Let's talk about something I haven't talked in a hot while.
ADVERSARY TO THE VILLAIN COMES IN 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!!
I'm super excited about the fourth book in the ATTV series, especially after finding out that it's not the last book. Like Hannah, woman, what are you COOKING!?!?
But like, let's talk about one of my favorite things about ATTV, and that would be the icon himself
After that cliffhanger in Accomplice To The Villain, there are two things I wanna talk about, that I've noticed Hannah has not mentioned AT ALL in her teaser videos.
Guys, please PLEASE tell me we all noticed a vibe between Kingsley and Winniefred!!!
As a Kingsley lover from book 1, his forever ride-or-die, his no.1 stan, I feel like it is obligatory for me to be overprotective of his potential love interest, and, in short, I will kill for the cutie patootie that is Winnie!
SHE IS SO LITTLE AND PRECIOUS!! LITERALLY SHE'S ONLY THREE APPLES TALL!! ALEXANDER, HOW DARE YOU POTENTIALLY GET SUCH AN ADORABLE GIRL!!!!
But I also love how they both currently have a mutual dislike for each other. The tension between them is about to be so good, as Kingsley dislikes her for being the daughter of the woman who cursed him for 10 years, and Winnie dislikes him because his parents imprisoned her mother for 10 years (and probably killed her). I am feeling the enemies-to-lovers vibes from them!!
Also, they are complete opposites! Kingsley is always described as charismatic, sassy, noisy, and very talkative when he's human. Meanwhile, Winnie is shy, timid, barely speaks, and she takes everything at face value (I sensed a bit of the tism in that girl). THE ROMANCE JUST WRITES ITSELF GUYS!!!
I can't wait for their interactions in Adversary, especially now that Kingsley is back to being human.
And that brings me to topic number 2:
Kingsley was hinted to be the traitor in the end of Accomplice.
Now I don't particularly think that he is the traitor on purpose. And I'm not saying this because I have an unhealthy love for the frog boy. I'm mostly saying this because of some little clues throughout the book.
There were so many moments in Accomplice where he would constantly go "They can't know the truth." and "Everything will be ruined if they find out." but it didn't feel as if it were his own thoughts to me. Mostly because they were also written in italics, which differentiated them from his normal thoughts in his chapters. I also noticed that a lot of the time those thoughts occurred right before he lost consciousness.
And also, the note he gave Clare at the end definitely had a double meaning. "It's me." as in it's me, Kingsley, and "It's me." as in I'm the traitor. The latter was also heavily implied by the crooked T in the note, which Becky had also noticed on the traitor's letters she found. But if he is willingly the traitor, then why would he give that hint to Clare?
I honestly believe that he is being controlled by Benedict. Remember that time in Apprentice when the shart was holding Kingsley when they were rescuing Trystan?? Yeah, I do believe he did something to him at that time because we never really saw the moment where he captured him. I believe that he was seeing some things through Kingsley's eyes and that those thoughts he had in italics might have been his.
Another thing is that I found it weird how those episodes of his only started up now that the gang is getting closer and closer to fulfilling Rennedawn's Prophecy. I do believe that Kingsley is a part of the prophecy-not the prince as we all thought, since that ended up being Trystan-but he is definitely an important part of it. I believe that might be the reason why Winnie's mom didn't want to turn him back even as she was about to be executed.
(Note: Take that last part with a grain of salt because her actual words when they asked her to turn him back were "I cannot." instead of "I won't." which could also mean that she was physically incapable of reversing the enchantment. I also believe that it can only be broken by true love's kiss, which is what sort of turned him back because Winnie licked the napkin to clean his face. Sort of an indirect kiss. Both of these theories are plausible to me)
And that is basically all I have so far!! Idk if I'll be able to read Adversary To The Villain as soon as it's out or if I'll wait for the physical copy like I did with Accomplice, but I can't wait to see what Hannah has in store for us!!
