“Her pet chimera just appeared next to me at dawn, bit me in the ass for looking like I was dozing off, and then vanished again—right back into the apartment. Just as Quinlan came out of her bedroom and opened the curtains to see me grabbing my own ass like a fucking idiot.
Do you know how sharp a chimera’s teeth are?”

“Your kind, Fallen, were made in Midgard by the Asteri. But the Fae, the shifters, and many others came from their own worlds. The universe is massive. Some believe it has no end. Or that our universe might be one in a multitude, as bountiful as the stars in the sky or the sand on a beach.”

Just out here trying to connect some dots since none of my irl friends will read these books 🥲

“The soap is right there,” she said, pointing to the stack directly at his eye level. “And yet you took down a box from the highest shelf?”
She could have sworn color stained his cheeks.

“I saw purple glitter.”
She blinked at him. “You thought it was a sex toy, didn’t you?”
He said nothing.
“You think I keep my vibrator in my linen closet?”

-`♡´- cc > acotar if u ask me


Elizabeth -`♡´-: "cc > acotar if u ask me"
I like Sarah's writing and CC but ACOTAR will always be my fave. Maybe because I read it first? But also because I find a lot of the themes in CC hard to get through (the cruelty, misery, slavery etc...). There's darker themes in ACOTAR too, but in CC they're so pervasive.


-`♡´- No, you’re right but I think that’s why I like it more. I also read acotar first! I just really enjoyed cc and the characters so much.

I'm normally not that easily bothered but something about these characters gets in my head 🙈. Some are so awful to each other. Like Maeve in TOG, but much worse because there's more of them? idk lol all these characters really have to earn their HEAs hey!?!

My absolute favourite part in CC is the (view spoiler) I had goosebumps 🥰. Which character is your favourite?

There definitely seems to be a more sinister / evil vibe in CC but the well earned HEAs make them even more beautiful/special IMO. Plus, I do think there is a fair amount of struggles and tribulations for the characters in acotar to get their HEAs too!

I love Bryce but Lidia (doesn't come til book 2) is prob my fav female character. and I love Ruhn and the guys he lives with.

Lidia is pretty great, I totally agree! I think I've forgotten a lot since my last read but I do remember her character arc really well 🩵
