"We crawl into the deepest caves, touch the bottom of the sea, try to reach the stars... We are for ever looking for other worlds. Stranger ones."

"you are alive, and there is no greater vengeance you could take"

"I am of the considered opinion that for every person, there exists a book that will sing to them. I trust that you will find yours."

Slow-moving and intricately detailed epic fantasy will never not be my favourite genre!

"The world doesn't exist to give us lessons."

"There was nothing sweeter than life itself. Everything else was a problem that could be solved, or endured . Death did nothing except remove all his options."

“We have enough to focus on in the real world without stirring the tea leaves of our dreams,”

This is setting up to be a 5 🌟 read!

"The trouble was, I hated the idea of serving men in any way."

“The problem with the Imperial Office is that it views every race of people on this world as a problem to be solved. A dog to be brought to heel."

"I wanted, for once, to feel real to someone other than myself."

Tell me why I have neglected this five star prediction for over a month?? Time to lock in!

Aah. Nesta! You make me heart sad!

"When the darkest part of you needs the darkest part of me, it creates light."

Waitttttt... Is this how all of Maas' series will be linked??

"The instinct crept up, a rising wave, each word selected to slice and wound. She'd always had that gift, if it could be called that. Yer it wasn't a curse, not entirely. It had served her well."

“You loved me - then what right had you to leave me? What right - answer me- for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine."

"His abode at the Heights was an oppression past explaining. I felt that God had forsaken the stray sheep there to its own wicked wanderings, and an evil beast prowled between it and the fold, waiting his time to spring and destroy."

"he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, him and mine are the same."

"Ah, I thought, there will be no saving him - He's doomed, and flies to his fate."

My favourite ever book 🖤

Well, I didn't see that coming!!!

"I've always used pain to fuel my anger, to keep myself going. It washes over me, burning and biting, and I swallow it down. It ignites something in me.

Something merciless. Determined. Unstoppable."

My first five-star feeling with a book, since forever!!!

"He gives me a long look, then kisses me again. It’s not rushy or urgent. It’s not a bookend kiss, he’s not signing off, he doesn’t say goodbye—he just kisses me, hands in my hair, soft and melty, and then he slips out of my room.
His kisses are commas."

"You can’t avoid the avalanche of emotions that come with the termination of a relationship; you can only prolong them, which I refused to do. I looked every feeling I felt square in the eye and stared it down... The grief would come in waves, and I’d miss him on certain days, at certain hours, but for the most part, I had closure, because it wasn’t rejection and no one fucked up. We were in love and it didn’t work."

"If he was more like me, he would have pushed. The truth, no matter the cost. But all our lives, Oliver has loved me in a way where he’d never hurt me; even if hurting me meant loving me the most, he couldn't."
