Biancalekki answers “okay...am i the only one who is not so...”

Rumesa asked this question about Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4):

okay...am i the only one who is not so happy with Celaena's constant change of nature in boyfriends right now? I mean, first Sam, then Dorian, umm...Chaol, anyone? (I absolutely love him with Celaena, so much so that im pissed at the author for separating them) and then Rowan, I mean, seriously, ROWAN!!!, I just can't anymore, im done, thank you.

Biancalekki I don´t agree with you totally.

1. Celaena loves Sam. That's beyond doubt.
2. It´s true that Celaena maintains a short relationship with Dorian but I do…moreI don´t agree with you totally.

1. Celaena loves Sam. That's beyond doubt.
2. It´s true that Celaena maintains a short relationship with Dorian but I don't think it was never romantic love (at least on Celaena part). I think it was more a entertainment for her, a way of not to feel so alone and to feel loved. She loves him like a friend.
3. I think Chaol and Celaena have a connection since the first moment. It's a love that have a progress and both are stubborn people and have problems to express or acknowledge their feelings.
4. Something similar to Dorian case happens with Rowan. I judge that is not romantic love what there is between Celaena and Rowan, at least so far. In fact, there are a couple of times in HoF where Celaena specifically say that is not that what she feels toward Rowan. I don't deny that they have a strong connection but not the loverlike type.

Conclusion: I think the only two people Celaena has truly loved are Sam and Chaol. And don't bother me that there are so many male characters in the story because I deem that the history of every character with Celaena is unique and it makes me love them all of differents ways. I hope that Celaena and Chaol end up together but I love Dorian, Rowan and Aedion characters too.(less)
