At first I thought it can’t be worse than ACOTAR (okay actually I do somehow like ACOTAR, I don’t like the next books), but then I have read ‘Kngdom of the wicked’...........

I actually wanted to read some Kerri Maniscalco’s books, such as ‘Stalking Jack the Ripper’, but then I came across this wonderful arts of the Wrath @morgana0anagrom did (HUGE FAN, she’s gorgeously talended), and decided to start my acquaintance with the author from reading ‘Kingdom of the wicked’ first

And here I am

Not able to stand even half of the book with MC bcs she’s incredibly annoying, hysterical, makes stupid decisions and kinda makes me feel for Wrath (feel sorry for him because he had no chance of killing her and ended up falling in love with her, we lost the dude).

Has anyone read this mess?

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

character with damaged childhood and white hairs: shows up

Honestly, I need to confess.

I feel really weird disliking R/hysand and still enjoying Balekin Greenbriar.

I mean, the book is all about to love Cardan, and I really do, but I sincerely love Balekin’s character even with him being pretty dumb, pathetic and cruel. Wtf?

THIS COMES TO DAIN TOO, BY THE WAY i was pissed off he’s been out of the plot so soon

Is there anyone else?..

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

Sounds preposterous, but I like Caraval as much as I dislike Legendo...

Which is weird, giving the fact how obessed everyone I personally seen with Donatella/Legendo (and Jacks) storyline (and incredibly rushed loveline lol).

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

To the ones who read both the Farseer trilogy and the Folk of the Air...

DIDN’T YOU NOTICE BALEKIN AND REGAL SHARE KINDA THE SAME VIBES DLXOSJNDKSAKB

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

Once I forget about any of my books crushes, another ones just suddenly appear from nowhere

Yes, I am talking about you, Verity, Burrich, Fitz, Rurisk and the Fool, come here, my babies

Let’s just admit Rurisk’s charisma could’ve saved the whole kingdom if he only could live a little longer than three fucking chapters

And on the other side the stupidity of Regal is just fascinating

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

Okay I... I thought I calmed down, but here I see the post about F/eyre becoming a HL and the comment below it that is OF COURSE says something rEaLlY hiLaRiOuS like “big fuck you to Tamlin”

I mean, there is some moments in his behavior we can argue with, but... THIS MOMENT IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!!

Wasn’t he just stating a STRAIGHT FACT by saying there is no HL in Prythian? I can’t remember if he said F/eyre would never be one or she doesn’t deserve it... Oh wait he didn’t :\\\

I’ll refresh the memory of the ones that can process information:

the whole scene was about F/eyre being insecure about her title and stuff, and literally (of course, out of her biggest shyness) said:

And Tamlin was like,

I mean... You don’t want them to call you HL? They won’t! :) Problem solved! Tam is the perfect bf!!! Yaayyyy!!! :))))

But F/eyre wasn’t pleased, so she went saying,

And Tamlin explained,

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE????

He just stated a fucking fact. Didn’t know people get hate for it these days. Of course, if it only doesn’t come to draw a difference between the OBVIOUSLY BAD GUY (sarcastic spoiler: Tamlin) and the perfect one (sarcastic spoiler 2: Rhysand).

You know what? Tamlin was and still IS right. There is no High Lady in Prythian.

Even though there is someone (not sarcastic spoiler: VIVIANE) who does deserve it, High Lords still are chosen by magic. The REAL High Lords. Not ones that become them just to prove something to their exes. And, the main fact, just because they were chosen by their mates.

I’d even understand if she’d been chosen by the people in the Night Court (yes, the WHOLE NC, including the Court of Nightmares). That would’ve been fair, and epic, and cool, etc etc etc

But this... Just leave Tamlin the fuck alone - at least with this one.

Best wishes to anyone who had a nerve to read this post ❤️

Before you say R/hysand is a good leader and the smartest High Lord in the history of the Prythian, let’s check his behavior on the High Lords meeting:

why. the hell. he. mocks. the high lord. on the meeting. that he. arranged. by. himself.

Seriously,

Beron and his sons (including Eris) had arrived, Beron hasn’t paid any attention,

His sons (excluding Eris) had sneered everyone,

Beron didn’t give a shit about it, but Eris *the smartest son* Vanserra took responsibility, because I already gave an answer why,

(and because he probably knows something that Rhysand doesn’t, I can’t find another explanation why he realizes they’re on the meeting and in need for everyone to be loyal, and Rhysand DOESN’T)

So. What we have is simple as math could be but never will: Beron is calm, his sons are calm, because Eris is smart and calmes them down.

So what Rhysand does next?

HE MOCKS HIM.

I get that it supposed to be funny and I would’ve laughed if it weren’t this situation, but... Is this really the smart way to behave on a meeting that you arranged?

When you need Beron to be loyal? And took your side?

When it’s not one of the most pleasant person to be around and, most of all, what the narrator herself admits, the most oldest of you - and the most awful?

I just-

Okay, let’s see what Beron does next,

And guess what... HE DOES NOTHING!!! He doesn’t give a shit!!! What we see is a grown up serious man - something rare in these series.

Rhys must’ve been so disappointed...

I mean, no one asks you to behave nice, but the least you can do - is to NOT ruin the meeting when it’s not even started yet... wtf seriously

In my opinion, it would’ve been so much funnier and smarter, if Rhysand would’ve knocked on the bond and said to F/eyre, You have no idea how many strength I need to hold myself from mocking him.

And she’d have been like, It must be very hard. I’m so proud of you.

And here they are - smart and funny. Jeez. So easy.

WHY OH WHY

And yes, Beron & Sons are yellow because they’re from the Autumn Court and, you know, most of them are redheads.

And Rhysand is purple you everyone well enough know why.

I haven’t read ACOSF yet (okay, I read Nessian moments) and I need to clarify... did Cassian really never say he loves Nesta back AND didn’t take the biscuit?

Sounds like a big drama for the next book to me...

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

...don’t tell me it’s all about to fall in love with OC just to find out he’s not even one of the MCs in the next book

*crying in heartbroken*

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

just thoughts on mor

The thing is (lol I literally typed SING instead), the main reason why I think that SJM’s writing is not so good (i mean, sometimes even I can find bright sides...), is because I just don’t believe her main characters. 

I have no idea how she managed to do that, honestly. And it’s not because they’re shady or morally grey (I can send this to Eris, NOT R/hysand), but because it’s simply the worst lack of writing. 

An example, okay. 

Do you even get M/or’s character? 

At first I thought I liked her, but as long as I kept reading, I found myself having A HUGE disconnection to her. I remember this time, when I got to this moment, when F/eyre said,

«She will never be like Mor,” I said. “She will never love freely and gift it to everyone who crosses her path.»

...and I was like WHAT, is M/or really like that? How could I miss that?

I realised that M/or in my head (how she represents by her actions and the way she talks) and M/or in F/eyre’s words just don’t match. Like, at all.

All I see about M/or is that she tortures A/zriel (for what, anyway? you don’t have to come out to just tell him you’re not into him), ignores him, makes him jealous of her and Cassian, gets mad for no reason, lies, starts fights with Eris (when he doesn’t even pay any attention to her AND calms his brothers and his father down, because he knows they have a serious meeting and he’s kinda grown up, right?), gets mad at Nesta (her so-called bff’s sister) and is really rude to her, and so on. 

There’s so many things that just disconnects to the way SJM wants to represent her. 

HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE LOVE FREELY WHEN SHE JUST CAN’T (i need to mark this moment because it’s when I bit fucking BUG that stuck in my raspberry jam, thank you) WHEN SHE CAN’T ALLOW HERSELF TO COMMUNICATE F R E E L Y WITH PEOPLE SHE CALLS FRIENDS 

and

HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE GIFT IT TO EVERYONE WHO CROSSES HER PATH WHEN SHE KINDA HATES MOST OF THE PEOPLE SHE MEETS (mostly, I’m hurt for Nesta, but she does shitty things to Cassian and Azriel, too. And leave Eris the fuck alone, he doesn’t owe you a shit).

just imagine having in acotar this one OC that is close to rh/ysand (or was?) and she’s like

Did you just really make that kid a high lady of your freaking court

Jesus i always told you are brainless

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

...and R/hysand be like, “That kid is the exact reason you and the Prythian have freedom”.

And she’d be like, “No. It’s Tamlin. And you. And Lucien. And everyone around her who wanted to break the curse and helped her ass”.

Seriously she couldn’t get an answer to the simpliest riddle of all time

“Don’t you think you have to watch your mouth in front of a High Lady?”

“No, I don’t. Anyway, I only tell the truth. You know, something that even your Truth Teller isn’t capable on”.

Sorry 🙂

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

Actually i feel like typing something nice so it wouldn’t look like I created this blog just to criticize acotar characters (which is true) so...

Have a good day ya’ll who had a nerve to read SJM’s books and suffered from it ✨❤️

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

I rly want to write a fanfic just to create one (1) single OC that will tell f/eyre to go fuck herself

[retired-hag]

@whatdoesthescorpiosay i may not have OCs that do this, but when I’m in a particular mood, I like to sit all the TOG and ACOTAR characters down at my little conference table in my pea sized brain and roast them. Point out their absolute lack of critical thinking and self awareness, and just how they’re overall bad people. It brings me joy

[whatdoesthescorpiosay]

@the-hellbound-hag lol SAME and i really love to imagine myself sitting at the high lord’s meeting and point out PURE FACTS about how insane the NC (also taking Lucien and Nesta by the hands and driving them away from F/eyre’s despotic madness)

But I never read ToG just because I couldn’t stand Celeana (or whatever her name is) even for a single chapter, so I guess God has saved my bain cells
