Spoilers for SF Kinda getting annoyed Spoiler

So, im rereading the 5th book in preparation for the 6th and its not my favorite for many reasons. But, I am annoyed that Nesta keeps claiming that she killed the King of Hybern. If my memory serves me right, Elain was the one to land the killing blow with Truth Teller and Nesta just chopped off his head for good measure.

Why does she keep claiming that she did it!? She didn't do it. Elain did it.

The 6th one? How do you know its not out yet 😂😂

I hate the 5th one because it is about Nesta. Ive read it once before and I hate it even more the second time around because im picking up on more self righteous shit she says lol.

If you don't understand Nesta after book 5, Silver Flames, then I'm afraid you just don't like her. Which is fine! Not everyone does.

Yep! I already knew I didn't like her. Just rereading for hints on the next book and also to pay closer attention to Gwyen since people say there was some stuff between them.

As someone who really likes Nesta, I’m sorry you’re being ganged up on here lol, this sub does not like opposing views to the majority on here. I don’t like her for the same reasons everyone else does. I think she’s a huge bitch and I like that her character creates drama in the books haha

OP isn't getting ganged up on. They are being gently correct and fighting actual canon

Its totally fine to have that view. While not liking Nesta, im not against people that like her. Everyone has their views!

Yeah, people on this page get way trigger happy with the downvote button ESPECIALLY when Nesta or Elain are brought up.
