Quando a caneta começava a magoar-me os dedos inchados e os meus olhos cegavam de tantas lágrimas, aproximava-me da janela. Sentia a vaga do vento que se desfazia contra as árvores do parque ou a tristeza muda da noite (...). Durante essas horas tão longas, fui a sentinela da dor, vigiei acompanhada por uma multidão de palavras mortas.

"Kokoro felt Miori looking over at her, and she hurriedly looked away. Miori then declared: 'Chuta, I really don't fancy you!'
(...) it took Kokoro a moment to realize the words were meant for her to overhear. And then a voice said: 'Don't pretend you didn't hear me, you stupid bitch!'
Kokoro was reeling. No one had ever spoken to her like that.
'You're so dumb,' Miori said. 'You can die for all I care.'"

... Huh?

Ugh, Lin and Conor's romance feels so forced

"De Léon. Ye live."
"Sadly."
"How?" he hissed.
"God didn't want me. And the devil was afraid to open the door."

Gabriel is such a prick, but I love him sometimes.

"You know, it's almost impressive," he said after a moment, sounding less wobbly. "You're nearly dead and you're still the rudest person I've ever met."

I'm loving their dynamic so much, and El is exactly the type of protagonist I root for

"Cai had never called her "Mum" again, not since that day, and Devon hadn't pushed the issue. She understood perfectly. Biologically she was his parent and always would be, but emotionally they had become something closer to partners in crime; mutual abusers locked in codependency.
Either way, mother felt like a title she no longer deserved to hear from anyone."

"Twenty-five times you've asked Are you a good person? You asked them, not me, but now I'm all of those people and the question is mine, twenty-five times over."

I'm loving the themes of this book so far

"(...) só o facto de haver espaço para viver era suficiente para me deixar tranquila. Não precisava de muito, apenas de sentir que não iria estar constantemente a bater em sítios, a encontrar pessoas, a detetar falhas."

Tess and Eliot's dynamic is giving me huge Blue and Gansey vibes so far and I am HERE for it

really wish i knew what the second half of the book would be about before delving into it... i probably wouldn't have picked it up if i had

won't dnf because it's a really good book, but man, i wish i knew

Finally seeing Nikolai on screen really made me realise how much I've missed him. I've yet to read Rule of Wolves and I've tried to reread King of Scars about half a dozen times now but can never get past the first 50 pages. Thank you, season 2 of Shadow and Bone, for the incentive

every lucie/cordelia scene we've had so far has been making my eyes fill with tears... i love them

Cordelia is angry in this one, I love it. You go, queen, be furious, speak your mind!!

She's by far the most relatable heroine in the Shadowhunter universe and I adore her

"My father used to tell me that sometimes you cannot reconcile with someone else. Sometimes you have to find that reconciliation on your own. Someone who broke your heart is often not the person who can mend it."

I can't believe I didn't love this the first time I read it. I'm loving it now

"You may fear what will happen if you speak your heart. You may wish to hide things because you fear hurting others. But secrets have a way of eating at relationships, Jamie. At love, at friendship - they undermine and destroy them until in the end you find you are bitterly alone with the secrets you kept."

God, I'm already loving this so much, it's exactly what I needed right now to get me out of my book slump

Thank you, Malinda, for writing such wonderful and healing books

Que início forte!!! Estou a sentir que vai ser o meu livro favorito do Francisco
