Elain Archeron

I can never say that, but weren't those the girly pops who helped Feyre get ready? Yeah.

But are those Asriel's shadows? I got a little bit confused.

I don't know because also, too, I remember previously they were in the kitchen with Elaine baking when she was kind of coming back to herself.

Elaine.

Elaine baking.

It's just down there baking some bread.

We love bread.

More bread.

I actually think was sound advice

yeah I agree

so you know how I was on one about this like bonus chapter with Asriel and Elaine and Gwen like it's in the book now so now people can't tell me like oh like I haven't read it like don't know what you're talking about I'm like it's in the book yeah and it's almost like

It shouldn't have been a bonus chapter.

Only because it does set up so much for that, like, love triangle conflict kind of thing.

Yes.

So I think she's going to kind of do the same thing with this where it's like, and we know now if again, there's spoilers.

So, um, more and Elaine are now going to the continent.

A few months after the war has wrapped up, everyone's kind of settled in.

They're going to have their first winter solstice.

It's now like Farrah, Reese, Elaine, and they're all like living at the townhouse.

Nesta has gotten this like squalor apartment in Volaris and like the shittiest part Cassie and I were at the house and everyone's starting to feel a little like overcrowded like happy and content they're getting ready to set up and like it starts with like Farrah and Cassie and getting drunk and trying to like decorate and everyone's like who let Farrah and Cassie decorate like it's just like a pile of needles on the floor like they're horrible at it Asriel tries to, like, fix the decorations before anyone else gets home, and they're just like, no.

Yeah.

She finally comes and shows up at solstice.

She just doesn't want to be around anyone.

Even Elaine.

There's so much about the way that they feel and the smells and the, like all of this stuff.

And with Asriel, there was none of that.

Like with, with Elaine and then Gwen later, like there's none of that.

So he's an odd duck, a really strange character.

And I'm just not sure what's going to happen with him.

Everything goes wrong.

Tim Tam comes back with Foxboy, a.k.a. Lucian,

with Nesta and Elaine because Feyre told Ianthe everything about her sisters and Ianthe sold them out.

Okay, it's building the plot for the next book, Forgotten Melody.

Building the plot for the conflict while giving us an idea of where every character's head is at in general.

Moreover, I think this book will set a foundation for Elaine and Lucian's character arcs in Echo Fum.

Forgotten Melody, that's what it is.

Very similar to Echo Fus.

I think this book will be in multiple point of views, but maybe with different perspectives than Frost and Starlight, such as Asriel, Elaine, and Lucian.

I definitely think it will build towards a conflict with Koschei.

Therefore, we may see more from Vassa and Jurian.

at all.

No, me neither.

Yeah, so we end the book with Feyre, Elaine, Nesta going to visit the grave of her dad.

Correct.

with the baby and having a bit of reconciliation and everybody ends like in a pretty good spot in terms of like personal like personal connections but
