CAN TAMLIN BE TRUSTED?

[Hannah]

In ACOTAR Feyre is told to follow three rules:
1) do not trust anyone
2) do not drink the wine
3) do not make any deals

Feyre ends up breaking TWO of these rules...however what if she broke all three? While Feyre was wary of certain high fae men (Lucien and Rhysand) she never was distrustful of Tamlin. Looking back, Tamlin never did anything to make Feyre suspicious however we still have a lot more to learn about Tamlin in book two. Also when someone tells you not to trust anyone that means ANYONE. Even if the fae dude is hot and claims to love you. This is pretty far fetch but do you guys trust Tamlin or do you think he is hiding something?

I do think Feyre was wary of Tamlin and distrusting at first. What I noticed after re-reading several times, was how he manipulated the situation to his advantage. He used "the treaty" to force her to going with him. Then to keep here there and ensure she didn't leave, used her family as leverage, saying he'd no longer care for them if she left. And more so, when she wasn't kissing his feet but was realistically upset about the situation, he acted annoyed she wasn't grateful for how "merciful" he was by "letting her live" instead of killing her for breaking the treaty. The treaty that didn't exist. lol

What this tells me is that Tamlin is more cunning than he gets credit for. He's not this perfect ray of goodness and sunshine--he can be manipulative like the rest of the Fae.

Having said that, I don't think he will turn out to be this awful person. But I do think there was a time he didn't have a high regard for humans (hence his insult to Amarantha that he'd sooner sleep with a human than her) and I think he was a fierce soldier with a high body count. These two things may cause Feyre to realize she doesn't really know his past at all. And while he maybe has changed, I think she may struggle with his past if it's particularly brutal.

Neither were really in a position to share their pasts and secrets, so it will be interesting how it all comes to light.
