Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m not sure I want to be a Cobalt these days, and even the thought feels sacrilege. My family is my everything. But I never prepared to be hurt by the people I love. By two Cobalts. By my parents.
See? This started out hopeful (in that sacrilege is the only way one should feel about not wanting to be a Cobalt). BUT THEN... the exposition. Don't tell me about the conflict, SHOW me the conversations.
Cobalts are a tornadic force you don’t want to fuck with. Out of the three famous families, they have the most power and can wield it with the snap of a finger. Should I be afraid?
Yes.
Charlie Cobalt? He’s a wild card. Could be helpful, could be antagonistic. Could be something that I’ve never confronted before.
Charlie's storyline going forward is so blatantly obvious, and I pray these authors do him justice.
And Rose Calloway Cobalt, my mom—she’s taught me how to walk into a room full of men and never back down. She’s taught me familial love. And loyalty. She’s taught me how femininity is everything and anything. Harsh and icy. Soft and stiff. Boisterous and unruly. Timid and unrelenting. Oxymorons and complements and conundrums that no one needs to understand.
Queen Rose.
One more minute of this shit, and I will. “Sadistic.” Charlie nods slowly. “You want to see sadistic?” He addresses the room. “Just so everyone is aware—this isn’t Banks Moretti.” He points at me. I’m rigid. “NO!” Jane screams bloody murder. “Charlie!”
I love that Charlie has Connor's brilliant mind with Rose's fiery emotion and drama (all the drama hahaha). PLEASE DO NOT DO HIM DIRTY.
“Many people need me, but there are only a handful that I’d drop everything for—and you’re now among them.” He cocked a single brow. “Just so you understand: you rank higher than security, and I would lie for you, if needed.” He’d lie for me. That knowledge still whirls my head. “Lastly,” Connor said, “don’t apologize for trying to deceive me, but I will accept an apology for failing.”
"don’t apologize for trying to deceive me, but I will accept an apology for failing" yes I'm requoting the quote because Connor mf Cobalt
