I know I shouldn't but I am skimming this because I just want to know how this ends. Sue me.

"Daemon closed his eyes. Did she fear nothing? Not even madness?"

I was okay with their dynamic until this last chapter. It's slightly uncomfortable and I am confused by the age selection for Witch.

“What is more lovely, after all, than a monster undone with want?”

I am obsessed with this story and its prose.

“What is more lovely, after all, than a monster undone with want?”

“Desire makes idiots of all of us. But you already knew that part, didn't you?”

“This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession. I suppose both are a sort of gentle violence, putting down in ink what scorches the air when spoken aloud.”

this is so whimsical and haunting

“The girl means everything to us, Prince, and she means nothing to you.”

This is the first point I feel like we are finally getting a cohesive story going

"She didn’t try to be mysterious, she simply was. She walked in full sunlight shrouded in a midnight mist that swirled around her, hiding, revealing, tantalizing, frightening."

come on...we KNOW who created these monstrous creatures!!!

I am going to need heroines to stop opening locked doors because something beckoned her

"I still loved you, even as this."

THE YEARNING

A lovely voice. A voice that could wash over a man and heal deep wounds of the heart.

This is the slowest book I have ever read (like a single chapter a night) and I can't decide if I am enamored with it or actually despise it. I have never been more conflicted.

"My morals tell me I should not give in. That despite the fact that I can feel your blood as it runs through your veins, I have to ignore it. But it calls to me like a song. It begs for me to get a taste. Your heart beats for me. And being in your presence, the idea of tasting your flesh again, it's driving me insane."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 This is the low stakes kinda romantasy I so needed

“The villain only becomes such after he’s lost that which he cannot live without.” preachhhh

If this is going to philosophical bullshit the entire story again...I am out. It was eye rolling in college and it is still eye rolling here.

what the...no I hate this.

“It is true, he has suffered, but if everyone who suffered became monsters, the world would be overrun with them.”

how dare we apply logic here lol

WHAT ...how did I miss that!

How will she rationalize getting off with a killer? 👀

"She was like gravity. The moon goddess herself controlling my tide. Then she became the spider. And she spun me right into her web of pain."

If you are not obsessed I am not interested.

I am absolutely gutted for Terren.

“I am beginning to suspect, that you are not afraid enough of me.”

damn, savage boy

I am stuck on "I borrowed from the future" from the grandfather emperor. what did he do?

"Simply, he believed that he had been born to be her lover."

!!! swoon

I do not think we are rooting for Terren
