Kindle Notes & Highlights
Cleo. It had to be Cleo.
It’s so obviously Grim or Celeste
Terra. Her fighting instructor, the closest person to her in the world. The one who had taught her nearly everything she knew.
Um…didn’t she leave you hanging from a tree for 5 hours??
She needed to know how to fight because she was powerless. She needed to hide in her room because she was powerless. She couldn’t meet anyone alone because she was powerless.
Am I reading the wrong book??
“I’ll let you in on a secret that might explain my decision,” he said loudly, for all to hear. He turned to look straight at her. “Isla Crown doesn’t have powers.”
Immediate betrayal, you have to respect it
“Nightshades . . . our powers include curses. I can sense all the others.
What don’t their powers include at this point?
“Did you—did you send me that dream?” she asked, voice very tight.
Oh my god he’s literally been mind washing her
Had she created the curses and given her realm one to erase suspicion? A curse that wouldn’t weaken her in the slightest?
No dumbass, that would be stupid
(Editing this later because this is literally what Celeste did hahahahaha)
Once a ruler had children, they began to age more properly, looking older and older the more their family line grew.
Literally makes no sense but go off
Isla knew the door wanted her to open it for a reason. Maybe this was it.
The door is an inanimate object
First she tried her fingers. Stuck them in painfully, shoving part of her palm inside to fill the gaps. But when she tried to twist her hand, all she did was scream out as her skin got caught in the metal.
This is literally unhinged lmaoo
“My ancestor, Horus Rey, and Grim’s, Cronan Malvere, created the island.” She nodded. She knew that. “And so did yours.”
Dun dun dunnn
“I haven’t told you what you do to me.” She blinked. “What?” “I haven’t told you that you’ve ruined me.”
MANIPULATIVE OLD MAN
He was cold as stone,
Okay Edward
Like she had already done it all a thousand times in her dreams.
YEAH BECAUSE HE’S LITERALLY BEEN GROOMING YOU IN YOUR DREAMS!! She’s a victim
(Later Edit:The reality was so much worse)
they slipped away as easily as the rain racing down the hundred windows of the Place of Mirrors, during the storm that had locked her and Grim in the glass box for hours.
This girl does not know how to use commas
“Sing for me, Wildling,” he finally said.
How does this book get worse with every chapter
“The full egg represented the moon,” she said, her voice hoarse from singing. “The yolk . . . is the sun.”
HAHAHAHA
She choked, falling to her knees. Her chin dipped, and her eyes settled on the long tip of an arrow, sticking right through her heart. A perfect hit.
She would be dead if it was a perfect hit through the heart dumbass
The Nightshade thrashed violently against chains that looked like vines. His arms strained. Just then, the door crashed open once more. Oro stepped through.
What in the soap opera is going on here
He already loved you . . . you two have quite a history
Having history with a 20 year old at the age of 500 is NOT a good sign
“My brother was supposed to marry Aurora.” Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. “But he fell in love with someone else. With her best friend.”
Gasp
“Years ago, one of Grim’s powerful, curious generals stole one of his relics and used it to visit the Wildling newland.
Oh my god he’s been grooming a colleague’s daughter
You are not only Wildling . . . but also Nightshade.”
I CALLED IT HAH
You had to make Oro fall in love with you. But we were already in love. You would have refused. So, I had to take the memories of us together away.”
Oh my god he’s a cuck
Oro was wielding Isla’s power. And she could see in Grim’s face that he knew what that meant.
It’s a sad day when I have to root for a blonde 500 year old man over a brunette 500 year old man
Before Isla could say a word, Grim backed out of a gaping hole in the glass and disappeared into the night.
Lol
Grim had returned to Nightshade, scathed. Betrayed.
HIM? BETRAYED??
