So I finally had a day off and could wacth season 3 of Bridgerton and oh.my.god. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.So three things before I get into the meat of it. First of all, I sincerely hope that Violet and Lady Danburys brother get a chance to connect more MAMA VIOLET DESERVES LOVE TOO! Seecond the fact that Anthony cannottt keep his hands off Kate is so hilarious to me like get awf that lady and let her breathe. And third Francesa being a subtle autism rep is so amazing to me, as an autizzy person myself seeing someone with the same mannerisms as me within a romance setting is so refreshing like it truly puts joy in my heart. And also the sign language in the first episode???? love itttttt, they truly perfected diversity without shoehorning it.
Now to the meattttttt of it.
Now friends to lovers has never personally been my thing and in terms of each bridgerton show im gonna rank this leason my second least favorite but thats NOT to say I dont like it I very much enjoyed this season but i do have my critiques.
1
While I get a giggle out of Pen's sisters I cannot stand her family as a whole, for the simple fact that they treat her as if no one would EVER want her just because she plus sized and has "odd interest" in their words, it infuriated me how her mother wanted Pen to say yes not because she was happy for her but because she truly thought this would be Pen's only chance. Despite my disliking her family it was a good plot point for her to finally decide to make a change and put herself out there. I feel like in her previous two seaons for her she didnt put herself out there because, as weve seen, she has a huge lack of confidence that it was more than likely the work of her mothers and her sisters doing. I also loveeee the wardrobe change from bright gaudy colors and patterns to more Bridgerton esqe colors in her wardrobe. The wardrobe in Bridgerton has always amazed me but putting Pen in that light blue was amazinggg she was gorgeous and glowing. Even her sisters were eating this season like props to wardrobe and makeup bc they ate. Im so worried to see whats going to happen when Collin eventually finds out shes lady whistle down like omgggg.

I don't hate Eloise and Cressida NOW HEAR ME OUT OKAY. Cressida is still not a good person at all but I'm so glad we got to see more of her character bc it definitely shed light into why she acts that way. It would be completely ignorant to sit there and believe that the pressures of the ton to be perfect and find husbands quickly and avoid scandal WOULDNT make the girls get a little nasty with each other. The pressure from her parents specifically made me go "Oh girl I think id get nasty too if those were my folks." In no way does it excuse her treatment of Pen tho!! I also liked that it was Cressida who clocked Eloise's tea about her pointing fingers immediately at her when Pen got exsposed. Not to mention when the girlies came to Cressida for tea SISTA DID NOT FOLD!!!! She politely said naur and kept it pushing. Like I understand Cressida was neverrr the nicest and was a gossip but if Eloise decided to hang around her then she shoulda had faith in the girl. Like Eloise I love you but doooo betterrrr. Don't get me wrong at all yall Eloise is my fav but I'm glad people are clocking her for her shittt. I hope Cressida and Elosie stay friends but they constantly build off of each other to be better bc I loved how Eloise made her dislike of Cressida's treatment towards Pen known.

This is so unrelated but i love bennedict BAD hes sooooo idk yall I need him.

COLLIN BRIDGERTON IM HERE TO CLOCK YOUR TEA.
Imma be real I might be bitter bc I feel like Pen shoulda made that man grovel. After what he said about her to his friends in the previous season he should have been on his hands and knees BEGGING for her forgiveness she let him off too easy. Also I don't really appreciate that it took another man giving Pen attention for his stupid ass to finally be like "Oh shed kinda bad actually." I ALSO don't like how when he described how he liked Pen as a friend it wasn't because of her actual qualities it was how she made HIM feel. "You're always here to listen to me and give me a new perspective!" Sir you could have just said she was very insightful, you enjoy her company SOMETHING other than a service she has done for you. That why Im glad he was suffering so bad every time he saw them together he was SICK to his stomach and I'm here for it.
All in all I cant wait to see how things go down next bc I think everyine is gonna reap what they sow Pen, Collin, Eloise EVERYONE. bc the sneak peak looked crazyyyyyy.
Anyways the next thing I should post will be the Finnal Gambit the last book in the trilogy of the hawthorn legacy series.
See yall later!
Think about it.
He did little things over and over until it became her normal.
She never wanted a crown, yet Rhysand puts one on her every chance he gets.
Never cared for jewelry,
Put her in slutty clothes similar to utm and now she wears them willingly.
He changes the Narrative to make himself look like the good guy and Tamlin is the evil one.
He SA'd her and then makes her believe he's the better choice and will always let her choose.
Fun fact. Giving someone options isn't them choosing. When you chose the options to begin with.
!:Don't hate me guys lol it took forever to get back to posting but I swear I've been reading. I've finished fourth wing AND iron flame and i decided i was gonna do two parts in my reviews from now on 1 will be my thoughts on the characters. 2 will be my thoughts on the plot so these yap sessions are gonna have two parts per book.
So without further adoo here are my opinions on the fourth wing characters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Violet Sorrengail
I genuinely think Violet is so funny but not in a " she has good jokes" but more of a "damn she's kinda real". Promising to stay away from Xaden went out the window QUICK. First glance and homegirl was hungry I respect it. Giving Rhiannon her shoe without even hesitating just shows you what kina person Violet is she rides for her friends fr and she barely KNEW Rhiannon. People doubted her sooo much (looking at you dain) but they would always compliment how smart she was but their compliments never really extended to how she applied her mind to doing stuff. I mean who would even think to come up with that way of clearing the gauntlet. She dosent let anything stop her and I got mad respect for it.
Xaden Riorson
Don't jump me guys please....sometimes he gives me the ick. Don't get me wrong he's cool but i feel like he's very...cut and paste in my opinion. He just reminds me of a less emotionally available Rhysand. Even the looks are the same. BUT, i respect his character, Xaden is still young but took over the responsibilities of every marked child, every last one. He loves his folks real bad and I fw it.
Rhiannon Matthaias
Queen. That's it honestly. Bad Bitch. Cuntress. What else do I say. Rhiannon was the first to witness Violets vulnerability and didn't say SHIT. Any time Violet needed cover Rhiannon got her. You fw Violet? Rhiannon is on your ass. And she kicks ass like what more can we want. I defiantly knew she was leader material the more scenes I read of her, this is a Rhiannon stan account.
Dain Aetos
Brother eugghhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's always the first love interest that ends up being the ick. And I know I said Xaden gives me the ick but Dain Aetos? Yucky. I truly cant stand that no matter how many times Violet succeeds with flying colors he still believes she cant make her own decisions, having conversations to move her elsewhere not on her behalf pisses me off, and he's so possessive for what, I understand the whole childhood friends thing but its weird and I don't like it. Also the millisecond we knew what his signet was I just knew he was gonna peep into her thoughts from the jump. And then after Violet nearly got murdered in her sleep he REFUSED to believe that it was Amber who let them in. You're telling me an alleged fling meant more to him than his childhood friend getting killed in the night. Dpmo.
Liam Mairi
The best to do it fr fr. At first he was just assigned to violet as a favor for xaden but after a while violet was his buddy, I also feel like he assisted in bridging the social gap between the marked ones and the rest of the cadets. He will be missed.
Mira Sorrengail
Typical older sister tbh, I dont have any overwhelming thoughts of her, kudos for going toe to toe with their mom about Violet joining the war college.
Jack Barlowe
Definition of a crash out, is responsible for a good portion of the cadets deaths in the first year and that blows my mind bc........for what purpose. Like what does this do for you. And going after Andarna????? What business is it of yours if she had decided to bond with someone why kill her? And why did he think the dragons would just LET them kill her. Tairn should have cooked him in that moment ong. Baide weird as hell for bonding with a mf willing to kill a baby dragon for no reason.
Imogen Cardulo
She gives me the vibes that she can talk some major shit, ik she gotta be a notorious shit talker and one who can back it up too.
Lilith Sorrengail
I don't like her. Girl your son died, your husband died, you eldest daughter could get cooked at any moment and you're so eager to send your youngest too? For what reason? "All my children are riders" well one is dead allegedly, the other ones squad keeps getting attacked and you knew damn well violet would be a target. Otherwise i feel like she's a boy mom.
Andarna
Sweet baby love her
Tairn
Tairn is so funny, "You're bleeding stop it" LMFAO?! Truly one of my favs tbh
Ridoc Gamlyn
Everyone says Xaden this Xaden that, I'm in love with Ridoc. He's funny but not the annoying funny, trying to keep things lighthearted for the group so they don't get depressed. Cracking jokes after an asshole got torched Infront of you is one way to calm your friends down lmfaoo. Bi icon
Edit: To add Brennan
Brennan Sorrengail
Bitch where tf have YOU been?!
Now other than these characters there are not a lot of characters that I find too much of an interest in nor do I have many comprehensive thought's about them so that's all for the Fourth Wing Review part 1!
when I think of Cassian defending Feyre from Nesta in book 2. sure. surface level Nesta deserves to get a tongue lashing. whatever.
however
Feyre brought three very large fae men into Nestas house without so much as a heads up. Not only that, Rhysand ordered all staff (including their protection) to be removed from the premises, leaving only Nesta and Elain by themselves. Two very human women
one of whom has already been sexually assaulted
all those girls have is Nesta and her sharp tongue and mind as Any kind of protection. Feyre brought three apex predators into their home without so much as a heads up. She thought Feyre was *dead*
and on top of that, Rhysand lured the attor to their home and then let it go
The attor. who worked for Hybern. The ATTOR who worked for HYBERN. who now had the Exact location of the two very human Archeron Sisters
idc if the IC said they'd protect the sisters. Idc if they denied the offer to come to velaris
Feyre brought three apex predators who were a part of a slaving race without so much as a warning into their home and then ordered all their staff out of the house so they were *alone* with these apex predators and then Rhysand painted a BRIGHT red target on their back by luring The Attor to those girls front steps
So I finished the book before my shift right and GUYSSSSSSS. The amount of info they give you in the last few chapters is insane! Zarah being in love with Nash's dad and Sky swooping him. Zarah's affair with OREN OF ALL PEOPLE. Ricky actually being Avery's father but Toby is her adoptive dad. Tobey has another daughter, AVERY GETTING BLOWN UP AND KIDNAPPED IN LESS THAN A WEEK. Lord it's a wonder why anyone in this story is sane because I personallyyyyyyyyyyy id turn into an alcoholic really quick. I feel like with every new ounce of information is brought up the kids really never get to sit and digest it. Grayson met his dad and within the same month he was dead, even if he hated his son and Gray didn't know him it still must have done a number on him mentally. And with Nash to find out your father was sent away for years bc ur mom and your aunt couldn't settle their beef was wild, I would be unfathomably pissed at the situation. And AVERY the rollercoaster of her thinking Tobey is her bio dad and then finding out Rickey is her bio dad, along with realizing she never knew her mom's real identity and finding out Tobey accidentally killed her aunt and that's how he and her mom met. Finding out they were in love finding out she has a grandmother likeeeeeee. I don't know how shes even functioning y'all. But that's all for this book!!! I'll update soon with my next read
