''It was more like there was a sliver of space between him and the outside world and she had unassumingly filled it, less like a piece fitting into the vacancy of another and more like liquid being poured into a cup''

Gonna dnf? I don't know man, what a nuisance, first book was elite wtf happened from book 2?

''There had never been a choice, not for me. From the first moment I'd seen her at the parade, my fate had been sealed. I loved her, despite everything. Despite the lies, the betrayal, the hurt. I didn't know if she returned that love, and I didn't care. If she was destined to burn in hell, I would burn with her.''

Ugh he's down so bad for her, I can only imagine the pain of double betrayal from Lou and Archbishop

-I took an oath to hunt witches, to hunt YOU!
-You, Reid, also made an oath to me. I am your wife.
-You are not my wife.

YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE
YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE
YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE

Cut the scene. Shut the front door. Get the hell out of my face. NAH THIS CAN'T BE REAL. MY BIGGEST CRASHOUT OF 2026 WTFFFF

Poor Lou😭 one and only person she's ever believed and lived turned his back on her. NAH THE BETRAYAL!!!

Help Lou and Reid are already in love with each other, but they don't know it yet. Reid just called her "my little heathen" so disgustingly cute

''I looked around at the worshippers once more - the men and women who pleaded for mercy and cried for my blood on the same breath. How could both be in their hearts?''

Hypocrisy of those who do whatever evil they want behind the mask of a religion

Louise is the best character ever! Gosh I just love her and Reid's banter, she's so badass. She won't have any of that patriarchal oppression masked as religion! She's the best, I hope she can make Reid see some truth as well and I hope that Archbishop bitch just dies coughing blood! Disgusting dog

''Remember, love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love''

I feel so bad for Theo, I see myself in him🫤

I feel freaking empty inside wtf😭 it's so sad the way Cal and Mare had to split up, they still love each other😭😭 but they have different aims and causes to serve why Victoria why😭

And wtf did they just kidnap Maven to Montfort?? What are Farley and Davidson even doing, kidnapping a prisoner who's hours away from execution? That's 200 more pages of agony for me i guess

Anabel and Iris are cooking up some conspiracy behind Cal and Maven. I can feel it and I don't like it

''《I thought of you before the end》he says, 《I saw your face in the water》

And I see his corpse again, suspended before me, dappled by the shifting light of a churning sea. Afloat, at the mercy of a foreign tide.''

Shut the front door😫 I'm crumbling and breaking apart, they are finally reunited after 300+ pages of separation, pain and yearning

Me, throughout the whole book: ''WTF, Anabel???'' That old hag is so full of conspiracies and tricks, she never runs out of them what the actual hell? Trading with unborn children's fate like this is nothing, what is wrong with her? That's just so disgusting. Going behind Cal. On top of that, with Julian???

''I would never call loving someone else a weakness. I think living without love at all, any kind of love, is weakness. And the worst kind of darkness''

Oh Kilorn, I'm sorry for hating you in the beginning...

<<'I love you' is a promise we both made, and we both broke. It should mean I choose you above all else. I want you more. I need you always. I cannot live without you. I will do anything to keep our lives from parting.

But he wouldn't. And I won't.

I am less than his crown, and he is less than my cause>>

I am in actual agony because of their break up, help

The whole chain of events is a joke at this point because what do you mean Cal has been talking to his grandma this whole time? What do you mean him and Evangeline is gonna engaged again? What do you mean Cal agreed to this, he's gonna leave Mare? Or he doesn't know that his grandma is making bargains on his name? Literally wtf is happening????

Little Clara is born now🥹 such a small yet significant spark of life and happiness amidst the chaos and bloody war and yay ''it'' happened lol, Finally Cal and Mare realized and SHOWED e/o how much they love e/o.
P.s. Please stop with Evangeline chapters, I wanna read nothing from her POVs, such an evil witch

Shut up shut shutttt uppppp. Evangeline? Helping Mare? Asking to spare Ptolemus's life? Shut up and wake me up from this nightmare because that can't be happening oh my goodness, I knew that snake was up to something

''Cal was raised to war the same way you were raised to machines. But you don't want to go back to the factory, do you?''

Man, I could never be that understanding and witty, Julian is so thoughtful and smart

''Yes, long live the king! Tiberias the Seventh! Long live the King!''

The gasp i gasped😲 That was so savage and hurtfully true. That Haven woman was so brave to say it as she's literally a few minutes away from execution. Maven, a king who literally stole the throne, making his brother flee for his life, deserves even worse than this! Even his own court hates him and wants him dead, so miserable!

''If I could speak, I would tell Cal that I'm sorry, that I love him, that I need him. But the wind and the drop steal my breath away. I have no more words. His touch is achingly familiar, one hand at my neck, imploring me to look at him. Like me he can't speak. But I hear his apology all the same, and he understands mine. We see nothing but each other. There is nothing but his eyes. Even in darkness, they glow.''

''Once I thought I knew Cal's heart, but now I realised that it's impossible no heart can ever be truly understood. Not even your own''

Please I'm so sad, I'm so scared for Cal and Mare's relationship

But he’s a warrior, not a politician or a criminal. He doesn’t have the ability to manipulate anyone, least of all me. It’s just not in his nature.
''He’s Silver, Mare. You don’t know what he’s capable of, or what he really wants.”

Oh please, don't let those words age like milk. Don't tell me Cal is somehow manipulative like his sadistic brother. I already hate Maven with all my heart, don't make me hate Call too

This book, this series is a prison, the one I've willingly walked into. Wherever Mare looks, she's faced with betrayal, hurt, loss and despair. It's not even YA at this point, it's a very adult fantasy with a massive trauma dump

''-And she’ll kill all of us if we let her.
-Not if I kill her first.
-When the time comes, he says, staring at me, we’ll flip a coin.''
Hearing this from Cal, gosh, true, he's killed people, he knows thousand ways to kill a person but he's never been the violent type, he's never enjoyed killing people. That rage, that hatred in his heart was planted by Maven and snake Elara

My poor Cal. Yes, he made so many wrong decisions but it was because of his father. Now that his father's dead, his brother's betrayed him and he is labelled a traitorous prince, he has nothing to live and hope for. Except Mare. The girl who's used him, lied to him and betrayed him many times, the girl he truly loves. He still listens to her, does as she says and even agreed to imprisonment. Can he catch a break???

''Anyone can betray anyone''
Maven you freaking liar, coward, disgusting piece of crap.
Poor Cal, what he went through in just a matter of seconds because of his step-mother and Maven. Maven, whom he loved and trusted as his brother. How on Earth are they gonna get out of this mess now?

No, no, no, please Cal. What the hell are you doing??? I cant believe he would let Mare, the girl he loves and Maven, his literal brother, die just to stay loyal to his stupid father and the stupid regime. Cal, you freaking know what your father is doing is wrong, you know it's not right, what the hell???
