Aelin in Maeve's throne room during KoA: I should have burned this place to the ground when I had the chance.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS RIGHT THERE THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME
Sure, I saw the other hints and got suspicious, but this is straight up spelled out
I hope you are entertained by your prattling idiocy.” “Eternally so,” Aelin said with a mocking bow. “I suppose I’ll be more entertained when I wipe you from the face of the earth.” She sighed skyward. “Gods above, what a sight that will be.” Maeve extended a hand before her, darkness swirling in her cupped palm. “There are no gods left to watch, I’m afraid.

“We wait for the Queen of the Valg,” the spider purred, rubbing against the carving. “Who in this world calls herself Maeve.”

Maeve: *walks into the room*
Aelin: Why is she here? Nobody likes her
Rowan: Be nice
Aelin: *yells* WHY ARE YOU HERE? NOBODY LIKES YOU

That Maeve is a valg queen and she was once married to one of the valg kings (not Erawan) and she’s put herself in this poor fae for not decades, not centuries, but over a thousand years. There’s also princesses that Maeve could put in Aelin, and have her “return home” and kill all of her court so that no one will ever trust her again.
Until a queen appeared—her power a new, dark song in the world. Such wondrous things she could do with her power, such horrible, wondrous things...
