Midnight thoughts. Elain...
So I finished ACOSF and it was one hella of a rollercoaster ride. And of course, I started thinking about Sarah's next book, about the plot, characters, etc. Then I stumbled upon someone's idea of Elain, how the next book is gonna be about her. And ideas of Elain as a villain.
But then I sat down with a cup of coffee and started to recollect events in ACOTAR universe that surrounded Elain.
And some of my first thoughts were parallel to Feyra when she was back to the Spring Court after the second book. How she infiltrated Spring Court. And I was like .... what if Elain is....doing something similar for her own reasons. For example, ACOSF bonus chapters of Azriel's POV, it was said by Rhys that Elain is peace of alliance with the Autumn Court and Spring Court, and so on. And my imagination just went to another universe of ACOTAR where it is Elain's plan, or she is part of the plan to make some tension in the Night Court. Taking small steps like doing a little flirt with Azriel, maybe intentionally wanting Lucien to see them in a moment of their kiss....? As a result, making the Night Court lose an alliance with Autumn and Spring Courts... and also making more tension between IC, making fam (Rhys and Azriel) argue about it.
By no means do I say that it's an evidence-based theory about Elain becoming a villain. But it was just interesting to think of that situation that way.
