I'm seeing Gwynriel/Elucien say they'd like potential Nesta POV for book 6 but how would that be good with Gwynriel/Elucien? 🤔

Nesta, or any one else for that matter, having a POV in the up coming books doesn’t have anything to do with Gwynriel or Elucien. It would just be a continuation of their voice in the story.

Ask yourself this. Did Tharion having a POV in CC effect Bryce and Hunt? Did Ithan having one effect Bryce and Hunt? Did Ruhn or Lydia having a POV effect Bryce and Hunt?

Did Aedion or Lysandra having a POV in TOG effect Rowan and Aelin? Did Manon or Dorion having a POV effect Aelin and Rowan? Did Chaol and Yrene having a POV effect Rowan and Aelin? Did Nesryn and Sartaq having POVs effect Rowan and Aelin?

The answer to all these are no, no them having a voice in the story did not effect the outcome of Bryce and Hunt’s or Rowan and Aelin’s story and relationship. So why would Nesta and Cassian or Feyre and Rhysand, or Mor and Emerie having POVs in the next book effect Gwyn and Az or Elain and Lucien being endgame?

This next book is three books long. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their voice and for Sarah to write Gwynriel and Elucien.

What's that? One of SJMs favourite tropes is *drum roll* MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE!!

Well, what if the Cauldron has nothing to do with it?

💖When they're both competitive af💖

The three of them made it to the third stage only once in the next two weeks. Roslin, Ananke, and Deirdre were close on their heels, propelling Gwyn to push her group harder. She wanted to be the first. Wanted Nesta and Emerie and her to be the ones who wiped the smirks from Azriel’s and Cassian’s faces. Especially Azriel’s.

Az had a vicious competitive streak. It wasn’t boastful and arrogant, the way Cassian knew he himself was prone to be, or possessive and terrifying like Amren’s. No, it was quiet and cruel and utterly lethal. Cassian had lost track of how many games they’d played over the centuries, with one of them certain of a win, only for Az to reveal some master strategy.

It’s not moving the goalpost, it’s not overcomplicating things, it’s not changing theories for the heck of it, it’s not contradicting ourselves. Sarah told us herself on Call Her Daddy that the format of the books from now on will be different. Yes, we thought we would get a book for Gwynriel and another book for Elucien, but now those two books have merged and turned into one giant book in 4 parts movements. As simple as that. New information supersedes old information, which in this case refers to each book following a single couple. Now the format has changed (we believe it will be multi PoV for 6, 7 and 8). When presented with new information, you adjust accordingly. Maybe you should try it sometime.

Hunt and Bryce:

“His lightning flowed into her like a river, and he could have sworn he heard a beautiful sort of music between their souls…”

Azriel and Gwyn:

“Azriel entered the warmth of the stairwell, and as he descended, he could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.”

2 & 3 for the gwynriel ask game please!!!

:)

2. What do you think music and singing means to Azriel?

Knowing Azriel’s backstory, I believe singing was a way to deal with the solitude of his father’s dungeons. Music was his escape. My poor baby.

3. What do you think music and singing means to Gwyn?

I think for Gwyn singing was always an expression of freedom. And now also a connection to a higher power. Prayer through song, joy through music. It’s her way to connect to what she once was, when she was free.

1, 4 , and 6 for the gwynriel ask

1. What song immediately makes you think of Gwynriel?

The Prayer bu Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. I think this is their duet for sure!!

Also, Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol. Ever since @smaheshbookish used it for one of her commissions, I was done for.

4. How do you think music will play a role in Gwynriel’s story?

It already does!! It’s one more common link between them. I also have a headcanon that something magical (literally) might happen once they get to sing together. I can’t wait to see what Sarah will do with this!

Number 6 I answered in a previous post.

💖🎶💖

[lplusl]

5 + 6

5. How do you think the shadows react to Gwyn’s singing vs Azriel’s singing?

Oh this is my favorite question!! I think they’ll go nuts over Gwyn singing! I think we’ll see some sort of a fun little display of twirling and dancing around. Something the Shadowsinger has never even seen!! And if both Azriel and Gwyn sing together? I think we’ll see what really happens when the shadows mix with Gwyn’s glowing.

6. Why do you think SJM connected both Gwyn and Azriel to music?

Like calls to like! Both singers, Carynthian warriors…mates!!!

You know how whenever we talk about Gwynriel + singing the only thing e/riels whine about is "no wants a highschool musical" "highschool musical cringe"

Like that the limit to their imagination and creativity....someone mentions people singing and this is the only thing their brain can conjure...

And that's why I never take them seriously...like pls go out and explore and experience more things than teen tv shows...and maybe that's why they behave like bullying teens who peaked in kindergarden.

[nymphpriestessvalkyrie]

The key here is Sarah doesn’t agree with them.

She has already written THREE immensely moving and powerful scenes that feature someone singing angelically and deeply emotionally affecting everyone who hears them. The concert in Crown of Midnight where the singer sings protest songs with the names of the people Adarlan has killed *in front of him.* Nesryn around the fire with the Rukhin. And Gwyn in the service that was so powerful Nesta was able to astral project and succeed in finding the Harp when nothing else she tried had worked.

Sarah appreciates and loves a good vocal performance. She respects singers tremendously, understands that music is magic, and knows how to write it into her books well.

It doesn’t matter what some of her “fans” think. All that matters is what Sarah thinks. And she’s made what she thinks crystal clear.

Does the purpose and meaning of the bonus chapter changes if Gwyn received the necklace or not? <- this is the actual question you need to be asking.

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Gwyn having or not having the necklace changes nothing in that chapter. Clotho having it, not having it, Gwyn wearing it or not, Elain wanting it back… IT. DOESN’T. MATTER.

Wherever the necklace is right now, it doesn’t change THIS:

“Something ✨sparked✨ in Azriel's chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left. He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to the House proper. How Gwyn's teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason... he could see it. But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly. A thing of secret, lovely beauty.”
