She ran her finger around the inside of his waistband, laughed. “Velvet-lined?” He licked her lower lip. “They’re Conor’s.”

Help all I could think of was velvet covered steel lmaooo (Sjm's influence and all that)

“I am not,” Kel insisted, “going to be part of your team.” Ji-An pointed the blade at him again. “He won’t cooperate,” she said to the Ragpicker King.(TRK) “You might as well let me kill him. He has a killable face.”
Why is TRK (yes I'm gon call him that) giving lowkey Kaz vibes tho? (The whole building a team trope) Also Jian is a hardcore baddie and I am so here for it.

“Ji-An, dear,” said the Ragpicker King. “You are an expert at killing people. It’s why I employ you. But I am an expert at knowing people. And this one will come back.” He made a small, shooing gesture with his scarred fingers, in Kel’s direction. “Go on. Get out. Or I might start to think you enjoy my company.”

Me- it's fun to read about morally gray chars who are charming.
My bff- Are they gay? 🤡

a very tall, very slender man dressed in black; this man’s clothes were rich and expensive looking, from his velvet frock coat to the blackthorn cane. He goes round all in black, like Gentleman Death come to take your soul, and his carriage wheels are stained with blood. “Yes,” Kel said. “You’re the Ragpicker King.”

Yes. Why is he so fine. (This description is hardly half of what was given in the book). 10/10 rating

Lin had struggled to convince the elders of the Sault that she, a woman, should be allowed to learn medicine. They had finally permitted it, not
believing she would pass the physician's exam
It still gave her pleasure to remember that her
scores had been higher than those of any of the
male students.

Please I love this girl like hello academic validation is my one true love and doing it out of spite... You go girl!

The world seemed to darken before Lin’s eyes. She took a deep breath, her small hands knotting into fists—

By the Angel, if Cassie writes this one down as
thin and small and tiny fr imma lose interest smh enough of it 😭

The synopsis: As long-kept secrets begin to unravel, they must ask themselves: ls knowledge worth the price of betrayal? Can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will their discoveries plunge their nation into war-and the world into chaos?
No one: ...
Cassandra clare: There is only one trope that exists in romance- Forbidden love 🤡 So unique cuz she's never used this trope before*coughs*

“Lin is a physician,” Mariam said. "She cured your gout last fall, did she not?” “It still comes back sometimes,” he said sourly. “Every time I eat pheasant.” Which I told you not to do, Lin thought.

My girl Lin has my support(me being a med student myself) she's a physician and I already love her. Iconic women in Stem (or whatever it would be called in dystopian fantasy).

I'm sorry." Not looking the least bit
sorry, Dom Lafont- a nervous little man
with black-rimmed spectacles perched on a
warty nose- shook his head. "It isn't possi-
ble."

Me- This man is named Dom.😭
Bff- What is it short for?
Me- Y do u think I feel it's cringe, it's just Dom, which btw I can't help associating with few toilet cleaner brands (Dominic and Domex) 🤡

Mayesh said, “the suggestion is that the daughter, like her mother the Queen, will one day also be a great beauty.” “Is she not one now?” Conor took the paper from Mayesh. “Red hair,” he said. “I loathe red hair. Besides. Sarthe.”

Ngl Cassie saying this hits different for once... Conor seems reasonable
Also my best friend-What the fuck is a Mayesh?
Me- more like a whitened fantasy version of Mahesh 🤡
