On goodreads I'm seeing some Jaenelle hate as well (not hate but like that ain't it yknow). Which reminds me of how much I love the way her character is constructed. The whole goddess walking on earth is super appealing to me, because the story always treats her as goddess whereas if it was in another book it would very much be a story about her as a woman solely and how that's ultimately better. For Jaenelle it isn't, her journey as a woman is a burdensome one actually. It's always skating on the line of overpowered Mary Sue but it's always reminding you that she actually isn't supposed to be there, alive, communicating and living amongst others. I love the parallels with Jesus (YES JAHSHAHS I KNOW but it's exactly that). Is she a savior or the fact that she's responsible for everyone and bears everyone grievances what ultimately harms and kills her freedom?

#and I love it #i feel sorry for everyone who couldn't quite understand it #at the same time it's very easy to just read it all as simple wish fulfillment fantasy #which ultimately ends with disappointment when you don't reach the perfect happy ever after #the same for the relationship between daemon and surreal #Jaenelle can't live as woman for long whereas Surreal can't understand the depth of the Black #perfection is impossible for both of them which makes their existence together necessary #and it's just chef's kiss #I love the black jewels I'm so glad this last book just confirms and makes me remember everything I love about it #the next post will be about how Jaenelle Satien is valid and we shouldn't hate her #I wish everyone who's obsessed with difficult misunderstood female characters a very good day #the black jewels #Ana Luiza treats the tag as her own once again #otp: daemon and surreal #otp: your room is always ready for you #tbj 🖤 💎
