Kindle Notes & Highlights
Book characters were dangerously attractive in the safest way. You didn’t even know what they looked like, but you knew you liked it.
Finding a favourite character was discovering a soul made of words that spoke to your own.
Jewels were for survivors. Rae’s mother had given Alice her great-grandmother’s pearls, not Rae. Alice looked better in them. Alice might have children to pass them down to. Half the value of jewels lay in their meaning. Real treasure held a story, and stories were for heroes.
Revenge was a fantasy as beautiful as true love.
“You’re full of surprises. Like a magic trick in the shape of a woman.”
“Drinking’s not illegal. If swagger was against the law, I’d already be doing life.”
The Emperor was always Key.
