" stupid goodreads didn’t save my first review. i don’t care what you think of the author or even the book and the character but holy shit was this good. so many twists and turns that i couldn’t see coming and left me in shock. THAT ENDING HOLY MOTHER stupid goodreads didn’t save my first review. i don’t care what you think of the author or even the book and the character but holy shit was this good. so many twists and turns that i couldn’t see coming and left me in shock. THAT ENDING HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. im gonna need a few business days to recover. (big thanks to the person who ruined the ending for me. even if i could still see it coming it was such a good book and i don’t regret reading this one bit).

XADEN AND VIOLET: the tension, the back and forth AHHH someone just give them a happy ending. but i loved that they fought. it’s good. it’s healthy all couples fight. and Violet hold out her end like she stood up to xaden and i loved that. there are five books in this series so im low-key scared what’s gonna happen to them in the next few books cause with everything that has already happened to them wow.

THE SQUAD: i wasn’t happy when Violet had to ignore the squad to protect them but i know why she did it. Even if it kinda backfired. That’s what i love about Violet is that she’s flawed like she’s not perfect and far from it she makes mistakes. I love the banter and the bond that she has with sawyer ridoc and rhiannon. And even Sloane! Sloane was so funny i honestly loved her she kinda reminded me of Andarna. I love how Imogen and Quinn and everyone else became such good friends. It was beautiful but gods someone give them a break because i can’t stand this pain. Three books to come who knows what’s gonna happen.

THE DRAGONS: once again tairn was so so good. and teenage andarna was so so funny. we do not eat our allies. i have so many quotes from the dragons highlighted they were such a laugh but also very serious when it came to the battle.

i could speak about this book for ages. so much that i never saw coming. the ending for one !!!!! i need the next book like TOMORROW. i hate the waiting. now i will not be accepting any rude or mean comments pls keep your opinions to yourself and if you have nothing nice to say than don’t say anything at all. it’s sad that we’ve come to this and that we’re judging each others reading but here we are. i cannot wait for the next book and now im gonna go cry and process this book in the corner. ...more "

“You're pining," said Jace.
Alec shrugged. "Look who's talking. 'oh I love her. Oh, she's my sister. Oh why, why, why—”

“No killing,” Jordan said. “We’re trying to make you feel peaceful, so you don’t go up in flames. Blood, killing, war, those are all non-peaceful things. Isn’t there anything else you like? Rainforests? Chirping birds?”

“Weapons,” said Jace. “I like weapons.”

“I’m starting to think we have a problematic issue of personal philosophy here.”

Jace leaned forward, his palms flat on the ground. “I’m a warrior,” he said. “I was brought up as a warrior. I didn’t have toys, I had weapons. I slept with a wooden sword until I was five. My first books were medieval demonologies with illuminated pages. The first songs I learned were chants to banish demons. I know what brings me peace, and it isn’t sandy beaches or chirping birds in rainforests. I want a weapon in my hand and a strategy to win.”

Jordan looked at him levelly. “So you’re saying that what brings you peace … is war.”

“Now you get it.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“I did not make a pair, for three reasons.
1- because I don't know how to make a pie
2- because I don't have ingredients to make a pie
And three?
Because I'm not your bitch”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire
