Gaia’s Reviews > A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire > Status Update

Okay I had like 50 comments throughout but I couldn’t stop reading to do a progress update on Goodreads so here we are haha

“I will find you a diamond so big it will enger the room before you do”

This made me laugh out loud haha

“You are beautiful when you are quiet and somber, but when you laugh? You rival the sunrise over the Skotos Mountains.”

MY. HEART.

She is making the same point here again, that what he is doing seems the exact same as what others have done to her before, but he seems to take it far more seriously now. At least he is not making teasing remarks anymore

Wait what about the blue eyes?
Are they not Atlantian?
I thought Atlantian just meant people from Atlantia

Also the end of chapter 7 hihi

The first half of chapter 7 <3
The way he holds her, calms her down, shares his secrets with her to make her feel less alone and less ashamed

The “You’re so incredibly beautiful when you’re angry.” Made me more mad and my heart skip a beat at the same time

Okay no. No. No.
Poppy is expressing VERY VALID concerns and he is only giving her a teasing response. I really hope that is just because he knows it’s not just for her own good but more complicated and he feels bad so he deflects with humor, not because he doesn’t take her seriously because the latter would make him a dick

The way he is realistic and honest AND still takes accountability <3
The way he can admit his faults without throwing a pity party or whatever
Sexiest thing ever
