r/nontoxicACOTAR

I’m rereading ACOWAR, just got to the part where Mor comes out of the closet to Feyre, and it just…..bothered me.

There’s nothing wrong with Mor as she is, and her not wanting her horrible family to know is completely understandable. But stringing Azriel along for 500 years just seems like a horrible thing to do, and her reasoning for doing so isn’t very good.

She wants to keep this part of her identity to herself, safe from the shame of her family, fine. But why not tell Azriel? She wouldn’t have to let anyone else know, just him, and it’s not as though he can’t keep a secret.

And she says she lets him see that she sleeps with other men to show him that she’s not interested, but that doesn’t mean anything, she could sleep with a zillion guys and still have feelings for Azriel. That sliver of hope would still be there for him, that maybe, someday…

I understand her not telling him right away, when she was still dealing with the trauma of everything, but she’s known that he’s been in love with her for 500 years, and she’s let it go on, and that just seems cruel, imho. Thoughts?

When Elain was put into the couldron, she was wearing her iron engagement ring. The couldron giften her powers of its own accord, but anything that goes into the couldron is automatically Made and kinda becomes a trove, which means the ring must have some abilities too.

I think since the ring was mentioned multiple times when describing Elain, it might be used as a plot device. From what I would assume, Elain still keeps it somewhere.

Do you think it might be related to Elain's powers? Or is it independent? What do you guess its power can be?

Genuine question. Why were Eris and Keir ever kept alive. It’s been a while since I’ve read the books but that just never made any sense to me. They despised both of them and all they did was cause more trouble.

Why were they not killed instantly??? And why did none of them even contemplate it??? It does not fit their personalities and stories at all

My husband doesn’t understand my dilemma but I’m hoping some of you will.

All of my ACOTAR books are paper back. It was my first set in romantasy and I wanted to keep my spending to a minimum but like I loved the series so Much I sort of wished I had hard cover so they would last longer. I can’t go spending on a new set so they will remain paper back… so what do I do for the next two books? The hard covers are the same price as a paper back at this point. Do I go for consistency within the collection or longevity . My visual orderly brain feels like it needs to be consistent but I’m unsure.

When Elain was put into the couldron she was wearing an iron ring from her engagement with Grayson, it is possible that it Made and giv
