I’ve called the king was Aaron a little while back now, but the real confirmation was him showing up and me thinking “would” immediately. “For a moment, Joan could almost see his face. He was handsome, younger than she’d expected, and strangely familiar.” I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE KILL MY BOY-

« His hands were still in his pockets, lord-like, and for a moment Joan almost knew something important. About Eleanor, about herself. About why Eleanor had turned Nick into a slayer. Why she’d said, It’s always about Nick with you, isn’t it ? And that blond boy. »

See I knew there was something suspicious about that sentence, could Aaron be the OG king ?

« In that previous timeline, you told him you loved him before you killed him. Was that true ? Was any of it true ? Did you ever care about him ? »

For CRYING OUT LOUD it is NOT THAT HARD to tell him the truth I am SO DONE with those shrinking daisies of female characters who cannot stand up for themselves! « You kissed me, then killed my whole family in cold blood while I was in the building. » Boom, done

Oh my GOD the guilt-ridden-miscommunication trope can fucking suck my proverbial dick istg 💀💀💀

I’m so involved in Aaron and it’s so unlike me and yet here we are. This felt like a punch to the gut 😟

Big major props to Vanessa Len for writing a love “triangle” where both love interests are likeable and equally flawed instead of the usual “well I clearly like this one but for some reason I’ll act confused about it for three whole books”
