my sweet villain. my darling god.

Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

"they're all gonna laugh at you!"

“I was a wolf. And I bit when cornered.”

And she did it in chapter 21 of the book. Nesta tells Elain in SF (same chapter):

“Look who decided to grow claws after all,” she crooned. “Maybe you’ll become interesting at last, Elain.”

Feyre and Nesta already have very strong wolf imagery, while Elain is the fawn. Elain’s story has been about people deciding who she is, what she can handle and what role she should play while she keeps showing us that there’s much more underneath. if SJM is moving her from fawn to fangs having in mind her current circumstances … I am seated. 🦌🐺

This line from Rhys to Az about Elriel truly is so 👀

That's like. That's directly tied to the blurbs. I don't think there's any getting around that. I think that's a giant authorial finger pointing us toward something.

Elriel disrupts the NC's fragile peace with Autumn, with Spring, with the BoE, AND with anybody who would sympathize/side with any of the above.

Feyre’s Bonus Chapter:

Nyx is named, his powers are hinted at as well as possible foreshadowing of his role in upcoming books

Elain is discussed, her story arch is hinted at, as well as possible foreshadowing of her role in upcoming books

(More analysis and theory here)

Azriel’s Bonus Chapter:

Elain’s relationships are discussed, as well as possible hint at her powers via the necklace (theory)

Azriel’s role in upcoming books is foreshadowed, Azriel’s powers are hinted at

Final Chapter of CC2:

Azriel finds Bryce, Truth Teller comes to life (another hint about his arsenal of powers, note the connection between him, Truth Teller, and Elain). He takes Bryce to the Town House.

Elain is noticeably absent from this chapter, although Bryce smells bread and roses. Possibly hinting at Elain’s presence in the house or suggesting she lives there.(theory)

Nyx is also noticeably absent, despite his mother, father, both uncles, and one of his aunts being present.

(We talk so much about Elain in that final chapter….but where is Nyx? Is he with Elain? Why are they the only two characters who don’t show up in this chapter when literally everyone else is there?) (except Mor, I think)

End of ACOSF

Elain and Azriel are both last seen holding Nyx
