Kindle Notes & Highlights
Love may be strong enough to break a curse, but love was a curse its own right. Especially when it ended.
If she wanted me, I was hers. If she didn’t… I’d still be hers but from afar.
“I know you don’t love me,” I said, “but I think I love you enough for the both of us.”
That was true love. Seeing a person for who they truly were and loving them anyway.
“But I love you, Aveen, with the heart of a man who has lived for centuries in the dark. A part of me will always love her, but the rest of me is yours.”
“I need you to know that I will never mind you leaning on me. When your burdens feel heavy, that’s what I’m here for. But to cast them all on my shoulders and treat me like a pack mule cannot happen again.”
“I will wait for you,” he said. “For a day, for a month, for a year. Whenever you’re ready to come back to me, I will be there.”
I’d said it before and I would say it until my dying day: I would make her proud to be my wife and I would not let her down again. Keelynn Bannon had saved me in more ways than I could count. From my curses. From myself. I wanted to be worthy of her forgiveness. Of her love.
“I have never dreamed of marriage, never thought I’d find someone I’d want to be with for all of eternity, and yet if you would’ve asked me, do you know what I would’ve said?” She shook her head. “I would’ve said yes. Without hesitation. Because I am already yours, from my worthless heart to my blackened soul. I only wish you felt the same.”
“My beloved princess, tonight you are the only thing that matters. The world could burn for all I care. Tomorrow, we’ll dance on the ashes.” Tadhg
“I may not be yer soulmate, but that doesn’t mean I care for ye any less.”
Love was its own brand of magic. Overcoming impossible odds. Bringing hope to the hopeless.
“My light, my love, my world, I have been intrigued by you, hated by you, and saved by you. To be loved by you is my greatest joy. To spend eternity at your side is my greatest honor. I stand before you of my own free will and offer you my hand and my heart from this day until my last. For you, I forsake all others. To you, my soul is forever bound.”
“My wicked, devious prince. I have hated you and loved you in the same breath. If I’m your light, then you are my dark shadow, always by my side. I stand before you of my own free will and offer you my hand and my heart from this day until my last. For you, I forsake all others. To you, my soul is forever bound.”
“I should be down there too,” she murmured. “To do what? Distract him?” As much as I hated being behind these wards with the other women and children, Tadhg had been right to leave us behind. Watching them fight, I knew I wouldn’t have a hope of taking even one guard, let alone fighting multiple at once.
LOVE a princess/FMC character who can actually admit this. 3 weeks of training montage do not equate centuries of combat experience. Looking at you, Feyre.
Long live the princes from Tearmann, the princess and the heartless Queen, for they brought peace to all the land the likes of which had never been seen.
