No—she wasn’t human at all. Celaena was Fae.
KILL ME NOW I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN
But before she could move, before she could get to the portal, the magic rippled, so violently that she sagged to her knees. Pain flashed, and she shifted back into her clumsy, frail mortal body.
maybe there's hope yet
He had destroyed everything. He’d had Nehemia assassinated, had manipulated them both, had used Nehemia’s death to drive a wedge between her and Chaol, all in the name of power and revenge
it's funny because if she had just killed him like she was CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to do and had threatened to do many times...of course then there wouldn't be anything to write a book about and it'd be boring so fair enough
One flick of the wrist, and she could slit his throat.
she COULD
“You’re leaving Rifthold tonight,” she told him. “You and all of your friends.” “Thank you,” Archer breathed, standing. “If I find out you’re still in the city at dawn,” she said, putting her back to him as she stalked toward the tunnel stairs, “I’ll kill you.”
girl this is so EMBARRASSING I have to believe she's just actually about to kill him anyway because there is noooo way she's making this empty threat for the 10th time
Then she moved, too fast for him to stand a chance. Archer’s eyes went wide as she slid the dagger home, jamming it up into his heart.
I mean she could have just done that. What was the point of that 30-second fakeout lmfao
She stared down at the body, her final words to him hovering in the air, running claws over Chaol’s already chilled skin.
"I'm going to tear him apart" she says multiple times, as she grants him the quickest and most merciful surprise death imaginable
for seeing the dark truth of her.
again Kale this is nothing you have not know about Cel from nearly day one
“My great-grandmother was Fae,” she said. “And even though my mother couldn’t switch into an animal form the way the Fae can, I somehow inherited the ability to shift. Between my Fae form and my human form.”
*stands up, throws kindle out of window*
Dorian reached over and took her hand, bringing it to his lips for a swift kiss. Nothing romantic—a gesture of thanks. “Even though things are different between us now, I meant what I said after the duel with Cain. I will always be grateful that you came into my life.”
sweet
the horrible truth might be: that Nehemia had engineered her own death, knowing that she might change the world—change Celaena—more through dying than living.
My Danika PTSD is at a 9 right now
If anything happened to her, Chaol was fairly certain he’d forever regret that day, too. But he just said, “One of us has to start leading, Dorian,” and stalked off.
what a dick
“Will you look after her while I’m gone?”
you were just going to leave Fleetfoot without asking Dorian this? Lmfao good thing he found you
“What does that mean?” he demanded. She smiled sadly. “You’ll figure it out.
WHY ARE WE DOING RIDDLES CELAENA
“When you do, I want you to remember that it wouldn’t have made any difference to me. It’s never made any difference to me when it came to you. I’d still pick you. I’ll always pick you.”
what the fuck are we talking about
“Please—please, just tell me what that means.” But there was no time, so she shook her head and stepped back.
omfg this is purely for the audience and that sucks. Write better!! There are ways to do a "reveal" later that don't involve your character being psychotically nebulous
Why had she told him everything about those—those Wyrdkeys, but made this hint so obscure?
for the audience
that she might know where the lost princess Aelin was hiding? That she had been there when this all happened?
oooooh spicy
Bright blue eyes, ringed with gold. A strangled cry came out of him.
....................................
How many times had he looked into those eyes? How many times had he seen her avert her gaze,
...................................................................................................
that one bit of proof she couldn’t hide, ...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
.........................................I need to say something right now. If this is setting up a big reveal that Cel IS Aelin I am going to LOSE IT because so many of y'all have supported me in saying I hate Cel but been like "you'll love Aelin tho" and I am telling you right now I will not forgive this
Celaena Sardothien wasn’t in league with Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Celaena Sardothien was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, heir to the throne and rightful Queen of Terrasen.
FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Celaena was Aelin Galathynius, the greatest living threat to Adarlan,
jesus fucking tap dancing christ
Celaena was the lost Queen of Terrasen.
THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME EXCITED FOR MORE
