Kindle Notes & Highlights
The only piece visible was a slender, dark metal ring on his right hand.
Nah guys im not well
“She’ll never
be yours.”
“Ferron always comes for me,” she whispered.
Screaming crying throwing up
In another life, you could be a healer.”
GUYS
“Whether you win a battle or lose it, all I see is the cost.”
Yes
Surely I deserve something in return, to warm my cold heart.”
this ring was hand-forged rather than transmutationally crafted; she could see the hammer marks that had beaten a scaled, almost geometric pattern onto it. A bizarre thing for an iron alchemist to have.
“More than once,” he said. “My training was rigorous.”
“Are you wanting a confession? Shall I tell you everything I’ve done?”
“Do you want to?”
“Don’t die, Marino. I might miss you.”
yes sir
“I must admit,” he said in a low voice as though making a confession, “if anyone had told me you’d become so lovely, I would never have come near you. I was rather blindsided when I saw you again.”
“You’re like a rose in a graveyard,” he said, and his lips twisted into a bitter smile. “I wonder what you could have turned into without the war.”
GUYS
“How do I heal this?”
The parallels are crazy you guys
She fluttered her fingers but, catching herself gesturing, folded them in her lap.
“Recovering,” Pace said in a tart voice. “Quite a miracle that she survived. All thanks to the recovery team’s quick thinking and daring rescue.” She cleared her throat. “They’ll all be medalled for bravery, and there were several Ember Services called, to devote prayers of thanks to Sol for his—grace in saving her.”
And of course Helena won’t be recognized in this I’m going to scream
“Don’t die, Kaine,”
“All right, then, but only because you asked.”
Women were always defined by the lowliest thing they could be called.
“Good.” He shifted. “Well, this has been delightful. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve wished someone would lecture me on the systems of the human body.”
Guys im sorry i love him
Maybe you were—a final test for us.”
HUH???
Helena was going insane.
Me too helena
“All right…” he said, “but only because you asked.”
“You could be a healer,”
Crying
“That’s one of the most ironic things anyone has ever said to me,”
Crying harder
“You are not expendable. You don’t get to push everyone away so that they’ll feel comfortable using you and letting you die.”
“Well, thanks to you, I’m worth less now. They added all these new healers after you asked for me. I had to train all my replacements.” She gave a bitter laugh. “You made me as expendable as I am now. And you didn’t even want me, either.”
“You are not replaceable,” he said, his hands trembling against her shoulders. “You are not required to make your death convenient. You are allowed to be important to people. The reason I’m here—the reason I’m doing any of this—is to keep you alive. To keep you safe. That was the deal.” He searched her face. “They didn’t tell you.”
“Don’t worry,” he said quietly. “This won’t complicate anything for you. You wanted someone to be with, and I was available. I know it didn’t mean anything.”
“You’re mine. You swore yourself to me. Now and after the war. I’m going to take care of you. I’m not going to let anyone hurt you. You don’t have to be lonely. Because you’re mine.”
Guys I’m just like really not doing well
“Call me, and I will come.”
He always comes for me 😭
She never had and never would heal anyone the way she healed Kaine: in his arms, pressed against his body.
“You’re mine. I’ll always come for you.”
“I’m going to take care of you. I swear, Helena, I’m always going to take care of you.”
The scene earlier where he said I’m in charge of your care
“I’m going to take care of you. I swear, I’m always going to take care of you.”
“I’m going to take care of you. I promise, I’m always going to take care of you.”
Such a common sickness did not dampen morale, particularly since it was considered primarily an affliction of the poor and unsanitary.
TB mentioned
Someone would come. She could wait until a lorry came back.
“Because I have warned you, if something happens to you, I will personally raze the entire Order of the Eternal Flame. That isn’t a threat, it’s a promise. Consider your survival as much a necessity to the Resistance as Holdfast’s. If you die, I will kill every single one of them. Given that the risk to their lives is the only way to make you value your own.”
His eyes flashed. “Yes, I did all of this for convenience, which you know I have so abundantly in my life with my two mutually exclusive masters.”
I’m tired.”
Of having so little time and never getting to spend it in the ways she wanted.
I love you. I will always love you. I will always take care of you.
“Everyone who wins says they were good, but they’re the ones who tell the story. They get to choose how we all remember it. What if it’s never that simple?
“You’re always in danger, and I can never ask you to stop.”
“Don’t die, Kaine. You can’t leave me behind.”
“Mine. You’re mine,” he said as he kissed her. “Always.”
Sol would provide.
Nah bc when I see sol it’s on sight I swear
Someday, she promised herself, someday I am going to love him in a moment that isn’t stolen.
