Does anyone ever think about Elinors last day alive?

After the fight for the mirror, she would know by the sky that some champion had died, but only after meeting up with Finley would she find out it was Carbrey.

Their relationship is so interesting, (at least on Elinors part) because she knows he must die, but is protective of him in a way that is more than just allies, as being cousins she’d have known him since he was a baby. I wonder if she wanted it to be him and her in the end so that she could kill him herslef, and try to make it as painless as possible, or if she was hoping Finley would do it for her.

Regardless, she would no doubt be enraged upon finding out that not only was he dead but that it was BRIONY who had slain him.

Whom Elinor personally disliked, and who had CLAIMED she wanted all of the champions to live, only to go on to kill the 15 year old herself. No doubt Elinor would realize as well, that his death was largely her own fault, for lying to the boys to pit them on Bri.

In the second book, it is mentioned, while coming to pair the Hammer with the Monastery that a table had been flung into a wall. Finley was certainly angry too, as he believed Briony to have betrayed them, but he hardly seems the type to throw a table in anger. Elinor seems the obvious candidate.

So she returns to The Monastery, after learning the girl she hates has killed her young cousin, probably spends much of the night seething and unable to sleep. In the morning, Finley is led away by the compass rose. We don’t know if he told Elinor if he was leaving or not. If he DID Elinor would probably have demanded to come along to enact her revenge, but he makes her stay.

So she wait in the monastery probably checking on all the champions through the mirror- when she would at some point, likely see a band of three champions coming to kill her. Maybe she would check Finleys location only to see that he’s joined with Briony and has left her alone in the landmark. What can she do besides try to wait them out? Besides change the wards of course, as she knows Gavin can break the old ones.

So she waits, alone and angry in a huge empty monastery, until Isobel lights it up. She’s fumigated out (after a long time, the book notes) to where she will not an hour later- die one of the most brutal deaths in the series.

I don’t really have that much to say about the whole ordeal other than that every character in this duology is horribly sad. Like bro.

That moment early on in aood where Alistair gains a sudden “interest” in Gavin after looking at his creepy veiny arm.

The fact that they TORTURED a dude together

Making out next to the body of the guy Alistair just roasted

Gavin getting mesmerized by Al’s monster stories

Alistair’s face being “both handsome and cruel in equal measure” <3

I would’ve LOVED to see Elinor with The Hammer. That would’ve been so cool.

She would be smashing heads I know it.

It would have been cool to see everyone with their family relics, but she and the hammer most of all.

She so cool

Don’t die… I’m the one who gets to kill you, okay?

I just think it’s romantic to be possessive over someone’s death. No one gets to kill you but me. I want to hold you as you die. Your last breath should mingle with mine. I want your blood on my hands because I’m the one that spilled it.

Such a strange rant I’m about to go on, but-

I don’t think aouv is as modern as some people think it is? I’ve been reading fanfics about the series and people keep mentioning the internet or using smartphones, but the only kind of phones we see in the books are landlines.

Like when Reid’s on call with another spell maker (Isobels first chap of aoud) he twirls the wire around his finger.

Or at the end when Reid is upset Isobels been ignoring his calls she says “I’ve been at my moms (or with my mom idr)” If she had a smartphone that definitely wouldn’t be a problem.

None of the characters have phones they can carry around, and while we see a lot of news coverage on the tournament, it’s all in newspapers, magazines, TV and call ins. You’d think in a world like ours there would be some blogs- or Twitter fights about it or SOMETHING.

This literary doesn’t matter at all really- but I think the series might take place somewhere closer to the 80’s than 2000’s.

Idk just been thinking about this a lot for some reason.

When it looked like Alistair was gonna die in aoud I was caught between

“I LOVE it when two characters fall in love and one of them dies tragically in the others arms” and “oh my god did I just get my shit rocked by queerbait”

10/10 experience, would recommend.

“The way Gavin tasted, like salt, and smoke”

IS HE A HAM??

This might be too niche, I’m sorry- but I think about it literally every time I reread that chapter (so often)

Tbh- I think a reason (not major, but a reason nonetheless) that I like Gavin so much is that I listened to the audio book, and in the version I listened too, Gavin has this like- funkier British accent than the rest of the cast, and him and Fergus are the only characters to have that accent.

It immediately endeared him to me.

I wish I could tell Gavin Greive he’s my favorite character, cus he’s always so sad about that shit. Just wanna let him know I’m rooting for him in whatever choices he decides to make

Poor dude

Recently the All of us Villains books have consumed my life and I just NEED to talk about it because no one I know has read it.

Spoilers for All of our Demise but

Finley???? He’s so sad??? Carbrey, Elinor, Briony, his close allies ALL DIED.

I was just rereading the first book for the millionth time and came across

“This was not the first time Finley had watched one of his allies die.”

Briony talking about how Finley knelt next to Elinors body, and it hurts so bad knowing she’s next eventually. Personally if I was Finley, I’d never get over any of that DAMN.

I was also recently reading the confrontation with his moms and I just feel so hard for this kid.

Imagine going to your parents in a time of need and they’re like “we didn’t raise you like this! We raised you to murder other teenagers! Shame!” Lowkey funny tho
