It was easy to hate him like this, when he was making sacrifices, because she could not look in his face and accept that she was about to lose him.

Ahhhnoooo whyyy I hate that he’s sacrificing himself but grey will find a way to save him

He leaned forward to kiss her. “I already have your name in my heart, Locke,” he said. “It would be the greatest honor to carry your banner.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
“No.”
A MANNNN

“Grey,” he sighed, her name the softest of exhalations. She felt the power of her pushing through the tether without her direction. She felt both in control and wildly out of it; both filled to the brim and needing more of him, as much of him as she could take, as soon as possible.”

This spicy scene I don’t mind 😏

He caught her, drawing her back against his chest. “No,” he said, leaning down to nip at her lower lip. “I’ve never been with someone I loved before.”
MARRY HIM ALREADY

He laughed, looking at her with a bizarre incredulity. “I always wanted you,” he said. “And I still can’t believe… that I have you. I think I do.”
AWWW

But every time he’d touched her, every time he’d kissed her forehead or her temple or the back of her hand, every time he’d folded himself around her… perhaps each moment had been its own confession.
AYYY ALL CAUSE SHE DIDNT KISS BACK

“I adore you,” he said, all in a rush. “No—no. Listen. I… I’m in love with you. I’ve been in love with you for years, maybe forever. Sometimes it’s all I can think about, and I can’t breathe because it’s so heavy on my chest that I… I might be holding it alone, the only thing about you I can’t be certain of. It’s agony, Grey, the not knowing.”

“And I have been trying to make you see me as more than your mage for six years now.”
She could not believe this. She could not understand the high color in his cheeks, the light in his eyes.
AHHHHH OMG KIERRRR

“If they take you, if you refuse to let them control you, they will make you bear an heir as soon as you’re able. One who will hand over all the power, who they can control—and then they’ll kill you anyway. I can’t save you. You have to save your power, Maryse—you have to save yourself.”

This is so sad…

Severin moved so quickly that Maryse missed it. One moment he was standing still with the girl at his arm; the next, his dagger was through her heart, and she was falling to her knees before him, shock clear on his face.
OMG WHAT THE FUCK

His hand found her hair, his fingers spearing through, thumb sweeping across her temple. Kier kissed her, properly kissed her as he never had before, and her heart ached with everything she would never have.
Maybe he did know.
AHHHH YESSS

She loved him in every way it was possible to love a person. And for the most part, she knew he loved her back, in his own way—but as she stared into the emptiness of the mountains, she wondered for the first time if that would be enough.

“He knew who you were, what you were, when he tethered. I will not risk you again. The things I wish I could say to you…” He caught himself again. “Losing you, living without you would be a fate worse than death.”
AWWWWW SO CUTE

she wondered sometimes (more often than she’d ever admit to anyone, let alone herself) what it would be like to be with him.
And Grey was a liar too, because she longed for him. Endlessly, immeasurably, ceaselessly.
OMG THE YEARNING

“Kier made a low noise in his throat at her cold hands pressed to his skin, eyes flicking open wearily.
“You can’t die on me,” Grey whispered, tucking her face firmly against his neck. His arms encircled her out of muscle memory.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he murmured into her hair, still half-asleep.”

This is more than friends ok

“You used too much of yourself on me. You should’ve snapped the tether earlier. Far earlier.”
“When you have power,” Grey said, “you can tell me how to do it.”
Damnnn

“You used too much of yourself on me. You should’ve snapped the tether earlier. Far earlier.”
“When you have power,” Grey said, “you can tell me how to do it.”
Damnnn

“When she’s out of our hands,” Kier said, “they will know she is not truly the blood of Locke.”

“Grey,” he said. “The only reason you are safe now is because everyone is certain you are dead. I’m just trying to—”
“Trying to save me?” she snapped, turning back to face him.

“What will we do,” Kier said, “if they discover that you are Maryse of Locke?”
I KNEW ITTTTTT

I will not investigate whether you are bound, because I need the kind of power you have for this mission. But if you refuse this quest, then I cannot guarantee that your precarious position will not be investigated.”
Ohhhh that’s why

“So I don’t have to see you looking like shit.”
“Unfair. I’m the reason you’re alive.”
“Doesn’t change anything.”
Grey sighed, pulling her hand away. She had to stop—any further healing and people would start asking questions. Kier’s eyes rolled back open. “Thank you,” he said.
She’s more powerful than the other wells

“You’re alive,” she said into his chest, breathing too hard, as if she needed to reassure herself. He smelled like he always did, sunlight and clean linen and his mothers’ lavender soap. He smelled like home. “You’re alive.”
A flashback

For the best working relationship, it is recommended that the pairing remains as close as is necessary for trust, but otherwise avoid any feeling more powerful than friendly respect.
The fact the author placed this right after he was bleeding out and grey was desperate to save him

“You just… haven’t had a terror like that in a while. If something is happening… if something is changing…”
She rolled on her back angrily before he could see her face or say anything further. “Sleep,” she said. “You use so much of me when you’re tired.

So he uses her for power?like he channels magic
Ohhh ok it’s called a well

He smirked at her, and oh. She could often pretend that she and Kier were nothing more than the most devoted of friends, but sometimes the ache in her chest was difficult to ignore.
Awww nooo

Did I like the book in general…yess..love carrion..and onyx my gavsss
Was the cliffhanger necessary…kinda yes because she did the same on book one..was it an insane ending to keep be hooked…idk…it it’s interesting tho to know where khydans shadows really come from and who is he on that he’ll plane

“Who . . . are you?” Crave choked. “Only . . . half-gods may wield shadows.”
Khydan drew in a deep breath, ignoring the male’s question. “I’ve come for a dragon, as is my right. Summon our father. Tell him I’ve come to make a trade.”

So fisher aka khydan is like a prince or Demi god of hell? And its ends like that??

Easy, Saeris, Fisher warned. It’s more powerful than the two of us put together. Can’t you feel it?

Interesting

“She cut clean through Belikon De Barra’s neck and severed his head from his body in one fell swoop. The sheer force of the blow sent his head spinning off into the trees, where it hit the ground and bounced away into the dark.
He wasn’t dead. Whatever dark magic ran through his veins would save him from this end.”

“I stroked her hair, holding her tight to me as I slowly shook my head. “I’m sorry.” My voice broke. “I would try, I promise I would. But it’s too late, Osha. He’s already gone.”
Onyx had taken one last stuttering breath while she’d been crying. He’d shivered and let out a trembling sigh, and then he’d gone.”

NOOO WHYYY ONYX NO

Belikon just sighed. “One what?”
“One other who isn’t affected by iron.”
“Pray enlighten me. Who—”
“Me.”
I called the sword, and the sword came.
SLAYYY

“Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate, I hereby call you by your true name. I declare all oaths you have sworn null and void. Rise, Khydan Graystar Finvarra, in honor of the name you were given at birth! Rise up and fight!”
I hope this works
