“I feel like a pawn—a puppet, pulled by fate’s strings.”In brief, do yourself a favor and grab this series. Lot of rambling and quotes if you keep reading my review 😅.
“But that’s just it. Fate might be guiding you, but all the choices you’ve made? Those were your own.”
I’d been a punching bag for so long that she thought I was soft. That I wouldn’t sink to Mother’s level. My face lit with a feral grin. Hope she likes surprises.There’s no way to stop the war between Splendor and Taramur now. So they must find a way to win at all cost.
“Fate is dealing you an interesting hand, Isla. It has led you this far and I have enery faith that it will see you through.”But Victoria has never been more powerful, and the caeli and terra resources (the ones that allow magic to exist) are growing dangerously low in Taramur.
I was made to bring Mother down. But it did leave one giant question mark behind. Would I still be alive at the end of it?Ok, first things first… I don’t forgive you Lissa! 😭
I was like a shaken can of soda—and when I blew, it wouldn’t be pretty.The only thing keeping her from the abyss is Rik, our beloved Sovereign of Taramur (#TeamRik).
A boy said a few nice words and I turned into a pile of goo. This was not good for my badass persona.Their relationship is growing stronger, but the battles in their immediate future won’t be easy.
Would men ever learn that women didn’t like their words thrown back at them? Especially with air quotes?I loved Eve, but I couldn’t help the feeling that she was Sarah’s replacement, and I didn’t like that.
“Why me?”Still, I’m just being picky. I loved this book, and the whole saga. It goes to my favorites and I got a deep love for most of the characters, particularly Rik. And same as Rik goes to fight on the top of my book boyfriends list, Iz is going to my book best friends one. And, of course, Lissa to my favorite authors.
“I think a lot of people have asked that question over the centuries,” he said. “There’s not really a textbook answer, except that some are sent a call and it is their choice wheter or not to answer it.”
Cool. Didn’t know it was that easy, I’ll just let this one go to voicemail…
I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re like one of those book boyfriends.”I won’t give it five stars, but I read this book in the middle of a huge time crisis (meaning I had zero time for reading), so it took me months to read it and I believe I would have enjoyed it even more if I had been able to read it faster. I feel the need to clarify that the book, and the whole series honestly, is a fast and fun read normally. I took too long, it was not a problem with the book.
He looked up at me over his mug. “What’s a book boyfriend?”
“You know. The perfect boyfriend, as written about in books. Exactly how every girl imagines their boyfriend to be, but it’s so unrealistic that nobody actually expects to have one in real life.”
He grunted.
I needed the damn key. How do I get a key? If only there were a way that I could make one appear in my hand… Ha. I’m an idiot.
