A Court of Wings and Ruin

I started with liking this series, but by this third book I pretty much wanted to throttle Rhysand, Feyre and the rest of them! Well, that and after a skim read of A Court of Frost and Starlight.

The reason? Their absolutely horrible treatment of Tamlin! I think I might be in the minority who feels really sad and awful for Tamlin.

Ps. Apologies for the long rant, but I just had to say it.

* POTENTIAL SPOILERSI get he did some really awful stuff, but by the end of the third book, I was feeling desperately sorry for him. I mean, in his own way he did help with the war. People only seem to see the bad in him, but did people forget how he provided a distraction for Feyre and Azriel to get away when they went to save Elain? Or when he gave that little bit of his power at the end to bring Rhysand back?! Considering how they all hated him, he could well have said no and said to hell with it! True, they probably would have killed him if he said no, but he did it! Do people forget that he made sure to take care of Feyre's family when he took her over the wall when he could well have left them to rot?! And what about how he must have felt when Feyre destroyed the Spring Court? Yeah, she had her reasons, but does noone think about how that must've felt for Tamlin?! Or how he might have felt when Lucien, his best friend, left him too?! Don't get me wrong, I wanted to throttle him for how he treated Feyre, which I actually don't think was helped by vile, horrible Ianthe! But people seem to forget what being Under The Mountain did to him too. It's awful that he didn't he try to help her when they were stuck there, but no one is perfect. He also put himself at risk by being so involved with Hybern, but he did it. Maybe it was for selfish reasons but he did it. I find it really sad how he became so isolated. He didn't help matters, but it's sad that literally no one bothered to try to help him. They just brushed him off like some evil villain, who wasn't worth trying to help. Reading about him in A Court of Frost and Starlight, living in that absolute mausoleum of a house, made me just want to reach into the book and give him the biggest hug! If there are anymore books in the series, then I hope Tamlin finds some happiness/redemption. Everyone deserves a second chance! Going back to Rhysand and the rest, I can't believe the hypocrisy of the lot of them! They can all make mistakes and be forgiven , but Tamlin can't?! Like Nesta? They're willing to forgive all her crappy, shitty behaviour, but can't extend the same courtesy to Tamlin?! Nesta can be a grade a b*** to everyone including her sisters no less, but they're happy to let it go?! But when it comes to Tamlin they're happy to knock him down again and again?!

After that treatment of Tamlin, they can all rot for all I care, with their bullshit holier than thou attitudes! Well, apart from Azriel and Lucien. The only two characters that I remain liking. The only reason I'll read any future books (if there are to be any) is for them.
