i'm almost done rereading Glass Sword by Victoeia Aveyard, and I've just realized something about Cal that I didn't notice before.

Growing up, Cal was never my favorite. I favored Maven so much, maybe even a little too much. So, Cal was very annoying to me? I hated his every line and I was very irritated with every word he said and every action he took. But I was 13 at that time.

I am 17 years old now. And I've found a sense of maturity I didn't realize I had once discovering this.

Cal Calore is a burning flame. He is passionate and driven, with a kind heart, but he is indecisive, and this flaw drags him down.

I noticed just how often his trauma is overlooked. Cal lost everything. His mother, at a young age. His father. His brother. His friends. His kingdom. His home. His titles. The list goes on. He was taken from everything he knew and slammed down into an entire new world.

He wasn't even welcomed by the Reds. The first thing they did to Cal was lock him up alone when they reached Tuck.

And then when they met Nix, Nix was immediately taunting Cal for being "seduced by Mare into killing his father", but once Cal reveals the truth of what happened, they all fell silent.

No one. Not a single person, except probably Mare, has asked Cal if he was okay.

Cal lost everything. I mean literally everything. And not once in the whole book did we see him cry, break down, or fall apart.

That is a kind of strength I could never imagine.

I've finished Glass Sword and..... I HAAAAAAAATE Mare. She's just...awful. horrible. I don't give a flying fuck that she's 17 (practically 18 by the end). She's selfish, manipulative, stupid, inconsistent...Uuugh, I can't with her. If the goal was to create a FMC that I wanted to strangle with every turn of the page...Success, my dude. You got it cause she got my gears grinding Now, to Petal, which I'm guessing is gonna be like the first one and I'm barely going to enjoy it. But we're gonna try #bookworm #tbrreads #glasssword #petal #bookworkstuggles #annoyingbookcharacters https://www.instagram.com/p/CmvL7-3ufAC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mare: How do you do that?

Cal: I'm fearless.

Evangeline: I saw you run from bees yesterday. You flailed around and tripped over a chair. It was both hysterical and sad.

Cal: I'm mostly fearless.

As a neurodivergent person, lots of little details about Maven Calore speak to me, but my favorite is the neurotypicals around him think "hey! that's kinda like me" and co-opt his terminology to describe themselves

“I am finally learning my lesson. Anyone can betray anyone.” - Red Queen . . 🌟QOTD: what’s your favorite book about rebellion? . . Happy #MapMonday friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!! I had an amazing weekend full of reading and sunshine and taking book photos!! When I think of characters fighting for a change one of the first series to come to mind was the Red Queen series. I still haven’t finished the last book in this series (it’s a GIANT one) but hopefully one day I will!! I absolutely loved the first few books. The characters were engaging and I loved the relationship between Mare and Cal and Maven! Plus the twist and turns of the storyline kept me on my toes and of course the whole rebellion and fighting for equality part which was well done. What books have your favorite rebellions in it? . .

Calore Dance Academy// Red Queen AU - Author's Note (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/ey39mtHwUab

Following a failed pickpocket attempt, a fall from some stage rafters, and an audition that she never imagined in her wildest dreams, Mare Barrow, street felon by day and wistful ballerina by night, one day finds herself as a dancer for Manhattan's prestigious Calore Dance Academy, owned by the filthy-rich Calore clan. More than that, her partner is Maven Calore, one of the Calore brothers himself. And the pickpocket attempt, of course, was on Maven's older brother and the heir to the Academy, Tiberias "Cal" Calore. Naturally, he orchestrated the whole incident.

A paradigm rags-to-riches success story unfolds, and as the seventeen-year-old climbs up the levels of social class, she dances a dangerous game of love and betrayal when lies are told and secrets are revealed. The gang Mare belongs to, the Scarlet Street Fighters, and the Calore clan are brutal enemies, and the girl, simple as the blood in her veins, is caught right in the crossfire of their bloody war. Mare soon discovers that the Calore family not only has a passion for ballet dancing, but an obsession for power and money. It seems that the Calores control everything, including her own life. And yet, Mare Barrow wonders if the risk of destroying the Calores and their dynasty is worth everything that she's ever wanted.

Part 1//The Empire of the Dancers ~ edited by @FoolishDonut , @BellonaetLibitina , and Serena H. Part 1 edited and revamped by myself as of 3/26/20 *cover image is not my own* Couresty of: Playbuzz *based off of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.*

something in my soul is touched when i reread the scene in war storm where maven goes to mare's stilts home and destroys it

it feels like he was in mourning, you know? because he had lost her. he lost her so so many times, but she was so close to him THIS time and she slipped right between his fingers like cupped water.

and it specifically feels like mourning because maven calore didn't feel love. all he ever felt was loss and the idea of love that was more leaned toward obsession. so instead of mourning in sadness and depression like he did with thomas, he mourned with rage and destruction with mare.

#ugh hes so analyzable #ren💌maven #I love him TOO bad.#honestly the contrast between his “love” for thomas and his “love” for mare are so comparable #theres so many things to analyze about maven #i always wonder how mavens kids would have turned out if he had remained king and made an heir w iris..#what would they be like as parents #authors #booklr #books & libraries #bookworm #victoria aveyard #glasssword #kingscage #redqueen #maven calore #mare barrow #war storm

After years of admiring the crown on the cover of Red Queen, I now own one! This is one of my favorite bookish crowns and I can't stop admiring it. QOTD: What are you currently reading? AOTD: I'm currently retreading Red Queen, so I thought this post would be appropriate. #bookstagram #redqueenseries #redqueen #glasssword #kingscage #warstorm #brokenthrone #victoriaaveyard #bookcrown #booklover #bookworm #booknerd #bookstagramfeature #epicreads #fiercereads https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4G4DUBb-p/?igshid=1fvsp2ia9ccy
