"Every day I draw breath is as much a curse as a gift. I've been living on borrowed time for longer than you imagine. If you're the way my fate finally catches up to me, I can't fathom a more beautiful end."

"As Autumn gave way to winter, and the jewel-toned leaves of the Lumnos forests curled, withered, and absorbed into the cold-hardened soil, the frosty air carried with it a sense that something was coming. It was a quiet, dangerous thing, like the crackle in the air that warned of a lightening bolt preparing to strike."

"It's never the enemy who attacks outright who will strike your killing blow... It's the one who hides in the shadows and waits. The one who strikes when you've finally looked away. Those are the true predators to fear." (pg 9)

"Let's have a toast. To the incompetence of our enemies."

"Without hope, fear thrives."

There was once a man who said "who you are in times of peace is more important than who are in a fight."

"There were moments that were gifts, meant to be cherished only for as long as you could remember them."

"Don't call her Sunshine because she is moonlight. The mist that shrouds the mountains. The bite of electricity in the air before a storm. The smoke that rolls across a battlefield before the killing starts. You have no idea what she is. What she could be. *You* should call her *Majesty*."

Wait.... did I somehow miss Becky? If I didn't... 😨

"Like the moments after a scream, when the terrible sound tears the air in two, and for a split second afterward, the memory of it handed there, determined to still be heard."

"You rest, so you can keep going" 👈🏼

"History never told the tale of wars that were won by the wrong side, their victory repainting the records to show themselves in the greater light."

IDK if this is old news for me, but I'm getting serious Celeana Sardothian / Aelin / Bryce Quinlan in Sarah J. Maas' world from Tory. IDK why I'm so drawn to them, but damn is this series good.

OMGoodness the wedding 🥲

Idk if this is necessary before Book 9... just wanna return to it when I'm mourning over the end of the series- use it for comfort w/ what's captivated me for the last 3/4 months.

"Perhaps instead of pathways, we are simply tethered to strings which become tangled like a ball of yarn. Perhaps those strings need cutting from time to time if we are to have any hope of removing the knots?"

"Lies can be daisies balanced upon a crown of thorns"

For a while, it was hard to read at night post- retinol application. Literally face-burn full of emotions & it's made this absolute ridiculous "bandaid" situation acceptable without much scrutiny.

Idk about the infantalizing nickname & how that's able to land through daddyvillemania. I find it discordant with the empowering & ever unbreakable woman character theme, but let's continue... this is still a great story!!

Likely way off base but is there any way that Hawke could be 🧛🏼‍♂️?

I think they're re-releasing all these books because of how many misprints there must be... that or I somehow found myself with two of them. Still, love this but I had to adjust to the new pace and style. Halfway through this book I got acclimated but it was so different after sprinting through 5 books so fast that my arthritis has been a real bother. No, I still won't try an eReader but maybe later....

Idk what it says about me that it's the hardest I've in this whole book, let alone the wise jokes she cracks along the way.. but uhh.. noted & posted 📫

I feel silly... like.. mmmm yeah. But also. I have severe trust issues and I don't KNOW. Trying to deliver suspense without leaving behind fruitful details. Channeling the title of the last book on that one..

I really like this! It's like a mixture of the Powerless series with Mistborn and A Fate Inked in Blood with ...something I can't place yet because I'm reading too many good series at once & it's giving me whiplash.

GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL... perfect. A day after I finished book 5. Good because the stars have some explaining to do....
