…a rider without their dragon is dead.
Hiyaaa it’s me, acotar anon!! do I rebrand to fourth wing anon? because YES I’ve read it, I’m in the middle of onyx storm rn.
you have just made my day. the pipeline from acotar to fourth wing is tried and true (and next up is the crescent city trilogy). I was going to recommend this to you but you are steps ahead as I should’ve expected.
firstly, congrats on finishing acosf, it was definitely my fave of the series too. Nesta is my Queen, lady death for the win, her haters can fuck right off. I want to be a Valkyrie when I grow up. I want to join the house of wind book club. I want Cassian. There’s so much to love in there.
Your loathing of Rhys is so real, so valid, so right. I personally don’t think he’s as bad as Tamlin bc he would never physically harm or publicly humiliate Feyre, and he made her high lady, and he’s a better high lord to his people, so for me he gets some points for that. But I do respect your feelings on the matter bc that whole “males are protective of their mates” shit was icky fr. Some people are into it but he was doing too much. I will never forgive him for withholding medical information from her. Like bro it’s literally HER BODY WHY ARE YOU ACTIVELY LYING TO HER. And how tf can we heal Cassian when his guts are literally spilling out of his body in the war and repeatedly magically revive people, but we can’t perform a bloody c-section?? don’t pmo. that’s what I meant when I said the bar tab bankruptcy was not the only dumbass inconsistency. anyway….
Also don’t worry, Nesta didn’t give all of her power away. There is definitely more we will see from her, I feel like she’s just getting started. I can’t tell you how I know this. Trust though. AND have you read the bonus chapters?? There are two acosf bonus chapters that you should absolutely read. I think you might hate them lol (I did). There’s a Feyre pov and an Azriel pov. A quick search should pull them up, they’re also floating around tumblr somewhere. (I would send you the screenshots I have but idk how to do that on here)
Oh and here’s the link to a Nessian bonus chapter from acomaf! https://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/files/wings-and-embers-by-sarah-j-maas.pdf
Ok on to the next!
FOURTH WINGGGGG ahhh im so excited to talk about this with you. I’m very glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I mean it’s dragons, how could you not?
I would love to hear more of your thoughts on Violet and Xaden’s characters. I’ve seen many complaints about the typical “I’m so tiny” narrative from the fmc, but imo with Violet it feels more like disability representation than a pick-me vibe, given she has very real struggles with her joints that cause a lot of pain and disadvantage, and it highlights her intelligence and ability to adapt. I definitely found her annoying at the start lol, but I actually kinda love her.
I won’t even get into Xaden.
I love the whole found family squad trope. That shit gets me. Not Dain though ew. And yeah her mom sucks. I’m so in love with Mira.
I won’t say more since idk where you’re at now. Please keep sharing your thoughts! I’m so pleased you’re on this journey. (and please please please read the crescent city trilogy next, you simply must! ik im getting ahead of myself there but you’re just so speedy lol)
ok luv yaaaa xx
