Dare I say it, is she our queen?

I finally finished Throne of Glass and now I'm feeling empty ;__;

Just 11 more months until Crescent City.
I've never been this hyped about a book before.

Of course not.
That would require some actual smarts.

Around the last 100 pages of the third book of Throne of Glass there's this scene where the MC is pretty much beaten and in agony and suddenly she sees all her past friends/family in front of her and they tell her to "git up bitch" (not literally). And then suddenly she becomes a walking nukes and nukes the baddies with fire magic.

Have Western authors taken this from anime cliches or has this always been a thing?
It's that I'm reading this series when I'm bored at work, but to be fair, it wasn't a deus ex machina asspull even if it still reads like anime cringe.

>Maas introduces a black character
>She gets murdered brutally
Is our queen secretly red-pilled?
