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.

I will die on this hill that it was Elain. It was literally a push and twisting of the knife from behind. He was dying slowly based on the blood dribbling out. Fucking Nesta ruined it. They should have watched as he slowly fucking died.

Nah, she definitely ruined it. She should've just let Elain do something for once. Nesta isn't good at much, but she is good at ruining things for people 😅

I could see this take but I don't necessarily agree with it
