Kindle Notes & Highlights
Master Tibit rummaged through a small chest in the corner of the chamber, where Gideon noticed a short stand with a book resting on top, protected by a glass box. “Ah, I see you’ve noticed the Elder Book.”
How did he notice this? Isn't he doing something else?
“You realise everyone else in our year has already sent out their applications for positions in several courts across Illian. You wait until we need to pay for our first meal or a roof over our head...”
Feels anachronistic. This is essentially medieval times. Who sends applications? Also, are powerful mages so common that there are kingdoms who are turning away powerful mages?
As always, he felt comfortable at such heights, surveying the land around him from a safe distance. His elven eyes and ears made such a lofty vantage an easy way to spy on the less evolved humans.
This was a pretty clear moment for me when I realized: Oh, this is what the rest of the book is going to be like.
The fine blade cut through each of the men, opening their throats in one smooth motion.
Seems a tad unrealistic, even in the context of the story. Power levels seem to really fluctuate depending on what the author needs to happen in that moment.
The princess sped up, giving Nathaniel a genuine smile she often reserved for her time in The Amara when she enjoyed the freedom of running through the forest.
Meh. So many better ways to say this. Another example of me getting bored from just being told about the person.
She took a slow breath as she drew back on the bowstring, anchoring the arrow and settling on her target. Releasing the arrow was the most satisfying feeling she knew. The intended deer skidded to the ground with an arrow protruding from the back of its head.
I don't hunt, but I'm pretty sure the head is almost never the target while hunting. The skull is a pretty thick bone. Would this even work?
Nightfall... Reyna had heard about the mysterious guild of assassins during their preparations. What was Asher’s connection? The princess dared to steal another glimpse over Faylen’s sleeping form. Something about the old ranger didn’t sit right with her.
Confusing?
The power bestowed on them by Valanis had altered their appearance, enriching their eyes with an unattainable blue.
Except, of course, for when it clearly is.
