Ok for some reason I am really struggling with Celaena & Chaol’s connection …. Let me preface this by saying I read acotar first and absolutely loved that series. I know I shouldn’t, but I compare a lot of the two series. So I’ve been comparing connection to Celaena and Chaol. For some reason it just doesn’t seem like there wasn’t enough build up between the two of them before they slept together. Maybe it’s because she was so into Dorian and then kinda switched her view? I like the two of them together but I’m just not sold … did anyone else feel like this?
Celaena & Chaol **acotar spoilers
SpoilerACOTAR SpoilersI would say continue reading :)
Yes, I’m going to finish the whole series!! It’s been great so far, just wondering if anyone else got the same vibe as me
I seriously did get the same vibes, things between Chaol and Celaena felt terribly forced at some points as well.
Like Chaol doesn't like Celaena's line of work as an assassin and pretty much see's her through rose tinted glasses (he preferred her as Lillian Gordaina rather than the real Celaena Sardothien)
Whereas, even though Dorian found Celaena's work too gory for his liking, he very well knew exactly what she was like before and inherently got the real Celaena in the early stages of the book. The only thing that went wrong was that Dorian felt too much for her that she didn't feel as much towards him so their relationship was doomed from the beginning.
