I see Gwyneth as one of the most intelligent characters in Acotar series. Even more than Amren. Amren is intellectual, but Gwyn... Gwyn is a strategist! She has a fast, accurate and tactical reasoning. We can see it in many scenes, specially through the Rite. Her mind is a truly warrior one. I can’t wait to see more of it in the next books of the series. The way her brain works is fascinating for those who can keep up with her 🥺🤩

The Warrior

Weary from the battle Angry at the world Sick with the worry Of never being heard. The fight lay behind him And another lies ahead. Sword drawn ready Heavy does he tread. Enemies …

Warrior Self

So I am dealing with this idea of my split self.  One side is the Warrior self.  He keeps me safe.  He protected me from the abuse as a child.  He cuts off feelings and emotions.  He makes it so I don't suffer.  He takes away my voice when I do suffer, so when I cry it's silent and I don't give my location away.  He also makes me very strong when I have to fight.  I am stronger than people that should be stronger than me threaten me.  I have put a kid's head through a drywall when I was 10-11 with his strength.  I have busted an assailant's head on a brick wall when he stabbed me.  I have fired on aggressors when they attacked innocent civilians on a broken down food truck.  He let's me kill.  He made it possible.  My warrior self has taken a 300 pound drunk out of a car, put him against the hood and cuffed then hogtied him when I was 145 pounds.  He has cut off my feelings when I saw my first drive by corpse in El Paso.  HE did it again when I saw the kids ejected from the car when it hit the light pole at 70 mph.  He put me under the hummer in the motor pool in Somalia when gunfire erupted and I didn't have a gun yet.

In each small instance of his appearance, I have been saved from something more terrible than I could handle alone.  I know it is the same me.  I am not proposing that I am two people in one body, but it feels different when I slip into the Warrior state of thinking.  I feel cut off, numb, isolated and powerful.  I needed him.  That part of me helped me survive horrific things.

How can I send him away?  I might need him again.  She wants me to talk to him.  I don't know what I will say.  I don't know what I will do.  What happens if she tells me to say goodbye to him??
