Every epic serial by Sarah J. Maas involve characters going through trials and tribulations that lead them to meet their fate teammate - their other half . TheA Court of Thorns and Rosesseries is no unlike , and I ’ve always realise it as one of the series ' most compelling concept . While both Feyre and Nesta are already mated , their sis has n’t accepted her sexual union bond or experienced a romantic plot line ; meaningthe nextACOTARbook will center on around Elain ’s journey .
Theories about Elain ’s dependable conjugation bond have been swirling since she turned Fae and Lucien Vanserra claimed to be her mate immediately . However , the debate about who Elain ’s material mate is has no end in sight , until Elain herself makes a pick ( which will likely be a big part ofthe nextA Court of Thorns and Rosesbook).OneACOTARtheory suggests that Elain and Tamlin may really be endgamedue to unique similarity they share , but for many reasons , including Elain ’s already - germinate amorous storylines , this hypothesis just does n’t hold up for me .
I Hope The Next Court Of Thorns & Roses Book Debunks This Tamlin Mate Theory
It Really Doesn’t Make Sense For These Two Characters To End Up Together
OneACOTARtheory dives into outstanding particular about the reasonsElain and Tamlin may actually be mate . However , I do n’t see it as a realistic hypothesis , as the jump of logic it takes me to reach that conclusion is pretty extreme . This theory highlights small Easter bollock throughout the seriesthat stage towards this mateship ; such as Elain ’s childhood dresser draftsman have flowers on it . Some interesting points are made about fate and foreshadowing , but I do n’t see this couple working out due to their immensely different temperaments and complex history .
The eminent Fae live much longer than humans in Sarah J. Maas ' Court of Thorns & Roses series , so how old is Tamlin when the first Word of God opens ?
The main argument supporting Elain and Tamlin being match is the wayElain is systematically described with floral and springtime mental imagery . Since the first book , it ’s hinted ( and even blatantly write a duo times ) that Elain would equip absolutely in the Spring Court . This floral word selection to describe Elain ’s personality suggests that Maas believes she embodies the vigor of spring and the beauty of the season , not that she necessarily should be with Tamlin . I desire the next Scripture in theseries andHulu ’s upcomingA Court of Thorns and RosesTV showwill likely examine this hypothesis wrong because Tamlin would probably blind Elain ’s shine .

Tamlin & Elain Wouldn’t Work Together After PreviousACOTARBooks
Their History Would Be Too Complicated To Overcome
Not long ago in the serial , Tamlin and Elain had a traumatic re - creation that allow Elain emotionally scarred . Since Tamlin clearly has lots of body of work to do on himself while he claw at his own redemption arc , and Elain is traumatize … it ’s not a swell apparatus for an heroic Romance language . Had Elain and Tamlin meet in a way that did n’t take her human death , I may be able to picure her open up herself up to the romance , but specially knowing how Tamlin treated Feyre , this coupling does n’t make sense . Even if Tamlin is redeem , his anger issues remain a big concern for me .
Key Background Facts:
Tamlin may not be irredeemable ; he even sacrificed himself to save Elain ’s life during her escape from Hybern ’s camp , but because he ’s the reason Elain was turn Fae , limn them as a couple would be a strange dynamic that I do n’t think Maas should tackle . Besides that , Tamlin has a history with Elain ’s sis , Feyre Archeron , who he treated frightfully and continue to hassle even after their interruption - up . Due to this complicated history , Elain and Tamlin would have too much to overcomeif this coupling essay to rival the interpersonal chemistry Lucien and Azriel already have with her .
A Court Of Thorns & Roses Already Set Up Two Better Love Interests For Elain
Elain Is Not Desperate For Love Interests, She Has Too Many Already
While it may be slow become invested in the idea of Elain and Tamlin fall down in love , but it draw focalize off from two ongoing and promising romance storyline that already exist for Elain . In my judgment , both Lucien and Azriel have much better chances of wooing Elain : Lucien is her mate and her chemistry with Azriel is tangible . Both likely dear pursuit would convey out a unlike aspect of Elain ’s personalityif they were choose inElain ’s book in theA Court of Thorns and Rosesseries .
Elain might get a slightly different lovemaking account . Elain is the first main role that Maas has introduced that is involved in a dearest - triangle with her first mate , suggesting she will have to make a choice between what is expected of her and finally countermine expectations .
If Lucien ’s romance with Elain develops , it will likely focus around their growth as characters and slow - burn , wholesome love story . If Elain chooses Azriel , her storey automatically becomes one of rebellion against Rhys and follow a forbidden love story trope . Both of these options would provide Elain with more chance to shineand acquire as a well - round off character than a life in the Spring Court , pacifying Tamlin ever could . After waiting for five books to learn more about Elain , pairing her with Tamlin during the most pivotal parts of her P.O.V would be very disappointing and insistent .

Tamlin & Elain Should Both Defy Sarah J. Maas' UsualACOTARTropes
Why Should Either Character Go Along With Expectations?
My close analysis of the serial makes it clear thatthe fated mates trope has been overdone throughoutA Court of Thorns and Roses . With the first books revolving around Elain ’s sister obtain their fellow ( Feyre and Rhysand , Nesta and Cassian ) Elain might get a slightly unlike dearest story . Elain is the first main character infix that is involved in a love triangle with her mate , suggesting she will have to make a choice between what is have a bun in the oven of her and eventually pervert expectations . Elain has n’t historically shown consistent strong belief or strength , so her likely decision really intruiges me .
As for Tamlin , I think he should be on his own for a minute to grow and atone for his misunderstanding . Despite other characters incur mating bonds , these bonds are supposed to be rare in theA Court of Thorns and Rosesseries ; every grapheme does n’t need one ! Tamlin should prove his dedication to development by doing everything he can to apologize to the Archeron sisters , not romancing them . If Maas intends to give Tamlin a future in the serial , the longevity of his character will be lengthen if he rightfully improves his character and focuses on his buyback arc .
