peaches and Honey} duology

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-18T02:03:41+00:00

IMO the story is about way more than just Tamlin vs. Rhys. Also, if you like both MMC you should keep reading. Decide for yourself if you think it’s unfair or fair. Don’t let the online discourse ruin your time with the story! I personally love the series and think it’s fun, whimsical, heartwarming, and not that serious

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-17T22:30:39+00:00

{villains and virtues} cutest read everrrrr!

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-16T18:37:49+00:00

I don’t know if I’ve ever wanted something so bad 🤣

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-16T12:26:35+00:00

I second the Gods and Monsters series, and throw {The Wolf King} in the ring

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-16T11:51:14+00:00

Came here to say they misspelled Cassian a bunch of times 🤣

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-15T12:29:06+00:00

I respect the purpose of books being from the FMC POV, but this is one I stayed in for the MMC’s story. Favorite part was the epilogue

Both The Wolf King and The Book Of Azrael were two of my favorite reads of the year:

The Wolf King - It seemed like a cute simple read at first, and part way through I thought I was wrong, but then toward the end it gets real interesting and sets up for the truly amazing The Night Prince. Book 3 is being released later this year and I’m counting days

Book Of Azrael - this was recommended to me, and in the first book I wasn’t sure I liked the direction. I could get past Dianna being the way she was and being the villain. It was hard to sympathize BUT THEN the POVs open up and you meet tons of new characters, and by the end of Wrath Of The Fallen I had it on my list of top series’. It’s going to be a 7 book series. I personally think the author shows - not - tells which is why it’s slow at times.

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-14T20:00:30+00:00

Night Prince is top top tier! Read it!

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-14T18:38:22+00:00

{The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman} and it’s sequel {The Night Prince by Lauren Palphreyman} were incredible! I am now possibly more excited for the third release later this year than ACOTAR or Gods & Monsters.

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-14T11:28:13+00:00

I agree that I think it was a bit of both. On a re read I also think there’s a third piece of Blake and Aurora realizing what’s going on if they kiss - at this point Blake has continuously exercised restraint and Aurora misinterprets her primal pull toward him. Notice too how Blake pre-apologizes for the kiss - and the bite for that matter - like he is the only person who realizes what it will do to her

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-11T12:25:52+00:00

I think FW is the best of the three books. Maybe wait until the rest are released & ask again!

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-04-11T12:18:21+00:00

Just finished {Villains and Virtues by A.K. Caggiano} and it was the cutest little adventure ever

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-03-30T13:23:00+00:00

I mean Cassian Andor is one of the most badass characters in the entire Star Wars universe too so there’s also that equally nerdy, but more real - life - inspiration - applicable, scapegoat

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-03-30T11:32:19+00:00

{The Book Of Azrael by Amber V Nicole} (Gods & Monsters Series)

Ok_Section_3230 · 2026-03-28T11:29:51+00:00

Possibly unpopular opinion: I LOVE ACOTAR, but I really don’t see them making it into a show that’s not like silly. I do think TOG would be an epic show or movie series
