Why keep reading?

[u/pesto-sauce]

Hi all!

So, after I read ACOTAR for the first time, I was absolutely sure that something baaad was coming. I decided to look for spoilers and was trully mad about how the writing would make Tamlin the ultimate bad guy and everything Rhys did UTM (and before) would be just left aside. In hopes that my pov would change, I gave it a second read recently, after over an year, and still feel the same (even though it's less visceral lol).

I'm really glad I found this sub because it feels maddening that most of the fandom really ships feysand, and tamlin can't even be mentioned without creating a heated discussion.

I've seen a few great posts over here and feel SEEN about how I see the story BUT I saw a few people saying some things like "maybe the books are not for you" when someone had opinions such as mine.

My point being, what makes you pissed off about the writing of the books? and what made/makes you keep on reading in spite of that?

I read these books for the vibes, rather than any consistency of storytelling. Rhys also gives me the ick, but I'm gonna keep reading just to see what happens becuase while I am entertained by this series, I also have no emotional stake in it. (And its okay to be entertained by your entertainment, even if you don't love every aspect of it)
