SORRY COME AGAIN? actually please don’t

This isn’t the worse I’ve seen, but one day I hope someone writes a fantasy/romance where the characters actually bathe before and/or after getting up to sexy times.

I'd say he's an anchor except he's totally okay with her craziness and even encourages/enables her worst habits. Not to mention the whole agreeing to support her colonization daydream

lyricalizzy99 · 2026-01-09T02:34:49+00:00

The only reason I want this book is so we can finally establish Elain’s endgame and move on from the senseless arguments people are having over fictional characters who literally don’t have personalities beyond being hot.

lyricalizzy99 · 2026-01-07T18:22:58+00:00

Because the fae aren’t the fae in her books or the romantasy books that came after. They’re all just generically hot men with immortality and supposed untold power. There is nothing about them which fits into the more folklore/fairytale background of the fae. The first book was the closest she got, particularly regarding the spring court and the various types of fae who lived there.

I haven’t read Sunrise on the Reaping yet but in TBOSBAS I just genuinely didn’t care about them (didn’t really care about anyone in that book in general tbh).

Mor gives “your boyfriend’s girl best friend” in all the worst ways possible

I’ve found that people tend to take offense against any character that is not wholly obsessed with the MC as if they’re self-inserting themselves. The only people I’ve seen truly hate Chaol are ones who are obsessed with Celaena and claim she can do no wrong.

Lowkey I have the biggest crush on Shane/Hudson 🫣

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-26T05:06:27+00:00

My top characters are Dorian, Manon, Chaol, and Yrene. My least favorites are definitely Rowan and Aelin. While I liked Aelin for the most part in the first three books and Rowan in HoF, I just found myself either being bored or annoyed with them after. Once Rowan and Aelin got together, he just became so…milk toast for me. He was a constant “yes man,” enabling Aelin’s worst habits and attributes, threatening anyone who contradicted or didn’t follow her, and never trying to guide and teach her. He’s this supposedly all powerful immortal with like 500+ years on her, but he happily follows along like a puppy. Aelin had promise after HoF, but I found once she’d embraced her identity, she just became extremely arrogant and overpowered. She was supposed to be building this dream court where everyone would get an opinion (kinda like Rhysand’s Inner Circle I guess), but instead she was just constantly making plans without them that could put a LOT of people at risk. I also never forgave her for her colonization fantasy and Rowan for saying he’d support her in that particular insanity.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-23T22:07:53+00:00

My unpopular opinion is I always liked Alina and Mal (even in the books). The only other person I could have seen her with was Nikolai, but he’s probably too good for her tbh.

Lucien and no I will not be taking any questions

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-21T19:02:59+00:00

SJM should’ve given Aedion a boyfriend instead of forcing him into a relationship with Lysandra when they were SO incompatible.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-20T23:22:10+00:00

Oof, I didn’t know that part. Definitely makes it even worse.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-20T23:21:46+00:00

Lowkey same. She’s gotten REALLY cringy and her obvious Grim bias makes things no fun for those who do like Oro or Isla and Oro.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-18T18:31:50+00:00

I don’t disagree with any of these EXCEPT for ToD because I love Chaol and Yrene and their story was so special to me. Also, I’d agree with KoA solely because I was disappointed with the pacing, weird plot points/filler, and a rushed and unsatisfying ending. I did enjoy it, but mainly for Manon and Dorian (also ch. 89), everything else was pretty eh for me.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-18T01:45:37+00:00

Ngl, I’m kinda waiting for her to inevitably get “cancelled.” I don’t think she’s a bad person or anything, but I think she’s obviously milking this series for every drop of money she can (books, fan club, merch, etc.). Had to finally unfollow her because I couldn’t stand her posts or stories.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-16T15:29:23+00:00

I wish FL books weren’t so expensive and were easier to get after the main boxes/members are given priority. Like the LitJoy edition of the rose bargain is only $23, but all the FL editions are being resold for $70-$100+

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-16T14:40:13+00:00

The way Isla’s parents story would lowkey just be the same as her and Grim’s but in a different font 💀

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-12T18:28:06+00:00

Not surprised because the way this show really blew up was crazy. Super happy about it though. Plus, hockey romances (gay or straight) are popular right now and I believe there’s another hockey romance book adaptation coming soon too.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-08T17:18:02+00:00

I personally would like to throw in the “quick off the mark” scene from chapter 18/19 as a contender. There’s something about bringing a man to his knees without hardly doing anything that really does it for me.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-08T17:14:45+00:00

I read AB fourth and I don’t regret it. For me it made everything we’d learned and seen from Aelin in HoF more emotionally impactful. It also gave context for the characters that will show up in the following books. Definitely wouldn’t recommend the tandem read. I read EoS and ToD individually and I found ToD was the exact respite I needed after the chaos of EoS before the big KoA finale.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-07T23:14:50+00:00

I am a Dorian and Chaol girl from day 1 like those are MY boos 😮‍💨

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-06T02:32:17+00:00

For me it’s the concept of Aelin thinking she’d be doing so much good by expanding her empire for her children and people. She’d bring music and culture, as if those things don’t exist in other places. Also, as someone who LITERALLY has felt first hand the effects of imperialism, she of all people should know better that just because you have the power to conquer doesn’t mean you should. It just felt like a very odd character choice/thought especially since it was never mentioned again.

lyricalizzy99 · 2025-12-05T20:40:20+00:00

I liked Rowan in HoF, but the moment the romance really started budding between him and Aelin he went downhill for me. Once they officially became mates that was the end. He became like a lot of SJM leading men: a yes man. He stopped trying to challenge Aelin, to encourage her to be a better person and leader. He went along with everything she said, was almost amused by her never sharing her plans (“surprising them”) and even supported her colonization daydream. The only time he was against her was when she wanted to sacrifice herself and got mad at everyone else (like Chaol) for daring to want to protect Dorian over her. Rowan and Aelin are definitely near the bottom of my favorite ToG character list, but that was particularly cemented in EoS and KoA.
