ACOWAR discussion

Contains SPOILERS!!!!

I cannot contain myself just wondering if anyone finished reading it and if they agree or disagree with any of my following thoughts:


a. Why do I like Azriel with Elaine better than Lucien?
b. why does Nesta annoy me? I get it, she's hot headed and prideful but can she show *some* humanity towards Cassian a little bit more than the little itsy bitsy scraps we got??
c. I felt that Mors story was a curve ball that I would have never guessed since in ACOMAF she had chemistry and was attracted to Azriel but I guess...
d. Armen should have died in the end. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she lived but it was necessary to sacrifice someone from the squad, I mean, this was war... only trying to be realistic. I would have been fine with it, mourned her, and then moved on.
e. I thought there was gonna be more Rhys POV instead of just two--prologue and epilogue, but in happy with the little we got. Would have liked to hear his POV more.

Oh and any other thoughts and predictions you've seen are welcomed here! No criticisms on observations!! Just honest reactions to the plot!

a. YES ME TOO. But maybe because Elain is a shadowsinger too? She came out of nowhere during the scene with the King. Or was it because of Azriel's sword??

I'm kinda scared about Feyre and Rhys's bargain with each other. Hope they'll keep it a secret or else enemies will just target one of them. It's hitting two birds with one stone.

I really hope we will still get Feyre and Rhys's POV but I'm so excited if it'll be Lucien's or Cassian's!!

A. YES! But maybe that is also to that the mating bond isnt always right.
B. Nesta is jus too much, give the people a break. I was especially pissed when she only showed emotion to Feyre when she comes back from saving Elaine. Feyre always sacrificed for them, kept them alive. And it took nearly loosing her life TO SAVE THEM for Nesta to show gratitude.
C. Nope. Mors story sucked. No sense to it. She has been stringing him along for 500 YEARS?? Just to say you like girls?? He has risked his life for her NUMEROUS times. She knows how he feels. And everyone is just waiting for them to "get it on" to see if the mating bond snaps in. I love Mor, but this is just WRONG.
D. I never doubted Amren. She deserved to live. The all deserve to live. They have all been through so much hurt, Rhys gave up too much to protect them, to loose anyone of them.

E. Yes, but now maybe we will get a book from Rhys's POV (please please I need him in my life!!!!)

I loved how Feyre just grew. I loved her story arc. Super kick ass Queen!

d. I understand where you're coming from but I'm also really excited that she returned. I'll explain why, people have always seen Amren as somebody that didn't belong in Prythian, as an 'outsider'. Lucien explained that he heard stories about Amren as a monster. She had different powers and nobody truly knew what she was even though she looked like high fae. The fact that she now truly is high Fae is so interesting in my opinion. She gave up a piece of herself, a piece of her identity because she loved the inner circle. And I hope that in the next books we'll be able to see her training and discovering her new powers. I think it will be such an interesting story and I just love her so much.

c. I actually really liked Mors story and I understand why she kept it secret. We all know how fragile Azriel is and how much he loves her, she just couldn't break his heart like that. Nobody knew and that may seem weird because they knew each other for so long. But if you think about it it's not that strange, everybody had secrets. Rhysand told Feyre things that he had never told anybody before.
Another thing that made more sense to me after Mors 'confession' is why she was so devastated by te fact that Keir would have access to Velaris. It was her safe place where she went after she was engaged to Eris, slept with Cassian, we all know the story.
Seeing her family reminded her of the forced engagement, the fact that would have never been able to make her family happy even though they were horrible to her. She would never have children if she married a woman and that was not accepted. I don't know, to me the story just made sense and I loved the fact that there was more diversity.
I feel like a lot of people will be able to relate to this and I love that. That there is a character that they can relate to. I think that's really important.

(Oh and I loved the wife of the high lord of winter. I though they were so cute together and it just gave me all the feels.)

SPOILERS

a. YES omg I really like Azriel with Elain? I think this is because we have more Azriel and Elain moments to begin with while the farthest we get with Lucien is “you’re my mate”. Not to mention Feyre is totally an Azriel and Elain shipper and we’re reading from her point of view.

b. Nesta low key annoys me too. I’m okay with her coldness but just the fact that Nesta treats Elain like her sister and Feyre like an acquaintance she can’t get rid of pisses me off. I personally hate it when one sibling is loved more than the other. I get that Nesta protects Elaina more—Feyre doesn’t really need that protection as much—but would it kill Nesta to be a little bit more considerate?

c. I would’ve never expected Mor’s story either. The only thing I have to say about it is that I’m surprised she hasn’t told anyone in 500 years? That’s such a long time for such a big part of her.

d. I agree, even though I really did not want ANYONE to die, I think someone should’ve. I was okay with Amren going back home, or deciding that she wanted to stay, but I don’t know… that Amren decided to leave and also lied to Feyre, just the way it played out wasn’t super amazing to me.

e. When I read the first prologue I got so excited to read from two prologues. But we only got the last chapter, and while it was good, I felt like it wasn’t really necessary? Like it was in the last book or the prologue.

f. Okay, while I really didn’t want Cassian to lose his wings and I was so scared he was going to, I felt like there should’ve been more trauma after the Hybern incident. Yes, Feyre had to go to the Spring Court, but I didn’t feel like that had any overwhelming impact. Both Cassian and Azriel healed really fast (fast, as in the reader’s didn’t go through long, grueling chapter about their recovery) so what happened at Hybern didn’t feel immensely traumatizing.

g. When Cassian and Nesta looked like they were going to die, I literally gasped in relief that Elain was there. I love this scene, where Elain finally kills someone and ajdslkfja amazing.

h. THE SCENE WHERE FEYRE AND AZRIEL ESCAPE FROM HYBERN’S CAMP. Ugh I really love Azriel/Cassian + Feyre brotp moments, so this scene is a personal favorite. Was on the edge of my seat for the entire chapter.

Ok so this is just a question that I'm FREAKING out about but are the next three books of acotar going to be from a different person's perspective? I just am so attached to Feyre and I'm not ready to let her and her circle go yet. Ahh

I think they're going to be more focused on the other characters? My guess is Nesta/Cassian will be one, Mor (maybe Azriel) will be one, Azriel/Lucien/Elain will be one.

Feyre and Rhysand will probably be in all of them, but just no longer in their perspective.

Though this is completely just my guess.

•I honestly think SOMEONE should have died (or Amren not have returned).
•Also, Nesta annoyed/annoys the heckums outta me!
•And the reason many people probably ship Elain + Azriel is because they have more touching (touching as in emotional, not chapter 55) scenes with each other. Lucien + Elain hardly even *talked* to each other of what I can remember.
•With the Mor thing— that ticked me off. She led Az on for FIVE. HUNDRED. YEARS? BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T TELL HER BEST FRIENDS—BASICALLY FAMILY—SHE'S A LESBIAN? REALLY? I think Sarah just added that in randomly. She usually plans the heck out of things before they happen. She foreshadows. That? No. Her sleeping with people does not count as foreshadowing. That's garbage.
*sighs*

Same :
1. I really like Elain and Azriel because they are really cute. Elain seemed to really trust him and she was really surprised when Azriel came back for her when she was kidnapped at hybern's camp. Not to mention he gave her truth teller.
Now I don't think Elain and Azriel are going to be endgame. Elain loves flowers and gardens(the autumn court) and Rhys said that a mating bond can be broken but there will always be a connection between them. Tbh I don't really like Lucien I didn't like him back then in acotar and in acomaf well..I don't really care about him. A lot of people talk about Vassa being with Azriel but I don't like it's just a terrible idea.
2. I hate nesta. Now you can feel free to hate me but I just can't stand her. She's so rude and awful and she treats Feyre like shit. She ignored cassian all the time and all she did was looking bad at him and that's it. Cassian is snarky and funny and he seems to be like a really positive guy and nesta is the opposite. I just don't like them at all.
3. I agree. Amren should have died. She sacrificed herself for her family and friends and I don't think her coming back was a good idea
4. Now Mor. I'm glad there's diversity in this book. For me Mor is bisexual but what she did to Azriel... I don't really understand and I think he's going to handle it fine bc he loves her that much but anyways....
