r/FeysandDarlings

After doing posts for Feyre and Cassian, I figured it was time to finally talk about Rhys. Cassian wasn't even in the original plan, but oh well, it happened, and now it's Rhys's turn.

Doing a full series reread after ACOSF completely changed my perspective on him, in the best way possible. A lot of people started turning on him after that latest book, but honestly? I just grew to love him even more, same as I did with Feyre.

​I think ACOSF gave him so much more depth. Seeing him through Nesta's or Cassian's eyes was a completely different experience and it honestly makes me so curious about how he’ll come across from Elain's POV in future books.

Like I mentioned in an older post about his true motivations with Feyre, his absolute priority is her happiness, and I love that so much. It's just so sweet that she always comes first to him 🥺

At his core, he is definitely not "evil." He’s been a gray character right from the start, and he still is. The thing is, Rhys only shows that soft side everyone falls in love with to Feyre, not to everyone else. Not to Nesta, for example, which makes total sense.

Did your feelings about Rhys shift this way too after rereading?

Edit: I already loved him, but l think ACOSF added so many layers of depth to his character that I'm completely in awe of it. He is easily one of my top MMCs now.

What pets do you see Rhys and Feyre getting? What type of pet parents do you see them being?
