The logic of this book:
- Elderly woman was targeted and nearly murdered. Let’s leave her vulnerable and alone most hours of the day.
- Spy has admitted to selling sensitive and confidential information. Spook him and send him on his way without so much as a demotion
- A massive demon attacks the heroine at a restaurant… but no one notices. Oh, wait—it was invisible.
Scratch that. It wasn’t.

Like???

“A hard blade of truth carved into me; I had no idea what I was doing.”

awe honey I couldda told u that 200 pages ago

Who’s gonna tell Kerri that we don’t need a whole damn recipe every time Emilia makes a dish?

. . . “wishing I’d gotten over my aversion to Wrath’s dagger and had taken it with me.”

How stupid is she? And if retrieving the cornicello was as simple as casting a sleeping spell, why hasn’t big-scary-powerful-Malvagi Greed done it yet??

“I forgot I’d taken it off.”

W h y? Why did you take it off, when you said you NEVER take it off, especially now that you know how important it is??

“This skirt had no secret pocket, so I’d left my moon-blessed chalk at home.”

What kind of bitchass excuse is that?

“I knew exactly what was going on—I was suffering from hysterics.”

😑 the denial is strong with this one

“Man had a funny way of blaming the devil for things he didn’t like.”

🤭☕️

“Never mind that Rhys’s particular damsel had slain a and wyrm herself and rescued him instead.”

they’re all such simps for Feyre 😂

“The skin was soft—softer than silk or velvet. And he was hard as steel beneath.”

Maas is doing it on purpose, at this point

“That they have faded from memory, that even I didn’t think of them immediately in the fight against Hybern, suggests that perhaps they willed it that way. Wanted to stay hidden. True things of power have such gifts.”

I can almost hear Maas going “IT’S NOT A PLOT HOLE, SEE? SEE??”

The House might be the best character Maas has ever written. No, I will not be taking criticism at this time.

“That he knew made her see red.”

Author’s new favorite phrase: spotted

So when is Christian gonna stop sucking?

more inner court shenanigans, please 🤲🤲

1. the infamous sky banging is only mentioned in passing??? 2. why is this written in first AND third person??

the banter 😩
(could do with some contractions but shhhhh. Just enjoy it)

“I don’t suppose anyone understands much of anything they’ve yet to experience themselves.”

Dade said “I can be woke, see?”

“They made sure I would never forget something I’ll never know.”

No. You don’t get to make me feel bad for him. I refuse.

“It’s over when you find the fucking heart to say it’s over.”

!!! Look at that. She has a spine.

“From the moment I saw you, before the bond noosed itself around our souls, I realized if I’d wanted anything before you”—I swallowed over a growing tightness in my throat, in my chest, and kissed her finger—“then I hadn’t truly wanted it at all.”

So the savage is a poet 🤔

“soft-coated steel”
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

to drop or not to drop, that is the question

Yeah… I doubt I’ll have anything nice to say about this if/when I finish it

”I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have … The wait was worth it.” . . . “The great joy and honor of my life has been to know you. To call you my family. And I am grateful—more than I can possibly say—that I was given this time with you all.”

P a i n

“Whenever Azriel makes his feelings clear, like he did with Eris … It’s stupid, I know. It’s so stupid and cruel that I do this, but … I slept with Helion just to remind Azriel … Gods, I can’t even say it. It sounds even worse saying it.”
“To remind him that you’re not interested.”

Yikes, Mor. I feel you, but… 😬😬😬😬
Someone get Az a drink

“If I hadn’t already been in love with him, I might have loved him more for that—for not insisting I stay” . . .

Remember people, Rhys IS NOT Tamlin
- xo, Maas
