I'm late to the party, but...
I'm really behind on reading books when they are new but maybe I'm not alone. I've read ACOTR series and just finished the Crescent City trilogy. I have not read TOG!!!
I have tons of opinions I could babble on about, but I want this post to focus solely on the fact that >!Bryce gave Nesta the starsword at the end of CC3!<. I was wondering what you thought about this?
The magical special princess with all the power and all the intelligence to be 3 steps ahead (and all the ego to not mention any plans to anyone, not even her husband and MATE - another post, for another day) suddenly gifts a sword that is only usable by her to the original fae world? No one questions it?
Do we already know the answer to this? I'm late to the party.
Bryce doesn't want the pressure of any of this, so she's giving it away. But that means SJM has to have a plan for it. Heres my theory: >!Bryce is a descendant of Theia, and Rhysand (💜) is a descendant of Silene, which means they are cousins(?) or something. !<
!They both have to have a link to the same magic. So maybe Rhysand can weild it, maybe.... Or, maybe Nyx will weild this sword one day?!<
Are there any better or more solid theories about this?
