UPDATE :: The next book reviews are….

  • The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkin Gilman

It was on my long list of to be reviewed books, mostly because it’s one of my favorites. The books I’ve already read are actually taking me longer to review since I have to go back and read them, but someone in my inbox told me I should review it so it’s the first on my list now to review.

  • The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe

Another short that I absolutely loved, so why not bundle my two favorites to review.

  • A Court of Thorns and Roses Series (1-3) by Sarah J. Maas

I read the series last summer and I have to revisit my thoughts of the series, but I did immensely enjoy them. I’m not reviewing the last book, A Court of Silver Flames, because I haven’t read it, yet and I’m sorta hesitating until the next book is released (Mostly because I hear it might be around Azrael, so might as well bundle the two books together).

  • Throne of Glass Series (1-7) by Sarah J. Maas

literally just finished the last book yesterday and while I did review the first one and wasn’t all that excited to read the rest of the books, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I never doubted Sarah J. Maas (one of the few authors I like off of BookTok), but the first two books were an uphill battle to get through. Though the last books make me emotional unstable…I’ll just save the rest of my comments for the reviews.

“Live, Manon.

Live.”

I loved this piece so much and I can’t say I didn’t cry while painting this lol, i really hope you enjoy and plz don’t kill me for doing this

Rereading Empire of Storms and once again notice a difference between Rowan and Lorcan regarding their paramours… When Elide is close to breaking from despair, Lorcan offers her pleasantries and comforts, the bed, a bath, a tin of salve for her leg. He talks about trying to use kindness to make her want to help him, be grateful to him.

Then there’s Rowan who sees Aelin about to snap and is like “Lol backflip bitch”

Everyone talks about what a cold hearted bastard Lorcan can be, but pre-QoS Rowan is 1000 times more of a prick lol

Rowan: What’s all that smoke in the distance

Aelin: What smoke? I don’t see any smoke

Rowan: Aelin what did you do

Aelin: I have no idea what you’re talking about

Aedion: Hey Aelin that was so bada-

*Aelin glaring at Aedion*

Aedion: Nothing, I saw nothing

Dorian: I love you, witchling

Manon: I suppose you’re tolerable

*Dorian tears up*

Pretty please

This is an ask for my fav ACOTAR/ToG fanfic writers who have seen Gilmore Girls!

Grumpy Lorcan and Elide always reminded me of Luke and Lorlai from Gilmore girls. Can one of you lovely fanfic writers write a fic where everyone thinks Lorcan is a jerk cause he is a bit of a loner and keeps to himself. But Elide worms her way into his seemingly cold heart and realizes that he’s the one that is doing random nice things around town (like fixing broken mailboxes and fence posts and helping old ladies with their groceries) when nobody is looking? Maybe even has done nice things for Aelin and co’s family without them knowing? It’s a small town, after all.

Can also loosely be based of this, put your own spin on it! Its just something that’s been in my head but I am not even close to being able to write as well as all you guys!

I kinda think that that is where @shyvioletcat​ might go in his/her Light The Sparksfic(Elide and that bus stop without the awnings that casually she told Lorcan about) but I could be off the mark on that! If I am, @shyvioletcat​ hint hintttttttt. :D

Anywayyyyyy. No pressure. Just an ask! Hope this blanket ask is okay, I always feel sheepish and guilty about messaging people for this. Here I go! I am tagging the fic writers I know in the Acotar/ToG universe, but totally open to any i didn’t tag and haven’t followed yet!

The Fire-breathing bitch-queen herself clothed in her flames.

I got the idea for this after watching The Ancient Magus’ Bride (highly recommend, by the way). If you’ve seen it you know which scene I mean.

A holiday themed Aelin to go with Feyre. I mainly wanted to draw pretty dresses.

You can find more art on my instagram, at evalesco5

I recently watched the first season of the Tangled tv series and I wanted to try to draw Aelin and Rowan in that sort of style.

I post more frequently on Instagram if you want to follow my art. You can find me at evalesco5

I doodled Rowan and Aelin for Christmas last year, and I was surprised by how popular it was, so I decided to do a nicer version. I meant to have this done for Christmas, but…well, here it is now!

My drawing for the prompt ‘Royal’. I started with the pose and it kinda just screamed Aelin, so I thought ‘why not, she’s royal’. So here’s mermaid Aelin!

Currently rereading every single Sarah j Maas book so I’m refreshed and caught up entirely when I finally read A Court of Silver Flames

Rereading Heir of Fire and read the first time Manon says “from now until darkness claims us” let’s just say I’m in tears. Had to close the book and put it down, I need a moment.

This is a little project I’ve been working on as an acotar/tog crossover. I thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek for if I ever decide to post the full thing. Anyway, you’ll never guess who Fenrys’ lover is. (Don’t tell me I’m weird if you figure it out)

*****

Whimpering, Fenrys put a shield around himself that he knew would do no good, his body shivering as the house shivered. His ears rung with every crash, the grumble bouncing around in his head.

The bedroom door opened. He should have locked it. Should have left before this city of light was torn apart, cast into eternal darkness along with all the people within it. 

“Fenrys?” 

Fenrys squeezed his eyes shut as thunder sent the windows rattling.

Someone was in front of him. Kneeling there. She was using his lover’s voice, coaxing him out only to go for the throat in the next. He knew it. She’d done it before.

“Hey, what’s going on? Fenrys. Look at me.”

No. Because when he opened his eyes, it would be real. She’d take him, thrust him back into a nightmare of her own making.

“Puppy.Look at me.

The pure command in that voice called to him, a shout in the dark. And that name. She didn’t know that name. Only those here, those in the City of Starlight, had ever called that name and only to one would he listen for it.

Quaking, he peeled open his eyes to find a man before him, hands hovering over his body. No. Not hovering. The faint glimmer of gold in the air told Fenrys his shield had worked. 

“There you are,” his lover breathed and the shadows around Fenrys tightened. “Can you put down this shield for me?”

*****

Anyway, let me know if you’re interested and if you have any guesses to who Fenrys’ lover is.

Me: Thanks for starting me on the Throne of Glass series. I prolly wouldn’t have picked it up if it weren’t for you. And now I’m nearly caught up with you on the books. 

Meredith: Well, I suggested you start reading the series shortly after I finished Empire of Storms….I admit I mostly just wanted someone to suffer with me.

Me: …

Me: You’re cruel.

Lorcan: I AM DEATH AND DARKNESS AND DESTRUCTION AND DOOM…

Elide: …Rolled into a smexy body. ;3
