‘She tells herself not to be afraid. She looks at Richlin. The sergeant’s no older than she is, no bigger really, no stronger. But Rio Richlin stands there, leaning against the hull like she’s waiting for a bus. She looks almost bored.’

Re-read!!!!! My current read is sending me into a slump so I needed to switch it up with a book I know I like.

The first chapter gave me chills. I fear this book is going to make me sob :(

“Do you know how easy it is, Fitz, to follow a man you believe in?”

He looked up at last to meet my eyes.

STOP IT RN this is so sweet

I love Verity but I fear he’s going to be killed off this book and I’m not happy about it 😭

‘Ellen was kind and practical and although she would flirt with men it never went beyond a certain point…’

This feels like something only a male author would write about a female character as they are trying to get the reader to like her. Why is it a merit to her character that it never goes beyond a certain point? Giving benefit of the doubt that we’re in the head of an 18th-century man.

I keep reading aeëtes like ‘ateez’ like the k-pop group… there’s actually no hope for me someone take my phone away plz.
