Kindle Notes & Highlights
Despite the king insisting that the killing of fellow Elites in the arena is frowned upon, it’s no secret that Death itself is a contestant in the Trials. Dying teenagers apparently make things exceptionally more entertaining, and if the Elites won’t do the killing, the king will pull the strings in the arena.

Then, I slowly tear my gaze from his partially exposed chest where the edge of a dark tattoo peeks out behind the folds of his shirt.
TATUAJE
Even with all my training, I’ve never felt so weak, so powerless, so out of control.

He offers me a nod. “I look forward to seeing you at dinner, Paedyn.” I blink at him. “Strange,” I say slowly. “I don’t remember telling you my name.” “Oh, you didn’t need to.” That crooked grin is teasing his lips once again. “I make it my business to know all the pretty girls who save my little brother.”
EEEEEK BROTHER LOVE TRIANGLE?!?!
“And I’m Kai. But you already knew that.”
Eheeehhehe
Oh, but she’s no longer standing there stunned, still, and silent. In one swift movement, she grabs my wrist from under her chin and twists it outward with a jerk, sending a shooting pain up my arm. Then she’s gripping my shirt and shoving me against the wall. Her free hand finds the dagger strapped to my hip and slips it out, settling the sharp blade against my throat.
Hot
This time tomorrow, we’ll be showing off to the Kingdom of Ilya while trying to win their favor. From the little I’ve learned from Ellie, the interviews are how the people choose who they want to support in the Trials. It’s a time for the Elites to display their strength, talk themselves up, and try to earn the people’s votes.
Wht in da hunger games
My gaze wanders back to the boys, tracing the identical dark tattoo swirling just above their hearts. Even from this distance, I can make out Ilya’s symbol of strength etched into their skin.
Tatted? Hot.
“Are you… braiding my hair?” “Why do you sound so surprised?” he asks simply, unaware
This is werid
He never answered my question.

She stills, facing the tree. And then there’s a flash of silver hair as she swivels around, throwing a beautiful jab at my face.
Lol
“Thank you for walking with me.” I pause to give him a small smile over my shoulder. “Now I can say I’ve been escorted by the future king.” I’m stepping through the doorframe when words leave him in a rush. “Yes, and if you’ll let me, I’ll do it again.” I spin around, finding him suddenly right behind me. “What?” His face splits into a smile that seems almost too shy to be worn by a royal. “Miss Gray, will you be my partner to the balls?”
balls lol
Father had a record player, one with a wide golden horn I used to stick my head into as a child.
WHAT YEAR R WE IN?

“Promise me you’ll stay alive long enough to stab me in the back?” I laugh loudly. “That’s been my goal all along, Prince.”
Bruh. I feel like this is foreshadowing
I throw the quiver over my shoulder and cross the bowstring along my chest, saying my goodbyes to the bird still perched in the tree. I heave a sigh and begin, once again, heading toward the water I so desperately need.
SHes literally katness
“Which one of them did this to you?” Her eyes fly open, looking more confused and unsure of herself than I’ve ever seen before. But she recovers quickly, huffing out a shaky laugh.
Eheheeee. Its 11:19pm
Now that I’m not a breath away from death, his appearance and lack of shirt is suddenly extremely distracting.
Bro. If i had a nickle everytime he was shirtless
She feels so familiar in my arms, and I drink in every detail, memorize every movement.

Helpless. Powerless.

“And I’ll save your life again and again, aimlessly hoping you will allow me to stay in it.”
Bruh
“I get to use you to keep me warm.”

“We made a deal, remember? You keep looking at me, and I’ll keep listening to you.”

My slanted, hasty handwriting is scrolled across my palm, relaying a very important message: She said I could touch her when I’m sober.
Eheeheheheheeeee
“Speaking of Kai, I wonder how he is handling this.” “Handling what?” Jax pulls himself over a jagged rock with a grunt before breathlessly saying, “The mountain.” When my expression remains confused, Jax adds, “He hates heights.”

“What do you want to call me?” “I want to call you mine.”
Oh brothers
I grunt in pain. No, growl in pain.

He holds my gaze, looking so hurt, so horrified, so full of hatred. His eyes are so cold that I nearly shiver under his stare. The boy glaring down at me is devoid of every bit of warmth, every bit of charm I’ve come to know. He is cold. He is callous. He is like this because of me. He is his father.
PAE MADE HIM A MONSTER NOOOOO
Powerless.
Dab-less
My breath shudders as I stare at him. It suddenly all makes sense. The attraction. The connection. The familiarity. I was so easily drawn to him because deep down I knew him, recognized him, remembered him. He was familiar to me.
Ok thus is a long-shot

Dab
Three days since I became king.
