Double standard for the win.
Lmao what? I hate when fantasy books say random 21st century quips.
Xaden watches me with a cold, calculating look that feels like he’s plotting my death from where he stands as the wingleader for Fourth Wing.
There it is, folks. The title of the book.
But since we have him up here, what can you tell me about black dragons?” “They’re the smartest and most discerning,” Aurelie calls out. “They’re the rarest,” I add in. “There hasn’t been one born in the last…century.” “Correct.”
And obviously our heroine is going to ride that one.
Dain would more than take exception to Tynan’s assumptions and probably assign him cleanup duty for a month. Good thing he’s on the flight field this time of day. Xaden would just beat the shit out of him.
And here, our heroine has her first thought of "I like the evil piece of shit more than my childhood situationship" as every heroine in an enemies to lovers tends to do. Epic betrayal of said childhood friend imminent.
“Right. It’s just that they said there’s a feathertail?” Her voice pitches upward.
Nevermind. HERE is the super rare and unique dragon our heroine will ride. Because DUH
Standing at the end of the line is a small golden dragon.
Yep. That'll be hers.
“Andarnaurram.” The sweet, high voice of the golden fills my mind. “Andarna for short.”
I WAS RIGHT BOTH TIMES
“Each time a dragon chooses a rider, that bond is stronger than the last, which means that if you die, Violence, it sets off a chain of events that potentially ends with me dying, too.”
And so the bonded dragons set up the riders for matrimony. How quaint
I’m almost always in pain. It’s pretty much my comfort zone.
"Thats my secret. Im always angry"
One of the riders down the table whistles low. “Do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? It would be faster.”
Realest person in this room
“Twenty-three,” he answers. “My birthday was in March.”
Its ALWAYS the march birthdays
“I hear it’s all the fashion,” Tairn brags.
A. Im surprised Tairn has such a sense of humor
B. Im surprised he's not too proud to wear a saddle
All because I didn’t want to be a killer.
Grow up, you're in the army.
“This isn’t primary school. This is war—and
Thats what im saying!
“You really don’t want to know.” He’s tense but doesn’t move away from my touch.
Not really the best thing to ask after having sex.
Someone hurt him deliberately, maliciously, and it makes me want to hunt the person down and do the same to them.
God, so corny.
“I’m not sweet. Please don’t mistake any part of me for soft or kind. That will only get you hurt, and whatever you do…” He buries his face in my neck, inhaling deeply. “Don’t fall for me.”
I'm gonna barf.
“Tell me something real,”
I hate when book characters say this. No one has said this sentence ever.
“So the next time I see you, I’ll just act as cool as you are right now and pretend that I’m not remembering what it feels like to have you sliding inside me.”
Just stop talking, you make me want to die
“No offense, but I can fry this entire place with a lightning bolt if I want to, and I need to see Xaden, so go.” I pat his arm and keep striding toward the feeling, using it to guide me.
Girl if you don't learn to stop barking up a tree that said no.
Oh gods. I know this feeling. Denying it doesn’t make it any less true. My feelings are what they are. I haven’t run from a challenge since I crossed this parapet a year ago, and I’m not about to start now.
I'm going to barf.
