I get that this series has a theme going, showing the more visceral sides of a fairytale, so of course Happily Ever After is more like Seasonal Depression and Art Therapy Make Things Balanced, Neither Happy Nor Unhappy. BUUUUUT who asked for this Direct to DVD Christmas special of a book? The needless shopping scenes were sooooo taxing! An entire novella just to bridge the ending of the orig trig with any future books, instead of letting either set of books stand on their own denouement/introduction's merit! And THIS book largely rips up any of the good the previous books did as far as showcasing grieving characters who grow. Every "hero" is arrogant and petty in this book. Anyone not in their inner circle is treated as a pariah, even though they have been through the exact same events, same trauma. Why shouldn't Tamlin, Lucien and Nesta resent Feyre's Happily Ever After? Why does Rhys or Feyre or Elain need to knock any one of them down further?! The toxic message here seems to be "Yeah yeah, everyone's got baggage, everyone's depressed about something... but if you're a person worth caring about, you'll turn yourself around! Wallowing in depression is selfish, fix yourself so that others don't have to endure your unpitiable, odious life choice." ..... Depression is not a choice. It is a legitimate bodily response to trauma. And you can't just snap out of it to make other people happy. Eff this book. Eff this series for not living up to its promises. Eff any future plans to torment these characters further. Enough already.
