If Rhysand gets a free pass, so should Tamlin. AKA Literary hypocrisy born of author laziness sucks. No denying the ACOTAR books are popular and that they've spawned many demon children along the way. That's a lot of exposure to romantic and interpersonal ideals that's being shopped to young, impressionable brains. Post-ACOTAR incosisties, such as… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Tamlin…
Tag: a court of thorns and roses
Well hello again, Lestat.
Reflections on an audiobook revisitation, character retcons, and a podcast recommendation. Translate all that to mean this: We have no money to launch a real ecclesiastical career for you, to make you a bishop or cardinal as befits our rank, so you have to live out your life here as an illiterate and a beggar.… Continue reading Well hello again, Lestat.
I Love to Hate It: The Joys of a Hate Read
And #1 on the Hate Read list goes to...... I'm not a glutton for punishment, I swear. I take great pleasure from reading - it's my literal escape (see what I did there?) so it doesn't make much sense that I'd devote time to reading things I don't enjoy. I'm an adult now, so… Continue reading I Love to Hate It: The Joys of a Hate Read
ACOTAR – Full Highlights and Notes
Idk what anyone says, he's still the hottest high lord and I'd still let him eat me alive. There's really no point in putting up an ACOMAF highlight notebook without doing the same for ACOTAR, because you cannot look at both independently of each other and hope to understand why 1). Tamlin is deserving… Continue reading ACOTAR – Full Highlights and Notes

Don’t worry, Tam Tam. I’m on your side. Below is the full export of all of my highlights and notes, collected during my recent critical re-read of ACOMAF.

Excuses, Excuses (ACOMAF Re-read)
A victim of his creator Chapter 55 is probably the most well-known chapter in the entire series. I'm not going to go in to why, but while I will say that what I found kinda hot 3 years ago, I can barely stomach listening to/reading now. So while chapter 55 is infamous, I think… Continue reading Excuses, Excuses (ACOMAF Re-read)
My name is Danielle, and I am a Tamlin Apologist (an ACOTAR re-read)
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery, right?I will not feel bad for loving you Tamlin, and not just because you're super hot.Problem is, I don't really hate Tamlin, not like I'm apparently supposed to, and certainly like I felt like I should (and sort of did) after witnessing his total… Continue reading My name is Danielle, and I am a Tamlin Apologist (an ACOTAR re-read)
A Court of Hypocrites and Assholes (ACOMAF Re-Read, Chapters 25-31)
He looks so angry because he's smelling Feyre's bullshit. She might think it doesn't stink, but it does. I was not going to post another re-cap so soon, but the some of the shit said in these past few had me so boiling mad that I needed to unload or I'd wind up destroying… Continue reading A Court of Hypocrites and Assholes (ACOMAF Re-Read, Chapters 25-31)
Feyre is already wearing her Rhys-colored glasses (ACOMAF re-read – Chapters 15-24)
Poor poor Tamlin.It really is interesting how you remember things completely differently than you think you do sometimes. I came in to this re-read fully expecting to find gobs of evidence re: how Tamlin really is the crazy ex-boyfriend we're obviously supposed to believe he is, but it's just not there. And technically speaking I'm… Continue reading Feyre is already wearing her Rhys-colored glasses (ACOMAF re-read – Chapters 15-24)
