Will Warner be this way for the rest of the series?

He's being sweet. Too sweet. I liked him when he was a villain. Now this is ruining how I felt for him before. :((

If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter.

"'I see,' he says finally. He takes a few quick steps back, until the alley yawns between us. 'It makes sense,' he adds, shrugging. 'Why would you trust me? I’m just the fish boy. I’m nothing compared to you, right?Compared to Shade. And him ...'”

Kilorn Warren, are you trying to make her feel guilty for not trusting you? Lol, stop pitying yourself, child!

"'Especially me. I’m not just something for you to hide behind, I’m your friend, and I’m going to help you with whatever you need, however I can. Please, trust me.'"

I wish I could.

'Kilorn, grow up,' comes out instead, so sharp it makes him flinch."

Yeah Kilorn, grow up. 🙄

"'What will you tell them when I bleed?' I hiss after him. 'The truth?'

He laughs deep in his chest. The little boy disappears, replaced by the king killer again. 'The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.'"

"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain."

I was waiting for this quote. I love it. I love Maven so much. ❤

"'You made me believe it. You made all of us believe it.'

'It’s not my fault you were stupid enough to play along,' he replies."

Aww, Maven. 🥺

Julian :(((

Maven lets me think, his eyes thoughtful as he watches the emotions rise in my face. He always lets me think. Sometimes his silence is better than anyone else’s words.

"Sometimes his silence is better than anyone else's words."

Ahh, I loved this! I love Maven. ❤‍🔥

"As the electronic music I hate clatters to life, I realize it’s at least a dance I recognize.

Maven looks shocked when my feet move into place. 'You’ve been practicing?'

With your brother. 'A bit.'"

Dancing with the other brother, hmm?
I remember this scene clearly.

I didn’t want to trust him before for this very reason, for the secrets he kept hidden. Or maybe this is what he was hiding all along . . . his own heart.

You wish, Mare. 🤭

I let go of a breath I didn’t realize I was holding in.

Lol

“They’ll have the power back on in fifteen minutes if we’re lucky.”

“And if we aren’t?” I breathe in the darkness.

She hustles me down the stairs and shoulders open a door. “Then I hope you’re not too attached to your head.”

✨

Kilorn, quit being so jealous. 🙄

“You better hide that heart of yours, Lady Titanos. It won’t lead you anywhere you want to go.”

YES MAVEY!
I often think of when Maven said this...

"My heart plummets in my chest until it bounces around my toes."

That sentence reminds me of Shatter Me so much, it's not funny. 💀

"I’m an accident. I’m a lie. And my life depends on maintaining the illusion."

"The younger brother is not as good as Cal at hiding his feelings. At least I won’t have to deal with a good liar."

Tee-hee, you have no idea. 😌😆💖

“My name is Maven."

MAVEN!! Maven, Maven, Maven, Maveyyyy!! 🥺🥺❤❤❤

"Gone are the drab clothes he wore last night, used to blend in with peasants like me. Now he looks every inch a future king, Silver to the bone. To think I trusted him."

Mare, why would you begin to trust him if you had only met him the night before for a few minutes? I forgot just how gullible you could be. 🙄

Cal!

"We will rise up, Red as the dawn." ❤‍🔥
