#tye trilogy

[legendaryelites]

Some things I learned in the Marie Lu Q&A today

-She literally named Metias by slamming her hand on her keyboard until something that resembled a name popped up

-She ships Metias and (Raffaele I believe?) together

-Adelina was the most difficult character for her to write because of how dark it was writing from a Villian's perspective

-Kindom of Back may be expected some time in 2019

-Marie Lu's corgi is featured very briefly in Warcross

-A handful of scenes mentioned in Warcross are inspired by Marie Lu's time in the video game industry

-She is extremely competitive when it comes to Mario Kart

-She was originally planning on going to Law School

-She wrote fan fiction as a child, and her first one was about Sonic the Hedgehog getting crushed under a tree and having to learn how to live life slowly.

-Emika was originally going to be from Tokyo before the beginning of the novel was changed to NYC

-Marie Lu feels as though she relates the most to Tess from Legend

Spoilers for TMS

Holy shit did Teren just save Adelina??

Do I smell

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?????

Man, I still hate the dude

But POSSIBLE REDEMPTION ARC????

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Started reading The Midnight Star

I'm about 30 pages in and may I just say how adorable Raffaele crushing on Enzo after the bidding was

That part was sad

But honestly I love that reaction he had

So far I am loving this book a lot. Already want to sob.

[is-the-ocean-scary]

You know

I've always imagined Raffaele as taller than Enzo

It just feels right

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Y'all I just finished The Rose Society and I have some thoughts.

Spoilers ahead, be warned.

FIRST OF ALL

Y'all need to fucking start listening to Raffaele

When this bitch gets the FEELING that it's going to go wrong then this shit is GOING TO GO WRONG.

And he KNEW that resurrecting Enzo wouldn't be a good idea!

And what did everyone do?? RESURRECT HIM. OF FUCKING COURSE.

Also Lucent was giving big Janis Ian vibes in the arena-

I strive to be like Lucent. I mean, I'm already halfway there as a big fucking lesbian. Just need to get the badass part down.

And the slowly dying from brittle bones part...

Lmao Adelina sure do be in DEEP denial with Raffaele's discovery.

Denial is a river in Egypt

Also that scene with Maeve and Lucent? I swear I died. ANd it didn't seem forced. I'm so happy about that. I love my girls :)

Those last 2 and a half pages absolutely broke me.

Also that fight scene with Adelina and Violetta? Also broke me.

The scene where Raffaele calmed Enzo down? Holy mother of fuck. That broke me

This series is breaking me lmfao

Also I get why some people hate Raffaele so much but....honestly I love him. I get what he did, but honestly it was justified. I really like Raffaele as a character :)

“Someday, when I am nothing but dust and wind, what tale will they tell about me? Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.”
