Yeah so this book is nasty? Terrible? Why tf am I reading this??? I’ve never DNF’d a book before, and I just finished watching Off Campus and wanted to read some cute hockey romance and since The Deal isn’t on KU I thought I’d read this just for fun… and it SUCKS

NOOOOO MATTHIAS 😭😭😭

“‘Do you really have a flying ship?’ blurted Jesper. ‘No.’ ‘Oh.’ ‘I have several.’ ‘Take me with you.’” Hahahahaha

“Then Nina giggled. ‘You are in so much trouble.’ Jesper scowled. ‘Matthias, Nina let Cornelis Smeet grope her bottom.’ Nina stopped laughing. ‘I am going to turn your teeth inside out.’ ‘That’s physically impossible.’” Lmaoooo I can’t 🤣

“Matthias told himself to be alert, to focus on getting them back to Black Veil safely, but he couldn’t stop thinking about that pale yellow pill. The sight of it had brought the dream back as vivid as ever, the ice of the north, Nina lost and Matthias powerless to save her. It had burned the unchecked joy of her kiss right out of him.” … okay now I’m scared of that pale yellow pill too

Matthias you’re killing meeee 🤣 “‘Matthias, do you need to sit down?’” Lollllll

“‘So, Kuwei, you’ll go to the Southern Colonies, and when the heat has died down, you can find your way to Ravka or Matthias’ grandmother’s house for all I care.’ ‘Leave my grandmother out of this,’ Matthias said.”
Lol

Nina, if your man still looks good with his hair buzzed… you better keep him lmao

Oh my gosh reading has been so hard for me right now for some reason (because I have a baby?) but I’ve got reading goals to get to, so I’m fixing that! Gonna finish this book within the week hopefully!

“They had an ordinary life, full of ordinary things—if love can ever be called that.” 🥹 10/10 ending

Holy sh*t, Bardugo. Why you gotta send my heart on a roller coaster like THAT?!

“I would murder the only person I’d ever loved and who had ever loved me. I’d dive back into battle wearing his bones.” AAAGGHHHH 😭💔

Zoya. Respectfully. STFU.

The Darkling is one HELLLLL of a villain holy sh*t.
“‘There will be nothing left,’ I whispered. ‘No,’ he said gently as he folded me in his arms. He pressed a kiss to the top of my hair. ‘I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but me.’” 🥲😭

“The oak I’d once climbed on a dare still stood, untouched by the fire that has taken Keramzin. Now its branches were full of bodies.” 🫠😰

Wait wut. WHAT. “‘It’s not the amplifier.’” WHAAAT.

Okay. What the F*CK?! Nikolaiiiiiiiiii

Baghra just casually dropping the biggest bit of family lore ever???? Morozova’s daughter?!

“‘Tell me, Alina,’ said the Darkling. ‘Has he claimed you yet?’ ‘Claimed me? Like a peninsula?’” Lol wut

Hahahaha Violet Sorrengail, who? Iykyk.

“‘Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing.’” Davidddd omgggg 🥺

“‘Remember me when you take your last look at Ravka as it slips beneath the horizon.’ She leaned in and whispered something to him. The King paled, and I saw real fear in his eyes. Genya drew back and said, ‘I hope the taste of me was worth it.’” Damn, don’t mess with Genya folks. She’s a mastermind.

I’m sorry— the Queen sobbing over the idea of her husband standing trial for sexual abuse of a servant is ridiculous. What b*tches these people are.

“I’d missed him.” Me too girl. “The way he talked. The way he attacked a problem. The way he brought hope with him wherever he went. For the first time in months, I felt the knot in my chest ease.” Oooooo

“I wouldn’t let him beat me before I’d had a chance to give him the fight he deserved.”

In regards to Tolya: “Mal considered this. ‘Maybe we can disguise him as a really big tree.’” Lol.

“‘You are on your knees,’ I said. ‘We are not negotiating.’” DAAAAMN GIRL

Did… did she just cattle brand a man??? DAMN girl.

“I grinned at the Apparat, letting exultation fill me. ‘A man so obsessed with holy fire should pay more attention to the smoke.’” 10/10. Gorgeous. No notes.
