Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’ve worn a crown my entire life, but I’m finally going to wield it.
I actually feel quite sorry for this bitch
I swipe the cloth over my arm, only to pause when I see a streak of red stained into the cloth. I stare at it, knowing it’s blood, knowing that it’s Sail’s.
STOP! MENTIONING! SAIL! IT! HURTS! MY! HEART!
Without saying a word, he turns and walks out, the curved spike between his shoulder blades nearly catching on the flap as he goes.
We stan a respectful king
Hojat blinks. “But I... No. My lady, I am a mender.”
He sent her a mender 🥺🥺
Life takes you on paths you don’t have a map for.
I absolutely hear this one

It’s obvious that King Midas transferred some of his powers to you when he gold-touched you, and he doesn’t want anyone to know,” she says quietly, making my heart stop.
Well shiiiiiiiiiiiiit I don’t think that’s the answer guys and gals

She tilts her head, wheels churning, mind working. “You want my silence?” “Yes,” I say emphatically. Something flashes in her eyes—like the glint a fish sees right before they swallow the hook. “Fine. But I want gold.”
I mean… I get it… but still… bitch
“I bet it’s not even true,” I spit. “You made Hojat tell me that, didn’t you?” “Powerful as I am, I don’t have enough bribes in the world to make Hojat lie. My mender is infuriatingly honest at times.”
I love Hojat
Rip tilts his head. “Your anger is misplaced, but I like it,” he says with a feral grin, sharp canines gleaming.
Okay but why is this hot

Before Mustard can land another hit, I stalk forward and enter the fighting circle. Without hesitation, I implant myself in front of Twig, facing down the soldier with a furious glare.
I just love her man
Nobody ever intervened on my behalf, no matter how hard I wished someone would.
I feel this on a soul deep level
“Because those soldiers were meant to serve as your protection, and they failed,” he says evenly, all amusement gone from his expression, the shadows seeming suddenly darker over his face. “They don’t deserve for you to visit them.”
Ohhhhhhh here’s the protectiveness I love
The pain of not finding Digby’s face in the group is a punch to the gut.
WHERE THE FUCK IS DIGBY
“You need to stop coming here,” Polly says haughtily. “We don’t like you, and we don’t want you poking your nose in our business just for you to report back to your new Fourth army friends.”
I’m so sick of this shit I feel so bad for her they all suck
He knows what I did, and yet...he still kissed me.
Ugh I love him
His voice drops. “You don’t have to go back. I could make it so that you could stay.”
DON’T GO BACK!
In the next instant, I’m racing forward to close the distance between us, because I can’t bear to not be in his arms for a second longer. But right before I fling my arms around his neck, his hands come out to stop me, grasping my upper arms to hold me still.
What an anticlimactic reunion
He cuts me off. “I don’t have time for this. Get into the cage.”
Oh my GOD who is this guy
He pins me with a fiery glare. “I don’t know what the hell is going on with you, but you’re not in charge, Auren. I’m your king, remember? You will do as I say.”
Snap his neck with your ribbons Auren!
My eyes flick up. “I changed my mind.” Midas levels a flat look at me. “I didn’t give you permission to change your mind.”
He just gets worse!
“Alright. You’re tired and hysterical. You just need to go lie down. This isn’t you, Auren.”
Oh this is the equivalent of “are you on your period?” How infuriating
I’ve been bending over backwards for so long that I forgot I even had a spine.
YES! Finally!
He hesitates a moment and then says, “I love you, but I don’t need your forgiveness, Precious. I just need your power.”
Right. He needs to go.
