Kindle Notes & Highlights
Miriam, she saw, was the ray of sunlight that pierced through Rosa’s gloom.
They're gay I'm calling it now
Miriam did not answer. She was busy watching the royal couple with a strange, wistful glint in her eyes. She exchanged a look with Niamh before hurriedly glancing away.
Gay.
As he drank her in, his eyes darkened.
Please tell me y'all aren't making out with your eyes open
“Whatever they have written today,” Niamh blurted out, “I swear to you, it isn’t true.”
Me when I'm an idiot
“Do not lie to me.”
My queen I love you
“I … I could not do such a thing to you.”
As if she wasn't considering it literally 10 pages ago
Do you intend to follow your brother’s example? To ignore your problems until they grow big enough to crush you?”
Oop. Clock him
leaving her bereft.
And reeling?
How much trouble could writing a letter really cause?
I'm gonna shoot you
Unless, of course, she could prove it.
So that Sophia gets hanged instead
“Do you happen to know where Kit’s room is?”
Why would she know that she's been in this country as long as you have and she doesn't even live in the palace
“I’m coming with you.
Blud aren't you supposed to be at dinner with your fiance's family
I am inelegant and silly and—and I will make a mess of everything.
You're getting shot. that is not why y'all can't be together and you know it
“I swear,
I swaer. i swaer
I told him nothing about you. Only that you supported the Machlish.”
Girl i told you you were an idiot for writing back
You throw yourself into work just so you don’t have to look too closely at yourself.”
Have we ever considered that maybe she's making multiple intricate pieces of clothing for a royal wedding and maybe that takes a lot of time and energy????
I’m going to kill Sinclair.”
Yeah and did
Kit was a good six inches shorter than Sinclair,
How short is he
“Because I thought you were just like me,” Sinclair rasped. “Empty inside.”
I'm so brocken and empty inside:(
you're joking
She wanted Rosa to hate it.
I want rosa to hate you ;p
“Go. If the prince regent asks about you, I will come up with something to tell him.”
Sophia my queen. I can treat you so much better than him. Murder him and run away with me
“It’s only the most important day of a man’s life. His last day of freedom!”
Why didn't kit kill you again?
“How can I possibly live for my own happiness, when I have so little of it left?
How many times have i shot you so far? Add another for this pick me behavior
But it was only a black cat, trotting busily past her.
New fav character alert
A plan, taken root on the balcony, began to blossom in the dark of the carriage. A stupid, impossible plan—but a plan all the same.
Guys please trust this random tailor who has never once been involved in politics or court life before a few months ago. I think she may just save the kingdom from bankrupcy, protect it from rosa's dad after he realizes what's been going on, protect jack from parliment's wrath, fix jack and kit's relationship, and win kit back over. And don't even ask to help bc only she can save everything
rivulet
Rivulets descend my plastic smile
An invisible thread looped the two of them together. Love.
Isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me
but girl. duhhhhhhhh you're literally blind
Today, she could lose Kit forever.
It's honestly hard for me to even care at this point
bereft.
And reeling, once again
“I do. I object.”
Speak now king
To the death,”
To the pain
I am a coward and a masochist.
I'm positive Naimh doesn't know what the word masochist means
the only plan I could come up with,”
Why is everyone's first thought some intricate plan for everyone else's life before communicting how they feel even a little bit
Miriam leaned over the barrier between them and took Rosa’s face in her hands. She kissed her,
Mind you, naimh is sitting directly next to rosa
The horse was ready to run. Good, Niamh thought. So was she. Niamh threaded her fingers into the mare’s intricately braided mane to steady herself, and her horse followed hot behind Rosa’s.
This is the same girl who was uneasy on the calmest horse they had a few weeks ago and hasn't been on a horse since btw
water streamed down her face in rivulets.
They descended her plastic smile
in her ruined wedding dress.
This is truly the most tragic thing that's happened so far
So she was a young lady in his book again.
Wow that is so believable and definitely how i expect him to react and not at all poor writing trying to speed through the resolution of this conflict
I cannot stop you.”
This is not the same man that has been controlling kit for the entirety of this book
he's been lobotimized
“You might as well call me Jack,”
Who is this?????? I'm dead
Her slippers squelched in the mud and wet grass, but she couldn’t bring herself to care. The silk was too far gone to be saved,
This is the stuff we really need to be worried about!!!
that and figuring out who lobotimized jack
This is all my fault.”
!!!!!
“I have humiliated you and your family in front of the entire court.
And jack didn't care at all. That should worry you
“I’m all thorns.”
I cannot take you seriously when everything you say is a plant pun
I think you’re more like a weed.”
STOP IT
“You’re like … a flower. Too delicate for this world.”
She's too delicate for the bullets heading your way too
I will carry you with me forever.”
He's carrying her love with him
Not an hour later, in the Cathedral of Saint John, they were married.
Didn't even wanna invite your mom and grandma???? Just got married like that in your muddy clothes???? As a tailor this is deserving of jail time
