But he couldn’t help wondering if he’d ever meant anything to Celaena at all.
Extraordinarily silly thoughts from Dorian
And when she’d returned, severed head in tow and rumors flying about Sir Carlin’s murder, it had taken a week for him to even look her in the eye.
Why is everyone so soft? Its not like kale and D dont know what she does? That was the entire job application she went through last book
And hopefully Archer would have some answers
Please Archer save me from this love triangle
Chaol grabbed her arm. “If Nirall fought back, then there might be witnesses who heard—”
Crying because kale knows Celaena lowkey sucks at being an assassin
She didn’t have time to brace herself as he pulled her against him, his arms wrapping tightly around her.
I cant get on board with kalelaena. Please book convince me. Make me eat these words
“Come on. Let’s go to my rooms so you can debrief me like a proper gentleman.”
This book has made 3 debrief jokes in 1 chpter and im sorry to say it only barely worked the first time
After a joyous Fleetfoot calmed down
BABY!!!
The metal was always warm, as though it had a life of its own.
Or as tho its between your boulders
She’d given Lord Nirall the same choice she’d given Sir Carlin: die right then, or fake his own death and flee—flee far, and never use his given name again. So far, of the four men she’d been assigned to dispatch, all had chosen escape.
HAHAHA SHE IS THE WORST ASSASSIN
people were dying in droves. Dying from stupid, once-curable illnesses.
Us with measles for some reason
Because if the king ever learned the truth, if he found out what she was doing … He’d destroy her.
I once again want to reiterate that she repeatedly says shed do anything for her freedom but shes actually a flaky scam artist which is kinda iconic
A permanent reminder of the cruelty of the Salt Mines of Endovier—and a reminder that even though she was free,
And yet
she wanted to get off the castle grounds for a bit. She had blood money to burn.
Editor's note: It was not blood money
The chill morning air was like shards of glass in his lungs;
Pussy
but even with sweat running down his body, Chaol was freezing.
?????? Is he new to this
her nose was tipped with pink, color stood high on her cheeks, and her ears shone bright red.
Why arent you covering your ears for this scheduled morning run
How he hated her setting off on those cursed missions and not contacting him for days or weeks.
He comes off so incel to me im sorrrrryyyyyy
He’d killed Cain at the duel. Killed him to save her.
Yep. He actually kills unlike Celaena lmao
“How often,” he said in between breaths, “do you think about the people you’ve killed?”
*Celaena barrels the camera like an episode of The Office*
He’d seen the way Dorian still looked at her. He wouldn’t betray his friend like that.
We'll see
And her ears positively ached. Perhaps she’d start wearing a scarf over her head—
HMMMMM?
“Oh, please,” Celaena hissed as they passed two women, who looked up from their fur muffs to bat their eyelashes at him.
SHES NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS
They must have awoken before dawn to be dressed so finely.
Absolute whores!!!
He shrugged. “Some people go a little stir-crazy being cooped up inside all winter.”
Sometimes Celaena is such a bitch that it makes Kale sound reasonable and kind
“Are you going into Rifthold to spy on Archer today?” Chaol asked softly, when the path was mercifully clear of giggling, blushing girls.
Why does she care
a blond young man in tow. She’d never seen the youth, who was finely dressed and looked about Dorian’s age,
A NEW BLONDE
but Celaena returned Roland’s smile and said, “I bury the king’s opponents where nobody will ever find them.”
In theory
“I’d heard about the King’s Champion. I didn’t think it would be someone so … lovely.”
Wouldnt be a SJM FMC if every man didnt instantly want to bang her
She wouldn’t mind working with him—but not in the way Roland meant. Her way would include a dagger, a shovel, and an unmarked grave.
??????????????? Oh right i forgot, every man has to want to bang her AND she has to be too cool for it
Roland was a pain in the ass, and too aware of the effect his looks and his Havilliard name had on women,
I like how hes instantly a caricature
Shoes, hats, tunics, dresses, jewelry, weapons, baubles for her hair,
But not in a whorey way, in a cool way
He didn’t know the half of it. This was just what she could carry. More had been ordered, and more would be delivered soon.
But in cool way
she dumped the bags on the table, nearly toppling into a heap of tissue paper and ribbons, “at least you’re not wearing that dreadful black today.”
We have to remind the audience she loves all things girls love, but she wears black (!!). Shes cool
She untied her white fur cloak—another gift to herself—
In a cool way tho
she’d often found herself missing him. Not the kissing and flirting, but just him.
I MISS HIM TOO
“So be my friend,” he said, his tone lifting. “Dine with me, play billiards with me. Tell me what books you’re reading—
Doriaaan
but I can always make time for you.” She batted her eyelashes at him.
Not in a whorey way tho
Dorian nodded, his smile fading.
STOP HURTING HIMMM
Dorian took a step closer, exposing his palms to her. “Do you want me to fight for you? Is that it?”
I WILL PASS AWAY FROM THIS
“No,” she said quietly. “I just want you to leave me alone.”
Why are we doing this
if the king actually has a group of people conspiring against him, then I should get as much information about them as I can before I kill Archer.
Points for a good lie at least
Chaol looked up. “I never said I hated him.” She just waited.
Silence is powerful lol
“Would you walk Dorian back to his room?” She batted her eyelashes at him,
Fair question but mixed messages
No wonder those girls find excuses to be in the gardens every morning.”
Honey you gotta let that go
“You should apologize,” it said. “You have no idea how loud and tiresome you’ve been these past few months,
Read by the door knocker
Celaena crossed her arms. Nonsense—magic always led to nonsense
Celaena snorted. “Don’t you understand? It’s already too late. It’s been too late for years now. Where was Elena ten years ago, when
Im on Cels side here
Where were she and her ridiculous quests when the world truly needed them—when Terrasen’s heroes were cut down or hunted and executed by Adarlan’s armies?
Clock it Cel
Chaol stomped right past every shop window, not even glancing at the delights displayed inside.
This is in my "cons" column for sure
Chaol raised his brows. “So I’m just here for decoration?”
This is barbies dream house
