A real bird could have flown high enough to escape. I tthink the issue is that this is presented as a very deep dark turned to love story. But after reading all the novels, i don't think this has anything to do with love. Doesn't mean it is a bad story, but come on, don't try to sell me this as a romance of any kind.
It is not romance it's desires and obsession at least not now the romance doesn't really come until at least have way through the second novel. And Tay does not have Stockholm syndrome his not right in the head that much is sure and he knows it.
Yeah it is not Stockholm syndrome. He said it is schizophrenia. The romance to me never felt real even in the sequeles. After talking to another user about our points of view, maybe you can say there is some love but the obsession is much stronger and tay is never really free to choose. So i would say as a reomance it fails.
this novels been out for over a decade yall btchs complaining over something that was decided since the early 2000’s if u don’t like the story just don’t read it bruh lmao, this ain’t even the end too Taeui NEVER forgets this memory or any of the past shit Ilay has done, Ilay is a psychopath he never changes!!!!!!! that’s how real psychopaths work.
