“You have ruined my tongue for all other tastes”, and understood finally what that phrase meant.

that’s a good callback and I’m mad about it HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS GOOD AT WEAVING WORDS TOGETHER

‘The girls whom Skathis stole, their eliliths were pristine when he took them. Not so when he returned them. But since Letha ate their memories, that was all they knew of their time in the citadel— the vague blur of the ink on their bellies, and all that it implied.’

I lowkey appreciate the author for going with absolutely despicable behavior from the gods, this is grim

The writing is so good but I am also confused beyond belief because of all the names oops

This whole world so far is soooo vibrant and detailled. Laini rly is good at weaving a new world right before your very eyes. I’m still struggling to keep up with all the names and such (I always struggle with it so that’s not a problem specifically for this book) but I can’t deny the writing is lovely so far.

The way I turned into the blinking man meme when Thyon essentially stole a chunk of Lazlo’s childhood within a second. Wow.
