Edward was also really presumptuous at first that she would want it terminated, but when she said no he didn't force her. He just sorta sat there sad in the corner while Bella turned into a skeleton and Rosalie helped her. And he and Carlisle planned a (stupid) way to save her when the child was born anyways. That sequence is still horrifying but at least Bella made that choice. Unlike everything Edward did in Eclipse. Unfortunately it all gets to burn in the garbage fire because we still have to contend with Jacob imprinting on a fetus. Ugh....

[@helloitsaperson6447]

My brain decided to write so I write. A far too familiar shout echoed down the streets, the windows rattling in thier frames and it tore through the city. A sudden crash of glass sounded through a few houses, along with multiple sighs and grumbles about getting a broom again. At least the broom business had been booming lately, plus plastic dishes. At this point, everyone knows the cause of it, no one tells the children- thank the lord above- and now there's a story going around that "the local banshee has come to town again and breaks any glass in sight". Many children have taken to hiding thier piggybanks, many have not escaped. Many tears have been shed, both adults and kids. A few urns have even been broken- How any of their houses have survived is nothing short of a miracle. Everyone counts thier blessings when only a random glass breaks instead of a window. I still laugh at the time old Mrs. Hamlet's window shattered out into the street, many had to hold her back from storming the castle. Never underestimate an elderly woman on a mission. I sigh, taking in the sight of my morning coffee spilling out from the shattered remains of my old mug. I should've just drank from the pot.

@@asfodelos3225 I meant that as a joke but my point is both authors consciously wrote these extremely problematic scenes and portrayed them in a positive and even ""romantic"" light when they're actually just extremely disrespectful, inconsiderate to their audience, and questionable at BEST. (especially for the reason you already mentioned with the priestesses. in the fault in our stars' case, it's the fact that the narrative tries to romanticize the holocaust and draws a parallel between the characters who are privileged to not live in Nazi Germany, and a girl who was murdered by it, at what is the closest equivalent to her grave, then has the rest of the characters CLAP AND ENCOURAGE THIS for god's sake.) Though Sarah J Maas is WAY more explicit and callous considering that these are LITERAL SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS (and then tries to act like an ally 😒), I honestly think they're still comparable scenes due to the SEVERE lack of awareness on the authors' parts, and for how demeaning, insulting, and gross this is to real life survivors of the holocaust and sexual assault

She constantly tells you just how mindblowing and earth-shattering the sex her characters are having is and it gets so boring and repetitive. The characters are always roaring and screaming and so over the top, It becomes so unsexy. When every sex scene in a 800 page book is so dramatic and earth shattering, none of them are.

And to not do anything. And not see the only representation of what an ideal recovery looks like be consistently made fun of and called useless.

It's just really frustrating, that in the end, Nesta just became a slightly different version of Feyre... And even Elain became more "blueprinted" in this book. Like especially Nestla lost literally all of her characteristics - beeing the straighforward, honest, brutal, pride and sassy one. She just turned into the same main girl in all of SJM's books - humble, boring, with ONE hobby (with aelin it was music, feyre has painting, elain her garden and nesta reading), she learned combat and got herself a mate whom she can call territorial bastard. That's it.

[@tiryaclearsong421]

That's extremely common with mediocre romance authors. It's really rare to find a few that can create characters that sound real and unique while giving a logical inside perspective to their previous behavior throughout a series. SJM is just over-writing cheap harlequin romance series. Honestly she's making a ton of money though so I gotta respect that.

Okay, for REAL... When we were going over the backstories of the women who have been sexually assaulted.

I wonder how they would feel if they knew that their HIGH LORD literally had his wife, THEIR HIGH LADY, held down on a table so she could be stripped naked, painted... that he made her parade around basically naked and then drugged her and made her dance for him and groped her waist and hips lol. Among many other things... Let's be honest, everyone in the whole faerie world probably knows this went down because I'm sure it was "hot goss" after the whole Amarantha thing. I mean he paraded her naked in front of every royal court in existence. If I were those poor women, I would be like, "Dang. If that's how our High Lord treats his own wife, who is the highest ranking woman in our entire country, there is nooo hope for us in this cruel, cruel world." We stan Rhysand the feminist king--such an inspiration to his people lol 👏😍 Also, since I'm already on a rant... I still vividly remember Rhysand telling Feyre to leave Tamlin because Tamlin just wants to just make her start "popping out babies" and trap her in some married life. Let's ignore the fact that he let Feyre marry or ("mate") him like half a book later (what was that, like a few months?) Let's then compare that moment to the sentence about his "smug male pride" as he shows off her pregnancy to the court, knowing it's going to kill her. BRO 😒🤔 The side eye is real lol.

Man you gotta love the morality of the world of Acotar. So Nesta is worse because she spilled the beans about Feyre’s pregnancy out of spite but Rhys who is responsible for getting Feyre pregnant and keeping the whole thing hidden from her is not?

The random descriptions of wings was definitely the worst part for me.

Honestly I feel pretty sadistic because this must have been about as enjoyable for you as it is for Cassian's friends before he's had a shower, but here I am living my very best life listening to this like Nesta is when she's leaking like the Titanic post-iceberg collision.

im glad u enjoy my suffering

[@falynowens9193]

okay okay okay so i named my cat cassian after reading a court of mist and fury (three years ago) so you could only imagine how terrible it was to read this book this year.

the real reason Cindy has to keep moving is because the neighbors keep hearing her talking about fairy peen and no matter how far she runs Sarah always pops up with another fairy smut book

logically i understand that the whole "smelling like other people" thing is supposed to be like scent marking in animals but at this point i'm wondering if anyone takes a bath in this entire 800 page book bc they're just constantly smelly🙄

This book is just straight culture TM in the worst ways possible.
