Status Updates From The Ragpicker King (The Chr...

NAH. I. AM. LIVID.
I never cared about Joss but now… FUCK YOU JOSS FALCONET AND JOLIVET
AND YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK YOU TOO CONOR CAUSE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE JOSS OVER KEL??? KEL, THE ONE WHO DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO PROTECTING YOU!?!? And I really liked Conor. He’s gonna regret not believing Kel.

“I’m so glad you said that😮‍💨 you see, I’ve already poisoned his wine🤭”

wait, who's Elsabet? 🤨

I love me some mystery nuggets and I feel like Sherlock Holmes solving mysteries. So good.

Me from becoming what I am. Ji-An then arrives. Lin lies her way into the box. Kel leaves. Conor and Lin need to communicate their feelings, ok? I want them. She tells him about the poison. Drank. She is to meet him later for more info. Elsbet and Artal go to Beck. She wants to take out Andy and the royal family. She caught on that that is not Beck. Knocked out Jerrod. He gotta go tell Beck what happened.

He wanted to get her to to let him in then steal from the Treasury. He was found out, but asked her to come, no. He made her think he was true. So no bs. Pretend in public. Conor agreed. He likes her, he tells Kel. Lin dreams of a man losing his family to a fire. Saying that king phrase. Meren says it's poison. Conor tags along w Kel to the arena. Kel was supposed to be the trio there. Mari translated- they are keepi

She knows him as Kel. The king is out of it. Conor gave her a royal order to help. She cannot tell Judah. Upon death. He wants her to tell him what is in the liquid that Fausten gave the king. The king mumbled gibberish as she left. Huh. Annette does know Beck- taught her sword fighting. She has a secret tunnel. Artal keeps pressing her about Beck. Kel, Conor and Angie all chat. The pirate Arden, is obsessed w her

Elsbet conspires w Artal and "seven". I wonder who Seven is? Someone close to Conor? They are worried about Kel. Will they set him up? He is working w Andy, is that treason? She thinks Ann knows where Beck is. Wants Artal to find out
Lin tells them that he wears a protection amulet. So cannot die. Gets summoned to palace. Kel meets the princess. She knows about Conor's allergy to walnuts, Kel took it without thinkin

I mean they could run away together…. And they could possibly get away with it because you know, you know. 👀
Also her writing!

That was such a fun ball chapter. Ugh, so many juicy conversations! Antonetta seems to have a plan for salvaging her arranged marriage situation, and I’m all for Conor possibly helping👏🏽

Be the man Lin wants you to be Conor

Cassie really just writes a yearning man so well. We need more of that energy

Can Kel and Antonetta just kiss already 😭

Still trying to rejog my memory in what happened in the first book..

And we’re off! This is going to be fun!

Conor, my sweet child, do you not know anything about

My most anticipated book release this year, aside from Onyx Storm and Rep TV. I've been on the library waiting list for 4 weeks and I'm finally back at court, on the Hill, in Castellane.

I love them! I want to be Merren & Ji-An's friend! take me to the Black Mansion!
also these new characters; Aron, Anjelica. I really enjoy them.
& the new side of this old character, that I didn't think was important in book 1 (for a while, I'd even forgotten his look). sweeeeet!
can we have more of his pov in the next book please!???

no one does longing like cassandra clare i will die on that hill

[spoiler redacted] is dead!?
YES NOW THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR
Hated that character since the beginning of the book

It’s about to pop off and not in a great way, I fear.

R u fucking kidding me Cassandra I have words

I already know this is going to be a 5 star read. But I'm scared of where this is going 😭.

I love this universe, and I love the characters so much. The plot though..... is all over the place. I want to keep reading because I genuinely love spending time with the characters.

holy fucking shit

noooo my god

I REALLY didn’t see Antonetta being prosper beck coming but wow Kel had it figured out- but I really don’t like her and I don’t want this to bring them closer together

I am in a rage over how Conor has believed everything ( I know there’s damning evidence with the amount of witnesses Joss gathered) he was told about Kel and ACTUALLY sent him to the trick. Kel is the only reason Conor is somewhat functional and kind and he’s done EVERYTHING for him - what a betrayal their friendship can never be the same

i won't lie .... this is eating so far. not disappointed by a single POV but im def the most invested with lin

!!!!
