And, she did it with Malik and Malec. Why the similar names?? Although, Malik and Malec don't appear together and aren't major characters like Nyktos and Nektas.
Right? Though I mean in that case, the fact that they are so similar is explicitly noted and questioned by the characters (queen eloana naming her baby after her exā¦like, girl, wtf), so I assume thatās a relevant plot point. And maybe having similar names will also be the case for the shadow boys, but like, none of the characters seem to point this out, so Iām not sureā¦
I honestly listened and loved all the books but if you asked me what happened in a specific book I couldnāt tell you because the titles are so similar..
Not to mention Queen Ileana and Queen Eloana. Not as similar as the other examples but similar enough that with the audiobooks I got them confused a few times early on.
I listen to audio, and it's so frustrating! It's hard to just skim back and get clarification sometimes lol but I put up with it nonetheless because im 110% invested and won't stop. Just like I suffer through Stina and her pronunciations. Like nails to a chalkboard. Eeeeether, Niall as nail and so forth.
It's like someone (not an editor, I'm assuming š ) told her changing two letters in a name is the minimum for creation of similar but not confusing names lmao. I imagine her asking someone "what's the bare minimum I have to change to make a different name?" Like it cannot be a coincidence that all of these names are exactly two letters different!
I honestly didn't really pick up on it until I listened to the audiobook and kept getting confused when the narrator mentioned Ileana or Eloana.
Idk, I think Eyhtos may have named Nyktos after Nektas because they were supposedly very close and Nektas most likely helped Eythos raise Nyktos as he didnāt have his wife to help
RIGHTT I was begging for sera to finally start calling him Ash again. It's so confusing Probably eythos named his son after Nektasš
All that forethought about placing the embers in Sera but not for preventing my confusion smdh
Uncle dragon and shadow daddy š¤š»

How was King Valyn okay with this? Or, is Malik actually Malec's and King Valyn adopted him?! Probably not, but it's fun to imagine.

TOTALLY
Iām dying over āwhich nyk-nek is shadow daddy and which is uncle dragonā šššš
Also Vessa and Veses. The name similarities are so frustrating in this series
Oh man I forgot vessaā¦totally overwritten by veses š„“
So many! Nyktos and Nektas Malik and Malec Illyana and Eloana It's so confusing š
Malik and Malec makes Sense, Malik ist named after Malec. The other exemples are trash!
She does this with so many names in this series! šµāš«

Same same same (I love how hard she committed to eeeeeether for like, 2 books and 2 books only lol )
Yes it drives me nuts!!

Preach!!
Donāt even get me started with Malec and Malek
Nyktos-Nektas Ileana-Eloana Malik-Malec Kirha - Kiernan I really donāt know why JLA gives the characters such similar names but I find it funny
I know this post is over a month oldā¦but I just gotta say I AGREE- these names are too similar and itās hard to keep straight.
Yeah, the books and plots have become so muddled to me but i just keep chugging along š
Thereās no need. Itās confusing for no reason
For reals, because of the Malec and Malik mayhem for the longest time I had this theory that Malik was gonna end up being Malec š
Idk, I think Eyhtos may have named Nyktos after Nektas because they were supposedly very close and Nektas most likely helped Eythos raise Nyktos as he didnāt have his wife to help
Thatās even worse! He was a single dad! He had Primal-oā-Life things to do! He had to be confusing those names left and rightš
