Hawkes 🥹💕

“Some things must wring out every last ounce before the end. But your mettle is proven, Miss Lion. You will be weighed and not found wanting. Memories are preserved, sacrifices are honoured, and all the moments before half-open windows are known. In the end, all is mended.”

🥺

“They might not be of the Old Testament variety—Pierce, Islington, and Hawkes—but whatever strange confluence of events led to them holding me up was the gentlest hand of fate I’ve ever encountered. It might even be Divine.”
🥺

I’m immensely enjoying this book. Love the friendship of the four.

The audiobook is hilarious 🤣

This is such a fun read!

“But Syl … I find I’m not worried. We are going to survive this. No matter what Wit said.” He nodded firmly. “We’re going to have that drink with Adolin and Shallan.”

(🥺 Please survive. They deserve to have that drink at the end)

Still crying the 2nd time around 😭😭😭

“You can bear it,” Veil whispered. She stepped forward, eye-to-eye with Shallan. “You can remember it. Our weakness doesn’t make us weak. Our weakness makes us strong. For we had to carry it all these years.” 🥺

“It won’t be like that for me,” Kaladin said. “You told me it would get worse.”
“It will,” Wit said, “but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you, Kaladin: You will be warm again.”

Oh my goodness. This is brutal.

“You don’t have to smile. You don’t have to talk. But if you’re going to be miserable, you might as well do it with friends.”

Oh Adolin 🥹 This is why you’re my favorite

“This,” Dalinar said, “is what war does to all of us. It chews us up and spits us out mangled. There’s no dishonor in taking a step away to recover. No more than there’s dishonor in giving yourself time to heal from a stab wound.”

This is boring me 😭 I’ve checked the reviews and they’ve rated Pete’s chapter a 1 to 2 star.

“Before I could lose my courage, I said, “Don’t I get a kiss for luck? It’s kind of a tradition, right?” I figured she would punch me. Instead, she drew her knife and stared at the army marching toward us. “Come back alive, Seaweed Brain. Then we’ll see.””

Percy 🤣🤣

This is devastating 😭😭

This book has the potential to be my best read for the year 🥺

This book is giving me anxiety

“-how sweet it was to die, knowing someone wanted you to live.”

💔😭

The characters are written with so much depth and complexity. I started from hating one character and ended up hoping for his redemption.

Sol is so funny 😂 The Solitary Raven’s appearance in the book made it so much better and entertaining

“The world is full of miracles, but none greater than how far a young person can be carried by someone else’s belief in them.”

“It’s a long life, but fast, one single step in the right direction can be enough.”

Their friendship is so precious that I can’t help but laugh and cry with them.

Listening to the audiobook full-cast edition

“I’m sorry,” she says.
“What for?”
“You’ve had a rough go.”
“Everyone has a rough go. I’ve had it far easier than most people.”
“Maybe. But that doesn’t mean your feelings matter less.”

‘I want you to find something that excites you—for your own enjoyment and nobody else’s. I want you to find all kinds of things that interest and entertain you.’
