No longer crying. Holy crap I love Zahra and Shaan

I need to stop reading books where one of the most important plot points is a character losing their father suddenly and at such a young age…

Ah… so *that’s* the bad thing…

“He wants to set himself on fire, but he can’t afford for anyone to see him burn.”

Poetry

“Sorry. I'm panicking. I somehow forgot this was a thing looming on the horizon. I'm there for whatever you decide you want to do, just, like, let me know if I need to start practicing gazing wistfully out the window, waiting for my love to return from the war.”

HE’S SO REAL OMG

Okay so Henry has just given Alex his signet ring, saying he was “a thousand percent sure.” But I’ve still got like 30% of the book left so… what else is gonna go wrong between them? 💧

“My life is the crown and yours is politics, and I will NOT trade one prison for another.” You’re telling me this beautiful line is only in the movie version of that scene? Insane. I’m not disappointed—like it still left me dizzy—but damn.

Good lord. You know a book’s good when it makes you feel like you’ve just heard a firework explode and you’ve got that feeling of residual pounding in your head from the sheer volume and force.
