Do you still believe (or have ever believed) that SJM is a good writer? Cause I always though that she was super overestimated but had good ideas, but now I totally think she just has a hype, bc the level of the mistakes in acosf is so much like unprofessional that is hard for me to believe she is a writer and this is her living and she has sold idk how much books all over the world

Sigh...no. She used to be a good writer. But she's stopped improving. She's just no longer interested in honing her craft; only writing the same sex scenes over and over again with a poorly lit fantasy world as a backdrop.

Throne of Glass was a really good book, it was an impressive debut, and it was incredible considering the fact she started writing it when she was sixteen and published in her early twenties. ACOSF was...meh. Parts of it were fun, but in the context of the series as a whole, disappointing at best. World building was wildly inconsistent, as were characters.

One thing I noticed while doing my reread of the series is that every time Nesta was going to say something real, she was interrupted by someone or something. What was the point of that buildup? Nesta wasn't a sweet, lovable girl before the war. She and Feyre have never had a good relationship (save those few weeks after she came back from Spring); why not? We don't know. Someone had a good post about it ( @caotica-e-quieta I think?) about bitches being bitchy because they're bitches. Yeah, pretty much.

So there was no real healing from her trauma because her trauma did not begin or end with the war. So much canon was ignored for the sake of...what, exactly? A feysand baby? Why on earth was that the crux of Nesta's novel?

On one hand, whatever. Writing the same smut dynamic over and over again and making literal millions off it...good for her. Like, dream job. But on the other hand...don't you care about your readers? Your world? I don't think she does. I think somewhere along the lines she just stopped caring about more than characters because...she doesn't have to and plot is too much work.

I am incredibly disappointed in her team, though. Bloomsbury should know how to work with authors who can't be bothered to fulfill their obligations to their readers. (Worth noting, perhaps? A different woman was credited and thanked as her agent in ACOSF.)

An actual man in an actual suit with an actual job in his actual twenties came up to me and had the most perfect conversation with me and I'm in heaven. He looked like Dorian, y'all. DORIAN.

Good for you, girl!!!!! Did you get his number? :D

He’s moving to Hawaii in 5 days and wanted a conversation with a stranger. He had a tie. And blue eyes. And dark hair. And nice forearms.

HE WHAT? Are you serious?????? 

His name is Kaden and we talked about books and movies and travelling and politics.

If thia were a book youd meet at the exact same spot tomorrow and talk more.

HE WAS LOVELY AND THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF SEXY AND CUTE

He stutters when he gets excited.

I am DYING why didn’t you get his number?????

UPDATE!!! I WAS WALKING HOME AND SAW HIM WAITING OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT FOR HIS FRIEND (MALE FRIEND). HE CROSSED THE FOUR-LANE STREET IN HIS SUIT AND SAT WITH ME. HE ASKED IF HE COULD SEE ME AGAIN BEFORE HE LEFT AND I GAVE HIM MY NUMBER AND GUESS WHAT? HIS FRIEND HAD FLOWING RED HAIR AND A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR. SO BASICALLY I MET DORIAN AND LUCIEN. AND I’M GOING ON A DATE WITH DORIAN (KADEN) ON MONDAY

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

KADEN AND JUSTICE. THEIR REAL NAMES WERE KADEN AND JUSTICE. AND I’M CLARIE AND THIS IS SURREAL. I’M TRYING TO NOT PSYCH MYSELF OUT.

YOURE LIVING THE DREAM LIKE…THE ACTUAL DREAM. I shall live vicariously through you friend. This is just so AMZING I CANNOT STOP SQUEALING. IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU.

I PROMISE TO KEEP YOU GUYS UPDATED

I’m so happy about this !!

Is this for real??

This is for real.

When we sat together, his actual words were: “I know this is breaking the rules of what I said when I first walked up to you, but could I see you again before I leave?”

This is so cute omg I hope your date goes well!

Lol imagine him reading this post 😂

So has this date happened yet?? How many of the five days are left????? I’m freaking out right now and need updates!!!

HE TEXTED

WHAT DID HE SAY

“It’s late and I’m about to go to sleep but I couldn’t not text you before going to bed… It’s Kaden, by the way.”

What the FUCK I can’t put in the snoop dogg this is the cutest shit I’ve ever seen pic but IMAGINE ITS THERE

He asked what I hope to dream of tonight (we talked a bit about dreams earlier) and I’m a tired girl, so I said “Something good, I guess.” His response: “I’m asking myself the same question and I keep landing on ducks. I don’t understand the correlation, but it seems to be my heart’s desire tonight is ducks.”

Awwww 💕😍

okay so yes i was scrolling through old posts from the glory days and this made me snort out loud.

i'm just remembering cassian thinking in acosf that he eventually got over his thirst for mor and now they're like family.... 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

A good gay concept is Cresseida and Mor going to banquets together. Mor is in a tux and heels and Cresseida is in a beautiful golden evening gown. They’re the best dressed couple of the night.

I ship Cressigan so much y'all
