I would like to preface this by saying that I do not see Nora as a bad writer, just wanted to give my critique that has been bouncing in my mind for a while now.
I have read the original trilogy back in 2022 and even then ( even though I got HEAVILY into the fandom right away) I thought that the writing was not perfect.
Then, at the end of 2024 I have read TSC and I have registered some improvements (specifically if we compare TFC and TSC), I personally really enjoyed the first half of the book a lot, because it had some action and overlapped with TKM, giving additional details to what happend at Foxes vs. Ravens match (also it was just really funny for me).
That being said, feel like Nora's main flaw is a lot of descriptions of mundane tasks and it can get quite boring to read.
For example, TFC felt like a long epilogue, rather than an actual book and I could the same logic to TGR - I felt like it was unnecessary long. I see how her books are more character driven, however I felt like the books lacked character study and detail (especially AFTG trilogy).
The reason why I feel like a lot of people look past the faulty writing (myself included) is the way fandom compensates the lack of character nuance by providing genuinely a shit ton of fanfiction and fanart, as well lengthy posts in which people analyze every single miniscule detail. Without the fandom, the books would not be able to succed in the way they do. Like. People waited for YEARS to read new books (which were never promised, people just stayed in the fandom specifically for the fan work).
All things considered, I did enjoy the romance part, specifically how slow burn it was. Right now I really look forward to see how the jerejean relationship will develope and the new trilogy being dual POV makes it more entertaining.
I am not by any means a professional critic, nor I claim to be. Additionally, I would like to state that I know that my take isn't groundbreaking - I am just posting my thoughts.
Imagine,
Nico being so used to stomping down his emotions, to bottle them up to the point the only emotion he feels is anger, that he just doesn't understand how fucked he is. He doesn't know how to feel, how to be happy so when he is with the 7, he ignores them, because he doesn't know how to communicate with anyone besides Hazel.
He is depressed, the apathy is swallowing him.
When he meets Will, Will starts to slowly unwrap all the layers of defense. And Nico is scared, and he's scared that he's scared, he feels emotions. Wow. That's something new and new means bad. So he runs away from infirmary and hides in his fathers castle. Hades finds him under one of the trees in Persephones garden.
Hades says " Remember what I said about my children rarely being happy? "
Nico looks at him with angry eyes " Yes I do, thank you "
Hades continues " And I said that I want your life to be different. I know that you are running away from your feelings, you are afraid -"
" I. Am. Not " Nico cuts him off. He doesn't feel fear. He never does.
" Yes you are, my child, but it is nothing bad. It means that you are a living human being. All the people in fields of Asphodel, they don't feel fear, they don't feel anything besides apathy. But you are alive, so it's natural that you feel. "
Nico listens to him, considers some things and then replies " The only thing I ever felt is misery. "
Hades looks him in the eyes " But that doesn't mean that can't feel anything besides that. Maybe you should give Will a chance. "
Nico shots up to his feet " What did you say? " He tries to hide his blush by frowning.
" Even though I am a little old, that doesn't mean I am stupid. Go, my son. "
Then Hades disappears into a black fog and everything around Nico starts to get blurry.
Nico wakes up again under the tree but this time right beside the dragon who guards the golden Fleece.
He slowly blinks morning tears out of his eyes and looks up to find Will standing over him.
" Oh gods, OH Gods, I finally found you. Where have you been!? You missed dinner and before that you dissapear out of - "
Nico lost Will's theard of thought after this because he look so beautiful under sundown sunlight.
I genuinely have no idea how I could have possibly cooked up something like this at 15 years old...
Okay, maybe it is because english is not my first language, so this automatically makes me Alexander Hamilton
I think the devil was probably something Niall dreamed up, not the actual devil coming to visit him
Okay, that makes sense, since Meggie isn't really writing for the plot, more so for emotions

GUESS WHOS BACK DRAWING MINGNINGLING
its been a while since ive been able to enjoy sha hualing, its nice to draw her again c:
liu mingyans robes were heavily inspired by @junesfool work,,, because i just had that reference on hand,,,,,,,,, miau
would you rather publish a fic or book or whatever your chosen writing ambition may be, or eat raw chicken?
Jesus fucking Christ I didn't know i got sent messages and questions....
Okay, I think I would rather choose a gun cuz I am someone who cannot write for ahit besides some small prompts. I would rather make a comic tbh
Just finished the Raven Cycle series and...
Okay, but like... will the literal devil incarnate whom saw Niall Lynch be ever addressed ? Maggie Stiefvater casually dropped literal proof that God is in fact real in the TRC universe AND IT WAS NEVER REVISITED.
NEVER.

can’t believe Kevin has chemistry with two separate couples who have their own books centred around them — and Kevin plays a big part in both of their lives — and this guy ends up with Thea. THEA.
*Kevin breaks up with Thea*
Neil immediately texting Jean: Andrew and I call dibs on him.
Jean who was cuddling with Jeremy after sex: Fuck! That's not fair! I knew him first.
Neil: You snooze, you lose, Yves.
Kevin is stronger than me. If my celeb crush and my ex situationship fell in love and it was my fault, I’d crash tf out
A Foxhole Timeline
I’m a sucker for “remember aftg is set on the 2000s” and I don’t think I ever realized the things that were happening at the same time on the backstories:
1998: Mary runs away with Neil (10). Renee (15) is arrested
November/December 1999: The twins (13) find out about each other. Tilda begins hitting Aaron
Late 1999 - early 2000: Allison (14) is hospitalized for bulimia
March 2000: Andrew is sent to juvie
May 2000: Aaron and Tilda move to Columbia
Summer 2000: Nicky (17) goes to Germany. Neil (12) moves from Germany to Switzerland
2001: Luther finds out about Andrew, six months later (late 2001- early 2002) the twins(~15) meet
Spring/Summer 2003: Andrew (16) leaves juvie and moves in with Aaron and Tilda
Summer/Fall 2003: Tilda dies five months after Andrew moves in and Nicky (20) goes back to Columbia to be with the twins. Dan (18), Renee (20) and Allison’s (17-18) first season. Neil (15) is in Canada
Early 2004: Nicky (20-21) is attacked and Andrew (17) is put on medication
Summer 2004: Matt’s (17-18) and Kevin’s (18) first season
Fall/Winter 2004: Kevin offers a spot at the Ravens to Andrew
Winter 2004 - early 2005: Wymack offers a spot with the Foxes to the cousins (18 and 21)
Summer 2005: The cousin’s first season (18 and 22). Mary dies and Neil (17/18) moves to Millport
December 2005: Kevin (19) gets his hand broken
Circa April 2006: Neil (18/19) signs with the Foxes
Some things I had to left out because is not completely clear:
Nicky came out and was sent to conversion camp between late 1998 and early 2000
Matt was hooked on drugs for a few years starting around 1997 (10-11)
Renee was probably adopted by Stephanie in 2001 (17) (almost aged-out of the system wonder what would’ve happened to her)
Kevin found out about Wymack between 2000 and 2003
He and Riko also probably got their numbers tatooed in 2002 (West Virginia doesn’t have laws against minors being tatooed with parental authorization, but from my research most places will only do it from 16 or older)
Not an uncertain date, but for comparison: Thea’s first season as a Raven begun on summer 2000
I finished Babel last week and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. So, here’s an animatic about Griffin. MAJOR SPOILERS HERE!!
