I Will Never Understand How Someone Can Finish A Book, Like It And Then Just Go On Living. I Have To

Let me tell y'all punks something about ACOWAR (spoiler FREE I promise)

I LOVED this book for one glaring reason (that goes beyond how much more Azriel we got, but I digress).

That reason is the gray area. There is SO. MUCH. moral gray area in ACOWAR. Characters that I admittedly thought were PERFECT and could do no wrong did wrong. Characters I thought were pure evil did right.

SJM portrayed a beautiful picture of humanity in a fantastical world. Not one of us is morally right or morally wrong, point blank. We are MESSY, and so was every character in ACOWAR. MESSY. And she didn’t shy away from portraying them as such. The characters moved all over the spectrum of right and wrong and that’s just LIFE.

The gray area is a GOOD THING. Now is it going to incite a million and one arguments on this platform concerning the age old argument of “oh so and so did this when they should have done this because I say so and since they didn’t they’re A PURE EVIL ABUSER SATAN WORSHIPPER BLAH BLAH BLAH.” And that part sucks. But real people are messy and all over the spectrum. And so is ACOWAR and I LOVE IT.

yay guess who’s rereading ACOTAR

From Tahereh’s Q&A on twitter:

Everyone hating on SJM can bite me

It’s not your story. You do not get to decide anything about the plot or characters. You get pissy when she doesn’t do things and pissy when she does. She tries to give you what you ask for and you get pissy about that too. She’s not some perfect little marionette that you pull the strings for. She is telling her stories as honestly as she can. If you don’t like it, fine. But don’t get angry with her when things don’t go exactly how you want them to go.
