• Pleasantly surprising.
• I love me goodn prophecies.
• It's getting tenser. 
• It kinda feels like a king with no subjects tho. Like u barely see fairy outside of the scheming court.
• Love carden's development.
• Also, how come Jude is not power hungry. I do not know how she got it in her head that it is Oak who should rule. *smh*

"I have heard that for mortals the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. Your heart beats fast. Your senses are heightened. You grow light-headed, maybe even dizzy."

“It is said we learn more from our failures than our successes"

Could not get into writing. Was often too slow with the story while setting up the world building
