- Her character’s stupidity is so potent and concentrated that it made me lose precious brain cells
- unforgivable crime especially considering the fact that our brain nerves to not grow back after they are damaged
- Her internalized misogyny is also something else (but that is more of a societal problem)
- Betraying Tessa and the others for Nate
Taryn Durate – The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

- extremely similar to Jessamine in the worst ways possible
- for both of them there is nothing wrong with a girl wanting romance (I’m one of them), but it’s how they manipulate and betray others for….very questionable guys (to say the very least).
- Betraying Jude for Taryn

- Took like 2/3 of the entire series for him to “accept” Alina’s powers and her identity as a Grisha (she lost her powers not soon after too so I don’t even know if that acceptance count much to be honest)
- Is as interesting as a wet sock and is as useful as a bag of expired flour
- Almost as whiny as Alina. Maybe they are a good pair after all

- Hated him for his treatment of Aelin and the lack of proper reconciliation between them
- Never formally acknowledged and apologies to Aelin for misunderstanding her, saying all those cruel things to her before Tower of Dawn
- But his attitude in Kingdom of Ash greatly improved even without the explicit reconciliation
- so instead of having him be eaten alive by pigs , maybe just driving over his body a few times back and forth with a Honda would do
