I have hit the chapter with nesta's emotional breakdown and idk how to feel. The expression of her pain and depression feels real but also like the timing & the outpouring of emotion also seems ooc? I want to be relieved by this part but I am slightly thrown off. I'm not sure why though maybe I'm being overly critical.
Anyway, excited to finish the book. Pacing has felt really off until we hit the latter half of the story.
I relate so much to Nesta and the idea of feeling so much that you build walls to suppress that emotion and try and manipulate how people perceive you so that your true self is always hidden. And one of the most terrifying things to happen is for someone too see past your defenses and see your vulnerabilities and true character. In that moment, they have power over you. And that power means you are weak. In that little snippet with their meeting, that is exactly what Cassian does (but not with ill intent of course). I’m really excited to see how Maas decides to play this out for Nesta because this isn’t simply falling in love, it is her worst fear coming true.
So interesting that I wrote this years ago, and today I can see just how unhealthy this thinking is. Interesting. Anyway, relevant as I am halfway thru acosf hoping and praying that Nesta still has the time to get the actual therapy she desperately needs!
no one follows me here anyway but hello. I'm going to bring this book blog back to life. a few things:
- i am not much of an sjm fan anymore. i might even be a hater (i definitely am). that being said, im trying to read acotar4 (can you tell I really like Nesta) and I'm not gonna spread hate in the tags, just honest reviews.
- i never read empire of storms or finished the tog series and i never will
- i never finished crooked kingdom and I'd really like to one day
- i can't believe i was reading asoiaf wow. i watched the show like a normal person instead.
- i am reading a lot of nonfiction now so call me a true adult ty
- im really just here for art and laughs
I BOUGHT CROOKED KINGDOM TODAY AND I CAN’T READ IT FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS BC COLLEGE IS OVERWHELMING BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!!!!
I'm really dead I literally never read it it's been FOUR YEARS
My friend started reading ACOTAR. She loves Tamlin and thinks Rhysand is the devil. Whew she is gonna be shook.
Do I have to read EOS before Tower of Dawn? Are there spoilers for EOS in there?
The preview at the end of ACOFAS was better than the entire book. So I guess I'm trapped into getting the next book. I pray it'll be more interesting (aka more Nesta development & serious discussion about her depression).
ily: i love you
ilysm: i love you so much
ihnrimlbttidnhtwyn: I have no regrets in my life, but this. That I did not have time with you Nesta.
but in other news,,,, all these black and brown people popped up in acowar and it's lit
ACOWAR was disappointing. Weird ass sex scenes, poor pacing, not enough character development of minor players, and I wish it ended on a more concrete note. I'll read any novella about Nesta, but other than that, it's been a rollercoaster ride for this series and I'm out.
I complain all through any SJM novel but I will say, she knows how to close a book. I'm not done, but dear Lord so much is being revealed and I love it.
when I say I don't care about Feyre and Rhys.....I mean I literally do not care and would prefer detailed character development of everyone else
I'm reading ACOWAR, and I'm realizing that I don't really care for Feyre and Rhys that much. All of the "secondary" characters are more interesting to me.
Celaena awoke in her own bed, and knew there would be no more sedatives in her water.
There would be no more breakfast conversations with Nehemia, nor would there be any more lessons on the Wyrdmarks. There would be no more friends like her.
[…] Outside of this rotten, festering court and kingdom, the rest of the world had loved Nehemia. It was hard not to. Celaena had adored Nehemia from the moment she’d laid eyes on her, like they were twin souls who had at last found each other. A soul- friend. And now she was gone.
Celaena put a hand against her chest. How absurd— how utterly absurd and useless— that her heart still beat and Nehemia’s didn’t.
I want to finish Crooked Kingdom, I really do.....but this book is so damn dense. I am physically exhausted reading it. It's too good for me and my short attention span.
I love the relationship between Matthias and Nina. I mean yeah, they're adorable and have all this chemistry. But, the fact that they both have to unlearn so much hate for each other's culture is really interesting. It kind of reminds me of what interracial relationships may have felt like in the mid 1900s. But in both situations, fictional and realistic, love wins.
I could genuinely read a 300 pg book with just the entire six of crows squad talking about anything and everything.
