Kindle Notes & Highlights
There were scarcely any stories about the Star, any knowledge about her lost over time while the other Stars walked amongst the people in Elara’s world.
“A girl who cannot be killed by a Star without they themselves perishing.”
She would die before she ever begged him for anything.
“Power looks good on you, princess,”
A woman can be both, you know. Soft and fierce. She does not have to choose.”
“I didn’t rise through the Helion army ranks because of my good looks, you know.”
We love a kings guard who actually EARNED his spot
“You must have had too much to drink if you’re claiming you missed me.” “I did miss you.”
I have to say that I would fucking do it again and enjoy watching every last one of them suffer for what they nearly did to you.”
“You deserve to feel true love,” he said finally as his thumb began to trace the inside of her palm. Her breathing shallowed, trying to focus on the light show. “You deserve to feel adored.” His thumb stroked the inside of her wrist. “To feel pleasure.” It came to rest back on her palm. He paused. “To feel a love where they’re the first you look for in every room.”
I’m SOBBING
“You’re the most beautiful woman anywhere. But that wasn’t enough to say. To tell you that you look beautiful seemed a lazy, easy thing to do to describe the way you look. Because I can barely put it into words.”
“No. You did not love me. You wanted to own me. You don’t hurt the ones you love. You don’t treat them the way you did me.”
She smiled, remembering the weekends she would sneak out with Sofia into a café before a matinee performance, the two of them drunk on art and hot chocolate.
Elliot is my sofia
“No, it’s not. The girl I was died in that theatre. You won’t find mercy here.”
“Why?” she breathed. He cocked his head. “Are you ready to have that conversation, princess?” Her heart pounded. “No,” she whispered. His easy smile was back. “Then it looks like you’ll find out some other time.”
“My mother always told me it was a curse to feel as deeply as I do. I loved her very much, but I think she was only capable of loving me in her own way, rather than as I needed to be.”
Felt
“Don’t you ever let anyone tell you that feeling too much is a weakness. Do you know how much strength it takes to feel every ebb and flow of life?
“I’m pissed off,” she replied, hurling the book across the lawn. “And what did that book ever do to you?”
LMAOOOOO
