"I'll take your silence as joy."

bruh if only men realized that usually a girl's silence is because she's trying to figure how the best way to react with as little consequence as possible

'Even for someone who believes in the science of what I can tangibly see and hold and explain, I've always known the unexplainable is possible here. The air is tinged with a magic that quivers around my skin.'

idk why but so many girls in books think it's easy to disguise themselves to pass as male

IT AIN'T THAT EASY MKAY

geez only almost HALFWAY through the book does the blurbed material actually start occuring

these men are idiots because they're ALL on the same side . . . and yet they're just starting to fight with each other because tensions are high??

I'll say it again: these men are idiots

Rhen's spine is doing all kinds of things: bristling, squirming, twitching, etc

idk but if I was her I'd be medically concerned by now xD

'Talk is free, advice is not.
if you need some, go ask your mum'

I already like this bar

k all this political conniving is interesting BUT WHEN IS THE CONTEST GONNA BEGIN???

I came for life or death situations not ballgowns and enragement

DECK HIS SMUG FACE

bwhahaha I was calling this character "Eyebrows" in my head and then lo and behold Rhen (the MC) calls him "Eyebrow Bow" in her own head

just for that, I think I love her

not really a fan of how the chapters always end at "cliffhangers" aka the middle of a conversation, supposedly to keep you turning the pages

m'dear authors: I regularly vacate conversations midway I'm not interested in; please come up with a different idea of suspenseful chapter endings here

'There's something about knowing death is on the horizon.'

this is more hilarious than I thought it would be?? I love it

'Seleni lifts a hand. "Constitution monstitution. One of you dish it before I throttle you."

'Apparently being famous for things that can kill you is better than no fame at all.'

'For the girl who's been told to quiet down,
calm down, sit down, or just leave
it to the men--this is for you.
And to those who told you such things?
Watch. Us. Rise.'

oh hello I've found my new anthem

my poor heart can't keep up with all these ships omg

hoo boy Selah keeps giving her heart away so easily and while I can understand why she's desperate and it heightens things . . . still!!

well now I'm confused

I knew it and I am delighted

"If only I could catch you."

I'M DYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG PLEASE LET THIS SHIP HAPPEN

oh yeah I definitely ship this

'I expected him to insist he’d complimented my looks, protest I shouldn’t be so sensitive. But above his smirking mouth, Bear’s blue eyes were bright and serious. “Oh, Selah.” He shook his head. “Your beautiful face is the very, very least of you.”

okay yep I ship this and I have a hunch but I'm okay if it's disproved

an attentive guard with a dry sense of humor?? help my shipping senses are starting up

'The pause in their conversation was a musical rest, the reflective 'selah' for which I was named.'

RIGHT AFTER I MENTIONED THE NAME MEANING IT IS BROUGHT UP IN THE BOOK?!?

the name Selah always rockets me back to childhood Bible readings and always being asked what 'Selah' in the Psalms meant (so my dad knew we were remembering what we were taught) so every time I see her name at the end of a sentence, my brain automatically goes "so be it" bwhahaha

((although I could be wrong cause there's apparently many meanings to that Hebrew word??? whoops dad I forgot too much lol))

'For half a heartbeat I met the captain’s stare. Two of my fingers were wound between his, fingertips pressed into the hollow of his hand, the blood beneath my palm thrumming against his knuckles.'

and so their fall begins ahahaha

"There is effect because there is cause. There was war because there was provocation."

hmmm this is seeming a bit slow but so far the good kind of slow

'Though not for lack of searching, I’d never met an elf or a witch or found a magic kingdom in the woods. But though the stories weren’t real, they were fundamentally true. I’d learned firsthand.'

wow this my childhood because I grew up soaked in fairytales aha

hmm a mysterious lower level to the ship that the ladder is "broken" so therefore it's "dangerous" for her to explore it???

uh huh sure
