THIS IS HORRIBLE

HE CALLED HER SWEETHEART AHHHHHHHH

The way he left but looked back at her🥹and reminded her she still has unfinished business with her father…bro there’s 100 pages left wtf..also Lin kinda forgetting about Conor on her rounds with Aron👀

"There could be a child."
"No." The flavor of it had been strong, tasting of mint and bitter pennyroyal. "I made sure no pregnancy could take hold."
"As easily as that?" the thought of a child with the most beautiful eyes in the world, silver as storm clouds, had flashed across her vision.
But that was not her child to have.
"As easily as that," she said.PAIN💔

“It is your life you will not give up, just as I cannot give up my own. I will not be your mistress. I do not want some part of you, of your time and self."I GASPED when Conor suggested she became her mistress🫣the way Lin clocked him..like that was a harsh conversation..

gagged

"I want to give them up." His voice was ragged. "But I cannot. I cannot offer you what the lowest peasant in the street could offer you. Myself. Because myself does not belong to me. It belongs to Castellane."

Ah yes I’m crying again

"Lin, Lin. Don't, sweetheart. Please."
She had never heard him sound like that. Never imagined he could. He kissed her cheeks, her salt-damp eyes; he curled his arms around her, burying his face in her hair. His heart beat under her cheek, fast as hummingbird wings.
"I cannot marry you," he whispered.
Her voice caught on her reply. "I know." This is cruel Cassie💔🥹

"In the folly— It was a mis-take," she whispered. "You knew it immediately. So did I. What else is there to say?"
"And that's all?" he said. "A mistake?"AHHHH💔pain..also the fact Anjelica destroyed the folly HAHAHHA

Instead, I find out today from Kurame that you were fornicating with some commoner. In public. Where anyone could see you.
She bit off each word as if she were snapping at it.
"What?" Kel said. He looked at Conor🫣AHHAHAHAH Conor was not impressed and BITCH you lit have a pirate lover you plan to escape with..DONT MARRY!!!

"There is a King on the Hill and a King in the City," said Kel.😳Slay Kel..

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod he just called her sweetheart CONOR CALLED LIN SWEETHEART

"Look at me, sweetheart," he said. "Can you do that?"

going to bed with peace in my heart abt my ships 😌😌😌

it’s rly hitting me that this is cassie clare’s first adult fantasy….

So Andreyen said he was exiled. And Asher Benezar was also exiled. Andreyen is around 30 years old, Aron is also this age. Could Andreyen and Asher be the same age? That would be the revelation I was waiting for.

Why must sleep call when I have 80 pages left of my book and want to keep reading?

Love love love love this book and these characters and this intrigue! 🥰 I will be immediately rereading this, just like book 1

So happy to be back in this world 😭
