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…

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
ACOMAF Re-Read – Complete Notes, Quotes, and Criticisms
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. I tried my hardest to focus only on passages that showcased either the blatant revisionary approach SJM took to Tamlin, the blatant hypocrisy exhibited by both Feyre and… Continue reading ACOMAF Re-Read – Complete Notes, Quotes, and Criticisms
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)
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)
Where nothing is what you think it is (ACOMAF Re-read, Chapters 1-15)
Ianthe and Tamlin I wonder how many people started ACOMAF after ACOTAR and were like "wtf is going on?" Literally nobody behaves the way they did in book 1. Feyre becomes a meek doormat, Tamlin goes full tin foil hat, and Rhys is suddenly nice. Speaking of our boy Tam - he's not doing… Continue reading Where nothing is what you think it is (ACOMAF Re-read, Chapters 1-15)
