there was something radioactive cooking in george lucas’ brain when he wrote padme and palpatine as narrative foils.

Jacks: Aren't you sugar and spice and everything nice?
Evangeline: Well, aren’t you rudeness and sarcasm and everything...um...
Jacks: No, go on. You find something that rhymes with sarcasm and makes sense, and I’ll take the floor tonight.

“Cardan,” I say in a whisper. The golden net of the bridle shines in my hands. As if in answer, the serpent draws back, neck curving in a swinging movement as though calculating how best to strike. “It’s Jude,” I say, and my voice cracks. “Jude. You like me, remember? You trust me.”
Why is NO ONE talking about how soul-crushingly, heart-shatteringly painful this is omg I'll go cry a river now.

life hack: if you keep rereading the series and theorizing and writing fanfiction, you can ignore that it's over and avoid the "what do i do with my life now" crisis bc you just Refuse to let it come!

acftl review (finally)
I give it a 3 ⭐️ (as much as it pains me) even then it’s only this high bc I love evajacks so much
so I was finally able to gather my thoughts into one post and while there were many things I enjoyed a few others didn’t sit right..
1. the whole story curse thing.. it makes sense that the story curse would twist things which is why some things were left unexplained but it doesn’t feel like it was done deliberately?? it just felt like stephanie genuinely didn’t know how to tie some things together.. like sure not every single thing needs an explanation but she emphasised certain things wayyy too much in the first two books for them to be completely ignored for example evajacks talking to each other in their minds. Even the broken heart scar wasn’t addressed again after like halfway through acftl
2. too much apollo.. sorry this is not even just me being biased or whatever like I do agree his pov helped explain the plot from a different perspective but he got wayyy more of a backstory and a conclusion to his character than jacks for a someone that wasn’t as present in the last 2 books.. and this was supposed to be jacks’ series kinda (ik it was evangelines too) but I feel like jacks got sidelined hard and that’s disappointing. It also didn’t help that whenever there was an intense scene between evajacks the pov would switch to apollo.. to be fair I think having 3 povs was just hard to execute in general
3. the kiss scene.. usually it would not be a big deal but it’s a big part of jacks character that he can’t kiss girls without killing them idk I thought him finally getting to kiss evangeline would be a lot more… grand? they barely got a page or any detail and then the next chapter was “once upon a time there was kissing and more kissing 🥰🥰” which was even more underwhelming. Even apollo and evangelines kiss scenes were longer and more detailed and they got multiple
4. the overall vibe of the 3rd book felt very different to the first two I couldn’t put my finger on it at first but I feel like it had something to do with the writing.. at some parts it felt familiar (like all the descriptions and the fairytale aspects) but others it just felt different?
5. during too many scenes it just felt like stephanie was rewriting tbona.. like I haven’t really seen anyone say this yet but a good chunk of the book was quotes from tbona which I feel took up a lot of unnecessary space and could’ve been used to develop other plots or characters? Literally someone that hasn’t read tbona could get a gist of what happened cause it’s all summarised in there 😭
6. the plot in general.. contrary to popular belief I don’t think this was that romance focused (as people claim as to why things weren’t explained) because I think stephanie incorporated more plot in here but it was just different to what we saw in the last books because previous characters (luc, marisol, tiberius, kristof) weren’t as present in this book and new characters plots and explanations were just thrown in.. not much felt connected
7. jacks’ backstory.. (going back to my second point) how he became a fate was really glossed over I feel and was only briefly mentioned but I just wanted more.. I do like the fact that he said he did it for chaos and I wish their friendship was delved into more because he literally turned to immortality because his friend would be alone. What about his parents? His friendship with Lyric? The merrywood three in general? His life when he was trapped in the card?
8. the first fox.. again wayy too significant to be missed out especially since jacks doesn’t really remember whether or not he had a thing for her and chaos said evangeline was similar to her.. how was there no link?
I definitely have more to add but for now my main takeaway is that while tbona was very hard to top I feel like acftl could’ve been so much more especially since it was set up so well.. I think so many people are disappointed because it doesn’t hold up as well for the last book in a series but I’m just glad evajacks got their happy ending 🫠
#i feel this#this book was just…missing stuff#I would’ve loved so much more development#especially for jacks#but everything kind of fell flat in the end?#acftl#evajacks#ouabh#evangeline fox#caraval#jacks x evangeline#tbona spoilers#the ballad of never after#jacks prince of hearts#acftl spoilers#a curse for true love spoilers

both eva and jacks are so sure about each other's feelings. eva literally believes he loves her enough to break a centuries-old curse. she sees his actions and just because of them, she knows that he loves her and that he puts her above everything, including his own well-being. even without remembering him, she knew she needed to comfort him and tell him she was safe because she knows he cares so much. she says, at the beginning of acftl, that she had never felt that level of protection and care before in her life. she knows he felt the need to burn his own heart to let her go.
and he knows that if she remembered him, she wouldn't let him go. that all he had to do was say that he was the person she wanted to kiss. and he still says that he wanted her to look at him like before, for her to want him again. at the end of the book, in one of the epilogues, he even jokes and asks her if she would sacrifice him for immortality because he knows that he is the thing she loves most in the world.
and i think that's beautiful.

I absolutely loved Aurora's curse on Jacks (as a plotpoint).
The initially presumed curse would have doomed him to loneliness until he found his true love.
The ACTUAL curse deprived him of ANY chance at a relationship, even what he got was contentment and not absolute happiness and an earthshuttering love. It doomed him to ultimately only be able to pursue the person who would NOT love him because of an assumption, and that's more cruel at the end of the day.
Just imagine Jacks throughout the years. He DID murder and hurt people, but he wasn't murdering girls for kicks. Yet any time he found someone, felt some fondness and might have thought "hey, this time it will be different" he was bound to be wrong. But not knowing that the curse was NOT meant to allow his kiss to leave even his true love alive he was bound to assume that the fault was either with his feelings or of the feelings those girls had towards him. Jacks was not just lonely. He was hoping against hope, and was getting crushed each and every time.
His fears when it came to Evangeline and his willingness to step away from her to protect her (the one who WAS his true love) makes absolute sense.

look, if no one else is going to say it, then i will: literally every single time either evangeline or jacks gets injured in TBONA is just an excuse for them to touch each other.
and i’m SO HERE FOR IT
