He was a painter :’)

“‘I’ll find some flowers for you.’”

Okayyy ya got me. That was cute.

“Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens.”

So glad to have Gimli on board!

WHAT IS UP WITH DARROW’S WOMEN AND THEM KEEPING THESE THINGS FROM HIM??

Good grief, love the name though :’)

“If pain is the weight it being, then love is the purpose.”

Placing my theory here:

Darrow and Mustang meant to be captured, Sevro isn’t dead because it mentioned a new vest he was wearing that made his suit fit funny, and Orion “knew more” than she was letting on with Cassius’s release.

Listen. I know Cassius will eventually have a redemption arc… but I don’t think I’ll ever like the man.

“Tell the hag we’re here for war. Not words.”


But Darrow, you have such a way with them. What a waste.

“Share the load, darling. This one’s on me.”

SHE CAN DO NO WRONG

(Switched to paper copy)

“Oh, hell. That’s Flagilus,” Victra says, regarding the head. “He was in my school house. Very sweet fellow actually. Wonderful cook.”

Goodness I love her

Man, I love Orion. I want more of her

“Love was his shout into the wind.”

Ahhh

“We’re not fighting for the dead. We’re fighting for the living. And for those who aren’t yet born. For a chance to have children. That’s what has to come after this, otherwise what’s the point?”

Idk why but Sevro and Darrow talking about having children is so unexpectedly precious

Starting Part III and though I find Sefi a bit boring so far and her conversion a bit lacking, I loved how she ended that chapter. Curious if she’ll have a bigger part in the future.

I am absolutely gutted

I love that Ragnar mentioned Quinn in avenging their lost comrades. He’s too precious… You know what that usually means

“I wonder when you started believing grit and vision were the same thing.”

Victra and I are on the same page. Knock some
sense into our boy.

“Worse, I feel like a terrorist. I’ve only ever felt this way once before, and that was with a bomb on my chest walking into the gala on Luna.”

Okay, Darrow. I need you to make a plan and take control soon, sound good?

YAY VICTRA!!! Love you, girl

If my friends wouldn’t ask to use my eyes I left behind, I wouldn’t want them. Sevro is insane

What is this little baby’s name?? She’s so precious :’)

“‘You couldn’t have known.’
‘Sevro did.’”

HOW CAN I POSSIBLY LOVE THIS CHARACTER ANY MORE?!

Trigg has a spouse?? He’s dead.

“‘What…was…that?’
Holiday tries not to laugh. ‘Mamma calls it snakebite. Only gonna last thirty minutes with your metabolism.’
‘Your mamma made that?’
Trigg shrugs. ‘We’re from Earth.’”

We got some southern folk? May be my new favorite characters. We’ll see how long they last :’)

Man, Jackal really has Reaper thinking like a Red again. Actually, he had more confidence when he was a Red so this is even worse.

We are quoting Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth?? Was not expecting to get that reference, that’s crazy.

The chapters are so short in this book, which I normally wouldn’t mind but I’m not a huge fan of how many POVs we’re adding. It’s hard enough to make first-person narration work with two different people who think differently. Anymore than that and it begins to feel like every character is the same person.

This book might be a touch harder to get through. I’m already getting tired of this cat-and-mouse chase they keep going on. Also while I haven’t really minded this dual POV situation, Samkiel is starting to sound like a broken record of his undying care and devotion for Dianna and it’s a tad overbearing.
