HOSAB SPOILERS

I'm definitely biased, because she's my favorite character, but after rereading House of Sky and Breath, I think that Hypaxia Enador, queen of the Valbaran witches, is going to have a big role to play in CC3.

First, aside from Aidas and maybe Jesiba, Hypaxia is the only character who can provide insight on what life was like before the Asteri, including what used to happen to the dead:

"Your tutors predate the Asteri's arrival?" Hypaxia narrowed her eyes in warning for Bryce to keep her voice down. "Yes. They were already long dead when the Northern Rift opened." "They remember a time before the Asteri -- when Parthos still stood?" Bryce ventured. "Yes. One of my tutors, Palania, taught mathematics and science at its academy. She was born in the city surrounding it, and died there, too. So did generations of her family." "The Asteri don't like people talking about these things. That humans accomplished so much before their arrival." "They are classic conquerers." Hypaxia gazed toward the Bone Quarter. "They have conquered even death in this world. Spirits that once rested peacefully are now herded into these...zones." (HOSAB, 599)

Hypaxia has lived in isolation and relative freedom, and so she's only had to gain kinds of information. Like many of the characters in Crescent City, she has not been forced to choose between close allegiance to the Asteri and the Ophion rebels. This means that while she can gain certain information, or potentially offer it, she hasn't yet had the opportunity.

Throughout House of Sky and Breath, Ruhn and Bryce both wonder if Hypaxia might be a rebel. Bryce even envisions her as a potential force against the Asteri in the event of her own death (778).

Though she's stood up to the Asteri, particularly when she removes Hunt's tattoo, we have no evidence that Hypaxia is currently a rebel (even if I'm personally hoping that's the case). In fact, given her position with her coven, and her relationship with Celestina, it's likely that Hypaxia has chosen to go along with the current way of things in exchange for relative peace and comfort.

However, I suspect that this will change in CC3 for three reasons:

Hypaxia is likely going to find out that Celestina betrayed Hunt, leading to his enslavement. She is too aware, in my opinion, to continue to choose her relationship over a status quo that actively harms her friends. This is going to be a compelling emotional arc that forces Hypaxia to navigate between love and duty and dreams. Also, I am ready for a sapphic romance between two women of color -- SJM, it's about time, so please make this great.

The Asteri are likely going to be shoring up their allegiances, which will lead Hypaxia to a show-down with her coven, who want a closer alliance with the Asteri (599). Now that she knows even more about the cost of the Asteri's rule, and its impact on her personally, it is likelier than ever that Hypaxia will move against them.

The dead are going to have a big role to play in the next book, as a source of wisdom and potentially as an army. As of now, Hypaxia is the only person we know who can contact them. (Sidenote: I know that Nesta has the Mask that can raise the dead, but since there's a character in Crescent City who can do it, I'm assuming that Hypaxia will be more involved in this series.)

Now, we know that necromancers are highly regulated (456), and Hypaxia has more reasons than most, like care for her peoples' lives, to stay inside of those regulations. But the Asteri clearly have some concerns about these powers.

Because, let's not forget this key point: Enadors, including Hypaxia, can raise the dead (568). We know that Bryce and company need armies. What if Hypaxia is able to raise the people of Parthos to come to her aid? What if she was able to provide an army greater than what even her fellow witches could provide?

I suspect that these developments will make Hypaxia, with her self-assurance and her quiet courage and her deep knowledge, into a central figure in the growing rebellion in Midgard. I think that they draw her into a closer orbit with Lidia, and to the restoration of their world.

But if for whatever reason, Hypaxia instead follows a path similar to Celestina's, choosing love and comfort over the larger cause, this is also a fascinating story. I think the latter option is unlikely based on what's been set up so far, not to mention the fact that this arc is too similar to Celestina's, but I do think it's worth noting that either path is compelling. This is a signal that a character has a lot of potential.

We haven't seen a lot of Hypaxia in Crescent City, and I wonder if this is because she's already so uniquely self-assured and competent that she would steal the show. However, I think SJM has been quietly setting up her story, giving her emotional stakes, important choices, and key powers that will put the witch-queen in the center of the action in CC3. I, for one, absolutely cannot wait.

ㅤㅤㅤMy OneShots and Fanfics.

Here are my Imagines organized, easier to find for you and for me. Welcome to my head, a place where you're not going to want to be for long but in a tiny piece of time it's cool sometimes. You'll find here the craziest ideas that came from the back of my mind or the other people's ones.

I hope you guys enjoy it and if you want to request something I finally got to put everything open so feel free to give me some ideas of what or who to write, your idea is very welcome and I'd appreciate it a lot. You can use the ask button somewhere on my account or dm me with your idea if you feel more comfortable.

I'm going to add some prompts right below if you know the character you want but don't have any plot in mind. Use how many prompts you want, but let me know if it's smut, fluff, or angst.

ㅤㅤㅤPrompts:

1. "Of course I came to save you. What kind of question is that, dumbass?"

2. "Oh my fucking God, you talk so much. Just kiss me already."

3. "I love you" "Well, I don't"

4. "I have loved you since we were fifteen, do you realize that? And when I'm finally over you, you think you have the right to say that?" "Are you over me?" "Of course not"

13. "I can barely see you" "Please, don't close your eyes, I'm begging you, just stay with them open"

14. "I've never regretted something in my life more than I do now. I wish I've never met you"

15. "So you're in love with me" "No, I'm not" "Yes, you are"

16. "Why are you taking photos of me?" "Because I want to, now stop and smile."

17. "You're so rude" "And you love me"

18. "How could you do this to me?"

19. "I thought I could trust you"

20. "I thought I could trust you" "You always think the best in people, don't you, darling?"

21. "Are you coming to see the game?"

22. "Came here and I'll kick your ass" "Let's see who's better"

23. "Are you bleeding?" "I have things to distract myself, darling, don't worry" "I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU WHILE YOU'RE GUSHING BLOOD, STUPID"

24. "Do you want me to fuck you?" "Yes, please"

25. "Why are you so mean?" "Because you deserve it, now shut up"

26. "You ruined my life"

30. "Who did this to you?"

31. "I'm going to kiss you now"

32. "Can I kiss you?"

Rough sjm interview recap:

Cc3 is confirmed next, likely will be 18 months to 2 years since there's so much to tie together

She thinks this will be her longest book ever

Ruhn, Baxion, and Hunt are going to be going through some pretty horrific things in the dungeon--she said she's not sure if her editor will say what she has now is "too much" 😬

The 8 pointed star and Aelin's travel through Prythian will get fully explained (in terms of there being multiple worlds, it didn't seem like Aelin would make an appearance)

Lots of things with Bryce transitioning from a modern world to Prythian!! (specifically toilet paper lol)

Hunts lineage will get explained

She was well into the creative process for cc before thinking about the crossover

Nyx features in the book! And everyone is very protective of him!

As of now, cc3 takes place roughly 6 months after acosf

There will be setup for future acotar and cc books in cc3

enjoy some memes i made for the crave series

Just finished House of Sky and Breath. I'm just supposed to go to sleep after Sarah J. Maas broke me like that?...

Anyway, now seeking friends to discuss this with at length.

Lidia's story about a witch

Once upon a time, before Luna hunted the heavens and Solas warmed Cthona’s body, before Ogenas blanketed Midgard with water and Urd twined our fates together, there lived a young witch in a cottage deep in the woods. She was beautiful, and kind, and beloved by her mother. Her mother had done her best to raise her, with her only companions being the denizens of the forest itself: birds and beasts and the babbling brooks.

She grew older, strong and proud. But a wandering prince passed by her clearing one day when her mother was gone, beheld her beauty, and wanted her desperately to be his bride.

She had no interest in princes, or in ruling a kingdom, or in any of the jewels he offered. What she wanted was a true heart to love her, to run wild with her through the forest. But the prince would not be denied. He chased her through the wood, his hounds following.

As she ran, she pleaded with the forest she loved so dearly to help her. So it did. First, it transformed her into a deer, so she might be as swift as the wind. But his hounds outraced her, closing in swiftly. Then the forest turned her into a fish, and she fled down one of the mountain streams. But he built a weir at its base to trap her. So she became a bird, a hawk, and soared for the skies. But the prince was a skilled archer, and he fired one of his iron-tipped arrows.

It struck her breast, and where her blood fell, olive trees sprouted. As her body hit the earth, the forest transformed her one last time…

The forest turned the witch into a monster before she hit the earth. A beast of claws and fangs and bloodlust. She ripped the prince and hounds who pursued her into shreds.

She remained a monster for a hundred years, roaming the forest, killing all who drew near. A hundred years, so long that she forgot she had once been a witch, had once possessed a home and a forest she loved.

But one day, a warrior arrived in the forest. He’d heard of the monster so vicious none could kill it and live. She set out to slaughter him, but when the warrior beheld her, he was not afraid. He stared at her, and she at him, and he wept because he didn’t see a thing of nightmares, but a creature of beauty. He saw her, and he was not afraid of her, and he loved her. His love transformed her back into a witch, melting away all that she’d become. They dwelled in peace in the forest for the rest of their immortal lives.
