Casteel's pov is gonna be the death of me

twotq teaser

A ripple of static hit the air, drawing a hiss from the golden Rev. Slowly, her eyes lifted to mine, and I saw it—the glow behind her pupils. The power throbbed and then spread in thin streaks of silver across those beautiful green eyes. The sight was fascinating. Stunning. That stubborn jaw of hers tightened. She didn’t blink, and I knew that look. Fuck. I’d been on the receiving end of it, right before she plunged a dagger in my chest.

And I wished we were someplace else, where I could show her with my lips and tongue and every part of me just how incredibly intriguing that display of violent power was.

I mean- 🥵🥵🥵

Warning: The War of Two Queens Spoilers

I literally have no issue with Kieran, Poppy and Cas having a threesome, whether it ends up being a poly relationship or not. I'm fine with all of those things, and I would have been excited for it.

IF the connection between Kieran and Poppy didn't peak while Cas was held hostage. Your husband is held captive and tortured and you're having thoughts about his best friend??? Building a relationship with his best friend while he's held prisoner after sacrificing himself for you???

That's just cheating. I don't care that Poppy and Kieran were close before - it wasn't in this way. It doesn't make it less devastating that they didn't have sex before the threesome. It doesn't matter that Cas was okay with it, because they engaged in that type of relationship BEFORE he could give his consent.

The Joining and even a full on poly relationship would've had my support if it had just developed in a different way, during a time when Cas was present.

I am so heartbroken and disappointed 😞 Imagine if the genders were swapped here. Poppy would be more hated than Tamlin! And Poppycas was one of my favorite couples, but now I feel like Cas just deserves better. And Kieran was such a great character, but now he's unlikable to me. I don't know how the series is going to recover from this. How did no one tell JLA this was a bad idea before it was published?

I'm not sure if it's just me or not. Maybe it is. But I don't want the joining to happen. I won't absolutely hate it I'd it does but I've built the relationships between the characters of fbaa world to have really close friendships. Quite literally like a family Poppy never had the chance of experiencing.

Like Poppy has never really felt love until Casteel. She barely saw her brother and everyone treated her as the Maiden. Sheltered and not allowed to feel emotion.

Casteel and Poppy have just been through so much and maybe it's just me in my mind going "no, Poppy and Cass should stay Poppy and Cass" because to me it feels like such a more intimate relationship.

But I'm going to keep an open mind

It's almost midnight I've had a long day my brain stopped working I forgot the English language writing this. So it probably doesn't make any sense. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

y'all I don't think I am ready for Casteel's POV.

The trauma. The heartbreak. His endless love for Poppy. His devotion to Atlantia. His brotherhood with Kieran. His feelings after Malik's betrayal.

AKOFAF and TCOGB only really scratched the surface of Casteel's inner psyche and I just...

It's going to hurt a lot to watch this unbelievably loyal man realize his brother betrayed his kingdom and that his mother let him go that meeting blind all while reliving the horrors of his past traumas

I'm a sucker for sections in books when the narrator says "he/she/they looked entirely relaxed for once, like all of their burdens had been pushed down this once. the afternoon sun shone on the planes of their face, and you only had one thought - that they looked more beautiful than ever."

it's just so sweet, and every book needs one of these scenes - when every strife can be forgotten, even for a little while, and when the characters can let off a little steam and remain in a little bubble, no holds barred.
