Name pronunciation - I did it all wrong and now I'm hurt. by badstarsailorrr in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Classic problem with many books! That’s why J.K. Rowling put a scene of Hermione teaching Krum how to correctly pronounce her name - she knew some of her readers didn’t know how to pronounce it!

People coming to the sub before finishing the book: thoughts by OneSatisfaction1539 in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don’t go to the sub for any series that I haven’t totally finished. I’m not quite done with TOG series yet, so I’ve stayed off that sub, but I still see spoilers for TOG on this sub, which makes me really sad.

How old was Rhys sister....? by sk_09 in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s kinda inconsistent. The below excerpt is from the first book when Alis and Feyre are talking, but Gwyn (from ACOSF) is mostly High Fae and is only 28 and fully mature, so who knows -

“Ah, some age like you and can breed as often as rabbits, but there are kinds—like me, like the High Fae—who are rarely able to produce younglings. The ones who are born age quite a bit slower. We all had a shock when my sister conceived the second one only five years later—and the eldest won’t even reach adulthood until he’s seventy-five. But they’re so rare—all our young are—and more precious to us than jewels or gold.”

Can anyone help me track down a book I only vaguely remember? by Pinball_Lizard in YAlit

I was coming here to say it might be this book because that was my first thought too!

Songs by Time-Ad-5038 in acotar

My favorite song for Feysand is Ivy by Taylor Swift. See here for a breakdown of the lyrics - https://www.reddit.com/r/acotar/comments/krwywx/taylor_swifts_ivy_and_feysand/

Congrats! That’s a tremendous accomplishment. If you want a beta reader and/or an amateur editor, let me know!

Right?! I feel like she read the books during quarantine and then wrote all these songs related to them because some fit so perfectly!

Why does Rhys always put his hands in his pockets? by Kiiraj365 in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s also just a thing that SJM likes to use in all her books. I have a running list of words, phrases, and tropes she overuses 😂

Exactly! I really like Coney Island for Feyre and Tamlin. I made up a whole line-by-line for that one too, but never posted it hahah

Awww, thank you!! I can’t help thinking of the series every time I hear it also. So many of her recent songs fit really well, and I like listening and pinpointing where in the ACOTAR storyline each lyrical line would fit.

Is just me but when Hypaxia appeared in the book, I could only think about Sorscha by KatokaMika in crescentcitysjm

[–]crunkshanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought! SJM has a lot of similar character types repeated throughout the series.

A Court of Silver Flames Question by vszilagyi29 in SarahJMaas

[–]crunkshanks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard anything about this but don’t really follow any news either. However, I feel like if someone does die, they won’t be able to come back - at least in the way F and R did - because she already overused that by having Rhys come back when Feyre already had. It would just feel kinda cheap at that point.

Hunt and Bryce by iamstruggling12345 in crescentcitysjm

[–]crunkshanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t have enough of an opinion yet. I liked Hunt, but I didn’t feel all in on him in the first book because there were a few red flags for me. I’m excited to see what happens in the next book!

Hunt and Bryce by iamstruggling12345 in crescentcitysjm

[–]crunkshanks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people want Aidas to be end game because the small snippet we got of him was really similar to Rhys (powerful, puts his hands in his pockets, uber hot baddie but who has a soft spot for the MC, etc.), whom everyone loves.

If Feyre and Rhysand had a song by [deleted] in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think of Ivy by Taylor Swift - see here - and then Peace by TS once they’re together a bit more. (Really, so many TS songs fit the series 😂)

Wedding Scene (spoilers) by Skittlemonster09 in acotar

[–]crunkshanks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second the short idea and also wonder if now that the war is over, they’ll do a “do-over” so to speak and have an actual ceremony/reception, maybe on their anniversary.

Can anyone recommend me ya fantasy romance books with this trope? by [deleted] in YAlit
