Kindle Notes & Highlights
my brother gave me a long, miserable look, and I saw in his eyes what he was planning to do next: the idiot was going to run.
Hes been living on the streets too long to be this stupid
“It was the Fae, wasn’t it?” she hissed. “They’ve found a way through. They’ve come for me at last?”
Obviously there are fae but like… she do be sounding crazy
The banished Fae can’t return so long as all remains the same here, you see.
“Don’t presume to know which way my moral compass points, girl.”
I mean... I think the compass is broken ngl
cliff notes,
Uh… cliff notes? In a world without indoor plumbing? Just casually dropping a brand name?
Oshellith is a type of butterfly,” he called as he went. “Osha for short. They hatch, live, and die all in one day. The cold kills them very fast.
“Careful, human. We Fae have an excellent sense of smell. You’d be amazed what we can scent floating on the air.”
“This… is a learning experience, I think. There are always consequences to our actions. Your new furry bracelet is a consequence of human weakness. Wear it with pride.”
“Pants and a shirt,” I said dryly. “And a pair of boots with really good soles. Do you have any idea what those boots cost me?” “Let me guess. Your virginity.” “Fuck you, Fisher.” “Sure.” He smirked. “But I’m afraid I don’t have any new boots to trade you for your time.”
“I’ve fucked plenty of humans,” he whispered. “Does that surprise you?”
Do we have to write every MMC like this?
“Mm, of course. You’re so eager to get back to that awful city.” Kingfisher turned a corner and then halted abruptly, opening a door to his left. “Back to all that oppression and starvation. I can really see the appeal.”
He has a point
“Malcolm’s a high Fae vampire. The very first. We were cursed thousands of years ago, and the Fae turned into something very like Malcolm. When a cure was found, my great-grandfather and most of the other Yvelian Fae took it. They were horrified by the monsters they’d become and wanted to return to their old lives. But there were those who liked the dark magic the curse afforded them. They liked the power and the promise of immortality.”
I won't accept vampire slander
“Because she is moonlight. The mist that shrouds the mountains. The bite of electricity in the air before a storm. The smoke that rolls across a battlefield before the killing starts. You have no idea what she is. What she could be. You should call her Majesty.”
“Said he was going to see Te Léna.” Te Léna? The sweet healer had taken such excellent care of me after the vampire attack, but I hadn’t thought much about her since. Only, this was the second time Fisher had gone to see her recently, and neither time he’d been injured.
I know its nothing but damn do i want her to bring it up
“Something I’m sure I’ve given him innumerable reasons to regret since. He made me his brother. By blood. He gave me a part of his soul.”
I feel like the same is going to happen to Saeris so they can stay together (or vice versa). It's giving foreshadowing
But if he dies first, he’s condemned to wait here for me to die before he can move on. He’d be trapped here, in a non-corporeal state, unable to touch anything or anyone. Unable to be heard. That’s the sacrifice he made when he decided
So like, what if this is how Madra is alive? She has a piece of a fae's soul. Maybe she even killed the fae
“But there are things you don’t understand. Things that make it impossible for me—”
Then TELL HER. I hate this trope
spoke of many hours spent familiarizing himself with the female body.
Am i the only one who lowkey hates this trope? Men having all this experience and the FMC being fine with it but also viscerally jealous of any woman he spends time with is super contradictory.
“I always know where you are, Little Osha.”
“I was wrong, y’know. You are a good thief.” “What have I stolen?”
YOU STOLE HIS HEART
She is the dawn. She is the moon. She is the sky. She is oxygen in our lungs.
“And if you should find soul sundered from flesh, order a drink for us at the first tavern you come across in the afterlife. We’ll settle the tab when we get there.”
“Don’t you dare die on my watch, Saeris Fane! Fisher will never forgive me if his sole reason for living is torn to pieces on her first fucking battlefield.”

Lord of Midnight… lol I'm sorry, but this is cringe
