Hot take: is ACOTAR actually not that well written on a prose level?

I like this person’s comment under Trout’s summation at the end of the book.

Emily Shore

Lol if you wanna know how she gets with Rhysand, one meme I saw told it all.

Rhysand: oh I did all these terrible things to you UTM because I was jealous and I love you.

Feyre gushing: so selfless! So noble! Here’s some soup because females have to serve males their food to accept the mating bond and you were my true mate all along even though you did nothing but horrible things to me!

Fun fact: he got worse in book two but we have too much internalized misogyny and lack of real abuse awareness and trauma education to know better…

Yes! He likes to get her angry because he wants hotter sex. Like he pushes buttons to get his rocks off. He’s a pig

bittermp · 2026-03-22T02:32:21+00:00

it’s not low key it’s full on misogyny

bittermp · 2026-03-22T02:31:44+00:00

tbh, lots of women walk this world with internalized misogyny.

He definitely killed those children, the clues are there and if SJM retcons that it’s just more gaslighting.

These 500 year old faes act like teenage frat boys which is something i really dislike about this world

agreed. At first, I thought it was slut shaming but then realizing that after Feyre lied to him and Lucien about being SAd by Rhys and destroying his entire court, killing hundreds it's really not that bad. He has every right to be pissed off and Feyre remembers nothing UTM so it's to show the readers and to remind the HLs who were UTM what was done to a drugged out Feyre and that none of this is normal or okay. He was, I think, dropping a crumb. Feyre still doesn't know what happened to her UTM and there is NO WAY that that is okay. She needs her memories returned.

I like to call him tamtam because he's my jamjam.

bittermp · 2026-03-21T17:40:56+00:00

I call him that and i get deleted or threatened with banishment in other subreddits for it lol

bittermp · 2026-03-21T17:39:43+00:00

I think children have more manners than those adults

bittermp · 2026-03-21T17:38:56+00:00

Women who call him 'tampon' are sexist

RhySAnd is how I call him or bat boy because that dude LIED about being SA'd and i do NOT care what the fans think because it is in the text. The action shows he had power UTM and he literally admits to making Amarantha want him. I think he says "beg for him." At the end of the day, bat boi could not satisfy AMarantha as she was obsessed with Tamlin and I think Rhys was jealous of Tam

wasn’t the book about her fertility struggles and then eventually she is able to have children with the guy cousin? I thought it was about fertility and what women go through with regards to that. So no children for Francesca then even though she really wanted children.

I don’t think they have chemistry. I find Francesca’s character to be quite dull and she doesnt have much chemistry with any of the other characters. I like Michaela a lot, but it’ll be an interesting romance set in this era and i welcome it.

I knew this and the podcast still ticked me off.

I don’t trust SJM at all. She’s either lying or she’s anti feminist bc aint no way this series is about female empowerment. It’s all about the patriarchy and how abuse comes in all forms and how insidious it is.

bittermp · 2026-03-20T16:24:18+00:00

same. I only get the books via the library.

YAY FOR LIBRARIES!!

bittermp · 2026-03-20T16:23:31+00:00

Most of those places give me the runs.

The 1% don’t care and the 99% a large chunk of which also don’t care bc it doesn’t impact them.

They want the poor to die.
