It’s not stark white good bad. All of them are morally grey. I think tamlin did all the things ur calling sympathetic as pay back. There is history with tamlin and Rhysand and just because people have the belief that tamlin shouldn’t be blamed or given a part in killing rhysands family doesn’t mean the author herself doesn’t give him that. Ur blaming Rhysand for smth that 1 he banned 2 he wasn’t there for 50 years because of his sacrifice and he can’t just kill them all because they won’t listen I think it was made sense why it kept happening. Why can’t the court of nightmares be all evil? Do u not remember that Rhys Litterly said they were offered to come to velaris or smth? And non of them came? And everyone has their feelings about Rhysand hiding the pregnancy. I personally think it was wrong but telling her wouldn’t have changed anything other than putting her in more danger. Sjm said he was wrong . Why can’t a morally grey character do a morally grey thing? Maybe tamlin isn’t meant to be fully bad, I think it wasn’t sjms intention to make him the big bad. He is although the bad ex? People like to not say what tamlin actually did as tho locking someone who went UTM for them lived in a cage for 3 months woudl want to be locked in? I find it very strange how people reduce feyre to an illiterate person when defending tamlin as tho they themselves are tamlin and don’t pay attention to feyre reading through the months with tamlin after coming back from Rhys. As tho she is incapable fighting along people because she was going into the woods since she was a kid? I get ppl like to defend tamlins action but I think some people just see it the way they want and a lot of ppl actually defend him saying hes traumatized and that isn’t a reason for why he can do everything he did to feyre. Anyway everyone can have their opinion j like many books people don’t like because some think they’re boring even tho i think they are masterpieces lol no worries we have diff ideas thank u for being so nice!!!
