okay i wanted to read this but it’s just not interesting me rn so goodbye for now….

this is very interesting so far

i was skeptical at first bc i kinda wanted to read something else but after 60 pages im now kinda immersed

i think ari & merlin are my favorite so far

“This universe needs help, Ari! Mercer is clearly cancerous, and people are suffering. King Arthur is destined to defeat threats to peace and unite all of mankind.” (64)

can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

“Get a message to the crow club,” she said. “Tell Kaz Brekker the queen of Ravka has a job for him.” (588)

okay there’s my only update i swear i actually read this i was just enjoying it

okay my bad guys i literally finished this may 1st & just never updated… i loved this book though it was so good!!!! nina & hanne 🩵 (rip matthias fr this time) i also got invested in nikolai & zoya more than i thought i would and they’re very fun

4 STARS ⭐️ bc matthias should’ve resurrected himself and this is bc of the emotional damage of “he was never here.” wtf!!! 😭

“Call me Grisha. Call me zowa. Call me death, if you like.” (46)

“Is that why you’re here?”
“I’m here to bury you, Matthias.”
(40)

everytime matthias speaks to her i actually feel like i just got stabbed

“Blink last. Make it one more day.
My shoulders shivered with his chill. I had always thought those were my words, but they were his. They had been his all along. I remembered the fear that gripped me that long-ago night. His whisper. His challenge for to me to stay alive.
I felt his fear now. Or maybe it was his anger.
Make it one more day.” (347)

i havent been quoting stuff bc i’ve been so into this omggg

“I had only cultivated a few months' worth of hatred for him. Kazi had eleven years. Her anger trumped mine by a long shot.
Zane would be left for Kazi After she got her answers.” (19)

“You don’t want the weight of us, but consider where that leaves you. Consider that chaos favors imbalance.” (546)

once again i pray to tracy deonn, give me da throuple or i will die

“Nick reaches out first, right hand grasping Sel's shoulder, pulling him closer over the table, sliding to cup the nape of Sel's neck. Sel's right hand mirrors his and then they are forehead to forehead, eyes squeezed shut, breathing each other's air for the first time in months.” (459)

this is just that one image w the caption “it’s not gay bro i saw it in arcane” 😭😭

“No, I don’t want you to go.”
“Was honesty so hard?”

“Someone the chapter trusted was opening local Gates purposefully in advance of the campus attack, and even during the events of the ogof y ddraig. Someone who has betrayed our Order. We believe that traitor is Selwyn Kane.” (85)

I KNOW YOU DID NOTTTTT

mariah & patricia ❤️

guys if i keep saying “throuple” do you think it’ll manifest nick/bree/sel into existence cause im manifesting HARD

“But one purpose, one dream reigns above all others. Do you know what that is, Bree?”
“No.”
“We ran . . . so you would not have to.” (5)

i love william he’s so baba

nick come back ur boyfriend & girlfriend miss you 😭😭

if this doesn’t end in a throuple i might actually phase through the earth into the depths of hell

AND if william dies… tracy deonn count ur days.

“We are in the cave again. We take one step and we are already at the stone. We grasp the ancient hilt, warm under our fingers. We pull Excalibur free.” (471)

“You are my king now, cariad.” (487)

i genuinely have no words this was so good.

i feel like “who are you, really?” by mikky ekko fits this book so well UGH

honestly a solid 4.5 for me 🤭

“‘Probably why I fell in love with him.”
“I was thirteen. I’m well over it. And everyone falls in love with Nicholas, Bree—it’s part of his insufferable charm. There’s so much baggage between Nicholas and me; there was never going to be room enough for anything else to grow.”(355-356)

this is so “i’m not in love with you anymore.”
“i didn’t know you ever were.”

nick/bree/sel.. pls.

“How would you like me to carry you? What would please you, Page Matthews?”
“Piggyback.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
“Like that movie—“
“Shut up.”
“Churlish.”
“Arrogant.”
(249)

“You nervous, B?”
“No.”
“Do I make you nervous?”
(208)

WOAH WOAH WOAH calm down guys!

i literally had to put my book down and look around the room like is anyone else seeing this 😭

“‘You have a silver tongue, mystery girl.’ A pause. ‘I feel a sudden urge to tear it out.’” (192)

i can’t wait til bree is proven to NOT be a shadowborn and sel is just like “oh. 😟”
