Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Well, hello there, little bird.”
“Did you play ball with it like you used to tell him you would?” “Heavens,” Mal murmured to himself, sitting down next to the chestnut basket.
I shook my head. “Don’t try to reason this with me. Not when you do not know even half of it.”
Oh my fuck she doesnt listen to anything this is turning into ignorance
A dark headed girl screamed bloody death in my brother’s arms—but she was not my dark headed girl.
Winter had come at her call.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, my brother pulled her against his chest and put a hand on her face. “Calm down!” he growled at her, and then softly added, “She will come back, I know she will. She always does. From the dead, from the living, graves, and prisons. Snow will always come back.”
The set up of them from book one is insane and im already living
“I promised her,” was all he told her.
And when the white mist cleared, her glowing shape became clearer. Her long, dark hair floated around her, static with electricity dancing around the strands, and every inch of her body was lit with bright white glowing veins—her eyes, too, they were no longer gold but a startling pale gleam.
Oh shes sick
and her eyes began unveiling from the unnatural glow to reveal my stars—the only stars I’d seen ever since my life had become night.
He snorted. “Hello, you crazy bastard.” We both chuckled, and when he pulled back, his stare flitted between me and his very confused sister. “You did it. You actually married her.”
“You pretended you didn’t know me. I remember you hating me to death when we met, and now…now I hear this. It’s ridiculous. I…I don’t understand. It’s ridiculous, Kilian. Tell me that it is so beyond ridiculous.”
Yea i was confused too girl
“Pretend, my love. It was all pretend.”
Yea this mans scary way too convincing
“Come back,” I whispered to the warm wind. Like a prayer, he faded back and strode to me, lifting me up again, and I immediately locked my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.
He sat next to me when the others began chatting about Myrdur, sprawling on the bench, and I glided a bit further away. The movement was small, but his attention snapped to me, his drunken gaze travelling from the tip of my boots to my hair. “Little bird.” “Thora.” He eyed the bow in my hair. “Wasn’t that what I said?”
A gift. For me.
Aw shes so cute
A hand grabbed Snow’s and dragged her from Kilian’s lap. The younger brother, Malik, steered her to the dance floor, swirling her around and about, jumping and laughing with one another. And Kilian was still looking at her the same. “I think I like that,” I said out loud before I even realised the sound was my own voice.
“Why the tears?” Malik said, swiping a thumb under my eyes before tipping my chin up so I was looking at him.
My attention was entirely too focused on his finger twirling my hair, and I barely managed to murmur, “Something dark.” He nodded, looking up from my hair to my eyes. “Quite right, little bird. Something dark.”
Fuck i already love them // and this imagery is so brilliant
He blinked for a moment. “Yes. Yes, I did.”
Nah hahahahahahah
The day I’d returned from Isjord, he’d even shed a tear for me. A tear. Was it age? Did age make men sensitive?
Aw you are so loved snow
“Hello, Gara,”
All these fucking names i legit cant keep up i need a cheat sheet
“Forgive me,” he breathed out, cupping my face and kissing every inch of it. “I didn’t—”
God this man
The little redhead pointed a finger at me, at my neck and shoulders. “Why do you bite her?” “Because she likes it,” Kilian answered calmly, buttering me another slice of bread.
“No,” Eren said, grinning up at me. “What is embarrassing is that my little sister has kissed the man I want to kiss.”
“Whatever your punishment is, I will welcome it, my queen. My Cori is gone. My babe is gone.”
Snow this is the precipice for whatever reason your judgement right here is make or break for me
Maybe for the first time ever, I reconsidered. For Cori. For the little girl who had only ever known this woman as her parent.
Thank fuck
I stopped and lifted a brow, a smile stretching wide below my face covering. “Welcome inside the zgahna.” Demir.
“I command you to kill.”
I don’t think I know how. I only sought that—retribution. This time, however, there was no one for me to demand retribution from. Silas? The Gods? Who owed me? Someone did. I was sure of
Fuck this revelation cuts
My revenge did not matter. Maybe it had never mattered. She was gone. They were all gone despite what I do in their name.
It took her a moment to gather herself, a cold armour rising over her emerald eyes. “Does that make her unkillable?”
LMAO
“Then you should have killed him instead,” my sister said. “Snow was ready to have that on her conscience for our sake. Why didn’t you?”
“Did your brother use magic on my sister?” I murmured to Kilian. He looked over at them, his silver irises narrowing before he shook his head. “No. He doesn’t use his magic like that. Not even with Driada.”
He fluffed Atlas’s hair. “Are you alright, son?”
“I will never understand why men are so sensitive to pain when they are always the biggest cause of it.”
Distracted by my anger, Mal lowered his mouth to my mooncake and took one massive bite. “Testing for poison,” he said, chewing. “No poison.”
“They never light the torches,” Mal said when he caught me studying the elderly folk climbing shaky ladders to light up the tall lamps. My attention swivelled to him when he added, “They are lighting them for you, so you can see.”
So loved this would overwhelm me
“Would the little Skygard, Nia, and my mother like these?”
Mal put his massive naked foot on top of mine, stopping me from digging my toes in sand again.
This made me squirm lmao
Thora Isa Skygard owns every and each of my darkest secrets. If someone can bring me down, it would be her.”
Candles blew off in the room, pulling a dimness over us. And soon, walls of black rose around us, enshrouding us in absolute, pitch-black darkness. Then…his mouth was on mine, rendering me senseless, dizzy, and utterly mad.
Not on the words. On the signature. Kilian Castemont.
FUCKING FINALLY
Driada told me he’d not spoken a word until the day that they had found you alive. She said he blamed himself for everything and that is why he took responsibility for it.”
This fucking man
“I will rip out every heart in this kingdom, one by one if I have to. And you’ll watch mine bleed if you must.”
What is her problem my god
Mal shook his head and took another step forward. “She deserves to know, and I should have said something sooner.”
Theres no way…
Kilian took a step back. And for the first time, he looked like he feared me. He looked afraid of me. Kilian was afraid of me. “It was my fault,” he said, his trembling hand hitting his chest, banging against his heart.
My poor fucking baby
“He was the first person I’ve ever cared for and loved. I would have never known how to care for another being had it not been for him. No one had taught me—I had to learn it myself. I learned it through Mal. If I lose my brother—” He shook his head. “I can’t lose my brother. Don’t make me choose, please. I love you both.”
SNOW LIKE GIVEIT UP PLS
“You selfish bastard.”
Girl dont even
“You want to take his place, Your Majesty,” I said, my voice blistering with ice just the same as my insides were. “Then have his place back.”
And you reacted exactly how he predicted…
“It’s concerning,” Mal said, coming from behind me. “Befriending forest folk at your old age.” He came and sat cross legged before me. A black rose in his hand.
I love that he said fuck it and faced her immediately like snows rage has to be dimmed
