House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, #3)

by Sarah J. Maas

Ruhn stumbled on the first step, and she was there, heaving him over her slender back, lifting him. Fucking carrying him,

CHILLS OMG

Hot tears began to streak down Ruhn’s face.

Same

Ruhn was well and truly crying then.

Absolutely

She was lovely—her coat a gold so pale it was nearly white. Her golden eyes were framed by thick, dark lashes. A slice of darker gold slashed up between her eyes like a lick of flame.

Sun stag?

“You don’t even know what you’re thinking, Ithan Holstrom.”

this is baseline for my guy.

Bryce lifted the plate and the ham-and-butter sandwich atop it.

Ew wtf bb

“Yeah, our periods would probably get all over the books.”

My motherfuckin QUEEN

“I’m pretty sure there are rules, even in this shitty empire, against treating females like that.”

“Priestess, witch … and now sorceress.”

woahhhh

She extended the Starsword toward his face. He didn’t dare move as she bopped him on the nose with its tip.

QUEEN SHIT

Bryce in her element. Leading these shitheads along by the nose.

lol this is the entire CC theme.

“Yeah?” The love in his voice threatened to shatter her heart. “I knew these smoldering good looks would come in handy one day.”

Omg you motherfucker

She studied her hands, the imposing ruby ring on one of her fingers.

WHAT.DOES.IT.MEAN?!??!?

Hunt pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “I suspect you’ll find out the answers in the most dramatic way possible.”

I love them

Jesiba shot back, dark fire flashing in her eyes. A seed of Apollion’s power—transformed into something new.

Uhhhh wtf is this. did i miss something? ope i recall now. The boat.

“Sorry, sorry,” Ruhn said upon seeing Hunt’s frown. “Flynn and Dec discovered the waffle station in the mess hall and went crazy.”

Lol wtf

Though Ruhn and his friends continued to debate whether waffles went better with syrup or whipped cream—of all the fucking things to talk about right now—she

Ewwwwww why

Jesiba winked at him.

Uhhhb what is going on?

“I will remind you that royal you might be, but you are still female. And Fae females speak only when spoken to.” Bryce smiled slowly. “Now you’ve done it,” Hunt grumbled,

Queen shit

“Okay, let’s do a head count. If you’re disowned, disgraced, or both, raise your hand.” Tharion, Baxian, Lidia, Hunt, and Ruhn raised their hands.

My bbys

“If you pitched this place as a luxury vacation, you’re about to get a bunch of one-star reviews,” Bryce muttered,

Omg

“I know my female presence will probably cause the caves to collapse from sheer outrage,” Bryce said, voice echoing off the massive dome above them, “but yes.”

“That is … a lot to look for,” Flynn said. “Bet you’re wishing you’d learned to read,” Sathia trilled, striding for the catalog.

“You’re the one with a built-in flashlight,” Hunt

But Ruhn lifted his arm above his head and flipped him off without looking back.

Hot.

Lidia lifted those golden eyes to the twin princes and said, “Shall I demonstrate how I make males like you talk to me?”

Queeeen

Ruhn had just decided that he really should go see where his friends had disappeared to all day,

Uhhhh ya think

“I come from a long line of powerful stag shifters. We have rituals. Secret ones, old ones. We don’t necessarily worship the same gods that you do. I think our gods predate this world, but I’ve never confirmed it.”

TOG?!

“Now I don’t fucking care who you are, so long as you’re mine.”

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the fucking fuck—

Bryce brushed invisible dirt off her shoulders,

Lol yes

“There was a scientist at the Asteri Archives,”

Finally!

“I’m sick and tired of people using girl as an insult.”

QUEEN. SHIT.

if the cost of uniting the sword and knife is too much, Bryce Quinlan, then don’t do it. Choose life.” He glanced to Hunt. “Choose each other. I have lived with the alternative for millennia—the loss never gets easier to bear.”

So Ruhn stared into his father’s hateful face and said, The Oracle didn’t tell me that I would be a fair and just king. She told me that the royal bloodline would end with me.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“And I’m your motherfucking executioner.”

IM A MOTHERFUCKIN MONSTA

“Light it up,”

Her brother only pressed a kiss to her brow and said, “Long live the queen.”

“Welcome to Hotel Horseshit.”

her rasping voice turned his bowels watery

Whoop there it is

Gods, Bryce would have had a field day with this guy—his

Same.

the helicopter started roaring again, this time piloted by Randall,

Randall is such a badass

seven shards the Fendyr sword

Of course its 7

“It’s my first mission with my girlfriend. I want to impress her.”

EEEEEEEEP!!

“Yeah, Ruhn. It’s okay with me.”

!!!!!

Lord of Lightning, the Oracle had called him.

You remind me of that which was lost long ago. The thunderbirds, hunted to extinction.

Holy gods, his wife had balls.

I'm also shocked

“You lulled me to sleep with a story once. About a witch who turned into a monster.”

The sun was a star, for fuck’s sake—

Lololol
