violet feeling the impulse to hit james again because his wounds heal so instantly makes me want to puke actually. he shows no consequence for the atrocities he's committed but that also means that he bears no scars from the atrocities that he's suffered. he remains a perfect, pristine trophy, the very sight of which has the potential to drive people mad with the desire to either tarnish or possess him or both

this is perhaps THE most devastating way that this reveal could’ve played out!!!!!! the desperate relief pouring out of will because HE HASNT SEEN THE COLLAR YET. all of the sick irony that we’ve been experiencing WITH will up to this point has been flipped on its head and now WE know something that he doesn’t and it’s brilliantly devastating. i need to scream from the rooftops actually what the FUCK now

in retrospect i really should’ve predicted this as the culmination of cyprian’s arc in this book cause it’s been all about him really seeing the ugly truths of the world and of the stewards and realizing that the perfect, pure righteousness he strove for just simply isn’t realistic. people make desperate choices when they’re faced with impossible situations. and james did a similar thing!!!!!

“or maybe he’d been falling since bowhill, and it was the moment when everything hit” i’m IN LOVE with this description of everyone (mostly) finding out that will is the dark king bc he really has been on his own private free fall for this entire book. but now that he’s finally hit the ground, it’s a NASTY impact but at least it means he can eventually pick himself back up and move forward. eventually.

it cannot work between them until will’s identity is revealed and i love that will is keenly aware of that. these little betrayals in the form of their flirting are nothing compared to the betrayal of sleeping with james under false pretenses, and so he doesn’t even kiss him. i already cannot wait to see their arc continue in book 3

the moments of tension between these two throughout this book have truly been the highlight bc they’re simply ELECTRIC. and this moment really was the culmination of their opposite arcs: james separating himself from his past life and will desperately struggling to fight against his but never properly allowing himself to confront it because he’s doing it all by himself.

hearing the hand’s backstory about the true horror of sinclair/sarcean’s power of possession and then immediately starting the next chapter with will slinking away from camp to use that very same power??????? brutal
