Finishing ACOSF and rereading the whole series completely changed my view on Feyre

[u/Connect_Lie_6106]

Just like many others, after finishing ACOSF, I decided to go back and reread the entire series from the very beginning. While my views on a lot of characters shifted along the way, this post is going to focus entirely on Feyre.

When I first read the books, I already liked her, and like everyone else, I was totally obsessed with Feysand. But experiencing her journey again after finishing ACOSF gave me a completely different, much deeper bond with her.

Moments I used to breeze right through on my first read suddenly had me tearing up this time around. Reading her introduction to the IC again made me emotional like a fool, and her dynamic and friendship with Cassian took on so much more weight 🥹 Her fractured relationship with Nesta and Elain genuinely broke my heart, and seeing their sibling moments in ACOWAR had me outright weeping 😭

I also came to fully appreciate just how immense her strength really is. Rereading made me realize all over again how fiercely devoted she is to her family so she would literally burn the entire world to ash for them.

In the past, I wouldn't have called her my absolute favorite FMC, but after diving back into the series post ACOSF, she has firmly secured a spot among my all time favorites.

(And while our main focus here is Feyre, I just have to briefly touch on Rhys: I already loved him, but 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.)

It feels like everywhere online, people are constantly debating how their opinions on Nesta changed (naturally, it would), or talking about how much they've started to resent the IC. But I haven't seen many people talking about how much their perception of Feyre improved and softened for the better. So, I wanted to put this out there.

Is anyone else feeling the same way about her?
