#i haven’t read hosab but i fullyyyyy agree

[acotars]

possibly an unpopular opinion but i feel like sjm’s writing/plotting have gone downhill, which is disappointing bc i enjoyed tog so much. i actually did like the first 4 acotar books and hoeab, but her most recent work feels like she’s trying to do too much with the maasverse and it’s not well thought out (i had so many issues with the larger world plot elements of acosf and the regression on bryce’s character arc in hosab…). it feels like as she’s gotten more and more popular, whoever her current editor is doesn’t do a good job at making her ideas work best for the overall story. i’m disappointed bc the premises have so much potential but haven’t lived up to it to me :/

send me your unpopular opinions and i’ll either let you in or not

#i haven’t read hosab but i fullyyyyy agree #people have been hoping for a crossover since acotar1 came out and i’ve been so against it since the beginning #like … i just. … :/ #the very concept of a crossover stems from the fact that her universes are all nearly indistinguishably similar #and i don’t know how much of that was originally intentional (my guess is zero lol) #so to see her now doing a whole sjmcu thing is … sigh. #personally i think she does this a lot — where she pulls a late-game move and acts like she was laying the groundwork all along #when ‘the grohndwork’ was actually just inconsistencies and plot holes that she capitalized on later jfkfkdkd #groundwork*** lol i can’t type today #that’s how i feel about mor/az and stay w the high lord and dorian’s dad having no name and so many other things fjfkdk #i agree w you for sure but honestly i think the lack of planning hit its peak in like 2018 and it’s been a battle since then lol #anon #asked and answered #hot takes #acotar #anti sjm #(tagging for peoples filters so i don’t get yelled at 😵‍💫)
