House of Sky And Breath Theories (contain Spoilers)
sooo i just finished hosab and let me say it was so fucking amazingggg! while reading i got a few new theories about the worlds of crescent city, acotar and throne of glass
DO NOT - AND I MEAN IT - DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON´T WANT TO SEE/READ ABOUT THE SPOILERS!!!!
Amren is the 7th lost Asteri sister
- They say that the Prince of the Pit swallowed the 7th Asteri, Sirius, whole, but what if he didn't? Perhaps she didn't like what the Asteri stood for, and the swallowing was a method of dragging her into Prythian
- "No one has spoken that language in this world for fifteen thousand years" is quoted by Amren when Bryce first speaks to her in HOSAB...interesting that the 7th Asteri sister was swallowed by the prince of pit 15,000 years ago - to me the timelines match up
- I know Amren doesn't feed on first light, but she does drink blood...something of power in itself, taken unwillingly
- She is said to be a powerful creature of unknown origins, but that doesn't mean that she isn't Asteri. They have chosen angel like bodies but that's not to say they true form is any different to what Amren was before she chose to be put in a fae body
-> Could be grasping for straws here but it feels RIGHT
Ruhn looks like Rhys - are they related?
- are Rhy's ancestors part of the original fae that went to Lunathion? After all, Theia and "her people were already in Lunathion" when the Asteri arrived (see next bullet to explore this)
-> Funny how we don't know Rhys' last name. Could it possibly be... DANAAN?
Bryce and Ruhn's ancestors came from Prythian and ultimately, to the original world of the Fae
- Rigelus mentions that Bryce's breed of fae came from a "verdant land, rich and magic". When Bryce lands in Prythian...what type of grass does she land on? "Verdant grass".
- Rigelus mentions that Bryce's star of her chest is a "beacon to the world from which the Fae originally came" and that it will lead them back to that world..interesting that Bryce wanted to go to Hel, but ended up in Prythian
Theia came from the lost Dusk court / the Dusk court plays into it somehow
-> Danika's project is called Dusk's Truth...coincidence? I think not.
Throne of Glass and Erilea are going to play into this cross over some how
- Rigelus mentions that the wolves/shifters are fae but not from where Bryce's type of fae are from...but he does mention that they all came from a different planet where "all the Fae in that world shared their form with an animal" and they perhaps at one stage, "shared a world with [Bryce's breed of Fae"
-> I can't keep a certain fae hawk, mountain lion and wolf out of my head
- ToG has witches to...perhaps they also went through a rift to Lunathion
-> SJM will have us ToG fans beating down her door if she doesn't do a crossover with our fav characters - it's happening and I refuse to believe otherwise
The horn is the fourth trove I´m so fucking sure about it now (had this theorie since the first cc book but now i´m just so sure about it)
Hunt is somehow related to Thurr?
- I mean we ALL thought that the underking was Hunts father, but that theory is kind of dead in the water. Guy is an asshole and there was no recognition there
- Bryce mentions many times he looks like Thurr, and his powers are similar...how are they connected? Son? Grandson? Timelines are unclear
Rifts are everywhere throughout SJM's books - does a lot of passing happen between worlds more than we are aware?
I know Theia and her daughters figured out where all the rifts were in Lunathion, promptly closing them, but that doesn't mean there aren't rifts still open in our other favorite worlds...meaning crossing can happen a lot more easily than we think
It would explain a lot of cross-over between linage and missing characters showing up in other SJM series
So Amren is the seventh Asteri right? “Sirius” never died, she was just transported to Prythian 15,000 years ago. The fact that she speaks Bryce’s language - the Old Language - and her “angel of death” powers definitely leads me to think that’s what she is
