Isla is absolutely insufferable oh my god

She’s also the dumbest b*tch I’ve met since Feyre

And can we talk about how there’s such an emphasis on the fact that she’s the only ruler who’s like barely a legal adult by our standards while BOTH of the love interests are literal centuries old??? I am so f*cking tired of that trope. Make her old too or give her a love interest her own age for Pete’s sake
