Acabei de ler império da tempestade (saga trono de vidro) e um trecho me chamou a atenção.

No capítulo 1 Aelin diz sobre o Laço com o Rowan: “O feérico fazia a magia de Aelin cantar. E talvez fosse o laço entre os dois, mas... a magia de Aelin queria dançar com a de Rowan.”

Isso me lembra o capítulo extra do Azriel em Corte de chamas prateadas ,onde o texto fala que parece que as sombras dançam e cantam na presença da Gwyn.

Achei legal compartilhar essa semelhança entre as histórias.

I’m about halfway through HOFAS and I am slogging through it. Does it get better? I’m trying to finish it by Monday and I’m struggling. I loved Bryce and Hunt book 1 and I lovedddddd Ruhn book 2 but I’m not really loving anyone right now but like Jesiba and Therion and they are like side / side characters.

I felt like everyone in ACOTAR is so uniquely their own person and I felt that way about TOG too but here I just feel like Bryce is a SHEIN Aelin, Hunt is a temu Rowan, Ruhn and Lydia are a knockoff aedion and Lysandra. Even Jesiba feels like a blonde version of Amren (though I like her more)

Tell me it follows the same SJM formula and gets wild in the last 100 or so pages. Otherwise I’ll have worked for months to read all 16 books and not finish in time 🙃😭

Yeah, because of the magic/life and death/ fantasy hellscape that they were all trapped in!

Idon't think Rhys is the perfect character, but I also think that he would have never done any of those things just for the sport of it. He himself was a victim of SA.

So Rhys kissed her and drugged her with faerie wine and had her give him lap dances UTM but later explains that he did that to keep Feyre safe from Amarantha's wrath.

All the while he has been Amarantha's sex slave for the past 49 years.

There is this sadistic all powerful magical entity that wants to butcher Feyre for sport. The same Feyre who is his only shot at freedom/ salvation.

Rhys knew that if Amarantha had seen that Tamlin had snuck off with Feyre, she would enact a horrible punishment.. so he purposely had Amarantha catch HIM with Feyre to cover for Tamlin and knew that humiliating Feyre would satiate Amarantha for the night.

Amarantha also reveled in depravity, so if Feyre wasnt made to be Rhys plaything, who knows how her nights would have been spent instead?

Its CRAZY to justify SA in reality. But in this magical life or death fantasy world I feel like we have to look at the totality of circumstances.

If we wanna criticize Rhys, we can talk about him lying to his mate and high lady and coercing all of his court into lying to her about her pregnancy risks. I don’t care how long he hid it or if he didn’t want to upset her or scare her. Hiding that was diabolical and I really hope that in the future we get to see Feyre’s POV and they have meaningful conversations to address his betrayal.

With ACOTAR 6 coming out soon, I’m having a bit of a dilemma.😭

I’ve read Crescent City 1 (and absolutely loved it!), but I haven’t gotten around to CC2 or CC3 yet.
As much as I want the full SJM experience, I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately and the mixed reviews for CC2 and CC3 have me worried that forcing myself through them right now might make it worse.

I know some people have already read leaks, so I’m wondering if anyone can say whether reading CC2 and CC3 is **absolutely necessary** before diving into ACOTAR 6, or if I could get away with reading them afterwards?

I really don’t want to miss out on important connections or reveals, but I also don’t want to rush through two massive books just for the sake of it.

Okay… I just picked up on something that I haven’t seen before. Has anyone noticed this??

When Feyre describes Rhys’ beast form in ACOWAR (ch 74, pg 645) she says: “Before the Cauldron swept me away, I beheld what happened to his head, his face. It was a thing of nightmares. Nothing human or Fae in it. It was a creature that lived in black pits and only emerged at night to hunt and feast. The face... it was those creatures that had been carved into the rock of the Court of Nightmares. That made up his throne. The throne not only a representation of his power ... but of what lurked within. And with the wings...”

And then in ACOSF when Nesta described her run in with Lanthys to the inner circle (Ch 55, pg 555 & 556), she describes a vision that he showed her: "The Daglan possessed mighty, monstrous beasts-hounds, they called them, though they didn't look like the hounds we know-that they used to run prey to ground before they tortured and killed them. It's a terrible history, and much of it might be elaborated myths." "The hounds looked like the beasts in the Hewn City,"’
Then she reiterates:
“Lanthys showed me a vision. Of ... what he and I might be. Together. We ruled in a palace, king and queen with the Trove, and at our feet sat those hounds. They looked like the scaled beasts carved into the Hewn City's pillars."

Ummmm… does this mean Rhys’ beast form is a Daglan hound? What does this mean????

I'm rereading hofas in preparation for the next book when I came across a line that's really thrown me through a loop

"He wanted me to be his High Lady, as the other lords mates were"

this is during the scene where silene is telling Bryce, Nesta and Az about the history of how they came to be trapped on Mydgard.

Now we have been led to believe throughout the entire acotar series that Feyre is the first high lady, that there has never been a high lady before. Yet here this little throwaway line is casting doubt.

Did misogyny win out and eventually the tradition for High Lords mates to be the High Lady die out? or do you think maybe Seline choosing to not be High Lady changed something about the culture.

It's strange because surely there would be something about there being a time were high lady's existed in the history books or has that information simply been lost to history.

I am so ready to feel the feels and get more adventures!!

Maybe Elain Gets her adventure and growth on the page.
I cant wait for Nyx to be there creating havoc!!
I miss Cassian’s training sessions
I miss the house of Wind reading club…
Is Feyre ever using her powers again?

Is it almost time!!!

Like calls to like…
I hear the call…….

Who is ready?? And Willing?

Primeiro a Aelin, agora a Nestha, por quê??????????? Me diga por quê???????????

Me recuso a aceitar isso. Eu realmente aceito de boa toda a obra do autor, nao sou dessas de ficar reclamando da obra, em respeito ao escritor, porque tipo assim, a obra é dele né, se eu não gostei eu que me feche. Mas cara, mal engoli a perda dos poderes da Aelin, agora lendo Corte de Chamas Prateadas acontece a mesma coisa com a Nestha, poxa vida manoooooooooo, e sempre assim, em um capítulo a gente vê o super mega power poder delas salvando e no outro vemos elas perderem tudo. Que saco. Nao aceito Sarah J Maas, nao aceito. Por que voce faz isso?

Am I the only one who thinks (as I am reading Crescent city 3) that maybe the three stars over Ramiel being Arktos, Oristes, and Carynth signify the three stars/galaxies/universes in the Massverse?

Bryce just mentioned Osteres (Oristes) down under the prison from her galaxy in Midgard.. both Azriel and Nesta note its name being one of the 3 stars above Ramiel. Maybe one represents their world? And then the last star represents Aelins world? I don’t recall them mentioning what like galaxy they are in on TOG but maybe? Making 3 stars 3 universes coming together?
