Just because her first relationship was more overtly abusive it doesn't mean this one is healthy. Not too mention Captain Feminism is less a feminist and more a nepotist. We never see any evidence of him empowering women in general, just putting his connections in positions of power.

I agreed so much with Tamlin when he just responded to Rhysand's vile comment with "get out." Tam's clearly not a villain. He is a fallen and lost hero who needs help...just like the other characters. Rhys was allowed to slip up but not Tamlin? I think they could have done so much more with this character. The author made a misstep here. There was so much hypocrisy in this book that it feels like the author lost the pulse on what each of the characters' motivations were and also the spirit of the holidays that she is meant to portray in general. Also Lucien, who is genuinely a good faerie. Man, give these spring court guys a break.

i havent even read book 2 and 3 because ACOTAR was so painful to push through, but I'm shocked at what SJM has done to Tamlin.

Literally, I had to stop reading because I liked first book Tamlin. Weirdly enough, of all the characters he's actually the one that felt most like a Faerie to me. Like sure, if you want to break him and Feyre up, go for it- their relationship is based on breaking a curse, I wouldn't be surprised if after it all they realised they didn't actually like each other that way. There's ways to do it. Why not just have it be that he comes away from the relationship a better person, sometimes acts as their ally against the big bad (some interesting awkward tension could be created by their previous relationship) and then eventually finds his own real love?

​@@ellie7646 If your book is good, you probably won't. :( It seems that if you want to make good money, you have to write like a 13 year old girl (you just sit and write what comes to your mind or write some fanfic and publish it as a first draft (do not make any changes to make it better - that seems to be contradictory to the goal of making a lot of money!). I wrote one book as a young teen (ages 12-14, so 2 years took to make the first draft) and I wrote in that way - what came to my mind without having some plot in mind/where the story is going - but it was fun to explore without knowing - I really had fun with it and spent many hours writing. But you know what, I somehow managed to wrap it up and actually (for what it was) it kinda became a real sound story at the end. It follows a story of a young wizard whose parents are murdered - and later he founds out that the wizard who arranged all the teachers and everything for him to learn magic, actually also arranged the murder of his parents (it's kinda easier to get someone to depend on you when you murder their parents, right). When he finds out (not very happy about it :D), the wizard takes his sister (non-magic person) hostage in order to make the main character to obey. The main ch. manages to rescue his sister and kills the big bad wizard in the process. And in the end, there was even a set up for a second book. Of course, if I ever wanted to publish it (I'm not planning that), it would have to be completely rewritten and edited heavily but I still think it's way better than f.e. Fifty Shades of Grey, even as a first draft. :D Also, it's not in English but rather a minor language, so it would be even harder to get published and get successful. What's your book about? And congrats that you get to be published. :)

16:53) Because the author decided to turn Tamlin into a bastard in order to make Rhysand more appealing. It's a classic yet very stupid trope some authors do.

Maybe she shot herself in the foot by describing the love between the characters as “unbreakable” or whatever. Just feel like it’s a bad message for teens, teaches people to constantly point the finger at other people when something bad happens.

[@izzisart]

Seriously, the whole premise of Tamlin and Feyre's relationship was based on trying to break a curse. I wouldn't be surprised if after it all was over they realised that, whilst they like each other, it's not in THAT way. It's actually more believable than what happens in the books. I'd love it if they had simply just realised they didn't work as a couple and parted amicably.
