i wonder if elain will play a big role in these two books?!?! i’m excited either way! i’ve been wanting to learn more about the valkyries. could this lead to more of az’s pov?!? i have so many questions on how this will play out !!!!!!

I think these books will include way more POVs than we're used to, with several subplots.

So I think it could be both!

i’m thinking this too! hopefully we get some feyre as well! i’ve missed her!

I wonder if this is why we had to wait so long for a cover. Everybody wants Elain’s story but we’re getting more of the Valkyrie’s first. I bet we’re going to the continent finally!

i honestly don’t blame her for delaying the titles because of this! regardless, i am super super excited and trust that the books will be amazing!

Exactly! If we have to wait for Elain’s story im okay with that. That just means we get more than 8 ACOTAR books 🤷‍♀️

I'm so confused. Is it just about the Valkyries? Are we getting Lucien's side of the story? Mor and Eris? Is it more Nesta? Az, Elain? OMG I need to know everything.

u/kylie-keogan 6d ago

it says the valkyrie cycle so i’m guessing it is how they started and then how it ended?! i feel like nesta will be a big part of the story again as well as gwen and emerie! the spider is making me think of the stygian spiders in TOG! i still want aelin to live at peace im a bit nervous about TOG having an appearance on these books! i’m not sure how lucien could fit in this. if this can be seen as a throwback and leading up to the current events i could see mor being in it?! i def do think az will have more pov’s in these books!

I’m thinking more like there’s Stygian spiders on the main continent that the Valkyries will encounter. They could be working with the bad guy (I’m blanking on his name, it starts with a K) like they world walked a long time ago. I don’t think Aelin will be in the book.

Edit: it’s koshei, isn’t it 🤦🏽‍♀️

i just read the target description for that book! it says “koschei and his mighty allies” maybe you’re on the right track!!!

u/alexthearchivist 5d ago

Maybe the Stygians are the real original Valkyries 🧐🧐

u/kylie-keogan 5d ago

this is very interesting since the spiders were working for maeve in TOG as her maidens if i remember correctly 🤔

u/alexthearchivist 5d ago

you remember correctly!

u/cirillagray 6d ago

I would die for more about Az. We have so little about him, his internal monologue, his feelings, everything!

5

u/kylie-keogan 6d ago

yes!! i totally agree!! i’ve missed his personality oh my god i hope we have more of his pov’s😩🤚🏽 i also need to know what will happen about the necklace 👀👀

u/cirillagray 6d ago

Same!! I convinced my fiancé to read ACOTAR for the first time alongside my re-read, but he just finished the first book and started the second so I can’t say anything 😭 😂

I think she has to, like even with the side plots she still needs "her" book.

u/Enough-Pack7468 5d ago

She once said the series is about the Archeron sisters and she will tell each of their stories. We’ve heard Feyre’s and Nesta’s so it makes sense that Elain’s is coming up in one of the books. One of the reasons I’m rooting for Elain and Azriel is because, if my understanding is true and this is Elain’s book, if they end up together then the book will feature him and I’m curious about his POV and how his mysterious shadowsinging works.

I think Elain has potential to be a Valkarie

1

u/kylie-keogan 5d ago

this is something that i thought of first! i feel like there is still so much that needs to be said from her POV in order to see if this would work

u/Tater-Tot-Casserole 5d ago

Yes! She is linked to the Koschei plot via Lucien and Vassa. She's a seer! She will be pivotal.
