A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #4)

by Sarah J. Maas

In the beginning, and in the end, there was Darkness and nothing more.

Her vision blurred, and her eyes stung as if they had been sliced—cleaved open to allow the tears to pass. She made it to the stones before she fell to her knees, so hard the rock bit into her bones. Was she worth being counted?

I love Nesta. Whole time this girl just needed to cry. Yes girl you are worth being counted! I just want to be her friend and give her a hug. Finally glad to have gotten to the point where she breaks down and starts letting everything out because I knew this girl was not a bitch for no reason.

“Forgiveness is something we also grant ourselves. And I can talk to you until these mountains crumble around us, but if you don’t wish to be forgiven, if you don’t want to stop feeling this way … it won’t happen.”

I love Cassian. I just love him. The fact that he, not only stuck by Nesta's side through everything, but gave her the love and understanding SHE NEEDED. He was the only one who could get through to her and he never gave up.

Cassian held her on the shores of the lake until the sun set, until the moon rose, and they remained there, listening to each other breathe, as if the world had been flooded by her tears, as if they were both waiting to see what emerged once the floodwaters receded.

In the moonlight, before the silvered lake, she was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

I hope this scene makes it to the big screen one day because the way this whole entire trek through the mountains, and then finally the silver moonlight on the lake played out in my head... it was just gorgeous and needs to be out there in the world. I might not see it for 4 or 5 years but I need to see it eventually lol.

“You lead, I’ll follow.” “What if my presence would go unnoticed, but yours sets off a trap? We can’t risk that.” His throat bobbed. “I can’t risk you.” The words slammed into her heart. “I … You can. You have to.”

Not I CAN'T RISK YOUUUUUUU
