"She didn’t have to do any of this. The victimization, the acceptance of bullshit, the leaving your heart in the hands of an asshole yet again. She could just decide not to."

“all of us have thousands of little flaws. I have a lot of them... But you,” Tarine said. “With you, it is just the one problem. And it affects everything you do and, Nina, I am sorry to say this but I hate it about you.”
“All right,” Nina said. “Go on and tell me.”
Tarine sipped her wine and then said, “I suspect you have not lived a single day for yourself.”

"Nina became what Nina had to become."

I honestly hate when characters have to alter themselves for their new circumstances. It's realistic but always oh so sad to witness their spark die.

Fuck all men like Mick Riva!

"The story of June and Mick Riva seemed like a tragedy to their oldest child, Nina. It felt like a comedy of errors to their first son, Jay. It was an origin story for their second son, Hud. And a mystery to the baby of the family, Kit. To Mick himself it was just a chapter of his memoir.

But to June, it was, always and forever, a romance."

"all of the feminine tasks involve sitting around having fun while all the masculine ones involve finding someone to stick a spear in you. Telling, eh?"

These flashback scenes are revealing so much!!

If this pair don't go from enemies to lovers I will riot outside Sanderson's house!

"the lies we tell, the dreams we create, they're not real. We can't let them be real. This might be the hardest lesson you have to learn... When a good con woman dies, it's usually because she starts believing her own lies. She finds something good and wants it to continue. She keeps it going, thinking she can juggle it. One day more, she tells herself. One day more, and then..."

Shallan and Kaladin have finally met! And their interaction was HILARIOUS!

"Death arrived at twilight."

We love a strong first line that is designed to immediately give its readers chills!

"Expectation wasn't just about what people expected of you.
It was about what you expected of yourself."

Give me all of the dark academia vibes, please and thank you.

I'm now well over 1,000 pages into this series and there is still SO much left to learn, in every chapter. I bow down before Sanderson's mind.

"Kaladin breathed deeply, eyes closed, and for a time that was all he could hear. His own life. In, out, to the beating of the thunder in his chest.

Breath. His own little storm."

If you know, you know!

"When you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back."

"He thinks he'll be remembered as the villain in the story."
She snorted.
"But I forgot to tell him," I said quietly, opening the door, "that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key."
"Oh?"
I shrugged. "He was the one who let me out."

"Here - here was the most powerful High Lord ever born.
The face of dreams and nightmares."

"To the stars who listen - and the dreams that are answered."

"You are my salvation, Feyre."

EEEEEEKKK

Rhysand ≥ Tamlin

"Hello, Feyre darling," he purred.

This one line is enough to remind me just why I love this book so much!

As I can't take part in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, this weekend, I'm starting my own, now!

"stealing someone else’s air is how you breathe."

"Lies and secrets are hard, but pretending you don’t care is harder."

"Because all men are pirates, Mum says. Even Prince Charming is just like Blackbeard: sly and handsome, never ever to be trusted. We have to save ourselves."
