Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’ll have it taken care of by then,” Jaya assured him. “They can help clean up.”
That is Hilo's daughter
She never used her family name as a weapon but she did not need to; everyone murmured that she was her father’s daughter.
Yup. She is going to be Niko's Horn someday
“I can overlook an insult, but not when it’s against my parents. Jio Somusen, Pillar of Six Hands Unity, I offer you a clean blade.”
Oh shit!!!
“You knew me for a short while as the journalist Ray Caido.”
Oop i laughed out loud
Pain radiated up his shins and thighs into his hips as he hit the ground and tumbled forward onto hands and knees, all the breath knocked out of his lungs.
He's an old man now :'(
“What the fuck have you done, Kaul?”
He warned you. Everyone knows not to fuck with Hilo, or any of the Kauls
GSI soldiers shot first, before a single Green Bone or protestor even drew a weapon.”
Ooo got em
Hilo’s face changed with frightening suddenness. “I ought to kill you where you stand,” he whispered. “No, that’s not Niko.”
Hilo is so scary
The Pillar is the master of the clan, the spine of the body. The Pillar must uphold aisho and never break it. The Pillar should not consort with foreign criminals. The Pillar knows when it is time for another to lead.
DAMN THEY DONE WITH AYT MADA
“Would you like some tea?” Ayt asked unexpectedly. “I have a fresh pot steeping.”
Poisoned??? Her last battle???
“You give me too much credit,” Shae said. “It was a full family effort.”
and that's the power they have over Ayt Mada. She has no family. No one by her side. The Kauls have each other and always will
The family had suffered terrible strife and losses that had at times torn them apart, but they were also bound tightly in a way that Ayt and the Kobens could never be.
<3
Let it be possible. Let this be a world where I can keep her.
</3
“During the meeting,” Hilo said. “Bringing Niko in gave me the excuse to keep Lott out. Not because I want to exclude him, but so he can be doing other things.”
Damn. Hilo you son of a bitch. I respect it though
“Especially if I give them an easy way out of having to pretend to be angry,” Hilo said. “Which I will. As soon as this is over, I’ll step down as Pillar.”
Oh shit!!
Wen’s fingers stopped moving. She breathed out, her long exhalation warm against his skin. “Niko’s not ready.”
Why is she so distant to Niko still?
But you can see how Niko’s changed and how hard he’s been working. You should be nicer to him and show him some affection even when he doesn’t ask for it or seem to want it.”
No literally!!! Thank you for speaking up Hilo
“Ayt-jen,” he said, “I have the information we need. Everything will be arranged as we discussed.”
Stop. What are they about to do???
“Tunnel,” the man moaned. “I don’t know where she went, but this building… used to be a safe house for the Clanless Future Movement. There’s a tunnel… under the laundry room.”
Oh my god she is going to kill Niko, Hilo, & Shae and Ato and take over the clans
Bullets chopped through the air above him and stitched into Hilo’s side.
Oh my god
She would remember only the jerk of Hilo’s body and the pistol falling from his hands, the way her brother’s shoulders struck the wall before he slid to the floor.
Fonda Lee you couldnt let this book end without absolutely CRUSHING me
Hilo shook his head again. “I’m not dying in a fucking hospital.”
:(
“Shae,” Hilo said gently, “I can’t feel my legs. I want to go home. I want to see Wen. Please, Shae.”
:( great now im crying
The only thing Shae remembered from the journey was Niko’s voice, almost too quiet to be heard. “Da,” he begged, “don’t leave me.”
I can't rn
Hilo did not answer.
</3
Wen ran to the front door, saw her husband, and collapsed to the ground with a wail of pure animal pain.
Haven't they lost enough???
A weak smile crawled up Hilo’s face. “But she failed. She’s done. This was her last shot, and she got me, in the end. But she didn’t get us.
I hate you Ayt Madashi
He asked her, “Is there anything you want me to say to Lan?”
HILO SHUT UPPPPP
“Please, don’t talk like this Hilo,” she whispered. “I can’t handle it. I can’t stand to think I’ll be the last one left.”
ALL THIS SERIES IS IS PAIN AND SUFFERING
When the Horn raised his arm, all the clan’s warriors shouted, and the sound of their combined voices thundered. “The clan is our blood, and the Pillar is its master!”
<3
In the early hours of the morning, as dawn broke over the skyline of Janloon, Shae felt her brother’s irrepressible jade aura fade out of her mind.
I am devastated
She arrived too late.
Stop kicking me while i'm down
Then he dressed in his best suit, walked into the courtyard of his house, and shot himself in the head.
COWARD
Kaul Hiloshudon, a man as dramatic in death as he had been in life, let the gods recognize him.
LET THE GODS RECOGNIZE HIM
