Let’s Talk About Tamlin…

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…

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).

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)

Happily Ever After…for now (an ACOTAR re-read)

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)
