I loooove how in their culture, there is a noble way to fight and an unspoken set of rules to abide by, but Misaki fights sooo dirty in comparison and I love that about her

When the winds hit them I got goosebumps lol total chill.

“Don’t want to attack a little old lady?” Misaki smiled. “Fine. Then defend!”

I like the direction this is going!

“For fifteen years Misaki had lamented being fated to raise her husband’s sons. All that time, she hadn’t considered that these boys might have something of her in them too.

“She wondered, what else could I wish for?”

Aw…

“Hyori was rarely smart, but Miami thought she might as well keep encouraging her.”

Lol burn

Omg a wire hanger. So disturbing

“You know I can’t come see you, Saint.”

“And why is that, kid?”

“They say I’m a pirate. And you’re a lawman.”

She closed her eyes to her tears. “When the time comes, I’ll take you down.”

“I know that.”

“It will kill me.”

“I know that, too.”

“You’re looking for a god. Didn’t you suspect that there was also a devil?”

Chillllsssss

“I’ll have a patrol car sit outside your apartment.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

UHHH??? YES HE DOES!! YOU MAY BE DATING A SERIAL KILLER AND YOU HAVE A STALKER DUMMY 😭😭 YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS JUST MURDERED god you are stupid.

Picking up! The humor in this is 👌🏼

He spluttered awake, slapping at his wet face. It was raining in his chambers, which didn't make sense. Then he saw the shutters were open. Lekan sat up. He was going to close them, but there was a demon at the foot of his bed.

YOURE ABOUT TO GET GOTTTT

…Tau angrily attacks Kellen for this, and Tau gets banished for attacking a noble. Kellen sends guards to kill him anyway but Tau has already slipped away. He plans on getting vengeance for his father and killing those who participated in the taking of his father’s life. I’m so enthralled. This is an audiobook but I’m gonna switch to physical because I love it so much already!

…the clan to banish her and her family instead. Kellen ends up killing them anyways and hates Taus father for coming to their defense. Later, a noble spars with Tau with a real sword and Tau trips him in self defense. The noble is appalled by this and challenges Tau to a duel to the death. Tau’s father steps in in his place and gets his hand chopped off. Kellen steps in and kills his father in retribution…

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. The beginning will hook you with a crazy breakneck fight scene, then immediately you are following Tau, a commoner, who is friends with Jabari, a lesser noble who is being trained by Tau’s father. They become friends which pisses off Jabari’s family. Jabari’s brother Kellen is a scumbag who is caught trying to rape a common girl. When caught, he wants her killed, but Taus father convinces

"We'll attend the burning tonight and then we'll go," she said. "We'll leave Kerem and all of this behind."
"I have nothing to give you," Tau said.
"Give? I want to be with you. I won't stay in Kerem without you, and I won't let them take me."

UGHHHH sweet innocent love this books is going to tear me apart

I quickly changed my mind

Omg Blair and Angus are adorable

UGGHHH I don’t like the freaking choices they’re making!!! I guess they don’t have any other choice but ugh. Also these plot twists—I don’t see them coming!

It is absolutely crazy to me that her dad left her to spend the day with her mom who had been missing for 16 years only to suddenly reappear, when she so obviously feels uncomfortable and distrustful of her. Like, go stay with your cousin omggg

Plot is cute so far

Still, it was an enormous relief when the first cup arrived. It was delivered by Hoid the cabin boy. (Yes, that’s me. What tipped you off? Was it perhaps the name?) A beautiful porcelain cup, without even a single chip in it.

HOID!

It might be said he had a way with words. In that his words often got away.

The girl had been given the unfortunate name of Glorf upon her birth

No 🤣🤣🤣
