As much as I hate all these men (obviously not anakin) and they’re all disgusting, it’s kind of refreshing that they are actually disgusting. As in, it’s not a ‘they were just misunderstood’, or ‘they had a bad childhood which somehow excuses toxic behaviour’. Like in the book they were shittty, in life they’re shitty and in love, they’re the worst. And FL is OUTTA HERE.
Refreshing to have a FL who’s smart, not easily manipulated and wooed with gifts, and puts cocky men in their place. I love how she puts Evanders in his place. He’s do dishonest and tries to use his money and power to manipulate her into liking him and IT DOESNT EVEN WORK AN INCH AND I LOVE IT. While the duke who’s good for her, but poor boy is naive and loves her to the point that he separates to protect her, she just GOES AFTER HIM AND ISNT OVERLY SENSITIVE TO HIS DISTANT BEHAVIOUR. I’m so refreshed that the typical tropes are not there. Well at least not the annoying dramatic ones.
What really makes me sad is that all Eris wanted was for the prince to look her way and not treat her like shit which she never deserved. Now she’s gone. This new soul is here and they all know it. Now all these disgusting men are after her because some reason complete disdain is attractive. It goes to show they’re all sick in the mind and only want her to fulfil their ego because they can’t handle a female not being in love with them.
Not to mention she was in love, and then took it away (though not really because it’s not her).
And the priest is beyond creepy. That is still your sisters body. And to just go and revive someone against their will so you can trap them with you is literally psychotic.
What is wrong with these three fml
