Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)

by Victoria Aveyard

I’m the greatest weapon of all on a ship full of warriors, and they don’t seem to know it.

“You opened your eyes, Mare. That’s all that matters to me,” Cal says.

😭😭😭😭😭

I am a weapon made of flesh, a sword covered in skin. I was born to kill a king, to end a reign of terror before it can truly begin.

Fire and lightning raised Maven up, and fire and lightning will bring him down.

I cling to Cal, Kilorn, Shade, to saving all the newbloods I can, because I am afraid of waking up to emptiness, to a place where my friends and family are gone and I am nothing but a single bolt of lightning in the blackness of a lonely storm. If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter.

“I told you once that anyone can betray anyone. I know you remember.” Oh, do I remember. “And I say it again. Anyone, anything, can betray anyone. Even your own heart.”

. . Mare, I am very afraid for you. Things have been done to you, things no person should suffer. You’ve seen horrible things, done horrible things, and they will change you. I’m so afraid for what you could be, if given the wrong chance.”

I would give anything to keep these two alive, anything.

😭😭just going to sit here for a while.
