Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You can stop behaving as if she is the weakling and you are the savior.
“Never accept a gift from a Faerie, and if they give you one by force, do not, under any circumstances, thank them for it. It implies gratitude, and that is something they can use to call upon a debt in the future.
“If you suffer, I suffer too. If you bleed, I bleed as well. If you die, then I will follow,”
“Sometimes, it is far easier to see the good in others than it is to see it in ourselves. Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is understand that while we are not perfect, the way we defend ourselves is not an indication of our character but purely of our will to live so that we might do the right thing when given the freedom to do so.”
All it took for evil to flourish was for the good to do nothing.
“Because there is privilege in beauty. There is power in taking away the breath of your enemy so that they never see you ready to slit their throat, too fixated on the curve of your lip.

“You are my reason for every breath. The reason every day I have spent as a prisoner has been worth it. Because it brought me to you.”
“You are always my Goddess, min asteren. I worship at your altar with every breath—every moment of my existence,”
“Not only because you are my mate and the Fates determined we were made for one another, but because I love you. The person you have become is a sight to behold, and I am privileged to stand at your side as you embark on your journey.”
