I still don’t get why he’s interested in her. Clearly we’re supposed to understand that he IS, but they never explained that or set that up. He showed mercy by not killing right away and then basically since her arrival at his home, the book has hinted at his interest. WHY!? It makes more sense NOW as he’s learning more about her, but the book started out with him liking her. This is annoying.

So…Tamlin’s whole motivation for keeping this girl is because he’s “done enough killing”? It doesn’t really explain why he is nice to her though. I wonder what that’s about. Also, I was convinced the high fey could read human minds but apparently they can smell fear and are highly observant. Okay. I’m still wondering what Tamlin’s true motivation is. Obviously being set up for a love angle. But WHY?

I don’t know why I started this one other than curiosity and the fact I’ve been getting back into Booktube. I’m actually grit hating it. But there is a big issue I’m having with the story right now which is, why does Tamlin care about this girl at all? He made a huge show of being angry about his friend’s death just to turn around and be nice? Didn’t the book describe him as “merciless”? Whats up.
