“She was the heir of fire. She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”

“She has no hope, Prince. She has no hope left in her heart. Help her. If not for her sake, then at least for what she represents—what she could offer all of us, you included.” “And what is that?” he dared ask. Emrys met his gaze unflinchingly as he whispered, “A better world.”

“At least you’ve already learned one lesson.” When she cocked her head, he said, “The people you love are just weapons that will be used against you.”

“She’d been running for so long that she didn’t know what it was to stand and fight.”

“Celaena, I’m your friend.” She stared at him, panting through gritted teeth, her breath coming quicker and quicker before she roared, the sound filling the room, his blood, his world: “You will never be my friend. You will always be my enemy.”

“We’ll never be a normal boy and girl, will we?” she managed to say.
“No,” he breathed, eyes blazing. “We won’t.”

“Did Sam love you?” Yes. More than anyone had ever loved her. He’d loved her enough to risk everything—to give up everything. He’d loved her so much that she still felt the echoes of it, even now.

“You must listen to what I tell you. Nothing is a coincidence. Everything has a purpose. You were meant to come to this castle, just as you were meant to be an assassin, to learn the skills necessary for survival.”

“I am Celaena Sardothien, Adarlan’s Assassin. If these men knew who I was, they’d stop laughing. I am Celaena Sardothien. I am going to win. I will not be afraid.”

“We each survive in our own way.”

“I love you,” he breathed against her mouth. “And from today onward, I want to never be separated from you. Wherever you go, I go. Even if that means going to Hell itself, wherever you are, that’s where I want to be. Forever.”

“If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it—to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger. But Ansel let her pain become hate, and let it consume her until she became something else entirely—a person I don’t think she ever wished to be.”

“This girl wasn’t like wildfire—she was wildfire. Deadly and uncontrollable. And slightly out of her wits.”

I’m rereading this series because I just wanted to, because I missed this world and I wanna be prepared for the next ACOTAR book.

“Why does it have to be him? Of all the men on this planet, why do I have to be entangled with the most monstrous of all?”

“She wants to kill me the next time she sees me? By all means. Anything for my beautiful wife.”

“I spent my whole life carefully building a house of cards, but Sasha’s death has caused it to fall apart.”

“Sasha is the ruin of my house of cards, and there’s nothing I can do to change that. Not even a little. Not even close. And maybe, I’ve finally come to terms with that.”

“Because she’s starting to look like a fucking weakness. She’s someone who can be used against me to put me on my knees. And I don’t do weaknesses. I’ve always been the type to play, never to be played with.”

“When I stare up at him, it’s like I’m looking at a raging monster. I’ve always thought of him as one, but this is the first time I’ve actually been afraid of him and what he might do to reach his goal.”

“I’m lost in a fog I can’t escape. My heart and body attuned to the monster in the form of a man. A monster I can’t resist.”

“If putting my life in this emotionless man’s hands is what I have to do, then so be it.”

“You know how some people are thrown into your path for a specific reason? I think—no, I’m certain that he’s here for that reason.”

“I didn’t know this man. I didn’t know this man at all, and it made me feel awful. More like shit than I already did.”
