With less than 48 hours until the release of A Court of Splintered Harmony, Novel Theories digs into what we might can (and hope!) to see in the newest ACOTAR installment. We want to set the ship…
let's be honest this is a this is all but a novella like we're not getting much more than frost and starlight in this first one and sarah is notorious for slow burn and when we say slow burn we mean multiple books we mean she will give multiple books i I know many people may think, oh, but Asriel's been with us for all this time and so it's now, you know, we've already had a ton of books, we're ready for his romance now.
I think she's been saving him and I think that his romance is going to be complicated and I think it's going to take a long time to get there.
I would be very surprised if we even have resolution at the end of the four movements even.
If my theories are correct, I think it's going to take at least five books for him to get the love story that we so desperately want for him.
I agree.
I totally feel like I think for anybody to assume at the end of this book, we will have Asriel's future locked down and in place is just I say this with all my heart and I love you dearly.
It might be a little short sighted because this is it's part one of part of a four part movement.
And we can get into all of that, all that in a minute if we want to.
But I think it's going to be fun to talk about the other things that we notice and we know.
And Sarah's been doing the drops the last few days.
She's been doing the quotes.
the povs yeah different people so we know um we're getting a lot more than we did know
yeah we're getting multiple povs and we're getting people that we've already obviously we've got Feyra we've got nesta and Cassian so we're getting povs we've had before then we're getting Lucien today we get Gwyn mm-hmm i'm going to assume that we're going to get as real and then we've got one other that we don't know yet and now i also wonder if they're getting more important as they're going along is that like are we starting with the least important becoming the most important i don't know but i definitely think that sarah this is sarah's grand finale she has been if you followed her pinterest she had four pinterest she had throne of glass akatar crescent city and the highlight of the gods and i think this is her pathway into twilight of the gods especially with the research we've done about the Valkyrie movements in the what was that musical piece and the fourth part being of
yes and the fourth rain cycle in that being Twilight of the Gods so she's preparing for something big but it's also just a big story and there is so much with these characters Yes, there's the romance.
We love the romance.
But there is also so many other beautiful things, including friendships, including saving the world, including girl power that I think is really important for Sarah as well.
And I think she's going to explore some of that as well.
So I think that's a little bit of what we're going to be into today.
kind of hope the last quote she drops is girl powery like so we know i because i couldn't remember all the ones that we got so i just pulled it up so so far we have gotten starting with feira which i love that she started with feira um i think that's intentionally a connector then cassian then nesta then lucian then gwen we all know that asriel has a pov um especially if you when the audio sample dropped so the second or first one will be asriel um if we were to take that girl power approach that leaves one other pov that hasn't been disclosed yet
yeah which
there are a couple of people it could be.
Yeah.
We potentially have Elaine.
Not that she has said that an Elaine POV would give away a lot of the story.
let's be honest this is a this is all but a novella like we're not getting much more than frost and starlight in this first one and sarah is notorious for slow burn and when we say slow burn we mean multiple books we mean she will give multiple books i I know many people may think, oh, but Asriel's been with us for all this time and so it's now, you know, we've already had a ton of books, we're ready for his romance now.
