Status Updates From The Fragile Threads of Powe...

WHATTTTTTTTT

He didn't stir when she kicked off her boots. Or when she shed her coat, and the more cumbersome blades. Or when she climbed onto the bed. Or when she reached out and ran her fingers with all the lightness of a thief over the pale streak that glinted in his hair. Or when she curled in, close enough to hear the soft tide of his breath, and let it pull her down to sleep.

Heart can’t be still. I tried.

Kosika felt she shouldn't either, but questions had always made her tongue itch.
"Who was he?"
"His name," said the Vir, "was Holland Vosijk."
"Holland Vosijk," she echoed. When she said it, she tasted the sugar cube melting on her tongue.

Still fine. Totally fine. I don't know why my voice is coming out all squeeky because, seriousy, I'm fine.

(You get extra points if you read this in Ros' voice 😉

“How lucky we are, that after every winter, we are rewarded with a spring?”

Shesss fatttt

"So why don't you?"
Lila looked up at the ceiling, and he thought she would tell the truth, then, spill the words she hated to say, the ones he needed to hear, that her place was with him as his was with her.

Straight.through.my.HEART.

if i could eat this book i would

"she's injured" said Kell, getting to his feet.
"Hands bleed," said Lila with a dismissive wave.
But the prince was staring at Tes's stomach. "Not that much."

"I bind my life to yours," Rhy had said, wrapping the sash around their hands, and Alucard had chuckled, but Rhy's face was set, his voice sober. "I bind my life to yours," he said again, his gold eyes bright, searching, waiting.
"I bind my life to yours," answered Alucard.

I AM TOTALLY FINE, WHY DO YOU ASK dtiistutsustidstuteurust

i’ve accepted the fact that i’m going to be a little bit confused for the duration of this book

i've never read something this good

"You know," he mused, "if the king and queen had been allowed to have a second heir, then we could have fought over the crown. I could have lost, and lived my days out as a vain, indulgent prince." Rhy closed his eyes. "Instead, I am alone." Tieren's voice, when he spoke, was closer. "You will never be alone."

And to think I had started to wonder, when would the tears come... Let's just say, Q answered.

“We all don clothes that do not fit, and hope we will grow into them. Or at least, grow used to them.”

I’m truly considering if it is wise to start this knowing I won’t be getting book 2 immediately after. How much is my heart willing to take?

There’s more books!! I didn’t know there were more books! And it was just sitting there available on Libby? Pardon my dramatics but I am so excited I could cry. I can’t wait to see my faves again (yes I know it has been only one whole day…)

... but he wore it, still, to spite her. To say that in his mind they were still linked, that they would always be, that she was one of only two he loved so much, that he would let himself be bound to them like this.

It's all good, don't worry. It's not as if I needed my heart anyway.

Stubborn ass, she thought as he turned back toward the Barron, and she turned to join Stross and Tav. The pain was his, and so she let him have it. But she did look back, more than once, watching his black coat ripple in the cold breeze until he was just another shadow in the dark.

I am totally okay, not giggling or gasping or losing my chill altogether. Nah ah.

"If I could put myself out of my misery, I would," he muttered, and in that moment, it felt true. But Lila only hissed through her teeth.
“Idiot," she said, dropping into a nearby chair. "Do you know what else you are, Kell?"
"Tired?"
"Spoiled," she said. "And lazy."
"I'm already down," he said with a wince. "You don't have to kick me."

Boy do I looooove them 😁

so who thought a 7 year old queen was a good idea

Beyond the scraping steel, she saw him— the flash of a black mask, the ripple of a coat, a pair of lips twitching into a smile.

Be still my blood-pumping organ 😭😭😭

The force of it rocked through the ship, and Maris swore out loud again. Only a fool would try to rob the floating market. But she'd been alive long enough to know the world was full of fools.

I had missed Maris and the absolute truths she speaks. Incidentally, if you live in any London, fictional or otherwise, you'd know this is true 🙃

It was a monument. It was a crypt.
There was nothing waiting for him but the dead.
Alucard blew out a breath, and turned left, toward the bridge.
And the palace.
And home.

Ohhh my feels are sooo alive!

This is too slow what is going on 😭

kosika seems kinda based tbh
