Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Yes, in the second tome I pulled.” “Really?” His face lights up. “Absolutely,” she signs, her face completely deadpan.
Oh Ridoc, Honey. She’s fucking with you
“Honestly, I’m appalled with what isn’t in the vault. Thank gods Queen Maraya sent her list
General Cadao’s journal yesterday, and a whole section of pages is ripped out after he notes that there may have been an outside isle supporting the second Krovlan uprising.”
“Hard to access like we need Dain to betray his father.” Which is highly unlikely.
Theres no way he still supports dear ol dad
“I think our relationship just ended.”
Wtf why are we picking and choosing what rules we foLlow btw
“Wait. You two broke up?” Bodhi’s voice rises. “Yes,” I answer. “No,” Xaden says at the same time, glaring at his cousin,
Seriously violet
“Don’t blame me. I didn’t write the Code.” Dain backs into the hall with his hands up. “Nor did I accept the job.” Xaden tenses.
Why can i see Dain saying this and then sprinting in the other direction to avoid Xaden murdering him
“I made myself a promise that I would do anything to save you, to cure you, so if that means we can’t be—”
Tf does this have to do with anything
“We live by the Codex—” I try again. “I live by you. When have I ever given a fuck about the Codex or the Code of Conduct?”
ON GOD THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING
on the grounds that this is a previously existing relationship and the post is temporary.” “Denied,” Aetos responds without sparing a second.
Hes literally so obsessed their relationship its so fking weird
“Just so you know who to hate,” I say over my shoulder once I’m in the hall, “Xaden didn’t kill Varrish. I did.”
BADDIEEEE
“And my father is clearly just…beyond help in general.”
WE STAN DAIN
“He’ll be in Calldyr next weekend.” Dain nods as if making a choice. “We’ll get your father’s research then.”
“Is this what I can expect, Lieutenant Riorson?” Grady asks, color rising in his neck. “You pulling title into military matters?
When its necessary YES
“Depends on how those matters are handled,” Xaden threatens,
FACTS
The hair rises on the back of my neck. There’s a flash of something…cold in his eyes, but it’s gone with a single blink. Huh.
ummmmm
“You and I are going to have problems,” Captain Grady warns. “Probably.” Xaden nods.
Who tf is Grady anyway
“Where would your dragon like to search?” “Cadet Sorrengail isn’t in charge,” Aura interrupts.
THIS IS SO DUMB BC SHE IS AND THE FACT THAT SHES ALLOWED THIS TO GO THIS FAR IS CRAZY
“Records of the second Krovlan uprising have been ripped out of General Cadao’s journal, and Jesinia thinks an officer hinted that an isle kingdom was involved hundreds of years after we severed contact.
“Exactly. Dragons mentioned with isles tells me we should look south.”
If he’d wanted Aetos or Markham to have it, he would have left the information in his Archives office.”
“Aside from already provided logic, Deverelli requires too high a price for an audience. South is not an option,”
They don't want Vi to find the seventh dragon kind I just don't think and it smells like Aetos stench all over these choices, like to have a squad that doesn't full of people who don't even like Violet or the "rebellion" is an intended choice
Fuck. Every bone in my body says to fly south.
but Aura Beinhaven waits at the door like a nursemaid, her brow arched as I gather my things. “Yes, Aura?” I ask as I close my pack.
DONT LET THE DOOR HIT U ON THR WAY OUT BITCH
“Just waiting to escort you back to the quadrant.” She looks pointedly at Xaden. “Wouldn’t want you getting in trouble or doing something I’d have to report to General Aetos,
Omgggg i hate her, how is she worse than book 1 Dain
“Great.” I force a smile and the shadow slips from my thigh as I walk past Xaden, keeping even my eyes to myself so she doesn’t have anything to report.
Why dont we just threaten her and then have imogen wipe her memories
At least until we go northward.
Why arent we fighting harder for south trip though? This isn’t really something to be passive about if you really think they’re south, tf?
He doesn’t so much as pause his ascent. “Because you’re the only one capable of killing me.”
Duh she can sense him so she can spot his intentions so he cant out intention her
“Because your lives are connected.” She tilts her head, like she’s trying to understand. “Because he’d never hurt me.”
“The magic builds up and we kind of…explode.” Ridoc makes the correlating motion with his hands.
I dont get that, i thought the magic came from the dragons
“All right.” I push away from the table, leaving behind my lemonade,
My girl still drinkin lemonade i see
but I fear my death will fail you. Your mother and I trust no one, and neither can you.
“Anyway, Jesinia said to tell you that two of the tomes were her selection and the other was passed along to her from leadership first thing this morning.”
Dain. A smile spreads across my face. Not only did he come through, but he did it in a way that no one potentially watching either of us would suspect.
I wish everyone would trust him, especially after this
“Me too.” But I can’t ignore the little voice of intuition insisting we should head south.
Not sure why you are being so compliant all of a sudden
It’s a six-letter lock,
"violet" is six letters but hopefully ur dad isn't that dumb to make that the code though
First love is irreplaceable.
Violet ur smart enough for riddles
“Fine, who’s Mira’s first love?” Rhi asks,
I dont think its a person personally
I narrow my eyes. “Six.” He lifts two sandy-brown eyebrows. “I mean…it fits.”
Uhh why would that be the answer tho
“Anyone who’s ever dated a rider knows their first priority—their first love—is their dragon. Once you accept that, another man hardly feels like a challenge.”
I thought maybe it was dragon but her dad was an archivist wasn't he? So i wasn't sure plus i thought dragon had more than six for some reason lmao
Shadows blast straight through the wards and hit Halden in the chest like a battering ram, sending the crown prince of Navarre flying backward—straight into the rock wall. Shit.
DAMN XADEN CHILL HES ROYALTY!! Oh god he's crown prince too XADEN THAT WAS BAD
I cannot imagine sustainable life beyond the Emerald Sea. No ship has ever survived the tempests that form its ice-tipped waves, and the only sailors who return from her exploration do so defeated.
Maybe its where the Gods live like Elusium or hower its spelled
A-I-M-S-I-R. An hour later, I’m still seething as I sit with Rhi on my bed,
Oh i thought it would just be the word dragon
remember what I taught you about history: it is simply a collection of stories, each influenced by those that happened before and steering the ones to come. I wrote this study so it could be read by others but understood by you.
then abandon your robes and ride for Cordyn. You have always struggled with Krovlish, but I made sure Dain would be capable should you need him…should
and quietly seek the merchant Narelle Anselm. Take her the rarest item you possess—be sure it’s truly
“I’m jealous of the armor that holds you when I can’t, the sheets on your bed that caress your skin every night, and the blades that feel your hands.
DAYUM
The gem given to you upon graduation from Cliffsbane should always be worn close to the heart, but if you have not mastered your control, it will only amplify your downfall.
I have no desire to test the three-to-four-day limit that riders and their dragons can be apart, nor to suffer the fatal consequences.
I didn't know this
“What fucking dynamic?” I ask Xaden. “I loathe Aura, don’t really trust Grady after he fed us the serum during RSC training, and don’t know the rest of them.”
I cant for the life of me remember who Grady is
