sorry guys my epub has no pages so updates are hard BUT we are SO BACK with this read

who goes on a date to the rainforest cafe as a senior in high school?

haven’t read YA romance in a minute…feels weird to picture the 18 y/o MMC as hot

“what do you live for? is it for me? is it for family and love? or is it for some dream?”
“it’s not just some dream, darrow. i live for the dream that my children will be born free.”
“i live for you.”
“then you must live for more.”

“People have an emotional response to something, then they come up with an argument for why it logically makes sense,”
“I don’t think that’s smart,”
“Oh, I didn’t say it was smart—I just said it was true.

“It’s a terrible thing to know everything about someone long after you want to.”

“Everyone deserves to have someone fight for them, even—and especially—when they’re unable to fight for themselves.”

“she would not let that light go out. she would fill the world with it, with her light—her gift. she would light up the darkness, so brightly that all who were lost or wounded or broken would find their way to it, a beacon for those who still dwelled in that abyss.”

whoopsies i’ve been bad at updating, but life happens and unfortunately gets in the way of my reading time. still loving my reread though, obv

“you didn’t need a weapon at all when you were born one.”

rereading. fav series. y’all know the drill.

“you’re a damned idiot. you’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot. because i’d pick you.”

all i know is pain and suffering

“Had it been some god who had visited tonight, clothed in the skin of a battered young woman? Or had it merely been their distant whispers that prompted the stranger to walk down that alley? She would never know, she supposed. And maybe that was the whole point.”

“it was such a sam look, the twinkle of mischief, the hint of exasperation, the kindness that would always, always make him a better person than she was.”

rereading this quite literally a form of self harm

“I am death. And you, Sidra…you are life.”
“Does that mean we cannot exist as one?”
“It means that without you, I am nothing.”

a tad slow going i must admit. even for me.

“You once told me that the world needs people like Tipp out there in it, that he’s wasted in here. I’d argue that the same is true about you.”

“‘But, Papa, the endings are the best part.’ ‘Sometimes, sweetheart. But other times, the beginnings are.’”

“because i know what you are, celaena.”

“you have power in you, prince. more power than you realize. when the time comes, when it awakens, do not be afraid.”

“i know you can look after yourself. but i worry because i care. gods help me, i know i shouldn’t, but i do. so i will always tell you to be careful, because i will always care what happens.”

“sometimes i think they brought me here. not to marry perrington, but for another purpose. they want to use me.”

the foreshadowing goes crazy in these earlier books it’s so fun
