Me 5 minutes ago: TFOTA is too simple

Me rn reading The King of Elfhame for like the 7th time in 4 years: WAIT AT FIRST THE MONSTER GIRL IS NICASIA

#i mean aslog's tales aren't 1 to 1 morals or anything but the parallels are THERE #the boy manages to befriend the monster girl bc he is also cursed and feels nothing #but then she gets a bit too excited and breaks his curse and eats him bc he can no longer keep up #then in part 2 the monster girl straight up has another guy who is willing to undergo the same curse #and wouldnt you know what the chapter right after that describes!! that's right locke's game babyyyy #anyway. ily the king of elfhame you are a novella to appreciate #tfota liveblog #that is to say i am a clown who talks big game but misses such obvious parallels #i am not saying it was some deep concepts that i couldn't possibly understand i was just jude brained

About Cardan and his mother

I was re-reading the comments on my fic Deniere Danse and most of them are against Lady Asha, which may be proof that she's just as hated by the fandom in the "parents" category as Madoc and Balekin (Or maybe it's bc of the plot I've created, sorry). So one unanimous question is: why does Cardan still allow her to stay in the brugh?

My pov: From Twk to Tpt we can see that Cardan is not as insensitive as he makes himself out to be, on the contrary, he has a lot of love to give (😭) (a side of him that probably only Nicasia had access to🙄). He's admitted to still liking his mother a little and if we look closely, that despite having a strong personality, Cardan is no longer a hateful person. After losing his entire family, he wouldn't throw out his mother, the second only person left of his blood, for bad things in the past. In Tpt we see how he's very happy with Jude and probably, thinks about the future instead of holding grudges about things from the past.

Okay, Cardan isn't the boy with the heart of stone, but why would he still like Lady Asha? Why didn't he lock her back up in the tower of oblivion like he did with Balekin? First of all it's obvious, she never committed any crime. But although the books say very little about their relationship (a shame because I've always been curious about it), I think there are some clues:

In the prologue to Tqn we see the discovery of Cardan's curse. It's said that Lady Asha doesn't seem to know how to hold a baby, but she hugs he when Eldred seems to be considering parting with the child and holds he tighter when she leaves. Perhaps she was just afraid of not having privileges, but it's the only gesture of affection we see from her.

Still in Tqn, Oriana tells Jude about Cardan's childhood:

"It wasn't as though she didn't dress him in velvets or furs; it's that she left them on until they grew ragged. Nor was it that she didn't feed him the most delectable cuts of meat and cake...."

Now, in Htkoelths, when he meets Aslog in the stables, despite being there because of her (bitch) Cardan thinks that if he called his mother she would beat Aslog up and throw her out. I found this passage strange bc Lady Asha is described as delicate and thin, yet Cardan knows that she would protect him from a much bigger and stronger woman. If he's so sure of this, has Lady Asha defended him before?

And finally, just a guess: when he travels to the mortal world in Tcp's time to save Balekin's mortal slave, Cardan travels on a giant moth owned by Lady Asha. It's said that the creature was personally tamed by her and he still remembers how, so he was probably there when it happened. Which means that perhaps Lady didn't leave him completely abandoned, there were moments that the two of them spent together, when she dressed him, fed him and perhaps took him for walks and played with him.

What does my monologue mean? That if we compare, Cardan seems to have more feelings for Lady Asha than for Eldred, because despite so many bad ones, he has good memories with her too. It's not just a blood bond.

It's sad and unfair, but Cardan has a much more forgiving heart than it seems.

There's probably something else too: guilt. If I'm not mistaken, in Twk's deleted scenes, when Lady Asha meets him to talk about Jude, it's said that Cardan didn't free her because he didn't think he had the power to, after all, Jude was the real High King.

Now, if we stop to think about it, Lady Asha had never committed a crime, (if we don't consider her to be the worst mother in the world), yet she probably spent about ten years trapped in the tower of oblivion, starving and cold, completely alone. Not even Balekin or Madoc suffered so much. Can we feel sorry for her for that? Idk, if you're a good person and can even like Madoc, that's fine, but I think it's well deserved. But not from Cardan's point of view, not least bc from his perspective it was his fault. Now, as High King, the best thing he can do to be fair is to reward her for all that time of suffering. So it's understandable that he lets her live in the palace and have everything she ever wanted.

Jude pov: I think that since she would like her mother to be alive and by her side and Cardan has that opportunity (which I would frankly pass up), she would never take it away from him, even for revenge. And like him, she's too happy to worry about the past and people who aren't worth it.

We do not talk about this particular part of Cardan’s novella enough, where he basically confessed that physical intimacy is more fantastic for him when it’s mingled with fear. 👀Aslog basically calls him out too lmaoo

Also, Cardan hearing the “swive” part which apparently means consummation in the second story and going “This is definitely not what you told me when I was a kid” is so funny 😭

Alexander hadn’t ever been trusting to begin with, knowing it would either get him harmed or at least show people that there was a crack in his armour. Furthermore, secret self doubt propelled him into daily thoughts of why he made it instead of his more prepared siblings, those who would handle an apocalypse well instead of wandering around for a few days hoping for a quick death.

Nowadays, even a year or so later, nobody was quite sure what caused it. News outlets shut down too quickly to spread news, and wifi was the first thing to go. However, the only thing that was sure was that Alexander was still here- desperately untrusting and tired but still here.

Unlike other survivors, he refused to join a group, hearing the horror stories of what happened when somebody fell behind or was declared useless. If he’d made it until now, he didn’t even see the point.

The Møller family were an absolute paradox. Together, they had survived the approximate year and a half and actually managed to live through it all. Their underground base, a defunct military bunker from the cold war, was more of a home than most people had. They fiercely guarded each other, understanding that relying on each other was the only way to make it through.

However, they didn't trust outsiders in the slightest.

How could they? Every day, people were double-crossing one another. Raiders were everywhere and would rob you blind in a world where no one had anything of value but water. The entire world had turned their backs on each other. The family did well not to do the same intrinsically. They had no room in their lives to risk it all for anyone else.

That is until one night. Stephy, Rina, their niece Aslog, and their nephew Shuonun were out hunting deer for the week in the forest.

📖 How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black, illustrated by Rovina Cai

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book followed Cardan from when he was a child to past the ending of the third book- The Queen of Nothing. Here we dive deeper into what makes Cardan tick and why he hates stories.

I really liked this, seeing the events of three books and more through Cardan’s perspective this time. He is extravagant, dramatic, and cunning. At times I felt like the book didn’t have a cohesive plot, but the reappearances of Aslog the troll really cemented a storyline I could follow.

If you’ve just finished The Folk of the Air series and are craving more, this book is perfect!

when Arthur Blackthorn said,

There is truth in stories, [...] Fiction is truth, even if it is not fact.

and Aslog said,

“Do you know why the Folk can tell stories?” [...] “We who can never tell a lie. How can we do it?” [...] “Because stories tell a truth, if not precisely the truth.”

"Cardan ought to have been the boy with the heart of stone in Aslog's story, but somehow he had let his heart turn to glass. He could feel the shattered shards of it lodged in his lungs, making his every breath painful."

It is always so unfair because everytime Cardan got hurt it wasn't because of something he did but because of someone hating his family. Aslog tried to murder him in Portland because she had beef with Eldred and because she deemed now that Eldred was dead, Cardan owed her that debt. Hyacinthe sliced his throat because his father was in love with Liriope and she wanted Eldred and not him; and then she was sleeping with Dain, fell pregnant and Dain murdered her and thus Hyacinthe's father killed himself out of sorrow so Hyacinthe thinks he owes a blood debt to Cardan. And now Bogdana tries to murder him and steal the power he was born with because he inherited it from Mab and Mab wronged her.

LIKE IT ISN'T EVEN HIS FAULT.
