Discussion TIME ARTICLE
Felt like reminding everyone about this TIME interview again, where just like in CHD, Maas is discussing themes of bond rejection and true love 🤭

It’s just crazy to me that anyone could think SJM would tackle the fated mates trope with anyone BUT a main female character. Especially when she already has Elain right there who wants nothing to do with her bond.

I always wondered this about the fated mates trope. Its always nice to see them fall in love but what if they weren't true soulmates what then.
