Throne of Glass Series

Elide Lochan & Lorcan Salvaterre

Lorcan reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. Hopeless, bleak eyes met his. He brushed away a stray tear with his thumb. “I made a promise to protect you. I will not break it, Elide.” “I will always find you,” he swore to her. Her throat bobbed. Lorcan whispered, “I promise.”

✨ some of MY OPINIONS on HOSAB ✨

SPOILERS AHEAD

• First of all, there’s just WAYYY too much going on. It felt a little too ambitious at times. too many plots, subplots and characters

• Bryce isn’t particularly likeable to me, she feels arrogant, selfish and refuses to take criticism or advice from others even when it’s valid. It’s her way or the high way. She’ll decide to do something and nothing anyone else says will sway her opinion, even when it’s clear to others and to the reader it’s a bad decision

• The others thinking Bryce could rule the fae at this point doesn’t make sense. She has no royal or strategic training, doesn’t think plans through, makes decisions mainly based on what she wants and the only moments I could see her fully taking charge was when the others compared her to her father. Someone who she claims she’s nothing alike/ wants nothing to do with yet uses his name and position to get her way, and cry’s ignorance once she has to deal with the consequences for her actions. She could get there someday, but I don’t think she’s ready for that comparison yet

• Cormac was a completely wasted character, he had so much potential and was just used by the others at every turn yet none of them really helped him. Bryce in particular messed him over

• Ruhn had the most growth in this book. He felt the most rounded out as the book progressed and his character was very endearing

• The Hind has become one of the most interesting characters now. No questions please.

• Bryce had no right hiding Emile from Cormac. That decision in the longterm is probably the right decision but Cormac, as Sofie’s partner, as someone Sofie died entrusting Emile to his care, had every right to at least meet with him once to check on him, tell him stories of Sofie and make sure he’d be cared and loved for before they took him away

• Danika began to feel like a tool to progress the plot or reveal information. It became almost a running joke for me while reading. The constant reveals about her past felt very heavy handed and it made it seem like Danika and Bryce where only surface level friends. They clearly loved each-other, but what did Bryce really know about her that others didn’t?!

• Ithan being in love with Bryce was a useless plot point. It didn’t need to happen, it has no impact on the story at all other than to make us and some characters feel sorry for him. He has so many other interesting plot points and characteristics and I think it would have been much more interesting to focus on his feelings of isolation after being cut off from the pack, and his brothers death, than it did for him to keep feeling bad about being in love with Bryce. Them having a more sibling esc relationship like they did in the first book makes much more sense

• A lot of the villains felt like the same person with a different appearance. Like okay it’s a war, there’s going to be bad people, but a lot of them, mostly the triarii, felt like Maas said ‘copy and paste’.

• I can’t even begin to describe my frustration with Tharion’s character. He was good for comic relief and I like him, but he had many outs he could have taken to leave the Blue court earlier, but ended up putting himself in an arguably worse of situation by the end of the book. His excuse of not wanting to leave his parents ended up being useless because he did it anyway

• Otters in vests… otters in vests!

• I did like how Maas showed the fanaticism on both sides of the war. With the humans and Vanir. It showed how at this point, there’d be no winners to the war and that everyone would loose either way

• The relationship between Bryce and Hunt felt unbalanced to me. It felt as though Hunt was constantly sacrificing, giving up and ignoring his own feelings and thoughts about things to go along with what Bryce wanted and what she decided was the right thing to do. Bryce didn’t seem to really take his advice or opinion into consideration when making plans, and I felt like there was a distance between them because of this. Again, they clearly love each other. But a lot of things Hunt said to her, concerns he bought up, went ignored. And him having self doubt when Bryce went behind his back to arrange the Emile situation, really hurt, because eventually he would have come around and wanted to help her but instead he felt ostracised.

• The constant calling men ‘Alphaholes’ when they voiced their opinion, acted a little defensive of those they cared about or said anything against the female opinion felt like forced feminism. It really said gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.

• Based on the cliffhangers I’m nervous with the direction Maas’ work is going to take. I love her books sm but if she try’s to bring even more characters/ plots into Crescent City’s, I think it’ll become to much/ too overwhelming. And there’ll begin to be more plots left unfinished or bought to unsatisfying conclusions.

i have many more opinions these are just some of the main things i had issue with, it does feel a bit like a fu to Bryce, but I really had issues with her in this book :(

I'm calling it right now, Flynn and Ari are mates. FIGHT ME

I MEAN LOOK AT THIS SHIT

Quotes that made me scream:

“According to our oldest legends, most now forgotten, we were created by being souvenir gods—and monsters. The Daglan. They ruled for millennia enslaved us and humans. They were petty and cruel and drink the magic of the land like wine.” -ACOSF ch55

“— our initial attempt at revenge was foiled by your ancestor who also bore that star on her chest. The Fae has still not a tone for the desk of our brothers and sisters. Their homeworld was rich in magic. I crave more of it.” —Rigelus, HOSAB ch 76

“Your ancestors wielded the horn and another day object that allowed them to enter this world. Stolen, of course, from the original Masters are people. Our people, who built their some warriors in that world to be their army. All of them prototypes for the angels and this one. And all of them traitors to their creators, joining the Fae to overthrow my brothers and sisters 1000 years before we arrived on mid guard. They slew my siblings.” —Rigelus HOSAB

“ not your kind of Fae, of course—your breed dwelled in a lovely, verdant land, rich with magic. If it’s of any interest to you, your star born bloodline specifically hailed from the small isle a few miles from the mainland. And while the mainland had all manner of climbs, the isle existed in a beautiful near permanent twilight.” —HOSAB ch 73

This is definitely talking about the Prison and all the theories about it being the dusk court? SJM is setting things up.

Dorian: lately, i’ve been feeling off...

Manon, panicking: let’s have sex
