I decided to reread the Witchlands saga, since I read it years ago when only Windwitch was out, to catch up with the other books.

It was, and believe still is honestly, my favorite saga of all the time.

Rereding it now, it still fells like the first time, I love this books even more then the past, and I absolutely swear that IF SUSAN DOESN'T MAKE SAFI AND MERIK ENDGAME AT THE END OF THE BOOKS AND DON'T GIVE THEM THE ✨HAPPY ENDING✨ THEY DESERVE I'M GOING TO BURN MYSELF & THIS BOOK (together yeah 😩) BECAUSE I CAN'T LIVE SUFFERING🚶‍♀️, BUT EVEN IN DEATH I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE SEPARATED FROM THEM! 😭

Completely agree with them, good job and very excellent explanation

hey everyone it is once again Aedion Ashryver Defense Time brought to you by the fact that i have seen yet another Aedion bashing video on tiktok.

So let’s again run through the reasons that i think Aedions actions in both Empire of Storms and in Kingdom of Ash were, if not justifiable (which i think they were), completely understandable and understandable.

We will begin with why I think it is utter bullshit that Aelin never told Aedion any of her plans. Aedion is a well respected and well fought General who has been fighting for their country since he was around 13/14 years old. You cannot reach that level of military leadership at as young of an age that he did, despite being an enemy prince, (i believe he was General by the time he was 16/17 but don’t quote me i might be wrong) without being damn good at military strategy. Even though Aedion has all of these qualifications, Aelin never once told him a plan. When he yelled at her in Empire of Storms it was because he believed that the only army that they had to fight for Terrasen was the Bane, Aedions army of allies and friends that he has gathered over the years. Us as reader eventually find out that Aelin had reached out to her own allies that she gathered but didn’t want to tell anyone because she “didn’t want to let anyone down if they didn’t show” which is a bullshit excuse I think. There is no reason that you should not tell your General your war strategy plans or the number of allies you may or may not have. And it is worth remembering that Aedion is not just the General of her armies but also her cousin. So of all people she really didn’t have to worry about letting him down. He would have understood if she had just told him.

Next we will be discussing Aelin and Lysandras stupid plan that is reveled at the end of Empire of Storms. (something that I have already made several posts about so if this sounds familiar i apologize)

So, Aelin and Lysandra have the brilliant idea to make a plan that states that if Aelin is killed or captured, Lysandra will shapeshift to look like Aelin and lead in her place. They will then have Aedion have kids with Lysandra in order to pass them off as Lysandra and Rowan’s because he looks just like Aelin so there would be no question of the childrens parentage and the royal bloodline can continue without Aelin.

They made this plan without even consulting Aedion. Despite a large portion of the plan involving him having children and then giving them up to he raised by Lysandra, the woman Aedion loves, and Rowan, his cousins mate and husband as well as a man that Aedion considers a brother. I don’t know about the rest of you but i would be furious. Aedion will be forced to have kids that he can’t even call his own and he has absolutely no say in the matter. I don’t know why these women who have had their choices taken from them time and time again thought that this would be a good idea.

I would also like to note that literally anyone who spends even a second of time in Aedions presence knows that he has some of the worst parental issues and trauma that i have ever seen. A huge obstacle in Aedions life has been him not knowing who his father was. His mother not telling anyone who his father was got them both kicked out of the Ashryver family and got him sent off to Terrasen, a complete other continent, after his mothers death to be raised by Aelins parents, the only people who would take him in. And they think he’s just going to be okay with the fact that he will have to have children and then not raise them or call them his own? It’s insensitive and completely over looks his trauma. (This also explains his hesitation to allow Gavriel into his life once he finds out that Gavriel is his father.)

Throughout the series Aelin has consistently not told Aedion huge important things some being:

1. Not telling Aedion that she had given the blood oath to Rowan, despite there being opportunities to say so, thus allowing Rowan to drop it casually in conversation, and resulting in Aedion finding out about it in a rather not good way.

2. Not telling Aedion about the armies she was trying to gather despite him being the General of Terrasen.

3. Not telling him about the plan that involved him having children with Lysandra to pass off as Aelin and Rowan’s.

Given all of these reasons, i think it is perfectly reasonable that Aedion is angry and frustrated and mean at the end of Empire of Storms and throughout Kingdom of Ash. I would have been worse actually.

And I have mentioned in a previous post that I truly don’t think Aedion was all that angry at Lysandra, he was angry at Aelin. But Aelin just sacrificed herself for them all and might never come back and Lysandra is there and wearing Aelins face so Lysandra gets the full force of his anger at both of them, which is unfair but also understandable.

I would also like to point out that Aedion is one of, if not the, only character in the series who consistently apologizes for his actions or feels remorseful.

He apologizes to Aelin after he gets mad about the blood oath and he apologizes to Lysandra for yelling at her and treating her poorly in Kingdom of Ash. And yet he is the only one that the fandom doesn’t forgive (it could be argued that the fandom also doesn’t forgive Chaol which i also think is kinda dumb but that’s the topic for a different post)

People say that they think Aedion was acting out of character in Kingdom of Ash and i don’t think that’s the case. I think people just didn’t pay attention to his character or motivations previously.

I think that Aedion is the most human character in the books because he has flaws and doesn’t always react in the most story-convenient ways. I think that a lot of people would react the same way as he does, myself included, had they been in his position.
