The Problem I Have with Nesta
Nesta has a lot of trauma and so do others, but she has attempted rape looming over her, a father that didn’t try much, the dislike of faes, war and the killing of her father.
Everyone handles trauma and grief differently, understood.
But what you WILL NOT do is treat your younger sister, who didn’t grow up the way you did, by not learning to read or know her family before everything really started to change, differently. Just because you want to show your father that HE needs to step up, NEWS FLASH, he isn’t so why not at least help your sister on the side or something.
Asking for fucking boots, when you sister just walked in with a big wolf’s pelt on her back, not “Are you okay, Feyre?” But for fucking boots?
Then your sister is taken against her will, comes back with more wealth for you to survive on and comes back with her mate and others to help you with war for those that can not defend themselves.
Next, I’m pretty sure if Feyre had it her way, she would have hid her sisters so that they were not left in the open to be brought to the Cauldron to be Made. She would have tried to protect them, if she knew. So for Nesta to CONTINUOUSLY throw in the “Me being Made was your fault.” line is a low fucking blow, because it was not Feyre’s fault and she knows it.
So, we get to ACOFAS and if you handle grief differently then others then go ahead and grieve. But what is not going to happen, is that you take MY money, not visit or say hi to your other sister. And go off to do whatever. You can at least visit or send a damn bird about what you’re doing. But to continue to expect money, while even your other sister tries to handle and get a grip of her trauma, is some b.s.
No, Nesta is a grown woman and she will do what she wants. There is no one like Tamlin around that locks her in her room. No one forced her not to eat. Hell from the way the Inner Circle works, they try to make sure she at least eats something. Cass even brought her some damn tea, but she didn’t take it.
What I’m saying is, Nesta has free will and can do what she wants. So no one is holding her back, because you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. And YES, Feyre needs to stop pushing her, and Rhys needs to do a better job of forgiving, but you can not continuously be cold and think people are going to keep going out of their way for you.
Like the paintings on the wall, Nesta you have not been around, why would someone keep something up that reminds them of you, when you show that you have no interest in trying?
All I’m saying is Nesta is grown, no one is holding her hostage, yet she refuses to at least try, no matter how VERY small the steps are, yet expects to be treated as if she never left or treated Feyre worse. Your own sister didn’t even think her big sister would help her with her damn reading lessons because of the demeanor she puts on!
I like the development of Nesta and I can’t wait for the next book, but she needs to go through a reality check, quickly.
