“the series revolves around the 3 sisters”

sweetie… I don’t know how to tell u this but… acotar is about feyre archeron and feyre archeron only.

Ok I'm going to say something controversial here, so please don't go and hate without arguments.

I kind of get tamlin point during the high lords meeting. I'm not saying he is right. What he did allying whit hybern and being abusive of feyre... No bueno, very bad bad. But the point that he gives a the meeting are reasonable. Not the ones of a mad ... High Lord.

Let's imagine we only knew the night court for the bad things they have done, wouldn't we assume the same things? Especially, let's say if they admit to have crushed a court, during a delicate time just for personal revenge (yes the acts were feyre's but she is the high lady of the night court, so what she did can be read as a political move masked under personal motives)

As we have seen tamlin is clearly an abuser, a tyrant and all of that, but mf has some right points. Like...how the first attack on adrianta was initiated by our dear Feyre, whose intentions were of mere revenge and I get it (after all of that I would have wanted revenge on tamlin as well) but as a high lady she should have thought of the people that lived there, beyond her 2-3 friends, and the consequences of a weakened court.

Plus Rhys being "the greater male". Uhmm. No miss, that is depriving someone of their right of free speech. Was tamlin ranting on the same sexist bulshit? Yes he was. Was it apropriate on such a meeting? Absolutely not. But that still didn't give Rhys the right to silence him. My friend Rhys you just prove his point right: that you too are a tyrant, and an abuser of political power (that in this case came from the fact that Rhys is said to be THE most powerful high Lord). What could've been done? I don't know, but that was not the most wise and diplomatic move, and I'm ranting about it because, from Feyre point if view, that IS the most wise and diplomatic thing to be done, and she is presenting it as the only option, as if trying to convince not only the reader, but all the high Lords that this was the ONLY right thing to do. Do you se my point? I get it, of course we do see that, since we are on Feyre point of view and she is Rhys mate, so it makes sense in her prospective that what he is doing is for the "right cause", to show how powerful you are and sway people to your cause. Still, all the scene does not sit right for me. Again not for feeling bad for tamlin, but mostly for the way Rhys and Feyre think, their motives...

I don't know how the other Lords, after that scene ally with the night court, I would've winnowed the hell out of there to protect my court, with fear of being on Rhys bad side. But since I believe they realize the threat is real they ally with the night court mostly out of fear (?) Of them and of hybern.

All in all, I must say I don't like this type of narrative that portraits some character as abusive and bad (rightfully so after they have acted violently on others) and some others as abusive (not of people but of power) but with the right motives, with the "holier then thou"attitude and never held accountable for their mistakes or bad calls.

I love sjm writing but I must say that this is something she does a lot with MC. That's way I always feel more attached to her side and second characters.. And also why I'm very afraid that she would do the same with cassian and Nesta. Let's pray she doesn't.
