12/10/2020 : Eh. It's still pointless lol

- - -

2018 :

So I was having fun with fellow book-blogger Melanie, talking about different things we want to see in the spin-off series and some things we want to see set up in this novella (lol Maas and her basically-novel novellas). Here are a few ideas/wants:

01. More Cassian and Nesta and their hate to love relationship. We all want it, don’t even kid.
02. More Lucien and his family drama. It would be interesting to see maybe Lucien getting picked over his brothers to be High Autumn and how they would react, would it not? That’s highly unlikely to happen but I can still daydream about the bloodshed and drama!
03. More Mor (lol “mor mor�) concurring her fear of being rejected by her family and exploring who she really is. This was left really open ended and kind of.. weird to me. So I would love to have it explored more.
04. Azriel getting the best happily ever after there can ever be in any life. Like he DESERVES it. My broody soldier.
05. Amren being Amren and being devious and mysterious and all together awesome.
06. Elain and the foreseeable love triangle and possibly going against the mate pull (or towards I LITERALLY CAN’T DECIDE AND IT IS TEARING ME APART).

Do you have any theories or wants? I WANNA DISCUSS!!!!!!

- - -

LOOK AT THE COVER LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL COVER LOOK AT THE SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL COVER!

Really tho, I like that the novellas actually are important to the stories for Maas and not just a filler.

And also I never knew I was a complete and utter fan girl until I looked down and saw I was complete and utter trash for this series.

What do you mean I have drool on my face from reading that title?

Brithanie Faith I need this rn! 👅 200+ extra pages of my faves,yes please! I need to know where this series is headed immediately!


Warda It's so perfect!!! 😍

R.J. OH MY GOD IT'S FREAKING STUNNING


cat (catherynereads) i feel you on this so hard


Michelle yes yes yes times 100


Ivusha (Tenebien) I'm not sure about Elain. I want her to be with Azriel. And I want her to be with Lucien. Agh. :D


Wren (fablesandwren) Ivusha (Tenebien) wrote: "I'm not sure about Elain. I want her to be with Azriel. And I want her to be with Lucien. Agh. :D"

I know right? I kind of want her with Azriel just to prove that "the mate" thing isn't like a "have to" thing. Idk, is that weird? lol


Warda Loooove these ideas!!!!!


Sail - A Wicked Reader I definitely want Elain to end up with Azriel!! That scene where he went to help her in the garden in ACOWAR just got me. He deserves to be happy and I think Elain will do that for him. And Elain needs to be treated right and Azriel is a cinnamon roll so of course he'll be good to her. I'm just complete trash for them basically lol (: Plus I feel like SJM is going to use them as an example of how mates aren't always right, you know?


Wren (fablesandwren) Warda wrote: "Loooove these ideas!!!!!"

Do you have any to add?! I want Elain with Azriel!

Yeah, that would be great. But I just want Lucien have his HEA, too... *insert hysterically crying emoticon*

You are right. But what of Lucien?

That is exactly my thought process too! I want her to go against it not only because I love Azriel, but because we haven't seen someone go against the mate bond like she says is possible. THAT is something I can get on board with!

Maybe a new character will but her head in? Maybe Elain will just realize she wants to be with Mor instead I JUST DON'T KNOW I NEED THESE BOOKS PLEASE lololol

Nope, not Mor! Poor Azriel AND Lucien, lol. :D And no, they can't be together after that. :D
If a new character comes, I'll be happy for Lucien.


Skyeler I'm kind of thinking that one of the spinoff books might be about Lucien going off to recruit the lost Queen or whatever that mission was for in ACOWAR because I feel like that was super convenient and we really need to see what happened. I think he may have fallen in love with the firebird queen lady (lol what are names) and then Elain and Azriel can be together! Idk that might be very far fetched but we'll see...

That would be great! :) Because if Lucien doesn't get a HEA, I'm gonna make Maas write it for him. :D :D :D

Oh that is def. going to be his storyline. You nailed that on the head. Maybe that will be where his love interest comes from.... ?!?!


Melanie Hey, I just saw this and I wanted to reminded you that I love you! 💘


Monique V to be honest when I found out that this was not going to focus on Cassian and Nesta I was mad! but I get the importance I guess of having a novella to tie-in the spinoff to the rest of the series. That doesn't mean I am happy that I have to wait longer for my cassian book!

Shay I want more Azriel. They should be together to prove the mating bond isn't a sure thing. I want Lucien to find someone too though...


message 22: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal I don’t want Elain to end up with Azriel because Az has already suffered through years of pining after Mor. He doesn’t need that added doubt of “will she pick him� his entire life.

Hey I love you too and thanks for talking books and theories with me <3

THE WAIT IS REAL. I can't wait to actually have the new story going. I am excited to see all of our characters again, but I really just want to get down into the new story like NOW.

That was my initial thought but then Halee pointed out something I didn't think of:

Halee wrote: "I don’t want Elain to end up with Azriel because Az has already suffered through years of pining after Mor. He doesn’t need that added doubt of “will she pick him� his entire life."

Like, I don't want him to live with doubt his whole life either. He deserves stability ):

That's what I would assume too! That love story was set up pretty well for a continuation.. don't you think?


Sibby (Novelties) Wasn’t Azlain (or whatever mash up Elain and Az are) already shot down from SJM? They’re friends, not potential lovers.

On another note, I just want SJM to confirm Mor is bi, homoromantic, so I won’t get my head bit off on tumblr/gr. People seem forget bi characters exist.

Oh isn't she already bi? I was pretty sure that was a thing. People should know by now that sexuality isn't so black and white.

And do you know where that confirmation is? I would like to know for sure if they are just friends!


Sibby (Novelties) Yeah, some people on tumblr are dead set that she’s not bi, and she’ll never see Az as anything more than family.

I think SJM confirmed at a book signing? I think I heard it on here.


✿ Z A H R A ❀ (Booksandepiphanies) i ship az with elain and i neeeed moooore of him pls 😢

This is what everyone says! I am on the same ship but I also have one hand over in the Lucien ship too...

I'll take your word for it!

Hal Also, in ACOWAR Lucien is telling Feyre that he doesn’t think he could be with someone like his past love and Elain is the exact opposite of her.


Wren (fablesandwren) Halee wrote: "Also, in ACOWAR Lucien is telling Feyre that he doesn’t think he could be with someone like his past love and Elain is the exact opposite of her."

You are bringing some big pointers to the table... I might be team Lucien...


message 35: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal I started thinking of that because when I noticed the Elain/Azriel ship I saw the posibility of Lucien/Vassa but I just feel like Vassa is too much like his past love and so that relationship wouldn’t really work I don’t think.


Ivusha (Tenebien) Halee wrote: "I started thinking of that because when I noticed the Elain/Azriel ship I saw the posibility of Lucien/Vassa but I just feel like Vassa is too much like his past love and so that relationship would..."

I might be in love with you after reading your comments! :D
But who will Azriel get?
I'm still undecided on the ship, but Lucien NEEEEEEDS a HEA. :)


message 37: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal I’m thinking Azriel’s HEA might show up in the next instalments. Idk I have a feeling he’s going to have a mate.


Ivusha (Tenebien) That would be awesome. He needs someone amazing. 😁


Wren (fablesandwren) Okay but what about Mor. Like I need her to raise hell and love herself and find someone to love her.

Also some people think that SOMEONE IS PREGGERS IN THIS.


Ivusha (Tenebien) Yeah, Mor will get there, don't worry. (but I still think Maas didn't plan on Mor's sexuality in advance. The whole thing felt cringey.) And the stars hint there will be a baby. 😀


Wren (fablesandwren) Yeah I don’t think it was planned either. And I don’t think we are the only ones who think that lol.


Ivusha (Tenebien) I lnow, right? It came out of nowhere and I was like: What? Am I actually reading what I'm reading? 😀


message 43: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal If anyone is pregnant, I immediately think of Vivianna and Kallias. And I seem to remember Mor and Vivianna’s sister? ;D (Is her name Vivianna I FEEL LIKE ITS NOT BUT ITS CLOSE YOU GUYS KNOW WHO I MEAN😂)


message 44: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal Also, I feel like SJM was thinking of Mor’s sexuality prior to ACOWAR. I’m reading the books out loud to my boyfriend and I’m seeing a lot of hints about things that I didn’t catch before. Like Mor spends a lot of time at Rita’s (I think it was Cassian who said this in ACOMAF) and isn’t Rita like a ‘hidden� gay bar // (I think Mor mentions that that is where she would pursue women in secret) // (also I’m remembering that Mor says she wishes to see her old friends in the new queen’s faces and then Later we find out that one of those queen’s was actually one of her lovers) I haven’t finished rereading ACOMAF or ACOWAR yet so there might be more clues but that’s what I have so far.

Oh that's so interesting that no one picked up on those! I wonder if I reread them I would find things like that... I'm glad to hear it was thought of beforehand!

Everyone says it is going to be Feyre and I am like O___O


message 47: by Hal (new) - rated it 5 stars

Hal I highly doubt it’d be Feyre especially after Feyre and Rhys talked about wanting a few years to themselves before having children.


Wren (fablesandwren) Halee wrote: "I highly doubt it’d be Feyre especially after Feyre and Rhys talked about wanting a few years to themselves before having children."

That's true. I'm just anxious to see I guess!


Ivusha (Tenebien) Halee wrote: "I highly doubt it’d be Feyre especially after Feyre and Rhys talked about wanting a few years to themselves before having children."

I know they said that, but these things can get out of hand, lol. :D

I feel like these things can be interpreted that way, but don't have to at the same time... Do you know what I mean? :D
