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.

Piece of Holly Black, in “The Folk of the air”
"A king is a living symbol, a beating heart, a star on which the future of the Earth is written. You must have noticed that since his reign began, the islands have changed. Storms come more quickly. Colors are a bit brighter, scents stronger... When he gets drunk, subjects become tipsy without knowing why. Where his blood falls, something grows."

man, Last Heir To Blackwood Library is good in many ways, but its protagonist has gotten hit with the Idiot Stick way earlier and more thoroughly than she should have
like
yeah okay she's being fed upon by a sentient library and she's becoming weak and forgetful, but it seems inconsistent how Herself/Aware she is at any given time. she forgets things but it isn't making her any less intelligent or strong-minded as far as I can tell
they'd better reveal that Arthur has mind control powers later on, because otherwise I can't fathom how Ivy as established at the beginning of the book- and as she continues to seem despite losing time and developing amnesia -would agree to marry his obviously evil ass like a week after meeting him, when they've spent a total of ~6 hours together max
loneliness wouldn't make one THAT desperate in such a short time, not when one has been repeatedly described as "not interested in marrying" by the narration. so I have to conclude that she's either being possessed or she's not very bright
And like don't get me wrong- I'm SO HERE for bad decision queens as protagonists. see also: my favorite movie and Edith "want to climb that clearly questionable baronet like a tree" Cushing. it's just that her bad decisions don't gel with what we see of her character before she starts making them
(I'm hoping the deal with the anchoress and the monk is going to be "there is no monk; the anchoress was perverted into a mad monk over years of telephone games and The PatriarchyTM, and she and Ivy will work together something something triumph of Women What Read Books over men who want to control them" but I'm not optimistic at this point)
