I don’t  feel like organizing my chaotic thoughts about the book, so if you want to read about my journey of reading this book and my theories, go right ahead but beware of spoilers!! 

 

We know that the queen of the below is trying to take over the Enchanted Vale, realm by realm and is doing so by Caspian and the Nightingale. And supposedly the nightingale has already started with the spring realm and is about to start on the summer realm. So basically they have control over Prince Kairyn, presumably and possibly the acolytes as well. Especially since in the prologue the nightingale was mentioned to isadora. And we’ve met wrenly, who is an acolyte and presumably Daytons mate. It’s absolutely crazy that Rosalina is somehow accidentally traveling to be with Keldarion. Like first it was through a dream and then it happened again but while she was showering. I’m so happy that Farron fixed the notebook that Rosalina gave Caspian. But the thing that absolutely shocked me in that chapter was Caspian saying he wants to be human 😳. Also, Caspian insinuated that he and Rosalina are not mates and the only way he can communicate in her mind is because of his bargain with Keldarion. But he could easily be lying to farron. But ew, I can’t believe Dayton admitted there was something there between him and wrenly. I swear this better be the nightingales manipulation taking place somehow to try and take over the summer realm as she’s done with the spring realm. Could the nightingale and Westly be the same person? They both have piercing blue eyes. Plus, wrenly said her favorite color was black and I may be reaching but the nightingales thorns are black. And in the new fan art, it’s Kairyn and wrenley, who could be kairyn and the nightingale as they are always together. Also, the authors paired a feather emoji with wrenleys name. And then her nickname by Caspian is birdy and wrenly—Wren is a bird. We finally learned the truth of Caspian and Keldarions bargain. And sheesh, that fight everyone had after?? Wow. Every single person was PISSED. And y’all, they’re all CENTURIES old?? Wrenleys stories keep changing. First she said her father was a flower merchant, then a vendor and a cartographer. Rosalina, Eldy, Marigold, and Astrid all started acting strange about going up the mountain after wrenley came in and replaced the flowers 😑. It was definitely a trap to kill Rosalina because she’s the NIGHTINGALE !! What if Rosalina and Wrenley are related because she started acting strange once she heard Rosalina’s father was coming to the spring realm and she claimed you have him and I don’t?? 

 

How is that we went from finding out Rosalina and ezryn are mates to the absolute shit show that went down. Like hello??? He stopped his curse from breaking because he was terrified of the power he was feeling. Ezryn was seen without his helm. He killed guards and inconsequently was killing Rosalina. He was arrested. The blessing of spring was passed to kairyn. AND THEN kairyns bitch ass banished Ezryn from the spring realm and cut off the pointed tips of his ears!!!!! And made him do a walk of shame out of the spring realm!!!! AND THEN, the fucking nightingale ambushes them once they all step out. And everyone learns that the nightingale and kairyn have been working together. And her bitch ass takes Rosalina away. It’s finally confirmed!!! The queen, the enchantress is ROSALINA'S MOTHER!!! And Caspian knew all along, but how?? Another reason I think they’re related is because once the nightingale realized Rosalina could hold the bow without a token, she was like give me the bow!! Because she knew she didn’t need it either because they’re sisters !! I already know damn well that the mate bond between wrenley and Dayton is fake. So no need to worry about that. But damn, Ezryn is finally done with Keldarion especially or because of Caspian. But hello?? The queen of the below has queen Aurelia imprisoned????? And Caspian visits her?? And she have him the power of thorns!!! And my theory is confirmed, the nightingale and Rosalina are sisters!!!! AND Caspian and Rosaline are mates 👏👏👏👏!! Knew it from day one. And Rosalina’s fathers life is connected to castletree?? 

 

 

“What do I say? That I never feel fear around the goblins or during the long, lonely nights, but she frightens me beyond measure? That each smile or touch she offers me is like a lightning strike, rending me to my core? And more than all of these things, I know it is only a matter of time before my determination breaks, and I will be hopelessly lost to her?” (Ezryn) 

 

“The mountains told me your name. The forest sang your song. My heart has been searching for you since the first dawn. My heart searches for you, too, Ez. Let me find you.” 

 

“I could pass a thousand seasons staring at you and never have my fill of your beauty. I want you when the cherry blossoms fall in spring, and during the balmy nights of summer. I want you on a forest floor filled with autumn leaves and shivering in winter’s snow.” (Ezryn) 

 

“How am I to know what you dark princes like?” (Farron) 

“What I like is you, Autumn Prince. On your knees and begging for me.” (Caspian 🥵) 

 

“All the centuries of my life have passed with little meaning because I was waiting. Waiting to find her.” (Ezryn) 

 

“What about when you said being mated to me was—what did you say again? Utter torment.” 

“Because it is utter torment. To have the most beautiful and kind and strange woman as my mate and not be allowed to do more than look upon her.” (Keldarion) 

“Strange?” 

“I would not have you any other way.” (Keldarion) 

 

“When we make love, when we made love with Rosie, when Rosie speaks of being with you—it’s different than anything I’ve experienced before. It’s magic. It’s enchanted. It’s golden. You’ve always been mine. Mine to chase. Mine to love. Mine to lose. And I’m not going to let that happen. I’m never going to lose you.” 

“Fare, we can’t control the fate of the stars.” 

“Who says we can’t? I know in my heart, in everything I am, that you belong with Rosie and me. And damn, I hope the stars are watching because I’m going to show them how much.” 

 

“Ez, you are so fucking hot.” 

“Would you have been upset to be mates with me if I were hideous?” 

“I fell in love with you when I could only ever dream of the color of your eyes. I would have stayed in love with you even if you were clad in metal for the rest of my life. And I love you now because of who you are. You being a total hottie is just a plus.” 

 

“There is nothing—nothing—that could keep me from you. No blood nor blade nor judgment cast upon me. I would tear my bones from the grips of death and offer a thousand more in my stead if it means you await me at the end of it all.” (Ezryn)
