Status Updates From The Serpent King

“If he could be still enough, all the world’s motions would cease. The orbit of the Earth. The dance of tides. The march of rivers to sea. Blood in veins. And all would become nothing but her perfect and temporary thereness.”

“She’s it. She’s everything. She’s the standard by which I’ll judge beauty for the rest of my life. I’ll measure every touch to her breath on my skin. Every voice to her voice. Every mind to her mind. My measure of perfection. The name carved into me. If I could, I would lie with her under these stars until my heart burst.”

It’s been a LONG time since a book has made me cry

Punch to the gut.

Wow this is sad

“He hadn’t realized how long his heart had ached with a low-frequency hum until the ache melted away at that moment.”

ok so chapter 30 has been my favorite so far 💔 very impactful. everything leading up to now has done a great job making this meaningful.

Page 2 and there’s already romance yay!

“It would have been worse except for the excitement of seeing Lydia. The worst days spent with her were better than the best days spent without her.”
