#i think she just forgot she wrote tamlin to be observant

[shadowqueenjude]

“Didn’t …,” Tamlin interrupted, his deep voice surprisingly gentle, “didn’t your mother tell you anything about us?” I prodded the table with my forefinger, digging my short nails into the wood. “My mother didn’t have the time to tell me stories.” I could reveal that part of my past, at least. Lucien, for once, didn’t laugh. After a rather stilted pause, Tamlin asked, “How did she die?” When I lifted my brows, he added a bit more softly, “I didn’t see signs of an older woman in your house.”

Tamlin is observant. Tamlin is observant. TAMLIN IS OBSERVANT. So what the actual fuck was book 2? We never got a proper explanation! Smells like *retcons*
