i’ll say this once and once only (who am i kidding i’ll repeat this to my grave and it’ll possibly be engraved on my gravestone):
NESTA ARCHERON IS TOO GOOD FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN RHYSANDS HYPOCRITICAL INNER CIRCLE (MORE LIKE INNER CULT)
i’m sorry but i’m getting the craziest deja vu between how tamlin treated feyre after UTM and how feysand treated nesta in this book (legit same abuse just in different fonts). this is not to excuse nesta’s previous behaviour but like sis was traumatised??? and they wanted her to jump into work as part of their happy little court like her father didn’t jus die in front of her and she didn’t behead a guy?
alcoholism and sex are common ways people deal with trauma… are they the healthiest? no, ofc not but locking her in the House of Wind (idc how pretty her prison is it’s still a prison) is legit equal to tamlin locking up feyre in his manor. she should have been given interventions, of course, and been offered more help but like to force her to train which may have been triggering so soon after the war is fucking evil. and the audacity of mor and amren to suggest even worse locations (the prison and the court of nightmares) like what the fuckkkkkkkk.
everyone in this book showed their true colours and the entire inner cult SUCKS. don’t even get me started on the lack of reading the mf room when feysand built their palace right after a war. moreover why tf does their so called high lord care about nothing else in the night court but velaris ??? they really said fuck illyria and everything else y’all fend for yourselves. and they want him as high king ?? colonising is not the solution for prythian babes and even if a high king was needed rhys would legit be the worst kind ever since he’s so heavily biased towards his little twinkle city. i would take beron over him as high king fr.
anyways rant over but acosf PISSED ME TF OFF. i literally got so mad i had to put it down multiple times. i don’t think i can handle much more of this. since azriel didn’t annoy me as much as the rest i think i’ll be able to handle a book from his POV as long as i don’t have to deal with the rest of his merry men much.
Barnes & Noble Being Sued in Virginia Beach Over GENDER QUEER, COURT OF MIST AND FURY
No longer is this about the rights of students to access books. It’s now about the rights of private businesses to sell books. Anderson suggests this is a new avenue for parents to fight.
“We are in a major fight. Suits like this can be filed all over Virginia. There are dozens of books. Hundreds of schools,” he said.
Holy shit this is a BIG FUCKING WARNING SIGN. Challenges to school and public libraries aren’t cool obviously, but they’re not unusual and we have a framework for handling them. This is something new and alarming in a whole new way
Republican “free speech” y'all and don’t you forget it.
This is a direct challenge to the freedom of the press and if it isn’t struck down at the first hurdle we need to make sure it never sees the second one.
On the miniscule off-chance that anyone who sees my reblog might be thinking “oh, it’s just queer books that they’re trying to ban” - A Court of Mist and Fury is a het romance. It is a het romance containing het sex scenes, written by a straight white woman.
People have been warning all along that the right-wing thought police were never going to stop with queer lit or ‘woke’ lit, and that every time they got an inch they were going to take a mile until they’d banned absolutely everything that didn’t conform to their strict right wing fundamentalist Christian views. If you were waiting for proof of that, here it is.
Republicans are trying to ban Sara J. Maas’s “A Court of Mist and Fury” and the book “Gender Queer” from being sold in Virginia, claiming they are obscene. And they’ve found a judge that might do it for them.
SO AZRIEL IS THE ARCHANGEL OF DEATH? WHY AM I JUST FIGURING THIS OUT? HE’S THE SHADOWSINGER-
Rhys listening to inner circle gossip like:
Aelin on the rooftops of Wendlyn:
Celaena/ Aelin every time a loved one gets murdered/ captured/ mortally wounded
Tell me I’m not the only one who pictures Abraxos looking exactly like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon?? Im mean, they’re both lovable, loyal, flower sniffing beasts that would fight to the death for their rider!
