Wow her and Sam were so mates I think like genuinely, I think it just got muddled with her form and suppression and stuff but yeah.
The first time they kiss she describes it as lightning moving through her tho, so idk I think it’s a good detail and foreshadowing of Rowan.
I’m not really ready to read the last novella again. Throw up.

The assassin and the desert is my fav. It’s so foundational to the story and her character. I’m a mess.

Can’t stop reading.
Celeana #1 manifester

Sob. She’s a genius.

“The gods had vanished, but had they? Had it been some god who visited tonight, clothed in the skin of a battered young woman?”
“The gods were dead, or simply didn’t care anymore. Yet there, deep in her gut, was a small but insistent tug. A tug on a strand of some invisible web. So Celeana decided to tug back, just to see how far and wide the reverberations would go.”
All before the break of dawn 💔

Another thought.
They play a game, “a game of Kings”, and Sam wins.
So so much foreshadowing and setting up Sam to haunt the narrative it makes me actually want to throw up.
W Rolfe too. “When you show me your face, I’ll tell you the truth.”

Yeah. I’m back. I…….. mhm. I think rereading this might be one of the best/worst decisions in my life tbh. I’m not annotating and I alr know everything and I just get to appreciate the genius.
Just finished the Pirate Lord chapter. The boats they free- Celeana’s boat is named The Golden Wolf and Sam’s is Loveless. 🥲
Her plans 💔
I cried.
