"I feel we needn't bother looking at faces to find this man, Din! Just keep an eye out for the fellow with testicles large enough to cause back deformities, and we shall have our culprit!"

well said Ana

this book is so goofy

"She’d always been rather proud of her hair, having grown it herself, as it were."

"Kaže se kako je prazan život smrtnika bez Božje ljubavi. Da pokornost Njemu ublažava bol rana uzrokovanih samoćom, jer u služenju Bogu pronalazimo savršenu ljubav i postajemo cijeli.

Ali ako je Bog Otac, Sin i Duh Sveti, ako se Trojstvo sastoji od trojice u jednome, onda Bog o samoći ne zna ništa."

kinda goofy and the story is all over the place, but the humor is hitting it for me

"A robot wrapped in human DNA with daddy issues."

"The Lord’s Prayer.
The captain died trying to steer me into the sun while playing a religious chant on repeat.
Excellent."

"Goblin Engineer. Level 3.
Engineers. The incels of the goblin world. They have a hard time finding a date, which makes them extra angry. If there are any females in your party, they will attack them first."

"“The future—she was looking forward to it very much.”

—AUNT OF ONE OF THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY VICTIMS, 1978"

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world…

Ephesians 6:12"

the first chapter has definitely intrigued me🧐

"That’s the problem with all those well-meaning people who try to comfort you by telling you that everything’s okay, you’re home now, and the war’s over, as if you’re an idiot who can’t read a newspaper and see that an armistice has been declared. It’s like telling someone that Greece is over, or England, or Russia. It’s nonsensical. Places aren’t ever over, except maybe Pompeii."

"Nevertheless, I do not believe that God cares where you worship Har. The prayers of the dying on the mud of the battlefield and the pleas of the fearful hiding in cellars must surely ascend just as quickly as those uttered under the light of stained glass. More quickly, if there is justice in the universe."

"“How many medals do you have in a box somewhere, Lieutenant?”
“Too many. They mostly don’t hand those out for being brave, just for being too foolish to run away.”"

"When you talked to Bors for very long, you realized that he was slow, and if I had meant stupid I would have said that instead. Bors had a mind like a lava flow. It took a long time to get where it was going, but there was no stopping it. I quite liked him."

"I’m keeping is what we say in Gallacia to any such inquiry, and it covers such a broad range as to convey no information whatsoever. It can mean “I am filled with unspeakable joy, my gout is cured, and angels attend my every step,” or it can mean “a bear just ripped my leg off and I am, at this moment, bleeding out, but please don't make a fuss." Either way, you're keeping."

""He's not going to leave me. He dumped all those other women because he hadn't found the right one."
"You think you're the one?"
"I know for sure that you weren't.""

""I was never your best friend. I was your work friend. And the fact that you don't know the difference? That's your whole problem right there.""

broooo why are you still kicking her while she's downnnn🥲

the classic betrayal of the ex-boyfriend and best friend smooching👌

"There’s a heavy pause as the awkwardness settles in. I sure as fuck don’t want Hallie waiting on me and I don’t think my friends do either."

"There’s a long pause because no one wants her waiting on us. She should be hanging out with us."

am i the weird one for seeing nothing embarassing about waitressing???

"“Do any of these draw your eye? Do you see anything that you’d like to wake up to every morning?”
Waiting for his response, I pull my attention from the books to him.
Only to find him already looking at me."

such a cliche but it works every time lol🤓

'smack in the middle of' is such an odd phrase to repeat that it's just so noticeable to me. twice is a coincedence but four times is just odd lol😀

i'm kinda not loving the flip-floping between love and "hate"🫣

""I don't give a shit if she's hot. I'm not lookin' to get my dick wet. I need to get shit done around the shop that I don't like doin'," he snickered. "How hard is it to find a reliable bitch to help out around here?""

oh lovely, what every woman wants to hear🤓

"It’s been seven days today since I first met Sam Penny and I can confirm with absolute certainty that I am completely in love with him."

even though this statement is crazy, the relationship is weirdly well developed lol

what do you mean he's barefooted all the time - the official explanation is his australian lol???(i'm loving this so far tho🤭)

"“Here’s what I think.” And I sit up to tell him. “People read the Bible
wrong. It’s a diary of normal people, like us, from thousands of years ago,
trying to make sense of the God they’d heard of from their ancestors. They
didn’t write it for us to read it now. And I think people read it without the
true social or historical context, and they bring their own instead.”"

very much feeling the slump, so i'm forcing myself and not enjoying it🫩

"how cruel i was to myself. giving you credit for my warmth simply because you had felt it. thinking it was you who gave me strength. wit. beauty. simply because you recognized it. as if i was already not these things before i met you. as if i did not remain all these once you left."

kinda nothing is happening

i really liked all the jimenez books so far, but i don't think this type of humor(the mustard jokes, the rhysand mentions and just overall tiktokness of it all) is for me. it's just putting me in even more of a slump and i don't want to read something i'm not enjoying
“Did you just call my cat mid?”
“Mustard doesn’t ask silly questions. Mustard understands.”
“He even looks like him. Like if Rhys were human

"There is nothing more dangerous than a bargain. No greater horrors than those you choose. No worse fate than one you beg for."
