but i feel like Lucien gets a chance to be happy (even though he was with Tamlin the tool) he deserves someone... but i guess we all know Azriel gave elain the sword sooo.. that means so much. I frickin get so annoyed with elian though like come on girll.. toughen up woman power but she just hides and is so innocent...
I prefer Elucien because I dislike the idea of the three Archeron sisters matching up with the three Illyrion brothers... it just seems way too cliche. Plus Lucien deserves some love, and they're mates? I also feel like Azriel would prefer a romantic interest who needs him but can also look after herself (as was seen with Mor), whereas Lucien would want someone who he can protect and care for, which fits Elain a lot better. Elriel's friendship is cute though, I can definitely see them as best friends. I just don't ship them romantically.
Ooh! That's hard, I really want Lucien to be happy - he's had a lot of bad things happen to him. Really... I would love to see Elain's thoughts because then I could really make the decision. Elain and Azreil are super cute together but I feel like if Elain gave Lucien a chance so could they!
I honestly have to say Elriel.
To everyone who is saying that Lucien deserves happiness, I do agree - but... Not with Elain. They don't go well together. And to everyone saying the Elain/Lucien are mates... We know that it is possible for a mating bond to be faked (throne of glass series), so the King of Hybern may have used the cauldron to help fake the mating bond between them to have some leverage on Lucien and ensure his loyalty. Another possibility is that even though Elain and Lucien are mates, it doesn't mean that they are necessarily right for each other - Mor's parents were mates, but weren't right for each other either.
Now, going on to the part of why Azriel is right for Elain, they are both generally quiet, but do stand up for their friends/family, as well - Azriel helped Elain with her garden when no one else did.. Additionally, Azriel GAVE Elain TruthTeller to use, when NO ONE else had even touched it!
By the Cauldron guys, how do you not get the Elriel is better than Elucien?!?
I could go on for ages... But my fingers are starting to hurt from typing so much...
So, bye!
Hi KitKat, after reading that point now I do believe Elriel is better. I guess I just wanted Lucien to get the happiness he deserved and I just lumped him and Elain together, forgetting that sometimes the mating bond is wrong.
I think that Azriel and Elain would be really cute! But still, Lucien deserves to be happy. Also, I don't think that Azriel will ever stop loving Mor, just like Feyre said.
I ship AzrielxElain and LucienxVassa. Yes, Lucien deserves some happiness but I don't believe he can get that from Elain. Elain is a broken soul and needs someone gentle. While Lucien can be gentle, Elain seems uninterested and Lucien should be himself with his love. Vassa almost reminds me of Jesminda. They both have a sort of fiery and wild personality. Elain is nothing like Jesminda and Lucien knows that. Also, ElainxLucien seems forced. It was like the cauldron just shoved Elain toward Lucien as if "hey she's your mate love her" and it just doesn't seem right. I also do feel like Mor will tell Azriel soon and he's gonna rip his heart out :( Poor baby...
I can't help it, I like both. I think both Azriel & Lucien can understand & care about how broken Elain is but I think Azriel has the emotional acuity necessary right now to be a considerable force in Elain's life whereas Lucien has some growing to do & that growing might well be inspired by seeing how equal-footed Feyre & Rhys are in their own relationship. I'd love to see a friendship develop between Azriel & Elain as she continues to heal - maybe a relationship if attraction develops as well. I'd also love for Azriel to get out of his routine & potentially find someone outside of their circle that feels passionately about him & challenges him. But I think he has a way to go before he realizes he deserves a chance at that & I don't think he'll get to that place until Mor tells him what she's been dealing with. I don't think that would devastate him, I think it will free him some. I'm sure it might hurt and be confusing but no more than their history has already been hurtful and confusing at times. The difference being, both of them would then be free(er) to move forward than they are now & it'll be very interesting to see where/what that is.
After reading all of these i have to agree that i like both tbh... not going to explain cause you guys all did for me.. but the next book is coming out in May!!!!! so we will see then
ship both
