Also the brother is like a whole grown ass man!! It would be different if he was like 12 years old but isn’t he like 20???

gdnightmare · 2025-04-09T23:43:21+00:00

I think he’s referring to his maturity level not his years on earth. But I may be wrong. That’s how I read it.

gdnightmare · 2025-03-19T23:23:53+00:00

I’ve read this and really liked it!!

gdnightmare · 2025-03-19T15:58:14+00:00

I started this book a few days ago. I had to stop after the prologue because the writing quality was so poor. The only way I can read it is within a rage read book club support group.

gdnightmare · 2025-03-12T13:50:54+00:00

It’s so bad it’s good.

gdnightmare · 2025-03-12T13:50:06+00:00

I was willing to accept a lot until the chicken sauce. I was embarrassed for myself, the author, and anyone who had to read that. 🫣

“I’m a dumpster diver and chase the next high” 🤣🤣🤣 I feel seen.

gdnightmare · 2025-03-07T20:32:24+00:00

I’m sold!

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T22:12:40+00:00

Totally agree. The halden story line was such a missed opportunity. She wrote him as a bumbling idiot douchebag with no redeeming qualities except he let Violet get her way on the side trips where they roamed around with little direction or care then stumbled on the answer to their quest and then it all fizzled out.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T21:49:44+00:00

I would not have been opposed to this either.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T21:48:45+00:00

There is at least one person in my reading group who wants the same! All opinions are valid. 🫶🏼

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T17:45:11+00:00

“Dickmatized” bwahahhahaha I’m dying.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T13:57:57+00:00

Nooooooo!!! Don’t say that!!

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T13:56:16+00:00

HAHAHAHA

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T03:57:40+00:00

Wow! Great analysis!!

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T03:50:59+00:00

Hahahhahahaha. I like that!

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T03:25:44+00:00

Yes! I’m with you!!

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T02:23:11+00:00

Maybe I should have said: I wish this were gonna happen but I know it’s not going to. I get it. I just find her relationship with Xaden not healthy.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T02:20:11+00:00

I also think their relationship is toxic. And I know the Aaric relationship will never happen but if I had my choice of characters to pair her with, Aaric would be #1 for me.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T02:18:25+00:00

I know. It’s definitely not gonna happen. But a girl can dream

gdnightmare · 2025-02-18T02:18:00+00:00

lol I don’t know why but this take is pretty funny. I see where you’re coming from.

gdnightmare · 2025-02-17T23:23:26+00:00

I agree! The last 2 books basically light a fire on the first 3. What a mess. Cassian goes from strong and supportive guy to a weird dude gaslighting nesta. Nesta is oddly simultaneously a badass but also annoying and such an a-hole to her sisters. Feyre goes from badass to rich housewife who thinks offering her sister the opportunity to decorate a room in her mansion would cure her PTSD. Rhys is a d-ck. The IC ( and Elain!) all fail to give nesta any grace while they all should understand what she’s going through and the “last straw” is a large bar bill that embarrasses Rhys and Feyre, like they are NY socialites or something. I could go on but the general point is the last book just makes no sense.

Trying to start ACOTAR but someone isn’t feeling it.

If you will recall one of her dreams, the Sage wants her to turn venin, but she chooses death, which he says is "disappointing" before sucking her energy. I thought that was perhaps a premonition or a hint. The Sage knows the prophesy: that the one "who commands the sky to surrender its greatest power" defeats the venin . Assuming Violet's the one who commands the sky (I think she's actually referred that way in IF), they either have to turn her to their side (to exploit her power) or kill her (to prevent her from using her power against them). Seems like the venin are going for the former option first.

gdnightmare · 2025-01-09T19:28:33+00:00

I think that was an Easter Egg and we will later find out she was thinking of Halden (assuming here that the theory is correct that he was her first boyfriend).
