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.
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)

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)

Some day your prince(ss) will come, Tam. So I finally made it to the end. There are a couple of big points that I wanted to note (thank the Cauldron for Audible's bookmark feature. FYI the OCD part of me is probably going to go back and mark everything in my Kindle that I… Continue reading Happily Ever After…for now (an ACOTAR re-read)
Hindsight is 20/20 (an ACOTAR re-read Chapters 27-36)
This book is doing nothing to convince me that Tamlin really was a shit from the jump, as so many who jumped to Team Rhys would like one to believe.Don't get me wrong, the breadcrumbs are definitely there if you look/listen for them, but really all I'm learning on this go-around is that it seems… Continue reading Hindsight is 20/20 (an ACOTAR re-read Chapters 27-36)
