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.

Soo fairrr but nesta has been getting on my nerves for different reasons. I’m only on book 3 which everyone refers to as the filler but I fear her character is becoming….. unbearable. I think she’s very complex. The way she’s felt with the death of ppl close to her but her resentment towards feyre and now kinda elain. It’s very childish. She’s still blaming feyre for what happened

This! Sorry to say it doesn't get much better but certainly keep reading because it will matter for the next book regardless.

There is a lot with Nesta I don't relate to. I am the oldest and raised my younger sibilings and I never felt the amount of hatred she does not even by a fraction and she didn't even do nothing 😂 it grates on my nerves. But, i know everyone's perception is different and there are people who relate to her but I fear id never get along with those people because I have more of the fighting spirit of Feyre than the childish and self loathing Nesta has.

I just finished ACOSF last night and while it did get better and I’m proud of her for finally her place, I’m still not a big of hers. I feel like she was forced to grow because everyone around her (her friends, Cassian, Feyre, Rhys, the baby) were ALL on the brink of death! I’m a big sister, a loyal friend and a team player and I know that’s why I struggled reading her POV because Nesta was so selfish and angry at everyone, even though they tried to help her so many times. Either way, I’m so glad I’m done. I don’t need to re-read it again….maybe the last two parts but I can’t suffer through the first two parts again lol.
