At this point, I think Bloomsbury is scared to release the title or she hasn’t finished her edits yet and they are going to push it back bc honestly what other reason is it when you are 100 days out and still haven’t said anything regarding what it’s about or title.

They either think they will loose preorders or she isn’t finished.

The only correct option tbh

[lplusl]

“But it wasn’t a private lesson”

“It wasn’t a one on one lesson”

“It was a group lesson”

It. Doesn’t. Matter.

Gwyn wanted him to go over dagger handling, so he obliged.

It could’ve said “the Priestesses wanted him to go over dagger handling”…but it didn’t. Why single out Gwyn?

Exactly.

can't wait to see azriel and gwyn arguing over something stupid and when she's about to leave, he grabs her neck just to pull a hard kiss, leaving both of them breathless!

And people are still trying to convince me that these two aren’t mates…

The real question is in what capacity, in the one book we have with Gwyn in it, in any detail or inkling in this book gave you any sort of indicator that she is evil?

My baby is the sweetest cinnamon roll girly pop who will slay her enemies.

But evil? Where? All because you THINK she is luring Azriel because she is a “lightsinger” and then you can use that to justify your ship?

I’m all for shipping who you want but do not talk bad about my baby bc of a ship. She is more than her ship! Thanks

They say Gwyn couldn’t carry a book like Ms. Yrene Towers didn’t fucking SLAY in Tower of Dawn and was even more badass in Kingdom of Ash.

Azriel's Icy Rage VS Gwyn's Once You Get Moving You Stop Noticing The Cold

[imwritingthesewords]

“Yeah, well Azriel gave Elain truthteller and he’s gonna train her to use it.”

Yeah, guess who already took dagger lessons? And whose best friend literally Made a dagger?

Gwyn and Azriel are gonna be yielding matching Made daggers.

Azriel picked up a flat, white stone and turned it over in his hands. “Rhys told me the story when he returned. And since then we have privately adapted the Nephelle Philosophy with our own armies.”

Azriel shrugged. “We—Rhys, Cass, and I—will occasionally remind each other that what we think to be our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength. And that the most unlikely person can alter the course of history.”

A Court of Wings and Ruin chapter 29

The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hundred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind. That he would tell his children, his grandchildren, Right then and there. That was when it all changed.

Azriel went wholly still, as if he, too, had felt the shift. As if he, too, were aware that far larger forces peered into that training ring as Gwyn moved

A Court of Silver Flames chapter 60

I am so glad we get to see the Nephelle philosophy with Valkyries, especially Gwyn

[imwritingthesewords]

Anybody else think they are not quite releasing the title of the books because they know it will be a dead giveaway on who it is about…. and certain people might get upset and not order/cancel their order.. cough cough e/riel…

[whimsycinnamon]

Gwyn and Azriel falling in love without being aware of the bond, and Elain and Lucien falling in love despite the bond.

the fact that we could be getting this gorgeous juxtaposition with two of the most beautiful love stories in acotar. I'm going feral🫦

[dimalry]

Another Gwynriel piece cause I‘m obsessed with them

[calmlynoisytradition]

Gwyn, without even trying and just by being herself, easily pulled Azriel out from the turmoil he was going through that Solcitice night and brought out the Azriel I personally like: playful, ironic, and awkward. It felt like he slightly let down his walls to bring himself out, when we know for a fact that he shuts down when he feels emotionally hurt for a long period of time. It felt... easy and light.

[yazthebookish]

From this:

"It's fine. I came to retrieve something I forgot." The lie was smooth and cool, as he knew his face was.

To this:

Azriel laughed. "I’ll give you that."  

Gwyn smiled broadly. "Thank you."

Azriel dipped his head in a sketch of a bow, something restless settling in him. Even his shadows had calmed. As if content to lounge on his shoulders and watch.

So I think it’s interesting that people are loosing hope about Gwynriel and Elucien bc of the podcast, and her saying exploring free will with Elain. But to me that doesn’t always signify that it will be E/riel or they will end up together.

I think free will is also explored with Feysand, as Feyre was falling in love with Rhys before she even knew they were mates. She stated that she love fell in love around Starfall and Rhysand did before the bond snapped into place under the mountain. Which she did of her own free will and no guided by bond.

I think Elain will chose Lucien because she wants to and loves him (obviously after getting to know each other and actually spend time) and not because of some fated bond. The same happened with Nesta and Cassian they have wanted and love each other before they really knew about the bond or snapped into place. Again I feel like was of free will

I think the same could also happen with Gwyn and Az too.
