“I want to burn alive in that fire in your eyes. I want it to melt me down and forge me into the weapon you need me to be. I want to stand by your side for the rest of my life, and I don’t need you to marry me and make me a fucking king to do it.”

I laughed, I cried, I blushed. 

I was so worried that if I reread this series I wasn't going to find it as exciting. BOY was I wrong! It remains, to this day, my favorite series and favorite characters. Diem is so relatable. She screws up and makes mistakes, but she always tries to learn from them. She's not afraid to show emotion, but she's also not afraid to hold those emotions in. Just as we all do at times. If I had to pick any character I'd like to be associated with, it'd be Diem.
