Discuss the princess here!

I'm really glad she turned out good cause she was worrying me in the middle of the book.

Oh, same here!! I was so happy that Celaena got a nice girl around her own age to be her friend, someone who made fun of Dorian half as much as she did, and then when Celaena suspected her...I was crossing my fingers that she'd turn out to be wrong!

I wonder just why she went to her enemies' castle in the first place((forgive me if she already explained in the book, its been a while since I read it))

Some kind of diplomatic trip, if I recall. She didn't really go in-depth. I think she's spying on the enemy as well.

Ah, well she seemed pretty interested in the runes and symbols around the grounds so I wondered if it was something a little more to do with magic or something

Hmm. Maybe. She seems to know a lot more about those runes than she lets on - especially the one that appeared on Celaena.

True, I wonder what her goal is. What will she gain by going into the lion's den?

She certainly was. I love the friendship between her and Celaena - it's one of the best YA friendship pairings, in my opinion. Both of them were so loyal to one another.

I really ship dorian and nehemia always have and always will, I really hope she will get resurrected and her and dorian will get married and have cute little babies :3 <3

I'm reading Crown of Midnight right now and I just about died when I read (view spoiler)[that Nehemia had died (hide spoiler)]. I refuse to believe it!!!! Please tell me it's not true!!! She has to come back!!!

[priya]

I'm sorry Analeese no one will answer. Keep reading

(No one answer btw)

[Manon]

Oh how I weeped when Nehemia died!!! She was a strong indivisual with a passion to stop the King of Adarlans harsh ruling. It is so unfair that she died!! I was hoping Nehemiah and Aelin would reclaim Terresan together and free Erilea of the King's control and end all slave camps....my dreams shattered when she died, how will I ever be the same again I do not know... Aelin and Nehemiah had the greatest friendship and bond you could possibly ask for and then Nehemiahs gone forever.... and forever is such a long time...

PEOPLE, READ EoS! You'll understand why Priya wrote what she did.

Died of shock and sorrow from Nehemia Ytger's death

[Diane]

Poem about Nehemia's death:

The young girl sits by her friend's grave
She sings a mournful song
She tries to be brave
She knows why her friend died, why it had to be done
Her friend had sacrificed herself for the girl, not just anyone
"It's my fault," the girl thinks
"It's my fault she died. Because I was a coward and ignored her hopeless cries."
She had to take action
She had the gold and turquoise eyes
They marked her as a someone
With a title she could not bear
She had to help or else the world would succumb to the darkness that would rip apart and tear
"Do not let that light go out."
Her friend had spoken those words
But with her dark history behind her, the girl could not help but break
The light in her flickered and sputtered out
The deaths and betrayals of her loved ones left her in despair
And even as she trained
This world felt like a nightmare

[Solaris]

Again very spot on and beautiful. So so sad. :'(

Awful what Nehemia did. To "I'll make you do what I want by having myself killed" ?? FUBAR. It was for her people, but it was also a horrific act and betrayal to Celaena. Or at least that's just how I feel. Even so, I loved their friendship and Nehemia's character in the series. Not sure about the portal encounter with Celaena and Nehemia either--still pretty harsh even in death.

But anyway, lovely poem and great that you shared it. :) thank you!

[Diane]

Thanks for your feedback! I'm flattered. And it kinda sad what Nehemia did but I sorta blame Elena.

[Grace Meredith]

I might get a lot of hate for this *raises hands*, but I didn't fall in love with Nehemia like so many other people did, and I feel terrible about it. I guess I just didn't get to know her well enough to really count her as a good character. Also, Celaena romanticized a lot of her traits...

I did like her very much but I feel I need to know her better. All we know about the real Nehemia, aside from all the politics and the grand scheme of things, is very little in my mind. I did cry when she died, but for Celaena.

[Elizabeth]

I love Nehemia she was the perfect friend for Celaena, I started crying when Celaena walked into the room and saw her.

** SPOILERS** I agree! I understand why she did what she did in crown of midnight and i admired how much she loved her people but it frustrated me how Celaena kind of accepted her betrayal. Sure she was a good princess but she was a terrible friend. She basically lied and manipulated Calaena who blamed everything on poor Chaol. Considering what Nehemia did to her, She was far too loyal after her death, but thats just my opinion. Have a great day :)

[Maude]

AAAAAHHHH!! I READ CROWN OF MIDNIGHT AND I CRIED ALL NIGHT NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Maude]

But really I cried all night and my parents didn't know why and they were very worried about me.

[Zeyah]

Mother above Nehemia was the best character in the Gods-Damned rutting series.

[Maude]

That is very true.

I really wish she didn't have to die!!
