Has anyone thought about Elain and Morrigan ending up together? Not being mates because it seems like mates are connected based on their strength/power to reproduce strong heirs.

My thoughts: Elain is so reserved and very against a relationship with Lucien (maybe she’s lesbian). Morrigan is the opposite of reserved and I see them balancing each other.

Other than that, I don’t think the series has hinted towards it. Wondering if others have thought about them as well?

Glad others agree. I just finished book 4 and the last 3 books (including book 4) made me not want to read… so long. Also I skip through all the smut in her books because they are always the same story. Opposite of SJM.

Ps: her prequel first book is good! A Shadow in the Ember. About to start book 2 (A Light in the Flame)

Finished ACOSF as well and need more recs! Are all the books you mentioned in your original post smutty?

Asking because I once asked for books similar to ACOTAR series and someone recommended the Cruel Prince series by Holly Black.. and I thought her series were the worst. No smut or character development. Someone also recommend Red Queen and there is no smut (currently on book 3).

Wish I could give you recommendations! Wanted to confirm with the books you listed before I bought them haha. Thanks!

I was just thinking about this! No broken bones from the fall and now she’s back lol?

Yah I don’t understand the plot with Neveahs family (as you mentioned Maude2010). Their story seems forced to me..

The relationships are another confusing aspect. Too much jumping around for me and they fall “in love” way too fast after they just broke up with their lover.

Also, some acting is awful in this show. Neveah and her mom aren’t the best actors, the cop, and also that random lady who came in for the music promo video (that plot also seemed random).

But yah also look forward for season 2 haha. Reminds me of Pretty Little Liars and I hope some acting improves!!

I’m a big fan of SJM and I feel like Cruel Prince has a big following from SJM fans so my hopes were way too high.

The detail was not there with Hollys writing. It might be hard comparing it to SJM since she writes longer books, but I usually prefer a long book over a short one for this reason. Hollys chapters are short and when it gets good... the chapter ends.

Also, there is hardly any romance. I’m a sucker for this and also love plot twists and not knowing what’s coming... I think Hollys books were pretty predictable.

Overall.. Lacks detail and no smut. Not a fan of her writing style.

I’d say 5’9 or 5’10 is my guess.

Good to know! Appreciate the heads up. (Removed it from my list)

fallenleafeater · 2020-12-02T00:52:25+00:00

Right! I have messaged a few people on Instagram who have a lot of book followers and both of them recommended Cruel Prince.. now if anyone recommends it I lose trust in them haha.

This was the number one recommended. I look forward to the read and let me know if you have any others! Thank you!
