“antlers up” is such a corny phrase 🥴 i can’t get past it

spoiler // wait Misho is Quia’s brother??? damn

I’M FREEEE

so she just…. revealed her identity?? okay, sure

immediately getting in bed together while they get naked???? and this is only their *1st kiss* ! ………. I’m soooo asexual bro what is this?! 😭😭😭

why are they full on making out and undressing each other ?????? 🧍🏻

“I would not renounce a single moment of loving the Nizahl Heir.”

LOVE????? 🫩

“After a lifetime of running, he was my homecoming.”

whyyyy?? 😭

“My personality did not lend itself to romantic musings, even the fleeting kind. Or so I had thought. Recent events seemed to indicate otherwise. (…) I had nearly broken my ankle trying to avoid Arin this morning. I didn’t understand the reactions I was experiencing”

i wish i shipped them but i truly do not care 😭

“He should know better than to share his smiles with me. I should know better than to crave them. (…) With the moon casting half his face in shadow, his back straight and gloved hands curled over the arms of the chair, he was an artist’s dream.”

this would be a cool line, if i shipped them at all

“I would never defend the Nizahl Heir to you. But I wanted you to know, because… the way he looks at you sometimes. Like you are a cliff with a fatal fall, and each day you move him closer to its edge.”

once again: i cannot bring myself to care 🫩😭💔 idk why they’re falling for each other……

he’s dying and she’s telling him her life story…… what the hell, sure…. 🙄 perhaps this would slap if i cared about them, but i don’t, so… 🫤

“Why should it bother me if Arin and Vaida chatted the night away? If she decided to touch his knee and whisper in his ear, was it any business of mine?”

jealousy? yaaaawn

“Arin broke out into a grin. My heart, which had done an excellent job of beating for my nearly twenty-one years of life, stuttered at the sight. ”

girl….. 🙄😑

“I had spent my formative years without more than a passing interest in the men of Mahair. (…) The Alcalah was not the time to entertain such absurdities. I snuck a glance as Arin deftly laced his vest and I immediately regretted it. (…) Being with him would be honeyed annihilation, too much for a flesh-and-bone body to bear.”

girl… 🙄 whatever

“I had never wanted anyone, never yearned for the physical relationships Marek chased.
I finally empathized with the girls in the keep.”

Literally why?? Just bc the man hunting and killing your people is attractive? Omg girl stand up!!!!

« “Nizahl’s colors suit you.”
Something dangerous pulsed in the pit of my stomach. »

noooo too soon. I don’t feel this romance.

Both sides are bad… Okay. Sure. Overdone. Idk. Nothing so far has been unique. It’s an okay story, but I feel like I’ve seen similar stories a hundred times before.

Idk why Sylvia and Arin are getting closer. Why is she blushing at using his name?

“You gave me your name without asking anything in return.”

why does she keep slipping up and indirectly revealing information like girllll

I don’t care about their dynamic, if I’m being honest 🫤

« “You have one advantage the other Champions lack.”
“You must mean my irresistible charm” «

ha!

“a handful of soldiers whose conversational skills peaked in the womb.”

lol

“A new dagger slammed into my arm, pinning me to the tree”

crazy

“A week ago you wanted absolutely nothing to do with me.”

ohh do NOT remind me of how little time y’all spent together! I don’t wanna think about the fact that this romance developed in just a couple of days lol

“What if separating isn’t what I want?”

I appreciate how earnest Quia is

I really appreciate how soft and sweet Quia is 🤧

omggggg it’s one of those scenes where she’s talking about how beautiful the view is and he agrees, except he’s actually looking at her 😭🤲🏻 unfortunately, i don’t feel much for them, at this point 💔

they just did a complete 180 and suddenly are all for physical contact and caresses. what happened?? 🤨

Ehhhhh idk man, I’m on Rye’s side. If she wants to kill the men who “used her” when she was a sex slave, then I’m all for it 😗🫶🏻
