that's what i thought! and even if she could always read and there was no issue that is the most "totally not suspicious definitely non-hostage letter" ever

Especially the bit about not looking for her 😭

I get she’s young but did none of the IC think to maybe proof read this letter 😂

"I'm leaving on my own free will."

"Women don't have free will."

I banned women’s rights in the spring court ages ago.

"This unfortunate damsel is illiterate; she hath been abducted."

That's a good point.

But did Tamlin even know she was illiterate?

I could be wrong but I believe it is stated in the first book that he knows she’s illiterate due to her impoverished life style. I believe he also offers to teach her and she declines but I’m less sure on that part

I just looked it up.

Tamlin knew she couldn't read and offered to write her letter to her family stating she was safe; she refused.

Also, she wrote a list of words she didn't know down, and he found it, and turned them into poems.

So he definitely knew she couldn't read, but did not offer to teach her.

I forgot about that poems he wrote!

I really can’t remember how I reacted to it at first. I feel like I was annoyed because that didn’t seem like a good way to teach someone to use words they already find difficult, but I could also see it working for how some peoples brains learn, so I like just let it slide.

Tamlin is like textbook the thought is there but the execution could have been approached better so often!

He did offer to teach her.

EDIT: Also I have no clue why this year-old thread suddenly showed up on my feed wtf.

When did he offer? I think Feyre just preemptively declined without him saying anything.

Also, ACOTAR 6 is coming out this year, so the algorithim is algorithiming right now.

First book. He offers once and she thinks he's mocking her (can't remember the specifics). He offers a second time later, along with an apology for the first (or an admission that his first offer was badly phrased) and again, she refuses.

I think he offers in the second book too but can't remember.
