I don’t get why elriels think that saying gwyn is a side character is a drag? like yeah she is a side/ supporting character in acosf because thats nesta’s story but that doesn’t mean that she can’t have her own?

By that logic Elain will also never get her story because she is a side character, very minor, actually. In ACOSF we got less of her (way less of her) than gwyn and she’s nesta’s sister. In the whole series we know less about Elain than gwyn. We are on book 4 plus a novella and Elain’s feelings and thoughts are still a mystery. Meanwhile we know gwyn’s backstory and she had a major character arc in acosf, she’s a Valkyrie and Carynthian. And there’s the fact that she wants to get better, she wants to leave the library, she’s more than a priestess. That’s a good set up for a story with amazing projection. And what does Elain want? yeah we don’t know. (Note: this isn’t anti Elain I’m just saying how things are and she will have more character development and an arc in her own book with Lucien, thank you very much.)

We know she will get a story because she’s one of the sisters but that’s the biggest indicator. If we were to decide whether she would get her own story based on what we’ve gotten from her, a lot of people (elriels) would say she wouldn’t because she’s just a side character like gwyn.

And the take on gwyn being introduced too late to be an important character is also laughable. the point of there being more books outside of feyre’s pov is to expand the world of acotar……….which means introducing new characters and places, that should be pretty understandable for any story……..

Anyway, peace.
