As we're introduced to Helion, he was portrayed as a "swaggering prick", to quote Rhysand. Maas had to provide us with a story of love and heartache to seal that deal. ![]() He was presented so beautifully that I couldn't help but be sucked in to his charms that seemed to float right from the ink to my eager eyes. Helion was one of the beautiful gifts I was glad to discover while reading ACOWAR. Which couple is it? As if the title of this article wasn't enough of a dead giveaway, I'm referring to the recently revealed, star crossed affair of Helion Spell-Cleaver and the thus far unnamed Lady of the Autumn Court. It was discussed through recounted stories and tales of woe, so few tales that each casual mention or remark could fit neatly onto about five pages. In fact, it wasn't a romance that was played out on the pages. Nor was it Amren and Varian, Cassian and Nesta, or the new but strong personalities of Kallias and Viviane. The starring romance in A Court of Wings and Ruin for me wasn't the power couple of Feyre Archeron and Rhysand. ![]() Regards and best of wishes to anyone who manages to get through it. Also, despite this subject hanging on my mind for weeks after reading the book, I decided the best time to write my article was at 3:30 am, when I was exhausted, so forgive my jumble of thoughts resulting in a discombobulated sort of essay. This article contains spoiliers for A Court of Wings and Ruin, so if you haven't read it yet, you've been warned.
