Status Updates From When Shadows Burn

I think I found my new favorite book

HOW DARE HE SAY IT WAS ALL TO GET THE KNIFE FROM HER 🤬😤🤬😡😠😤😠😡🤬🤬😡😡😠😠😡🤬🤬🤬😡😠😠😡😡🤬😠😤😡🤬🤬😤😤😠😡

“She'd pulled him into a dream, one where he lived more years than he was ever promised and spent them all by her side.”

IMNOTCRYINGYOURECRYINGTHISISFINE

I’m sobbing in da club - “his brother had always, *always* saved him” 😭😭😭😭😭

“I’m so thankful you’re alive.” NOT RIGHT IN MY HEART AH. The resentful child/repentant parent duo always hits me right in the feels

NAUR NOT MY BABY BOYYYYY!! SAY HE SURVIVES VANESSA, SAY IT RN 😤😠

“Her enemy was herself—the part of her that could only find satisfaction in achievement if it was wrought from pain.”

Ouch 😭😭

"They need our sacrifice.
Without sacrifice, there is no scarcity. And without scarcity, there's no prestige."

This book hits a little too close to home being an ivy student 😭😭

As soon as they said there was a man with the King, I predicted the plot twist 🤦🏼‍♀️

The magic system in this book is so cool - hemokinesis is awesome and is so underutilized in fantasy! It’s a main magic in my own book 🩸

“Neither of them had ever quite learned how to let go of something that was hurting them.”

😭😭😭 as an Ivy League student, I intimately understand this struggle re school

"Don't do that, Song," Kiet said softly.
"Don't use other people as excuses for why you work yourself to death. It's ... it's not fair to them."

I’m glad someone finally said it - and it’s so true too
