"Look everyone! I was just a single letter off with “A Court of War and Starlight”! lolololololol
This is seriously going to screw up my tagging system, I can tell. XD XD XD
I don’t have a precise guess about the title, but I have a couple of thoughts to narrow it down.
1) The words are usually in positive/negative binary pairs. Thorns (-) and Roses (+). Mist (+/-) and Fury (-). So one word will have a positive or at least neutral quality, and the other will be negative.
2) The first word is monosyllabic, and the second word disyllabic. So the W word will have one syllable, and the second will have at least two, unless she does away with that this time.
3) If the second word is disyllabic, the stress is usually on the first syllable. ROses and FUry, for example.
Of course, none of these rules need apply if she’s not concerned with maintaining the rhythm. But it’s a good starting place.
That said, my guesses for W are: War (duh), Wrath, Wind, Wings, Wounds, Woe, and Writ.
My guesses for R are: Rising, Ruin, Rapture, Raging, and Rescue. I’m keeping Redemption on reserve in case she breaks the pattern. Rapture is my favorite, though.
I’d love to hear what your guesses are!"
This is actually really smart.

I thought of A Court of Wings and Rage/Revenge?
I dont know, i just want the book now!

But I don't think the W will stand for War, seeing as the abbreviation (is that the right word? lol) is acoWAR.
Wrath or Revenge seems like quite a good guess, you know, with Feyre most definetly going to make Tamlin pay for how he treated her.

Therefore, it could also be:
A Court of ____ and Ruin A Court of Will and ____
A Court of ____ and Regret A Court of War and ____
A Court of ____ and Remorse A Court of Wind and ____
A Court of ____ and Rising A Court of Wisp and ____
A Court of ____ and Redemption A Court of Worlds and ____
A Court of Wrath and ____
Anyway, those were my guesses! THANK YOU, AND GOOD NIGHT!


A Court of War and Rainfall
A Court of Water and Rainbow
A Court of Wind and Rage
A Court of Wrath and Ruin"
I was also thinking "A Court of Wrath and Ruin."

I feel like Tamlin and Lucien and their Hybern allies will know about Velaris but no one else.

I think it will be a mix of black and either green or purple.

Or have them reaching for each other with their tattooed hands.
currently reading. I love how Feyre is scheming but Tamlin has no clue. He's just glad he has Feyre back in the Spring Court
I still don't like Tamlin though. I am still not done with the book yet but I wanna punch him all over his body. Same with Ianthe

Literally a court of war"
That was intentional, apparently. Like, because of the war, Maas and the publishers and whoever else wanted that reflected in the title, hence why the Wings and Ruin initials part spells out war.
