“You said you had an eight-pointed star tattooed on you,” Bryce explained. “And you found the chamber with the eight-pointed star in the Prison, too.”

Nesta lifted her head. “So?”

“So I want you to take the Starsword.” Bryce held the blade between them. “Gwydion—whatever you call it here. The age of the Starborn is over on Midgard. It ends with me.”

“I don’t understand.”

But Bryce began backing toward the portal, taking Hunt’s hand, and smiled again at the female, at her mate, at their world, as the Northern Rift began to close. “I think that eight-pointed star was tattooed on you for a reason. Take that sword and go figure out why.”

- HOFAS, Chapter 100.

In one of her past interviews, Sarah J. Maas commented Nesta's journey was just beginning after Silver Flames, and after reading House of Flame & Shadow I believe part of her journey will be linked to the Dusk Court, as not only did Nesta bargaining mark has an eight-pointed star form (which is associated with the Starborns and thus the Dusk Court), as now she is the Gwydion owner. And as much as Nesta power is usually linked to death, its also showed capable of bringing life (as we have seen with the House of the Wind and Feyre & Nyx). I also found it particularly curious that Pegasus started appearing in Avallen once the land was healed, since Pegasus seem to have an association with the Valkyries.

Tharion Ketos and Ithan Holstrom share a single brain cell, but neither of them has it. Who knows where it is? Not them, that’s for sure.

I know for a fact Rhysand had an aneurism when Azriel and Nesta told him everything that happened in the caves.

I know at the end of that discussion man was like

[nesta-attorney]

okay but the friendship between Nesta and Azriel in HOFAS has healed a massive part of me and I will truly be greatful for it, always

[lyssasdrafts]

i just know azriel was appalled when bryce left. she shows up, calls him out for not having a love life, then calls him a club rat, steals his weapon that he’s really attached to and leaves

[blackholepenguin]

Azriel making requests of a Prythian orchestra to recreate the songs Bryce played him:

"It went *doof doof doof* *ttunz ttunz ttunz* and there was this ethereal sound like swelling strings but metallic. I need to hear it again."

If there's anything I want to say about HOFAS, it's that Lidia Cervos is incredible.

I'm obsessed.

[lorcandidlucienwill]

It hurts my heart how defeated Nesta is in in HOFAS. Rhysand and Cassian need to fuck off and go jump and die in a ditch somewhere. I'm all for killing every member of the Inner Circle but Rhysand and Cassian have gotta go first. EMBER QUINLAN MY QUEEN!!!! Oh how it warmed my heart to see Ember stand up for Nesta. The mother Nesta deserved, the mother that would bring Nesta back from her defeat in HOFAS. Strong, fierce, experience with assholes like Rhysand; she dealt with the Autumn King after all. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE INNER CIRCLE???? FIRST TAMLIN NOW NESTA??? BOTH OF THEM SAVED THEIR SORRY ASSES. NO GRATEFULNESS WHATSOEVER. FUCK OFF! I might just write Ember Quinlan and Nesta Archeron bonding and kicking Rhysand and Cassian's asses once and for all. Also, it amuses me how both Bryce and Ruhn don't think Rhys is worth jack shit either. It's almost like nobody likes the Inner Circle outside of their little cult meetings.

[laratrys]

Ithan and Tharion, two halves of a whole idiot

[azrielsbxtch]

I keep imagining Rhysand when Azriel and Nesta are reporting everything that happened with Bryce to him😂

Azriel : There was a Daglan asleep under the Prison this entire time.

Rhys : What!

Azriel : Nesta killed it. Oh and she used the mask in front of Bryce

Rhys : What!!

Nesta : Only cause of the middengard wyrm…

Rhys : WHAT!!!

Azriel : *trying to distract him* Oh and she took Truth-Teller!

Rhys : *pauses* Oh….I’m sorry about that Az *hugs Az*

*Nesta rolls her eyes*

Nesta : Oh your ancestors are actually genocidal maniacs….

Rhys :

[arinbelle]

Me, returning to tumblr after forever only to gush about Nesta and how it is very clear there is so much more to explore with Nesta, her magic, and her story and how I really think we'll get another book. 🥰😍🫢🤭🤗🤩☺️

The fandom for some reason: And these nonsensical details only meant to fluff up the writing are exact proof as to who Azriel will end up with

😒

[rainingriversofyou]

There was only one thing that Bryce Quinlan would describe her as: “A warrior.”
