Chp20: so its the elf games. Another “not like other girls chp” then Lay thinks there is no way Thane would join because she thinks he would see it beneath him, but Thane is a super informal king so IDK why she is so surprise he does. And then she just cheers for the him and is all “why i do that i hate him” ugh

Chp25: & our strong female lead is captured in 40 seconds when the MML back is turned 🙄 maybe if Lay started training at 6 she would be a better fighter. Seems she can only win when she needs to prove a point to Thane not when she needs to protect herself

Cho25: why do you meed to “assure” Thane that Ren’s kiss was unexpected? And also sounds like Novak was just a childhood crush not a lost boyfriend. And god Lay Thane killed his bff and father 2 months ago but you can’t share Novak’s from 2 years ago i can already tell its a unintentionally your fault (maybe learn to use your magic & prevent it from happening again).

Chp25 Thane Pov: his tent, change reward to a ? For a ? Thing, Lay backs out because she can’t talk about Novak (she doesn’t think about him either) Thane makes a big confession and Lays says “but according to elven law” and i’m like you haven’t even lived here 4 8 weeks yet wdym grew up with humans Lay? & no history of patricide in Thanes family? A royal family?

Chp24: lay “lost” the fight because she dropped the sword but she won because she had the better blow. And now all the men accept her as one of them 🙄 and Thane has to end on a “she’s mine” to his men

Chp24: so lay needs an award to do something she said she was fully capable of last chapter like a child 🙄

Chp24: so thane asks her to fight one of his soldiers to 1. Prove she’s a good fighter as any of his soldiers 2. Train, because she has not done this once since the book started. And her first reaction is kind of confusion and then like backing down and apprehension because she’s like I know, I’m the strongest in my village, but I never fought else before. Last chp, she said she was as good as any of them

Chp24: OMG is this plot progression! So all Lay had to do was say sorry to Thane for us to unlock her bg, open dialogue with Piper, get Tif out of her bedroom and head into battle(still untrained in magic) to observe with talon who is there out of spite

Chp23: private dance. Lay says sorry. Says she wants to fight b/c she is as good as any solider even though she privately admits she has never fought in battle, and then Thane says she can’t go because he can’t count on her to fight well and to obey him. Then they do the big festival dance and right on queue when all the sappy scenes are over the pale ones attack, so nice in the wait until our leads bond

Chp23: Thane does the whole “don’t tough my mate” thing and thats fine but then Lay just runs to him to hold onto him like some 80’s male fantasy book cover because she was so incapable of saving herself from a mob -and i’m wondering why her instincts to save herself are so bad when she has been training her who life to be a fighter and pride to not seem like she wants to be Thanes mate has gone

Chp22: its the festival she only is on good terms with Thanes boys. Talon and Queen just out her identity before a whole mob so they will swarm her as if Lay isn’t their greatest weapon against the pale ones and keeping her safe isn’t a priority for them as regents.

God lay got pushed like some heroine from a shojo!! I thought you had refluxes from your warrior training!!
So eailer lay and Talon had a virginity discussion and Lay points out the double standard while Talon is all boys will be boys about it, but then i hace the question Lay your a virgin what are your thoughts towards premarital sex? No just pointing out the double standard. Staring to think a religious women wrote this… 😑
Like it reminded me that Lay had a crush or a relationship mentioned in the first chapter BUT HE HAS BMNEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP SINCE!! Like did i imagine her saying ahe had a crush on some guys older brother in the tavern that was making her sad?
1. If lay js such a baddie why didn’t she compete? Instead of Thane. Because she is just doing what all the pther women are doing but saying she is better than them because
2. Lay has no friends, its like over 40% in thr book and she has no friends to confide in, ppl either hate or praise her, nobody is her equel rxcept for Thane who is her love interest who she hates
3. When is she going to take magic lessons? She avoided teaching herself magic in the human wolrd but she hasnt started any lessons or spend time working on it on her own
4. How dose the elf and human world compare exactly. We know what lay dosn’t like but its not because of her human upbringing she just already has a modern perspective based on nothing but that the writer and audience are modern
