"Owen," you said, and your voice was deep and cool as still water, "come back to me." Then you said "Please," and that cool voice caught and hung on the word and I thought I would do anything at all-live or die or burn in hell-if you asked it of me. In the dream, I answered you.The medics told me later it was the first word I'd spoken since the dunes, the first time any of them thought I might live. I said, "Always."

Lowe sniffling her scent around like he’s Anthony Bridgerton.

Quick easy read

Odessa has so much questions in her inner dialogue…

I’m liking the slow burn so far.

ALEX, THE MAN YOU ARE 🧎🏽‍♀️‍➡️ IT SHOULDVE BEEN YOU

“I’m sorry, Rune, if you think I’m going to stand here quietly and watch you die, you’re an idiot.”

He got himself arrested bc he couldn’t imagine a world where she is executed for being a witch. SOMEONE SEDATE ME.

GIDEON I HATE YOU

It’s becoming more and more obvious that Verity is actually Cressida

She had two sisters (there were 3 queen witches). Hm…..

How is Rune falling in love with Gideon when Alex has always been right there??!!!

Alex found out Rune was a witch while society is actively murdering them, helped her hide it to evade capture, and helps her rescue witches to safety…

Yet Rune is falling for Gideon, a witch HUNTER, who made her two dresses…

why are you competing where you don’t compare?

I know Gideon is the main love interest but it should be Alex….

Right when we get to a pivotal part of the plot, we’re forced Elm and Ione down our freaking throats

Did we lose the plot???!! RAVYN is carrying this damn book! he’s refusing to sacrifice his sister and then next chapter I KID YOU NOTTTT - Ione and Elm find the Maiden card and Elm offers her to be queen, yeah saw that coming… then have sex… UM all while Ravyn is going through trials and tribulations

SUE ME but genuinely could not care for Elm and Ione’s romance. I could’ve done without… they’re fallen flat for me

So Ravyn is losing sleep, got his nose broken, in pain seeing the Shepherd King take over Elspeth’s body and Elm is trying to woe her damn cousin….

I DNF…

Elliot thought Mar was the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen?

….. SIDE EYE…..

I need to see it through but I want to DNF.

I can see the appeal but these characters are falling flat for me…

Violet, you’re annoying the shit out of me.

“Ooh wah wah wah Xaden is keeping secrets, if there’s no trust there’s no love….but OHHH he looks so good I want him wah wah wah”

Well then focus on keeping to keep your shields up. Like bffr how is anyone supposed to tell you anything when you just got here?
