Status Updates From Goldenhand (Abhorsen, #5)

“I’m glad you’re alive!”
“Me too!” shouted Ferin. She waved her leg out over the edge of the moat. “They cut my foot off! But I am Athask! I still shoot straight. Straighter than you!”

(Ferin is like a semi-feral cat 😂)

[Nick] hesitated for a moment, then released only Lirael’s golden hand, keeping her left hand tight in his right and moving to stand next to her. It was a very public statement of how he felt. Lirael edged slightly closer to him, accentuating this from her point of view as well.

(Cuties 🥰🥰)
