die tomorrow not today tomorrow

It’s taken me a while to finish this but it was good I liked it. Didn’t wow me didn’t really do much. There were some beautiful phrases in here occasionally.

“I buried Jalaine next to Sylvey just as she had asked.”

“There is magic in everything, only you must watch for it. It does not come from spells or potions or the sky, not by special delivery of the gods. It is all around you.”

“Hold on to me, Kazi. Let me show you the stars.”

“Hold on to me, Kazi. I’ve got you. I won’t let go.”
“I know, Jase. I know.”

“The moon was a sharp scythe in the sky, smoky orange against a backdrop of stars. A reaping moon. Not enough light to expose us. We were shadows, trees, an army of spectres that were there, but not there at all.”

“Please. Come back. Please. Let me die.”

“A thousand times over, Kazi. I would marry you more than a thousand times over.”

“She didn’t make it. Jalaine is dead.”

“And Kazi is my wife!”

“Die tomorrow, Kazi, for everyone’s sake, die tomorrow. Not today.”

“I felt like a miserable summer dog covered with fleas.”

“The magic of the stars. Desire. An element thrown to earth by the gods themselves that can reach into everything that exists and understand its need- what drives it. It imprints on whatever it touches. Grow, eat, burn, hunt, explode, conquer.”

“Beaufort had offered the continent to me… while Phineas offered me the universe.”

“As soon as he can. Jase will come as soon as he can.”

“Magic, I say. It is some sort of magic.”

“it was more than just progress he wanted. That while he hated Jase, some part of him wanted to be Jase. Power was only part of it. He wanted to be loved, the way Jase had been loved. The way Jase was still loved.”

“Kerry of Fogswallow.”

“Deeper, I thought, cut deep. I wanted to die. I wanted to sink to the floor and disappear.

Tomorrow, Kazi, die tomorrow.”

“You can do it, Kazi. Go with the current.”
“Not without you, Jase. Not without you.”

“I recognised one of the voices.
It belonged to Paxton.”

“Jade walked through the door as naked as a peeled orange.”

“I’m sorry.”

Ok finishedd. Yanno what much more interesting than the prequel series I hope the second book is better 4 stars.

“Jase, Kazi, anyone,
Come! Please! Samuel is dead.
They’re banging the door.
I have to—“

“My tomorrows are yours, Jase. I want them all to be with you.”

“I named her Aster. The saving angel.”

“She miscarried her first child, and now she’s expecting again.”

“I guess I was wrong. He’s not alone out there after all.”

“the look in her eyes—it wasn’t hatred—I watched something in her die. Us.”
