So you’re telling me this long dead nightshade’s bones are missing + flares aren’t usually inherited directly + her blood is superrrr powerful 🤔 and she’s the key to this other realm. Say less, sis.

I have a really bad feeling for team Grim.

“Go ahead. it’s yours anyway.”

💀

“There was a figure m,right outside her window, filling it like a god. Oro.”

“and you… wife… are mine.”

*fainting*

“You have power that threatens the gods.”

Tell me more.

“You and me… we’re infinite.”

“Loving you is remembering what I once loved about me.”

Is Isla Grims weapon?

So clearly Isla remembers something that makes her switch sides because the Vinderland people said they’re following HER. But knowing Alex there’s going to be more to it…

“So many secrets between you…”

Obv Oro still has secrets and whatever it is I think Cleo knows.

For the bonded - wouldn’t that raven that helped her be a good option and also a sign of the darkness?

Literally a hidden power that blooms when needed… and she’s powerless?

The heart is in her, right?

Another library? Like whatever is hiding behind the wildling door?

Theory: were her powers stolen from someone who loves her versus having never had them at all? I feel like Isla is an unreliable narrator (which I love) so I’m not sure I believe her “facts”.

I feel like Grim knows her already somehow and also if someone hadn’t complained about thinking Oro is old I wouldn’t know that he is young. This is not a love triangle (yet?)

“Celeste was the type to avoid telling Isla things, so she wouldn’t worry.”

I do not trust Celeste at all. Let the record show.

“I don’t know what I enjoy more. Replaying the image of my sword against your throat… or thinking about how your heart might look on my plate.”

“Careful, Hearteater… I just might give it to you.”

“Get. The. Fuck. Up.”

One day I’ll unpack in therapy why this had me kicking my feet.

“Read to me V” 🥹

When we get a “who did this to you?” In contemporary romance instead of fantasy 👌

“Pushed them open as he lowered himself to kneel at the altar.”

Called it.

“Good. Let him unravel. Let me see what he looked like in the ruins of all that self control.”

“I just played the notes that sounded like you.” 💜

“Bait. We were each other’s bait.”

“Some inconsequential island…Glana. glaea. Something like that.”

Making notes so I don’t highlight my ARC copy

“… he narrowly avoided the curios reaching hand of what looked like a dead priestess,blindfold over her eyes…”

This is sus. Maybe a tie to Sylina’s group but also forever wondering if this ties into DoNW.

“I found it hard to imagine Asar prostrating in general. He didn’t seem like the type who went to his knees easily…”

Foreshadowing? Please. 🙏🏻
