my girl ‘Celaena’ whooping butt and taking namessss

WYRD
there’s an idea that before the goddess arrived, there was life— an ancient civilization that somehow disappeared. Perhaps through the Wyrdgate. Ruins exist— ruins too old to be of Fae making. The gates are both real and invisible things. Humans could not see them, but they could be summoned in access using the Wyrdmarks. They opened into other realms, some of them good, some of them bad. 2/2

WYRD
An alphabet/symbols strung together changing meaning depending on the marks around it. The force that comes together and governs countless worlds. An old term for fate/destiny. Wyrd isn’t a religion (in most places) and the Mother Goddess is a spirit from another world, she strayed through something called a Wyrdgate and found Erilea in need of form and life. 1/2

Dorian and Chaol so cutesy

"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."

Also there are 8 guardians. The gargoyles
on the clock tower. They guard the portal between our worlds.

facts i feel i need to remember:
“Ah! Times rift!” below the queens sarcophagus
No fae had married into the havilliard line in a thousand years.
Gavin the first King of Adarlan and Elena Galanthynius Havilliard, the first princess of Terrasen, Brannon’s daughter and Gavin’s wife and queen (also Elena is half-fae)
Damaris, G’s sword, slain Dark Lord Erawan in the fierce wars and almost split continent 1/2

yeah upon further inspection ASSASSINS BLADE SHOULD NOT BE READ FIRST!

throne of glass is soooo good, but reading AB first really dulled it the first time around! i’m loving it this time!

okayokay little Celaena is growing on me, FINE i’m not ashamed to admit it.

Yes, she would go —to Rifthold, to anywhere, even through the Gates of the Wyrd and into Hell itself, if it meant freedom.

hehe I wouldn’t speak so soon

reread. reread. reread.

after reading about Paedyn and her aversion to killing and blood, i’m ALREADY enjoying how sure Celaena is of herself and her abilities. It’s supppppeeeerrr refreshing
