Manon being actually uncertain … Manon actually being gentle … Manon showing empathy *mind blown* … and physically going our of her way to be a calm soothing presence … Manon smiling FOR ONCE for in pleasant way instead of the bloodlusty demeanour … HOPE
I’m rereading Queen of Shadows and I just… God, okay, I’m just really happy that **SPOILER**
Chaol and Nesryn didn’t end up together. I was a huge Chaol/Celaena shipper ever since Throne of Glass, so when Nesryn first appeared I was a bit salty. I ended up really enjoying her character though. But one thing I never liked was how Chaol acted around her. I didn’t like Chaol’s attitude AT ALL in Queen of Shadows (nor did I like Aelin’s, they were just so shitty to one another) and I thought Maas had butchered his character in order for us to feel more kindly towards Rowan. In truth, Mass was just accurately portraying how depression and terrible circumstances can effect people, change them. Which was why I was so grateful for Tower of Dawn- I loved Chaol. Even shitty Chaol. I didn’t want to see him butchered and cast as the cliche shitty ex. I’m glad Maas did better by him.
But Nesryn and Chaol never harmonized for me. I went into Tower of Dawn hoping Maas would pull her magic and make me love them together. I was sure they were endgame because it was so obvious Nesryn cared about Chaol– but his feelings for her were so… muted.
I’m so grateful he got with Yrene instead. Nesryn deserved more than Chaol could give her and Chaol deserved more than a forced romance with someone he didn’t truly love.
I’m glad Maas didn’t try to force it. I’m glad she gave Chaol someone just as overwhelming as Celaena in such a different way.
And that she gave someone to Nesryn who looked at her the way so many people looked at Celaena.
So we know that the Throne of Glass characters are each associated with a particular god … and here’s the list!
Aelin Ashryver Galanthynius - Descendant and Heir of Mala Fire-Bringer, briefly inhabited by Deanna
Elide Lochan - Anneith, goddess of wisdom and cunning. Consort to Hellas.
Lorcan Salvaterre - Hellas, god of death
Lysandra - Temis, goddess of wild things, who “never forgets the caged beasts of this world”
Rolfe - God of the Sea and of Oaths. Gave him his map tattoo.
Manon Blackbeak - Three-Faced Goddess?
Yrene Towers - Silba, goddess of healers?
Dorian Havilliard - Wields Damaris, a sword blessed by the God of Truth, the Sin-Eater.
Some of them, like Dorian, are only speculation and vague connections. Let me know if I’ve forgotten anyone …
I have a theory for tog 7
Listen up listen up
That little FIREHEART scene at the end.
Aelin was referred to as “princess”
“He hauled the princess upright, her body a distant, aching thing.” (Page 660)
“A princess of nothing. Nameless.”
“The princess sang to the darkness….”
What did we learn in this book?
•Maeve is Valg queen
•there are valg princesses and princes
Now that we know this, literally it’s an end. Meaning, Maeve would probably most likely make Aelin valg. How could she not. If she is in control of all of that dark power and has the power to do that to her enemy in her weakest state, why would she not?
Aelin would not obey or listen to Maeve no matter what. Unless a valg takes over her body. Aelin would be a perfect host for such a dark thing and Maeve would have her in her palm.
Anyway, back to the princess thing.
Why refer to Aelin as princess? It is MORE than common knowledge that Aelin is Queen no matter if they like it or not.
Could the book be saying princess because her body has been taken over by a princess valg? Or what?
Even if Aelin is not possessed by a valg, I feel like she will be. Why would Maeve pass up that chance.
ALSO-
“She did not want to slide back into this body. Struggled against it,…” (page 660)
This could mean she did not want to slide back into the pain from her unconscious state (I believe that’s it) but is there a small chance she could be talking about how her body is taken over by someone/something else and she did not want it back?
I know this is a far fetch. I’m aware. I finished this book at 1 am and I’m already going crazy with my thoughts and theories.
This omfg sounds so right i hope not but I’m interested
Okay, so ever since Eos I’ve been thinking. About Elide. So let’s backtrack for a second to QoS when Manon told Elide that witches only gain access to their magic on their first bleeding(first period)? Now, Remember in Empire of Sobbing(oops, I meant ‘Storms’) when Elide got her period, and she said it was heavier than any period she’d ever gotten before? In fact, she said that all her periods before had been very spotty, and her nursery maid was always surprised at how light they were. Well, Elide wouldn’t have gotten her first period before magic vanished, she was too young, and Manon even said that the witches who hadn’t had their period before magic disappeared hadn’t even experienced magic. But now magic is back and Elide’s period is heavier than it ever was when magic was gone. Do you think this means anything about Elide’s witch heritage? Could she get some magic/witch powers? But Manon also said that witches can sacrifice themselves to create enough magic to damage the opposing armies. What if Elide sacrifices herself?
Night court attire
-is torn between being super extra with fireworks all over Velaris or just crying in his room and convincing Feyre that there’s really a gray hair above his left ear (it’s just paint)
-isn’t allowed to do the fireworks anyway because Cassian prohibits it, since last time they did fireworks Rhysand flew through them and nearly got blasted to bits
-Rhysand’s cake is beautiful because Feyre made it and used (edible, yes darling) paint to depict some of their favorite activities and memories
-Azriel mutters that he’s thankful that the more nocturnal activities aren’t displayed as well
-Rhysand screams in joy bc Azriel’s voice is the best birthday gift he could’ve asked for from Az
-Everyone gives him great presents and as he winnows them to his room, he notices that he has none from Feyre
-He tries to console himself and remind himself that she gave him a kiss and that always makes him happy
-But then he sees Feyre in the window of their room, her silhouette outlined in moonlight, and something about the way she’s holding her hands is strange
-And then she shifts in the wind, and something is off about her scent. It smells different, almost as if…
-Feyre is pregnant
-Rhysand spends the rest of his birthday cuddling next to Feyre and whispering sweet promises into her ear
-He doesn’t even notice the fireworks outside because he’s too busy alternating between laughing and crying in joy
-When Rhysand wakes up the next morning, he and Feyre don’t let go of each other until they get to the breakfast room and announce the news
-Cassian cries, Mor cries, Amren hears the news from her vacation in the Summer Court and cries, even Azriel cries
-Three minutes later, Feyre is busy listening, horrified, to Cassian as he explains how Illyrian babies take up more, erm, space as they’re being born because of the wings and therefore birth is much more painful
-Rhysand has to come rescue Feyre and explain that the wings do fold against their back and it’ll be fine, and why would you believe Cassian anyway he has no experience
-Cassian hops around in the background screaming that he has, in fact, given birth before “so there!”
-Mor has to be the one to shut Cassian up since Amren is gone
-Rhysand is happy and safe, and he spends the rest of his life knowing that there could be no better birthday present than a future with Feyre
