SJM needs to bring back Nuan. She is one of the coolest characters in the whole ACOTAR series! We only hear from her once in ACOWAR at the High lords meeting and then she is never seen again!!!
She:
- Created an antidote to Faebane that was indisputably a turning point in the war
- Is a MASTER tinkerer who created Lucien’s Metal eye (THAT FUNCTIONS LIKE A REAL EYE)
- Stared down a Highlord (Tarquin) 
- Has ties to a place called Xian (which I am assuming is on the continent???) and could potentially pivot the Series to explore the Continent
-Stood up for herself against Beron (fuck that guy)
(Warning: A Court of Silver Flames spoilers)
Just finished reading A Court of Silver Flames ( I know I’m late to the game)
Not sure if anyone else noticed it but in the blood rite when Nesta and Emerie receive help from the Illyrian dude (pages 671-674) he says his name is Balthazar
Balthazar means “Baal protect the king”
Throughout the entire series Nesta is referred to as “a queen without a throne”
So his role in the book is basically to protect the queen
Anyways, I hope we see him again he seemed like a decent dude
I just realized something.
We all know that SJM is heavily inspired by fairy tales and mythology.
In Crescent city Jesiba Roga (Bryce’s boss) is described as an extremely powerful witch who has a penchant for turning her enemies into animals.
She is inspired by or is Circe.
Anyways, Happy New Year!
What was SJM thinking when she made Illyrians a race with BAT LIKE WINGS live in the freezing mountains of the night court???
Bats have a large surface area because of their membranous wings
They lose heat very fast and that’s why they thrive in warm climates
They would all be freezing or dead
Elriel this and gwynriel that…
Naah, after ACOSF l think Nesta deserves at least one replication of that one fantasy (you know the one 🫣
Shit talk, Acotar brain rot, theories PLEASE LISTEN TO MY THEORIES (21 yrs old)
