Kindle Notes & Highlights
and the very worst thing you could do with Carrion is let him suspect even for a second that you didn’t want him around. You would never be rid of him if you did that.
It’s giving toddler energy
“Brimstone stops the rot. Great! So why do you two look like you’re about to start punching holes in the walls?”
every fire sprite in Yvelia would have to die. Yes. So we’re still fucked. Yes. Gods, I need a drink. I sighed heavily, another bead of sweat dripping from my chin. Yes.
JUSTICE FOR FIRE SPRITES IN FANTASY BOOKS OMG
You have a right to walk the road that stretches out before you. I will not rob you of your path by insisting I carry you.”
Whenever you need me to catch you, I am here, ready and willing.
But I see now that I’ve done you a disservice. You have this… this fucking illusion that life should be easy, that it owes you something, and that’s on me.”
Big sis is not holding back
“A queen should never enter into a political setting feeling stressed, Osha,” I purred. “I’m helping, I promise.”
Feeling less stressed already
Yes, it was primal. Yes, it was petty. No, it was not very progressive of me to want to mark her in this way. I didn’t fucking care.
We don’t care either Kingfisher
You mistake my patience for weakness. For tolerance. But test me further, and you will discover the limit of that patience.”
Queen shit
“My name is Foley Briarstone, and I have come to be of service to my queen.”
I KNEW IT!
Consider a sixth. Only the golden-toothed wolf can be trusted.
This was the one plot point I saw coming
You certainly know how to light a match, he said, amused. Are you having fun yet? No! This is not fun, Fisher. This is fucking stressful!
Stop flirting! I’m busy - Saeris Fane
“It was Malcolm I wouldn’t swear fealty to,” Foley said softly. “I’ll swear it to her.” Well, damn.
“Dancing is like fighting, Osha. It’s also like fucking. And I pride myself on my skills in both of those arenas.”
THIS MALE
But sometimes, if you wanted to… you’re allowed to soften, Saeris. You’re allowed to stop baring your teeth at the world and take a breath. Because I’ve got you.”
“Sit down, Carrion.” A smile slowly began to spread across his face. “You want me to stay. You missed me.”
Besties for the resties
If there’s a look, it’s because I’m horribly distracted by you, and I’m trying to talk about very serious things.”
“Careful, sunshine,” he said, grinning. “The things I could do to you in ten minutes. Whoa, wai—wait! Ow! That hurt! I’m joking, I’m joking! I’m gonna drop my books!”
Not the books!!
The laughter that bubbled out of my mate was scathing and short-lived. “I know,” he said slowly, “that anyone willing to forfeit the lives of their people and tally their loss as collateral damage is no leader. Certainly not the kind of leader that I will ever be—”
I want to be useful here, Saeris. I don’t want to be a burden.”
Aww Hayden
“Why would I when you’re so close to piecing it all together, King Killer? You’ve almost figured it out.”
I still don’t know what he was alluding to here
She had become a part of this world—a part of me—and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
“We don’t torture people,” she said, her tone full of ice. “Carrion tortures me daily,” I muttered.
HAHAHAHHAHAAS
“I shouldn’t tell you this, since you seem blissfully unaware of the power you hold over me, but… I will give you whatever you want, Saeris Fane. Always. No matter what it costs me.”
Is this also foreshadowing…
In an estate full of valuables and riches, it was the books they were saving.
If my house catches on fire: people, pets, and then books
“Carrion, stop talking.” Carrion stopped talking.
I loved these moments
Nothing was allowed to be beautiful in the world without him.
“Imagine loving Kingfisher. Imagine not being able to stop yourself. And then imagine that he couldn’t give a fuck about you, and he took pleasure in hurting you every opportunity that he got. And then imagine selling your soul to the devil so that you could follow him into hell.” I couldn’t tell if he was laughing or crying now. “Willingly! Hah!”
This hurt my heart! Poor Tal!!
“How can I consign myself to another endless dark when I’ve been given back the light?”
“There is one,” I interrupted. Orious’s mouth flapped, his anger over the fact that I’d spoken over his precious king evident. Belikon just sighed. “One what?” “One other who isn’t affected by iron.” “Pray enlighten me. Who—” “Me.” I called the sword, and the sword came.
Saeris is easily becoming one of my top FMCs
Rise, Khydan Graystar Finvarra, in honor of the name you were given at birth! Rise up and fight!”
So we better get the wedding scene in book 3
Onyx had taken one last stuttering breath while she’d been crying. He’d shivered and let out a trembling sigh, and then he’d gone.
Yeah book 3 better be the biggest apology for this
CALLIE
It’s drowning on dry land. It’s the hollow ache of something that you know, from that moment on, will always be missing.
“But with the gift you gave to me, I’m betting I can undo it for a moment.” “You want to undo death?” it said disbelievingly. “I do.”
I don’t know if this was worth it…
“Such blind faith?” “In her? Yes,” Fisher answered.
Khy took longer than I would have liked to answer.
Oh a new nickname already
Run, my heart urged. What in all five hells are you doing, Fane? Fucking run.
Why does her inner voice sound like Carrion?
“The murder of my offspring!”
Oh mommy is pisseedddddd
Well. They shouldn’t have touched you if they’d wanted to live, should they?
That part
“I’ve come for a dragon, as is my right. Summon our father. Tell him I’ve come to make a trade.”
KINDLE FLUNG ACROSS THE ROOM AGAIN
