@bestiesandthebookspod: We’ve heard this reasoning a lot, and consequently Nesta (and SJM) get a lot of criticism about the mental health rep in ACOSF. What are your thoughts? Could you relate to her? Did you despise her? Let us know. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #nestaarcheron #archeronsisters #acosf #acourtofsilverflames #sarahjmaas #hottake #unpopularopinion
3 ways different people handle trauma.
Rage, dissociation, persistence.
Nesta, Elaine, Feyra.

I don't like Nesta. Not only was she horrible to EVERYONE, but as an older sister, I can't even IMAGINE treating my siblings the way she treated her sisters..

Can I say, I did not like the book , I totally understood the book and how and why Nesta did what she did , and I like it , but for the first 30 chapters, tbh i was like WOW THE ANTAGONIST THE PLOT IN HERE FOR IT, but the plot was not there 😭

This was my favorite book. People don't like Nesta because they can't place themselves in her head space and understand the how and why. Honestly she's my favorite character. A ton more depth than any

So... as a recovering addict I feel like I'm a Nesta. The way I acted in my addiction all the way to my family helping me get into an outpatient rehab and now working on forgiving myself and becoming a better person. I understood Nesta's hate, anger self sabotage. I loved everything about this book

As a therapist and a Nesta, I thought the mental health representation was beautiful and well done!

FabulousRenee :
I definitely preferred this over the others. And I think it’s because I love an upfront character who doesn’t shy away from hurting peoples feelings. Because some of these people had to be called out

I genuinely can't wrap my head around the hate for this book because it's so beautifully written.

I'm a Nesta, and what people don't realise with her is that her trauma goes way back before the cauldron, before Feyre killed Andras, before they lost their wealth. Her mother was her first bully

Ella 🌟📚 :
I relate so much to her, though I’ve never acted the way she does, but how she feels and especially climbing the mountain was the first time I’ve sobbed by a book

I’ve dealt with a nesta and felt irritated by her character but still enjoyed the book as it offered an alternative perspective of the world I’ve gotten to know

As someone who loves an addict this is absolutely spot on! It was a really interesting read to see the POV of Nesta.

I think they did a great job of portraying that kind of coping. Her character development made me more emotional than any of the other books. Bc Nesta was abused by her mother bc her only use was to

I like the book but still don’t like her I think if it was the first book it’d be different but I fell in love with feyra and then to watch nesta be so disrespectful it’s hard to like her
