Sometimes I forget why exactly I disliked ACOMAF as much as I did and then I see a random quote and am instantly reminded.

This is exactly the type of gaslighting that this book does that annoyed me so. fucking. badly.

'All he'd wanted to do wasn't free me, but fuck me' - ah yes, because it totally wasn't her who went for his pants first.

'He hadn't tried to kill her, hadn't crawled for me'

Excuse me? He crawled as he was bleeding out from a chest wound, still tied up. Not to mention he DID kill Amarantha in the end. (Also he couldn't kill her before, because that's how magic bonds work - none of the high lords could lift a finger against her. There was literally nothing he was able to do).

Also it makes no SENSE for Feyre to be resentful of Tamlin not rescuing her all of a sudden? Tamlin saved her already by returning her to the human realm. SHE returned to fight and die for him. She KNEW she'd most likely die but she was there to rescue HIM. It's not like she got kidnapped by Amarantha and he just watched, no she came to die for him. It's kind of weird to blame him for not getting her out when she came in to get HIM out.

So yeah, ACOMAF is awful in this regard and I just don't get it. It would have been quite easy and possible to make Feyre realize that Tamlin isn't right for her without literally making shit up about him that conflicts with book one.

It amazes me when people say Feyre isn't biased because one of the things she says is Mor, Cassian, and Az were three of the deadliest people in the room during the HIGH LORDS MEETING.

Cassian, Azriel, and Mor were still as death--their fury rippling off them in silent waves. But whether Tamlin noticed or cared that three of the deadliest people in this room were currently contemplating his demise, he didn't let on.

There are seven high lords in the room. The High Lords ARE power, as it is often described. Az, Mor, and Cassian are nowhere NEAR the most deadly or powerful. And Tamlin, as one of those High Lords could destroy those three in a second.

Please be real, Feyre.

[lady-of-oorid]

They are as toxic as Tamlin and Feyre ever were and I will die on this hill. The only difference is people like Cassian because he is a "cinnamon roll" to Feyre.

I know SJM said Lover Awakened was her favorite Black Dagger Brotherhood story, and really who doesn’t love this one? But I hadn’t read it in years and decided to skim through it and I…tell me if any of this sounds familiar to you. 👀

Zsadist was a former slave, locked away in a cell and tortured for years, and still bears the scars from his time there. He is filled with an icy rage and violence. He feels disgusting, tainted, and not good enough for Bella. He believes his scars and blood band slave tattoos are a physical manifestation of everything wrong within him and unworthy of Bella.

“I…I can’t get clean. I don’t want you to get dirty, too.” He lifted his wrist and blood oozed down his forearm. “See? Look at the dirt. It’s all over me. Inside of me.”

I want you, but it’s not right. You shouldn’t be with me. You’re cleaner than that.”

Bella is described several times as a lady, kind, lovely, a woman of worth.

She’d been beautiful and soft and kind, a regal, aristocratic female from a privileged background.

Phury, Zsadist’s twin, has red, gold and black hair, a prosthetic leg, is not angry like his twin, considered noble and honorable, and like Zsadist he “ended up bonded with the same female”

Holy shit, this was trouble—of the bury-your-dead variety. Two bonded males tied to the same female were a lethal combination to begin with. Make that two warriors and you had the potential for serious injury.

Phury loves Bella but she constantly rejects him and he’s angry at first because he thinks Z only wants Bella for sex.

As Bella’s eyes lifted to his, his skin got too small for his skeleton. Which was what rejection did to a male. Just shriveled you right up.

Like a total lunatic, he briefly considered going back in and fighting Zsadist for the right to lie next to her. He could see himself throwing the hand-to-hand around, having an old-fashioned cohntehst with his twin over who was allowed to have her.

And then the very next sentence is this:

But this was not the Old Country. And females had the right to choose who they sought out. Who they slept beside. Who they mated with.

At one point Zsadist rescues Bella after she’s kidnapped, cradles her to his chest, won’t put her down even after being shot in the leg and injured, and when Bella awakens she thinks this:

He had come for her. He had come for her….

He even sings to her when she’s hurt. I completely forgot he could sing lol

On the rare occasions he sang, the sounds that came out of his mouth were stunners, capable of making time grind to a halt and then slide into infinity.

THERE IS EVEN A BIT ABOUT A NECKLACE. I can’t stop laughing lol. When Z thinks he won’t see Bella again he finds her necklace in some rubble, a small tiny pendant on a fragile gold chain, and wears it as a reminder of her. (A part of me thinks Azriel may have gone back for the necklace and he actually has it now.)

“I wanted to give you back this.” He pulled her necklace out of his pocket. “I was going to leave it with you that first night, but then I thought…Well, anyway, I wore it until I couldn’t get it around my throat anymore. Now I just carry it around.”

I love you, he mouthed. She smiled back at him and pressed something into his hand. Her necklace. “You keep this on you always,” she whispered. “For good luck.”

Sarah is about to give us ACOTAR’s version of Lover Awakened, the best of the entire series. Elriel is going to serve us the Bella and Zsadist, light/dark trope we deserve. Because these parallels are…interesting.

I don’t think other parts of this fandom quite understand … Nesta stans get so defensive and are screaming her rights and what she deserves from the rooftop because no one in the actual book is going to do it.

Rhys gets hard on himself and the internal monologue of every character in existence reminds us he’s such a good person and it’s really not a big deal that he killed all those people or drugged Feyre and made her dance naked and twisted her bone because he had a reason so it’s totally fine and he deserves instant forgiveness and worship!!

Feyre gets hard on herself and every character in the series jumps over themselves to say my precious Angel baby darling you have never done a single thing wrong in your whole life!! So what a whole Court got destroyed you were just in a silly goofy mood!! You meant the best! You were wronged and revenge is rightfully yours to take!!

Nesta gets hard on herself and every character in the books including her own mate says yes thank you for recognizing that you are awful and mean and insufferable for saying you don’t like Mor’s dress and like … glaring at people? Don’t you know drinking excessively and having sex is only ok when you do it with a sexy grin??? To the dungeons with you I do believe!!

In seven hundred and eighty four pages, Cassian never said I love you to Nesta. Considering the number of romance stories Nesta read which were probably filled with beautiful love confessions, this is the absolute worst. After everything he did, he couldn't even say, "I love you."

Tamlin… tamlin who smells like the earth and rain and faintly of roses. Tamlin who plays the fiddle because he likes it. Tamlin whos an expert at swords-fighting. Tamlin who feels the need to protect everyone he can and will put himself at risk and will destroy his public image to try and save people
