Kindle Notes & Highlights
You and I know very well she has no love for my family. So perhaps your intent is to humiliate her.” He paused, and she could have sworn his eyes fell on her face. “But I think she’s had enough of that.” He stopped for another moment, then asked: “Don’t you have a meeting with Endovier’s treasurer? I wouldn’t want you to be late, especially when you came all this way to meet with him.”
TOG - The first glimpse into the kind of man Dorian is. i am already crying.
Now there was nothing left for her there, nor would there ever be.
TOG - Eeeeeeeek
Small white flowers lay at the foot of her cot, and many infant-sized footprints led in and out of the tent.
TOG - cutest
a lovely girl gazing at the stars, and the stars who gazed back.
TOG - my loves
Most affectionately, Dorian Havilliard

“You look rather pretty today,” was all he said before the doors opened and they walked forward. Celaena raised her chin as they entered the crowded room.
TOG - Who gave Chaol the right to make me kick my feet
“I don’t believe in keeping slaves.”
TOG - Queen
Just because she’d left Endovier didn’t mean Endovier had ceased to be.
TOG - Crying
“You’ve got impressive aim.” “For a girl?” she challenged. “No,” he said, and threw another dagger. “For anyone.”

“May Deanna, the Huntress and Protector of the Young, bless and keep you this year. I bestow upon you this golden arrow as a symbol of her power and good graces.” The girl bowed as she extended the slender arrow. Chaol prodded her back and Celaena grabbed the arrow. “Yulemas blessings to you,”
TOG - I will scream
“I’m not interested in court ladies,” he said thickly, and kissed her.
TOG - DoRIAN PLEASE
In the garden, the Captain of the Guard stared up at the young woman’s balcony,
TOG - My heart hurts for Chaol a little but thats creepyyyy
“I name you Elentiya.” She kissed the assassin’s brow. “I give you this name to use with honor, to use when other names grow too heavy. I name you Elentiya, ‘Spirit That Could Not Be Broken.’ ” Celaena
TOG - Nehemia deserves everything
“No matter what happens,” she said quietly, “I want to thank you.” Chaol tilted his head to the side. “For what?” Her eyes stung, but she blamed it on the fierce wind and blinked away the dampness. “For making my freedom mean something.”
TOG - Bro im sobbing
“What was it like when you woke up between your parents, covered in their blood?”
TOG - A clue! Cain is a big man using this line. This is breaking my little heart
Without thinking, without understanding, Chaol leapt between them and plunged his sword through Cain’s heart. Blood erupted everywhere, showering Chaol’s arms, his head, his clothes. The blood reeked, somehow, of death and decay. Cain fell, hitting the ground hard.
TOG - Thats love baby
“What have I done?”
TOG - he needs a hug
“Poison?” Perrington asked, so loud Kaltain’s eyes grew wide. “You poisoned her? Why would you do that?”
TOG - SNEAKY
“You could rattle the stars,” she whispered. “You could do anything, if you only dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”
TOG - Rattle the StArS
“No,” she said quietly. “I just want you to leave me alone.”
SAVAGE
Kaltain wrapped Celaena’s cloak around herself. “Something is coming,” she whispered. “And I am to greet it.”
COM - KALTAIN I’m sobbing
there’s a group that’s formed, right here in Rifthold, and they want to put Aelin Galathynius back on Terrasen’s throne.” Her heart stopped beating. Aelin Galathynius, the lost heir of Terrasen.
COM - the scream I let out
“Aelin Galathynius is dead,” she breathed.
COM- DEAD
“They don’t think so. They say she’s alive, and that she’s raising an army against the king. She’s looking to reestablish her court, to find what’s left of King Orlon’s inner circle.”
COM - In a re read it’s so obvious omfg
“Believe me, Celaena,” he snarled, his eyes flashing, “I know you can look after yourself. But I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn’t, but I do. So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care what happens.” She blinked. “Oh,”
COM - Chaol pls
“Chaol,” she moaned, seeking that familiar face again. But he was already running, smashing through his office. He bellowed her name as her knees buckled and she fell. She saw only the golden brown of his eyes and held on long enough to whisper, “Gloriella,” before everything tilted and went black.
COM - I am such a sucker for this. Yes babe go to him in your drugged state because it’s where you feel safe xoxoxoxo
Celaena didn’t know when she began crying. Somehow she skipped a breath, and it set her lips wobbling. She shouldn’t cry, not here, not with these people around her. But then a warm, calloused hand grasped hers beneath the table, and she turned her head to find Chaol looking at her. He smiled slightly—and she knew he understood. So Celaena looked at her Captain of the Guard and smiled back.
COM- kicking my feet and throwing up tbh
So Dorian closed his eyes, and took another long breath. And when he opened his eyes, he let her go.
COM - Sweetest boy
Rena Goldsmith was still reciting her list of the dead when the ax fell.
COM - awful. I hate the king
“Dance with me,” he said, and held out his hand to her.
COM - stop it I’ll faint
“Dance with me, Celaena,” he said again, his voice rough.
COM - EEEEEEEEKEKEKEKKEEKKKKKEEEEEEE
“I’ve already decided to move on,” Dorian said
COM - sweet boy
“For you, I’d say that chocolate cake is most definitely a need.”
COM - same
If the heir of Terrasen, Aelin Galathynius, had lived, would she have become a friend, an ally? His bride, perhaps?
COM - OH DEAR
as fate would have it, her cousin wound up becoming Aedion Ashryver, his father’s prodigy general and the fiercest warrior in the north. He’d met Aedion a few times over the years, and at each encounter with the haughty young general, he’d gotten the distinct impression that Aedion wanted to kill him. And with good reason.
COM - oop
“No one has ever done anything like this for me.” He shook his head in awe, looking back at the greenhouse. “No one.”

“You will never be my friend. You will always be my enemy.”

He had lost her. And she would never, in a thousand lifetimes, let him in again.
COM - honstly tho i would (and do) hate him for his actions as well
it was like a phantom arm reached out from within him and wrapped around her wrist. He could feel her blood-crusted skin, as if he himself were touching her.
COM - daddy phantom hands
“But I once heard that in the high court of Terrasen, when the nobility died, they sang their laments in the language of the Fae.” Chaol’s blood froze and he almost tripped, but he managed to keep walking and say, “Would these songs have been known by everyone—not just the nobility?”
COM - goosebumps
“Nameless is my price,”
COM - crying
Celaena was Fae.
COM - KINGGGGG
“I think that we should send the King’s Champion to Wendlyn to dispatch the royal family.”
COM - YES SEND HER TO WENDLYN
Because in the shadows of the Ferian Gap, he’d been breeding new mounts for his gathering armies. And his wyverns still needed riders.
