Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Are all males in the Faeland this forward?” I asked before catching myself. I closed my eyes and felt the heat rush over my cheeks.
What are you here for?? Why are you even in the fae lands again?
“I would never bring a weapon to dinner,” I said. “Lord Feron trusted that I would come unarmed. So I have.”
Does it count if you can't even reach them?
“I bet you could hide a treasure trove of items under that skirt.
Gross
Though I’m sure nothing would compare to your—
GROSS
how were you even going to finish that sentence? Couldn't compare to her fat puss? Ick dude
“I do love the way you say my name. So much malice. So much passion.”
GOD
I left a pool of sweat in my bed and dressed for some fresh air.
"wet dream"
Halflings often disappeared when Prince Damien was around.
It's giving Jeoffery
“Do you ever think of going back?” I cut through
Bitch no she just said so
They were too distracted watching the pretty Elf to notice me sneaking in the door.
Doubtful given the track record of you being recognized
One prick and she would be asleep for hours. She never even turned around when I jabbed her neck.
One prick! You jabbed it!!
“Who?” I said, trying to cover my surprise.
See? Stupid girl.
I swung again. He blocked it with his sword.
This is just juvinile
Strike. Dodge. Strike. Turn.
That's already exactly as you wrote it.
I dropped, swiping his leg. He jumped, so I rammed the hilt of my sword into his knee.
From the floor?
He flew forward and fell to the floor.
Where are you in relation to this?
I leaped off the ground, twisting over his head.
Ok wtf so youWERE on the ground so then wtff
“The Dark Fae are making a move against the Crown?”
Didn'tyou already guess this earlier after your last sword fight with the shadow?
“If you don’t answer me, I’ll kill you now.”
Why?????
Faelinth?
What even is this word?
“The way I see it, you only have two options. Stay silent and let me kill you. Then, there’s no one to protect your dear Nikolai or anyone else I discover has helped you.” I felt his shoulders tense. I’d hit a nerve. “Or you can tell me everything and I might kill you,” I finished.
But then why say you wouldn't kill him earlier??????????
“Because I’m going to help you kill him.”
Plot change again?
Riven huffed, his jaw bulging as he studied me.
Wtf does THAT mean?
This one was utterly clueless that I had tailed him from the moment he left his post.
You've literally been wrong 100% of the time since you'd been here.
I needed to know if he planned to join me or kill me.
And proving he can't trust you is helping with that?
I gritted my teeth as I reached for my dagger. I’d like to see them try.
They supposedly haven't even found out you're here yet, relax
“She would not best me,” the female voice boasted. I heard the clang of steel as she unsheathed some weapon.
What's with people pulling out weapons at the mere THOUGHT of killing someone?
I could’ve killed you before you even had the chance to scream.” Nikolai dropped his arm. His eyes flicked to Riven, who nodded.
Redundancy, Melissa… You gotta work on that...
His previous fear melted away as he patted my shoulder.
Lazy
I lifted my leg on top of my knee and pinned my hands against my head.
Huh?
“You did kind of say that,” Nikolai said, tilting his head. Riven’s
·~·
but it was a shot. More than I’d ever had before.
More shot?
He chewed on his lip while I chewed on my thoughts.
Poetic •~•
This wouldn’t be the only time we had to weigh the cost of lives.
Yeah bc you were so heated about your little sister shades dying in a month, right? Or did Melissa forget about them already?
Nikolai didn’t seem to be her type.
Ooooh jealous
If she ever stopped thinking about bloodshed long enough to have a type.
YOU LITERALLY NEVER MET HER
Riven’s dark brows pressed against his hairline.
Impossible
“People will die.” I shrugged. “Probably.”
This a worse plan
I could see his jaw pulse in the warm light from the hearth.
What is going on with people's bulging and pulsing jaw bones??
I ran my tongue along my fangs.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE FANGS??
“He’s one of the finest mechanics in the Faelinth.
Oh so he's hot
The fire warmed my legs as my cloak dripped on the floor.
Are you melting?
I said, fanning my fingers in front of the flames.
Huh?
I could feel the warmth of his chest through my cloak. I stilled. He took another step
That seems close enough already
We hadn’t been this close since that kiss in Cereliath. I rubbed my fingers along my lips. They were warm
Brother ew
and swollen like they had been the night he left me in that temple.
Even stripped of his cloak and hood, his features were still made of shadow.
Impossible
“I don’t trust you,”
You were the one who kissed her when you saw her face
My words came out in ragged breaths. I clenched my hands to keep from shaking.
Wow, emotional much?
“But you say you tried to kill the king before. You must’ve had opportunities. Why is Aemon still alive?”
Because she failed
But I couldn’t. I’d carried them too long on my own. Exposing them to the world felt wrong. I wouldn’t do it, even to buy Riven’s trust.
Weird logic?
