@LadyLumy I'm so sorry to hear that! i bet we caught the same cold because now I have one that is just... so annoying xD Hope you feel better soon!

@Bookkittie Thank you! I was doing much better, but then my luck took another dive and I caught a nasty cold. It's been two weeks now, really hoping I'm nearing the end of it. It's been hard to find motivation for anything... 

@LadyLumy i am so sorry to hear that, hope you get well soon

@Andynadia19 I'm doing alright, thank you for checking in❤️. Caught a nasty cold two weeks ago and it still hasn't gone away, so that's why I've been MIA. It's been a struggle trying to enjoy writing, or any of my hobbies, while I get through this...

@Bookkittie Full agreement. And yeah, he never really did apologize. He always likes to justify the things he does - is so good with his words that you even THINK he did - but really he doesn't takes accountability for them. 
            
            The series isn't finished yet (sidenote: I keep hearing rumors that we might get a date reveal for the next book on May Day/Calanmai. It'd be fitting, so fingers crossed!) so there's no saying if this is going to be expanded on or not, but at least in my story, Estelle will definitely call these things out. 
            No real hate though, I just like to criticize the characters that I really love lol.

@LadyLumy Fr! And girl I totally understand, don't get me wrong I love Rhys and I always love me a good slowburn/enemies-to-lovers/learn to trust romance plot but Rhysand absolutely has some critical flaws that I'm really excited to see addressed cuz I feel like our girl Estelle would absolutely not just forgive and forget; forgiveness and the relationship that blooms from that is what we're rooting for ofc but it's a healing process! That was one thing that irked me about the OG series a bit personally: loved that Feyre forgave Rhysand and ofc that's what I was rooting for... but correct me if I'm wrong I don't think he ever really actively apologized for what he put her through Under the Mountain (even though, yes yes, it was done for her survival... kinda). So love him, but like... there could have been more fleshing out that aspect of his character development and Feyre forgiving him but like... yknow it's okay to be like "you traumatized me dude give me some time." Believe me when I say I get the nuanced opinions on him LOL

@Bookkittie Yes! I have had to DNF so many stories because it was all 'Tampon' bashing. I get he can be fun to hate, but his character and actions are too complex to label him as such a villain (not to mention, we only really see things through Feyre's young, inexperienced perspective). Rhysand on the other hand... I love him, but he's not a saint, and he won't be in this story either lol. 
            After my last reread, I really took in the characters actions and words and compared them to previous scenes, and let's just say I have a lot of nuanced opinions that will slowly be revealed through Estelle (or my author notes lol).
