Throne of glass is not in the same timeline.
Okay walk with me. Tog is in the past. Acotar and cc are happening concurrently.
Aelin falls DOWN through worlds, but also through time itself. Bryce is yanked sideways through worlds into acotar. Because they’re happening during a linear timeline.
The new acotar titles are the Valkyrie cycles, divided into movements like a music piece. Let’s focus on the music piece. She’s referencing the Stygian symphony (bc of the cover and musical nature of titles). doing so bc aelin’s favorite story is about a dark mythic place of shadow and mist (or a thin place). They’re also the first 3 acts of twilight of the gods, an orchestral place about ragnarok and maybe fourth series and final act
Erilea has not yet been funneled by the asteri into Midgard. Lydia is not Aelin’s descendant, but rather a result of Dorian x Manon. That’s why her eyes are gold but she has Brannon as an ancestor.
Thoughts? 🫣 I’m losing my mind
