#acosf theories

ACOSF SPOILER

I have a theory, so, for everyone who‘s read the book and Azriel‘s POV:

We know how Az is feeling towards Elain & we also know that his shadows were dancing around him, when he spoke to Gwyn.

When Az gave Gwyn’s gift to Clotho it said: „He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to the House proper. How Gwyn‘s teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason… he could see it.“

And then: „But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly.“

I‘m just gonna point out that SJM said „glowed“ & „for whatever reason he could see it“.

So, I‘m assuming that - just like Elain has a mate - Azriel & Gwyn might be mates as well. And I‘m also thinking that Elriel might be the ship that SJM uses to show that you don’t have to be with your mate in order for you to be in love & happy. These two might be the ones not choosing the mating bond, but their love & affection for each other.

But we shall see in future books.
