Sarah’s new live (10/06/20)

Here’s the news:

- About ACOSF:

“It’s very hot. I don’t know how I’m going to explain to my family they can’t read this book. There is one sex scene that I can’t talk about” (she blushed when she was talking about it and said she cut this scene). ACOSF is the dirtiest book I’ve ever written”

- Nesta’s healing journey: will her family (sisters) be a part of it?

“It will. Nesta’s healing journey is partly about her facing her story with her family and sisters and discovering/developing her own found family. It’s also about what Nesta becomes as a person besides her sisters with her new friends and family. Without spoiling it, there’s a lot of family drama and so much love in this book”

- Cassian’s gift box

“You will definitely find out in ACOSF. I love it, but you’ll have to wait.”

- About sex

“It is okay to feel good and want to have sex”.

- What she wants us to know about ACOSF

“It’s a very emotional journey of healing for Nesta and she faces the not so great parts of her past and her behavior and mental health plays a strong role, dealing with her depression and anxiety and in a fantasy world that doesn’t have the words for trauma anxiety depression. Nesta will learn to accept parts of yourself and coexist with these parts, not erase it. It’s a very personal book (then she talked about her own mental health).

“It was funny to write because I cried during the emotional scenes and also enjoying the sex and sexy moments. So while it’s definitely sexy, healing is a very important aspect to the book and it shouldn’t be overlooked”

do u have any theories regarding the ending of kingdom of flesh and fire??? that ending was crazy!!

I DO ANON!!!

**Spoilers for A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire ahead, obviously**

My brain has been working non-stop since I finished on Thursday with all the different theories. I’m going to break-up my main ones based on topics/characters.

What is Poppy’s lineage/Who is Queen Ileana???

So I don’t think what the Duchess was saying was a total lie. Yes, she was trying to get Poppy to come back willingly but I don’t think what she was saying was total BS. 

First of all, I 100% believe that Ileana is King Malec’s mortal lover that (as far as we know) got turned into an Ascended. If I remember correctly from FB&A, it was said that once it was discovered that he had Ascended her, they were exiled and had never been heard from again. I think Isbeth/Ileana had been pregnant at the time and he saved her to save their child AKA Poppy’s mom. This would also make sense with Poppy’s reveal as the last descendant of Nyktos since Malec was the last deity and was a descendant of Nyktos. 

Further, the Atlantians tried to have every deity killed after Malec, since they would have instant claim to the throne, so Isbeth had to assume the identity of Ileana and hide her child/grandchild away so no one would discover who she really was. Many of Queen Ileana’s actions feel like she has a very personal grudge not just against the Atlantians, but the Da’Neers in particular.

When Poppy confronts the Duchess in the carriage, the Duchess says:

“The Queen will be so thrilled to learn you’ve done what she could never accomplish. Seized Atlantia right out from under them, under her.”

The emphasis on her suggests, to me, a very personal tiff between Eloana and Ileana, which makes sense if Ileana = Isbeth. Also, when Eloana sees Poppy and gives up her crown, Poppy senses from her:

“...even as a potent, helpless sort of rage drenched the space around her, one that carried the stench of a long-buried fear come to fruition.”

I think that long buried fear was that King Malec had offspring and that they would come back to claim her throne, as would be their right because of their deity bloodline. 

What I still haven’t figured out yet is how Ian and Poppy’s parents fit into this. I am still not 100% convinced that who Poppy believes are her parents are actually her parents. Why is Poppy special but Ian isn’t??? There could also just be something special about the female bloodline in particular, but I am not sure. Also, where is Malec?? I doubt Malec = King Jalara so perhaps Malec did die a long time ago during the War. So many things left unanswered but I am excited for the reveals I know will come in the next two books!! 

Alastir is shady af

I think Alastir *for sure* knew Poppy’s parents and was contacted to get her out. He seemed to recognize their names when he asked Poppy. I think he realized what Poppy and her mother were and had them killed, but by whom I do not know. Poppy remarks that the man who held her wrist the night of the attack had red splotches, though I don’t know what that means since I don’t think we have met anyone who matches that description yet. 

Further, Poppy constantly notes how Alastir’s voice is so familiar and she assumes it is because he sounds like Vikter, but I think it is because she heard him before in her childhood. 

The night of the attack aside, Alastir was 100% involved in the attempt on Poppy’s life at the end. Beckett is his grand nephew and Alastir was a little too insistent that Cas speak to him alone, away from Poppy. Whether Alastir was following Jalara/Eloana’s orders or making his own, I don’t know. 

At the end, Alastir says:

“It’s not too late. It’s not, Eloana-”

Here I think he is talking about giving up the throne/crown. Everything Alastir did was to prevent Poppy from making it to Atlantia because he knew exactly what she was the whole time. He had always known. If Poppy had agreed to go with him on that first day, I am certain he would’ve had her killed. 

We get a false sense of security from Alastir because every time Poppy senses his feelings she feels that they are genuine, but he is over 800 years old. The man has learned to carefully hide his true feelings by now. Also, as a bonded wolven the person you share the bond with can sense some of what you are feeling and I don’t feel like you can betray that bond and their trust without being able to hide your true intentions. 

Should also note that Alastir is one of the only wolven at the end who was not put into their wolf form and trying to protect Poppy. Shady. As. Fuck. 

Those are the major ones I have for now but I am sure I will think of more haha. Feel free to share your theories/ideas! I want to hear them all!!!

I really truly cannot stop thinking about the scene in AKOFAF where Casteel is fully devoted to finding Poppy the perfect piece of cheese

Despite the fact that people are trying to engage him, their PRINCE, in likely important discussions about the future, he just nods along like yh yh great, I hear you, but internally he’s solely focused on his task of evaluating the cheese on offer, to the point where Poppy even notices & wonders why he’s been staring at the cheese for so long

Like?! If I don’t end up with someone who will prioritise scouring an entire cheese board just to find a slice they think will make me happy, over literally any other obligation they may have at the time, then I want no part of it

We all deserve to be loved like that

She took his hand, and he tried not to shudder in relief, tried not to fall to his knees as she slid the ruby ring onto his finger. It fit him perfectly, the ring no doubt forged for the king lying in this barrow. Silently, Rowan grasped her own hand and eased on the emerald ring.

“To whatever end,” he whispered.  

Silver lined her eyes. “To whatever end.”

A reminder - and a vow, more sacred than the wedding oaths they’d sworn on that ship.
