Kindle Notes & Highlights
This was not his body; this was a young woman whose limbs he could not easily control, an attempt to stand sending him stumbling to the ground.
The fuck is he is Katherine’s body bc she touched the sword
He wanted to tell her again how glad he was to see her, that she was his star in the night.
“I didn’t think Marcus would kill the horses.”
Visander took him by the throat. “Do not touch me, human.”
I love this dude
“Do not presume that because this body is weak I will not kill you if you touch me again,” said Visander.
“Violet!” screamed Cyprian, throwing himself down from his horse and running for the gate.
Visander reached out to touch him. “My steed, I—” “Don’t,” said Devon. “I am not that young colt I was.
This is the funniest conversation I’ve ever read in my life
Will felt James’s hand come to rest on the back of his neck, fingers curling into his hair, a possessive gesture unmistakable in its meaning. “This one stays with me.”
“Violet?” She stared at him. He took a step closer. “Violet—!”
The fuck is that her brother
Had Anharion exhaled here for the last time, only to have his breath sealed up? Was that what now filled his lungs?
“But what is death,” said Kettering, “to one who can return?”
“I thought it would be hard,” said Will. “But it’s not, is it?”
He said, “Violet?”
OH !!!!!!
Katherine picked up the apple knife from the table and jammed it into Redlan George’s throat.
oh 😯
“And what is your name?” she said. “Will,” said a voice. A hand on his shoulder, shaking him. Will opened his eyes.
I’d kill to see the sequence in live action
“It’s the same for me. You’re powerful . . . more powerful than anything I’ve felt. I can’t look away.” James said, “I could close my eyes and know you.”
“She came here three times,” said Polly, “to give birth.”
Three ????????????
“Someone I believe could save this place.” And then, so quietly Will almost didn’t hear, “Someone I believe could save me.”
😭😭
At first it didn’t seem as if Mrs. Thomas would answer. And then: “She had an abnormal relationship to that boy.” “Boy?” Will. Will had been here? Elizabeth felt the hairs on her arms prickle. “Kept him locked up. Six or seven, he would have been,” said Mrs. Thomas. “A well-behaved little lad. She treated him like a criminal. Tied him up to the bedpost. And the way she’d look at him, like . . .”
“If you knew it was a trap, why did you come?” She sounded like it hurt her, and maybe it did. He said, “You called for me.”
If you knew what I was, Will thought, feeling an echo of Sarcean’s anger, you would never dare challenge me, beneath my very throne.
she knew by now words didn’t help, and that when things were broken they never really got mended. You just went on. You just went on as best as you knew how.
“WE HAVE TO stop Sinclair before he gets here,” Will said.
The fact that you’ve been saying this for 200 pages is wild but go off I guess
Will couldn’t help the acquisitive sound in his voice. “You stayed faithful to him.” To me.
“Take what was his. Prove you’re not afraid. And that nor am I. We have the night,” said James. “One night, before the end of the world.”
👀
“I—” James didn’t answer, just said, “I want to be yours, not his.” They were moving toward one another again, that cliff edge drawing closer. “I want that too.” “Kiss me,” said James.
AAHHHHHHH
“He tried to kill Will!” said Violet. Elizabeth said, “Will is the Dark King.”
“I drink from the Cup,” said Cyprian.
Oh Jesus Christ come on kid
“Cyprian—” she said. “Kill me,” said Cyprian. “As soon as I come out. I don’t want to be like my brother.” “Cyprian—” “Promise me.” “I won’t promise that.”
“You see? I do know what a kiss is,” said Cyprian.
😭😭😭
The Collar clicked closed. Try to run.
😬😬😬😬😬
“It’s been a long time,” said Sarcean, “since we dallied in the sun, Visander.” For the Queen’s last defender was the same Sun Guard who had freed him from the oubliette. Sandy, Sarcean had nicknamed him then, amusing himself. A trifling, easy to fool.
OH ?!
“I said, we don’t have time,” said Will, and every man in the chamber said it with him in deadened uniformity.
go OFF !!!!
James said to Will, “Darling, I’m not here to kill you.” James only had to gesture once, and Visander went flying backward, hitting a pillar and then the floor, his body slumped and slack. Cyprian took a step forward, and James merely glanced at him, and sent Cyprian careening across the floor. Will was staring at James in shock. James looked down at Will and held out his hand. “Well?” “He’s the Dark King,” said Violet. “And I’m his lieutenant,” said James, “here to fight by his side.”
BET
the gleaming rubies of the Collar looked like a slit throat. “My King?” said James.
“Sarcean. I remember everything.”
