I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal. I was a survivor, and I was strong. I would not be weak, or helpless again. I would not, could not be broken. Tamed.

I love the “Feyre is a beast” reminder in acosf. With everything happening with her being kidnapped, abused, going through months of torture, dying twice, the war, leaving Tamlin, I think it’s easy to forget that this happened to her in under 3 years. She has only been a high lady for a moment. The rest of the leaders even women like the high lady of the winter court have centuries on her. Feyre was a human for majority of the time and still did just as much.

No one was my master—but I might be master of everything, if I wished. If I dared.

I miss Feyre who was hurt and angry with her sisters and who only did things because she felt obligated, because she wanted her parents’ love. I don’t like the forced image that SJM has created, where Feyre is extremely benevolent no matter what the actions of the people around her, and this extends from acowar to acosf. I imagine the Feyre of acotar and acomaf would tell her sisters to fuck off. her mother and father died, she has no obligation to anyone and if she wanted to, she could leave them both without a roof and money.

some people think it’s bad that Feyre finally took action in acosf and tells Nesta to either back off or change her attitude, and I wish she had been worse. I wish she’d said a lot more, and a lot longer ago, because the country, the money, and the houses are all Feyre’s. those who think otherwise just haven’t read acotar, because none of Feyre’s family deserved anything from her.

I hate that SJM has considerably erased Feyre’s angry and direct personality by wanting to make room for characters as bland as Nesta and Elain.

So that’s what you dream about, becoming a monster. I dream about being with you forever.

between Aelin saying that Rhys is beautiful beyond reason, Bryce commenting on his beauty, Emerie and Gwyn blushing when he appears and Nesta saying that everyone lusts after him, my favorite passage is Cassian describing ‘’his black hair ruffled by a breeze, as if even the wind loved to touch him.’’ such a masterpiece. 

Feyre and Rhysand 🖤
