Ugh I Cant Wait Until Fall To Read A Curse For True Love. Thats Too Long. Why Did I Do This To Myself

Ugh I can’t wait until fall to read A Curse For True Love. That’s too long. Why did I do this to myself 😫😫

"It hurts, Jacks."

"I know, love. I'm going to take you somewhere safe."

"I know, love."

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that the one and only time he calls her "love" is in the presence of the TRUTH STONE. You know, the stone that compels him to only speak the TRUTH.

people who hate darklina dni like this post ain't for you but one thing that i am toying like a cat with yarn is the fact that Sankta Neyar has portend Alina's continued longevity as a life filled with suffering and loss. the question of what will happen to her as she outlives her own myth, in kaz's words 'usefulness', and becomes the most powerful grisha in the world who isn't bound to any man's law?

what will happen when the ravkans who love her turn on her? when ravkan royalty protect her only because she protects them? the only natural reaction to that kind of power is fear. she doomed herself into being an enforcer to an antiquated social system and maintainer of the status quo. her consolidated power can now be used as a tyrannical force for good. the existential angst being overburdened by freedom. perpetual violence as a means of survival. Alina unmaking the Darkling's image of her and creating her own, haunted by the ghosts of a failed revolution.

she is literally begging, she’s desperate and trying to get away. she feels alone and she’s so vulnerable in this moment it truly breaks my heart.

no matter what apollo’s motivation is, i will not forgive him. even if he has a redemption i don’t care. i want him to be punched, and i want evangeline to hate him and jacks to kill him. 😀

... I just finished The Ballad of Never after... And I'm just..

WTF WAS THAT. STEPHANIE GARBER DID NOT JUST DO THAT TO ME...again. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. I'm going to strangle Apollo with my own bare hands if Jacks won't do that first.

I wish there was a block option on Goodreads
