I don’t think the jealousy thing was just to bamboozle. He plays a lot of mind games with her I’m realizing in the reread

Someone from throne of glass in the prison?

Part 2
The Tamlin thing definitely hits different this time around 😭

So she’s not allowed to have any power
She’s not allowed to have any kind of needs
She’s not allowed to breathe for a second
He interrogates her the second she walks in the door
No word about the wedding?
Destroys the entire house in a rage?

“Does he? Does he ever ask you why you hurl your guts up every night, or why you can’t go into certain rooms or see certain colors?”

Does he care about your pain and suffering?

Tampon back at it again. Ready to fight Rhysand when it comes off as a rescue attempt.. but as soon as his woman shows she’s scared and begs him to help her? He relaxes and is all nonchalant, no will to fight. Does he even like women?

The red flowers 😭😡 Timlin is the worst

“Quit talking cuz I want to use your body rn” oh and “you’re not allowed to leave the house ever again because you saved my life and my entire kingdom” 🙄

“For him, I had done this for him— for him, I’d gladly wrecked myself and my immortal soul”
And for you? For you? He ignores you in your deepest time of need and pretends to be asleep

First page of chapter one and I’m already disgusted and gutted.Book one: Girl sacrifices every single resource she has, including her health and emotional well being, to save a man from his problems. Page one of book two… he can’t even be bothered to get up and help her in her sickness and time of need? Going to pretend it’s not happening right next to him?At least she writes her characters to be believable

“He roared and went with me” 😂😂😂✌️☠️🪦

Literally sends her to bed and gets all mean and dramatic about her safety because he’s about to go do with other women 🙄 Tampon

“She took my wings” 😭 this hit me so hard on the reread and I don’t think I even registered it first time

Bro just walking red flags EVERYWHERE. Also i don’t remember why Tamlin gets all mentally checked out. Bruh are you possessed? And Lucien already sets the tone in like chapter 8 or 9 how essentially she’s gonna get stuck and be locked in. Also Tamlin is so socially awkward and non romantic about it.. no social skills

The way CS Lewis/Screwtape describes the two ways men categorize women they’re interested in (ch 19) makes me want to take a lifetime vow of celibacy

Idk if I can do this I’m ngl.

Chapter 18 is brutal 🥲 this is the best book tho

Wow chapter 6 🥲 I’ve reread it about 5 times now… being so focused on fear of the future and what will happen.. accepting all possibilities at crosses you will bare, instead of considering the cross you must bare is simply the fear and anxiety itself. I need to sit down 🥲

I like the analogy used in method #2 to show that just because a habit or action of another bothers you does not automatically mean the other person is sinning. We have a smaller perspective than God. I love CS Lewis

Holy crap. I had a hard time getting through the first chapter the first time.. I figured this time it would be better. And in a way it was because I figured out why it’s such a rough start. This lady uses WAY too many descriptors. Painting and image is important but when the descriptors are so many you lose the plot that’s rough.

Wow I’ve been binging this all afternoon. It’s so good I can’t stop but I’m also definitely going to read this chapter by chapter sometime to meditate.

Now I realize why I received a smirk and “take your time, trust me” when I told my priest I’d hurry reading through this and getting it back to him. It’s like a whole class with homework and everything. Will update as I go 😂
