When Rhys stans ask “why is Rhys different in ACOSF” and people respond “oh Nesta is an unreliable narrator”…..
Nesta’s view in ACOSF is THIRD person. Feyre’s view from ACOTAR - ACOWAR is FIRST person.
It was Feyre that had the unreliable view of Rhys.
Not to mention, Rhys acts exactly the same? It was just viewed through a different POV. But Rhysand fanatics can’t accept that. Their hatred of Nesta overshadows all of the terrible things Rhys has done. And honey, hate to break it to you but Rhys is terrible and he has lied and hid things from Feyre and his friends numerous times???
1] when he knew the attor was following her
2] lied to her about the ring in the weaver’s cottage and put her life in danger to get it (just to see if she could as a promise to his mom??)
3] SA’d her and drugged her in UTM (also twisted her broken arm) –> can someone please explain to me why Feyre forgave Rhys for this?? and the entire fandom seems too?? They literally make jokes about the way she was dancing drugged.
4] didn’t tell her the truth about him being her mate (idgaf if he said he kept it cause he wanted Feyre to be happy, she deserved to know even if she was happy with Tamlin)
5] didn’t tell Mor about the promise he made to Keir about the visitation of the residents of Hewn City to Velaris (now i could care less about Mor, I don’t like her, but not telling her, that her that she may run into her abusive father)
Moreover, Feyre talks to Rhys’s friends and family, so of course they will tell her all good things.
and again, It was Feyre that had the unreliable view of Rhys. People need to go back to elementary school to relearn the difference between first POV and third POV.
Google. gives us, “While first-person writing offers intimacy and immediacy between narrator and reader, third-person narration offers the potential for both objectivity and omniscience.” Take this what you will.
