" LET ME MARK THIS WITH A BIG SPOILER WARNING BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT TALK ABOUT THIS WITHOUT SPOILING THE ENTIRE NOVEL SO GO READ IT NOW BEFORE READING THIS! Did you read it? Good. NOW WE MAY BEGIN.

The POVs are split pretty evenly between Kit and D LET ME MARK THIS WITH A BIG SPOILER WARNING BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT TALK ABOUT THIS WITHOUT SPOILING THE ENTIRE NOVEL SO GO READ IT NOW BEFORE READING THIS! Did you read it? Good. NOW WE MAY BEGIN.

The POVs are split pretty evenly between Kit and Dru since those are the main two storylines happening but I want to discuss Dru’s first.

I love Drusilla Blackthorn. Have since TDA when she was just a kid and she is a kid no longer! She’s fully grown and she’s funny and is a good time to read. I was laughing during the entire scene where she was talking about taming cars with the faeries :)

Ash is giving me Varys or Littlefinger vibes. I feel like that’s such a weird crossover, but it’s that one character who I love as a character but do not trust at all. I want to see more of him and want to see what Dru remembers of their past that makes her not trust him so much. Not gonna lie, at the end when he was all “give me the crown” it was giving Disney villain and I want to see his motivation for wanting it.

Ash and Dru have such good interactions. They are hilarious and it really is the vibe of the audacity the guy has and the girlfriend who humbles him. I want to see all their interactions from the past and I’m also curious to see how their relationship will develop. (SPOILER ‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️⚠️) I’m also wondering what will happen now she knows he betrayed her somehow in the past and she bound him in cold iron. It’s giving the end of Wicked King with Jude and Cardan. (SPOILER ENDS ‼️)

Now for the other half of the story.

Kit Herondale…I love how he still is the most yearn-y Herondale to ever yearn. He’s come far from teenage Kit but his relationship with Johnny Rook haunts the narrative and his relationship with himself and being the First Heir is still ongoing. (SPOILER ‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️⚠️) now that he’s the King of Faerie, Mother Hawthorne makes it sounds like he’s going to lose his Shadowhunter to his faerie self and this starts happening at the end where Kit is behaving very differently from the Kit we know and love. When he kinda snaps out of it and starts to give it to Ash (before Dru stops him) would it have worked because Magnus makes it sound like once you’ve crowned yourself King of faerie YOU ARE KING regardless of if you have the crown or not. (SPOILER ENDS ‼️⚠️‼️⚠️)

Ty I also missed. I love his affinity for animals and I love seeing him and Livvy still being siblings. The necromatic bond with Livvy is worrying to me because I need Ty to be safe and I fear for his health in the next book.

Kit and Ty delivered. Their trip throughout Europe was absolutely adorable and their every interaction had me giggling and kicking my little feetsies. I’m fairly certain my soul left my body during the scene Ty figured out Kit’s powers. Also during archway scene. I feel so validated that they literally cannot keep themselves off/away from each other. (SPOILER ‼️⚠️‼️⚠️) I am worried for them because I feel like with Ty’s necromancy eroding him and Kit being the king will erode away what he is, they really will be, you know, STAR CROSSED…they also didn’t really discuss their parting. Like they started to argue about it at the end but then had to take care of plot stuff so that didn’t get resolved and I feel like the longer they avoid having this conversation the more it’s going to hurt when the actually do it).(SPOILER ENDS‼️⚠️‼️⚠️)

Favorite scenes out of order without any context. Kind of spoilery

Ty figuring out Kit’s powers, Dru talking about cars, Dru and Ash training with seraph blades, Thorndale under the arch,

NOW TO LET THESE THOUGHTS MARINATE TIL TLPOH! I need 5-10 business days to recover from this book I fear, but I will cope by rereading. :) ...more "

Eliz’s Quotes

“When I met you, I suddenly understood that I wasn’t fire at all. I was ice. Decades of living within this court had me crafting an unyielding, impenetrable façade that only your infuriating and downright excruciating presence has been able to crack.”
― Hazel McBride, A Fate Forged in Fire

“Our children never warn us that they’re thinking of growing up, one day they’re just too big to want to hold our hand, it’s just as well we never know when the last time is going to be or we’d never let go.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Winners

“See me. See me for who I am. I am magic. I am human. I am inhuman. See me. I am a boy. I am a girl. I am everything and nothing in between. See me. You do. You see me. You recoil in fear. You scream in anger. See me. I bleed. I ache. You see me, and you wish you hadn’t. You wish I was invisible. Out of sight, out of mind. Unseen, faded, muted. You want my color. You want my joy. You want a monochrome world with monochrome beliefs. You see me, and you want to take it all away. But you can’t. You want me lost, but I am found in the breaths I take, in the spaces between heartbeats. I am found because I refuse to be in black and white, or any shade of gray. I am color. I am fire. I am the sun, and I will burn away the shadows until only light remains. And then you will have no choice but to see”
― T.J. Klune, Somewhere Beyond the Sea
