After the titles for ACOTAR 6 and 7 were announced, I found myself missing the Valkyries and started re-reading ACOSF.

A scene in Chapter 42 caught my eye: when Amren talks about magical swords, she mentions Narben and says a water nymph (!!!!) told her Amarantha had thrown the sword into the sea... Now we have a Valkyrie who is half-water nymph, has a mysterious family history, and possesses mysterious powers!!!!

I think Gwyn is going to find Narbem and maybe even become its new owner!

And after the ending of CC3, Nesta has two magical swords, a third one is lost at sea... Could there be three magic swords for the three reborn Valkyries? ⚔️

I'm a huge fan of Sarah and I've read all her published books.

I really like her style and I think nobody writes about friendship like she does, but one thing that has always bothered me is that her best friendships are almost always male-centric.

her female friendships almost always involve lies and death to move the plot along (like in TOG and CC) or we don't see much interaction during the story because the characters are on different quests.

Now with the Valkyries, I'm hopeful that for the first time healthy female friendship will be the central point of the book, and that makes me so happy that I'm more excited about the interactions between Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie than about finding out who the main couple will be (team gwynriel tbw 😅).
