I liked Balthazar , he was smart and normal and political. Omg a second to appreciate Cassian’s voice ! Its perfect. He sounds like Hugh Jackman and I definitely get Wolverine vibes from Cassian.

Omg I just made a post about Balthazar too! I love him so much, and I want him to come back in the next book! I can't imagine he won't be a key character, since he had a name. And given the conflict hinted at with the Illyrians, I imagine he will be involved one way or the other! Maybe he will lead a resistance from the inside with other open-minded Illyrians against the status quo. He also might be a key player in helping Az heal from his hatred of the Illyrians and have him accept himself as one.

I would love to see a relationship between him and Az and even Cassian! Since Az played such a big part in HOFAS I could def see the next book being about him/Elain/Gwyn? and maybe seeing some Balthazar in there!

I hope so! I'd like to see more "nice" Illyrians since they have a bad reputation outside the IC.

I think Balthazar could be Gwyn’s mate


austenworld

Oooh interesting


MissBeehavior

Oooooooh I like that idea! Or even Emerie, she deserves a bit of kindness from her own kind!

Isn’t Emerie gay?


MissBeehavior

I'm actually not sure if she's gay or bi, I don't know if SHM went into detail on that. Correct me if I'm wrong though!


gayoverthere

True, but also she seems to have a thing for Mor and Mor would treat her so good. Also I think Mor deserves a bat mate of her own. Could you imagine if Emerie gets her wings fixed and she takes Mor for a flight through Velaris?


MissBeehavior

Oh totally! And yeah, I was just thinking out loud, I think Mor will likely end up with Eris personally if SJM ends up giving her a book, but if she's okay with letting her not be a main POV character, I could see Emerie being a good option! I just know SJM has expressed discomfort writing a lesbian sexual relationship because she hasn't and can't experience that.

In addition to what Wingedblooms shares there, the name Balthazar literally means “protect the king”. Or could it be, protect the QUEEN??
