#grimsen

Lowkey we never get an explanation for this, but can we talk about it for a sec?

When Jude meets with Grimsen, he tells her the following:

So Grimsen doesn’t confirm or deny whether Justin actually made the bargain, but we can assume that he did. Because why would Holly Black even bring it up if Justin just declined it? It wouldn’t contribute to the story. So let’s say he accepted.

We can also assume that this wasn’t a straight forward bargain, like most faerie bargains, it must have been vaguely worded and obscure. Poor Justin probably didn’t know what he was gonna lose. And in the end, he lost his wife, then died himself, and his daughters got snatched away.

The Queen of Nothing (Holly Black)

for the Folk of the Air

the character i least understand: Taryn

interactions i enjoyed the most: Jude and Cardan’s in the Wicked King <3

the character who scares me the most: um... that creepy little princess (what was her name?) or Dain - it depends on the type of fear they cause

the character who is mostly like me: none? I wasn’t able to self-identify with any character

hottest looks character: it’s hard to say, if we have only book descriptions - guessing by the fanarts, it would be Cardan

one thing i dislike about my fave character: Jude? it’s hard to say - maybe the fact that she didn’t realize sooner that Locke is only playing with her? but I can’t say I dislike it, I just feel strange, when I see something obvious for me, while the character themselves don’t notice it

one thing i like about my hated character: Locke? he’s intelligent, for sure

a quote or scene that haunts me: none I guess

a death that left me indifferent: Grimsen ;P

a character i wish died but didn’t: if the theory about Locke not being actually dead will turn true in the future, then it would be him ;P
