Not to sound dark but if Cal and Maven both died, it would have been very poetic and the series would have made a full circle. Mare tells us in the first book that Maven and Cal are like Shadow and flame, one cannot exist without the other.

⚜️ one strange boy ⚜️
some of yall need to hear this!!
Guys guys this is for the three people in the world who have seen House of the Dragon and read Red Queen. is this man not the most Maven Calore ever?!!!
LOOK AT HIM HES SO CUNTY
something i love about maven's character is how conflicted he is both externally and internally.. wants to be in control but constantly controlled by someone else throughout his life. yearns for approval and love but alienating others away from him. feeling guilty for what he's done but not guilty enough to stop. adores his mother but being haunted rather than comforted by her voice. the most powerful person in norta but powerless when it comes to his feelings. thinks his brother would be inadequate as a ruler yet constantly feeling inferior to him. throws lavish parties for fellow silvers but feels empty and hollow inside. unable to dream, but often losing himself in memories and fantasies imagining what could have been. he cares, but it's never enough to save him; loves, but it's never hidden enough to escape his mother's marring; lives, but it's never bright or good enough to feel accepted and adored
if i had a nickel everytime i read a romantasy book about a poor girl from the streets who got picked to participate in a trial between rich kids with superpowers, while having to live at the palace where the two brothers fell in love with her before she betrayed them and ran away, i'd have two nickels.
I promised, so here. Maybe these will bring you joy when they don't to me
Only scene I care about bc Evangeline looks amazing in it:
The first arena scene:
The scene she falls into the grid WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE TWO THINGS OF OFFICIAL ART FOR IN TWO OTHER EDITIONS--
Scene she's introduced to court:
Gorgeous one of Marecal dancing which might be the best on a pure visual level but has no mareven equivalent bc GODDAMIT I CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
Oh look, Maven's chopped again. Good for him
Aaaaand another goddamn action scene. Thanka I hate it
It's missing details but yeah, mare 😺
