Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You tried to kill us at Athebyne, sent assassins after me in the fall, and even sicced Varrish on me, and I’m still here. You lost. We’re pardoned. We’re here.”
Honestly whats his damage
the king appointed to take over as commanding general of Basgiath”—he
Thats actually bonkers and the king should be mentally evaluated
“The Senarium may abide by the pardon, but I assure you that you will not get away with altering a stone none of us fully understand—with endangering our kingdom.”
“One of my dragons is among the most powerful on the Continent, and the other is the rarest. I didn’t realize it last year or even a few months ago, but I do now: you can’t afford to kill me.”
BADDIE ALERT
“They’ll pay each and every time you disobey an order or step out of line, starting now.”
i just imagine him as this little man and i hope im accurate
“The fighting there is…rather intense, but surely your signet will keep your squadmates alive,
The fortress should feel familiar thanks to how many times I visited Xaden while he was stationed here
“The biggest wyvern crashed through as the wards came back up, but once our perimeter fell, venin
You are both formidable weapons, but you’re also a giant target.
“He’ll choose you. I know he will. You’re the future queen of Tyrrendor, and your people need you.”
“I need you!” she yells, then gasps and throws herself over me as heat roars against our backs. Wood crackles and breaks, and then the heat changes, coming at us from every direction.
I come awake and jolt upright in bed, gasping for air and blinking off the remnants of the nightmare as sweat drips down the back of my neck.
You know whats funny, in movies this is how we know someone is having a nightmare but never have i ONCE woke up like this from a nightmare lmao
find this painting of my family, but it was weird, and then they were burning.” I sigh. “Which makes sense, considering my mother turned herself into an actual flame.”
OP
“How did you get here?” “It’s not important.” He draws a sword with his left hand.
He’d traveled a thousand miles in minutes, and there’s only one way I’ve read about to accomplish that, but no one has done it in centuries.
She did…what? Lightning?
DIDNT TARIN HAVE SOMEONE BEFORE VIOLET THAT DIED AND HE DIDNT WANT ANOTHER RIDER FOR A LONG ASS TIME IS THIS THAT PERSON? she didnt die but became a venin?!
Blood drains from my face and I throw up my shields, drawing on Andarna’s power.
she can draw on andarna’s power but has no second signet? I’m confused or does this have something to do with runes
Holy Dunne, she wielded lightning. But venin aren’t supposed to have signets…let alone mine.
the red glow around her irises is ten shades brighter than Jack’s. A Sage, probably…maybe even a Maven,
That seems a civil start to our relationship, don’t you think, Violet?”
“I’m Theophanie, by the way. Seems only right that you know my name, seeing as I know everything about you, Violet Sorrengail.”
tf kind of name is theophanie lmao
“Now tell me, which chose you first? The one who gifted you the power of the sky? Or the irid?”
One hasn’t been seen in centuries, and I was so hoping to set…eyes on her.”
“Irid,” Andarna whispers. “Yes. I remember now. That is what my kind are called. I am an irid scorpiontail.”
Sometimes I forget just how short mortal memory can be.” Mortal. As opposed to what? Immortal? How fucking old is she?
Yes Violet what else would she be talking about other than immortal jfc. Smart people actually be dumb as hell sometimes
“He will,” she says in that same infuriatingly certain tone Xaden uses.
hm
Lightning cracks like punctuation, branching through the cloud overhead. She didn’t even have to lift her hands.
I let you live today and choose me, not Berwyn, as your teacher.”
Who tf is Berwyn
“Besides the fact that he’s subpar and you’d be chained to him, powerless to resist his orders?” She sneers in disgust,
“I’ll let you keep both your dragons while giving you what you want most in the world.”
“Control and kno...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
Relief pricks at my eyes, and my vision wobbles. “Do not dehydrate on my account,” he lectures. “It takes more than weather to fell me.” His golden gaze drops to my knee. “Wish I could say the same for you.”
LMAO WHY IS TAIRN ALWAYS SO SASSY
“Yeah, and she called you a leash.” No wonder he’s best friends with Xaden.
Lmao I’m kinda hot for Garrett randomly
Screams sound from the dozen or so cadets who run for the safety of the dormitory wing as Tairn lands in the mud. At least it’s stopped snowing.
He just wants to show off lmao
“What else can you do with those shadows, Lieutenant Riorson?”
HOT lmao
when I reach out mentally, he has me blocked. “You’re angry,” I whisper as
Can he stop blocking her out
“It’s not her fault!” Garrick shouts as he races through the doorway, all but skidding to a stop at the foot of the table. “Oh?” Xaden asks.
Xaden is so fking done lmao
“You disobeyed a direct order?” General Aetos storms into the room,
Oh BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS
“And we’ll do it again.” Ridoc kicks back in his seat, throwing his feet up on the table. “And again, and again.”
Im actually in love w Ridoc!!!! Is he gay or bi
“King Tauri has refused to open our borders.”
Wtf is this guys deal, first he picks Aetos to run basgiath and now he wont open the borders for people to stand a chance?
No. My heart sinks. Xaden won’t be allowed to come and go as he pleases like he did in Aretia, which means we’ll be separated.
What if we just did whaever the fuck we wanted to like we have been…
You might be angry when you realize I didn’t wake you to say goodbye. But it’s only because I no longer fully trust my ability to walk away.
Hi, yeah…i hate this
“Initiates, asims—we’re all traceable to one another, but the great hall could fill with Sages and Mavens and I’d never know. Neither would you.”
I was always sus of Aetos and couple others since the very second book
“Power should be accessible to everyone strong enough to wield it, not just who they see fit. You conveniently see me as the villain, but you’re bonded to two.”
There’s no cure because magic does not negotiate, and we do not wish to be cured.”
“Did you cry for Riorson when they strapped you to the chair and watched your blood fill the cracks between the stones on its way to the drain? I only ask because I swear I can feel it when I lie on the floor—all your pain singing to me like a lullaby.”
I beg ur finest pardon what is this man talking about
Upon failure of three exams, Jesinia Neilwart has been removed from the adept path and stripped of all its responsibilities and sacred privileges as of January 15. Under protest, I transfer her command to Professor Grady at his over-authoritative request.
“Keep talking, and I’ll plant my dagger somewhere that prevents all frog-like activity.”
He rubs the back of his neck. “Do you guys think it’s short for iridescent?” “Yes,” the three of us simultaneously reply.
MEEEEE
“I have seen enough bloodshed,” she signs. “And I can handle the punishment meted out for my desertion of the quadrant.”
I knew Markham would find a way to punish her for choosing Aretia, but never imagined he’d expel his brightest scribe from the path where she’s so desperately needed.
He’s one of the ones I’ve been very sus about for a while now.
