Status Updates From The Exiled Queen (Seven Rea...

“‘What I’m saying is, if I wanted you dead, you would already be dead a dozen ways. I let you live because now I got a different plan. You bayars need to learn that you can’t have everything you want. I’m going to teach you. This is just the beginning.’
Micah’s eyes narrowed. ‘Is that a threat?’
Absolutely.’ Han smiled.”

“‘You know, Micah, that first night, when I saw you on Bridge Street, I wanted to kill you. I wanted to cut your throat and watch your blood soak into the dirt. I wanted to wrap a strangle cord around your neck and throttle you while you kicked and messed yourself.’”

“‘What happened? Where is she?’ he said finally.
‘Where do you think?’ Han flipped his knife, caught it.
‘You killed her?’ Micah’s expression was all horrified fascination.
Han shrugged.”

Cat and Dancer= ride or die best friends for Han fr

He’s going to her place after curfew👀

“To tell the truth, I don’t give a rat’s arse about the queens.”
Wrong audience buddy😭

It’s happeninggggggg

He’s making her teach him dancing “in case he needs to blend in”

“‘I think I need more practice,’ Han said, shaking his head.
‘Nobody ever gets that one right,’ Raisa replied. ‘Never mind. I think you’re ready for dancing.’
‘Good,’ he said, grinning. ‘Now ask me to the Cadet’s ball.’”

HES SO SMOOTH🙏🏻🫶🏻

He’s just always hitting on her I love it😭

“‘Stunning,’ he said. ‘What’s the occasion?’
‘I’m going to see a girlie.’
‘I’ve never seen you dress like that to walk out with a girlie,’ Dancer said. He raised his eyebrow. ‘You’re not getting married are you?’”

Han and Dancer’s friendship though I love them

SHES GONNA TUTOR HIM TO PASS AS A BLUEBLOOD🙏🏻 this book keeps getting better and better I ship themmmmmm

“‘Me, I’d never cross a northern girlie. I know all about the knives.’ His voice was familiar, but his features were still hidden in shadow. ‘I meant to yank that bacon-faced dirtback off of you, Rebecca, but I guess you didn’t need my help.’”

ITS HAPPENING🙏🏻 THEY’RE MEETING AGAIN

Han asking if Rebecca (Raisa) asked about him when Cat saw her😭😭 he’s so down bad

I hate that I ship Raisa with both Amon and Han😭

Like on one hand it’s the princess and her guard trope
On the other it’s the secret princess with the streetlord thief with his own secret part of his identity

He’s so chill for being recruited as an assassin😭 like bro is just down

Han is just running up side quest after side quest😭

Everyone is so mean and racist to Dancer and he just takes it😭😭 if he goes evil at some point I whole heartedly support him

I just know Crow is hot asf😏 I love secret mentoring in the dream realm

Aediion is lowkey giving shifting

I love that Raisa and Han only run into you each other like halfway through and have their own separate stories AND STILL SECRET IDENTITIES>>>
But I love how they’re the main characters but don’t really know each other other than brief interactions it makes the story come together

“‘I go to school here, same as you.’ Han said.
Micah blinked at Han stupidly, the drink slowing him down. ‘You? Do you even know how to read and write? They can’t have lowered the standards that much.’
‘Well,’ Han said, ‘they let you in.’”

He’s such a diva

Totally ship Cat with Dancer🙏🏻 love a good one sided hatred trope

I love all the different systems of power there is already like Raisa seeing gray wolves when danger or opportunity is near

And he’s good at gambling😏

I love seeing Han use his streetlord knowledge to study people around him
