5.0
I am absolutely in awe of how good this book is
Chaol & Celaena >>>> Celaena & Dorian (even though they grew on me)
Quotes:
“She hasn’t tasted fear in a while- hadn’t let herself taste fear. When she awoke every morning, she repeated the same words: I will not be afraid.”
“But she’d been trained to be an assassin since the age of eight, since the day the King of the Assasins found her half-dead on the banks of a frozen river and brought her to his keep.”
“She could destroy the king as he had destroyed her.”
“My father needs someone to aid the empire- someone to help him maneuver around difficult people.”
“Even if she was free, others were not.”
“Son or no son, I am still your king. You will obey me, Dorian Havilliard, or you will pay.”
“He should be hanging from the gallows. He had kill many more than she…He’d destroyed cultures, destroyed invaluable knowledge, destroyed so much of what had once been bright and good.”
“Courage of the heart is very rare. Let it guide you.”
“Give me real men to fight. Then maybe I’ll bother trying.”
“There’s not a moment that goes by when I don’t wonder what it will be like to kill for him- the man who destroyed everything that I loved!”
“You bear many names, and so I shall name you as well…I name you Elentiya, ‘Spirit That Could Not Be Broken.’”
“Perhaps…perhaps she wanted to stay her for reasons other than her eventual freedom. That was one thing that hopeless assassin from Endovier would have never believed.”
“I’m going to be free, and I’ve never been free in my entire life.”
“Should you fail any of my tasks, should you forget to return, you will pay dearly.”
Chaol & Celaena quotes:
“Captain Westfall was not exceedingly fly handsome, but she couldn’t help finding the ruggedness of his face and the clarity of his golden-brown eyes rather appealing.”
“It was easy to be mean, but it was also getting far too easy to be nice.”
“There was something great and deadly concealed within her.”
“But she- at seventeen- had gone to a death camp. And survived.”
“I want to say thank you. For making my freedom mean something.”
“Her heart so quickly, and yet she felt utterly calm- as if she could have stayed there forever and not minded, stayed there forever and let the world fall apart around them.”
“Perhaps four year with her might not be enough.”
Celaena & Dorian quotes:
“Yet there was something in his eyes, strikingly blue…and the way they contrasted with his raven-black hair that made her pause.”
“How unfair of him to be royal and beautiful.”
“She washed her hands with blood, and was just as likely to slit his throat as offer him a kind word.”
“Because I can’t stomach the idea of marrying a woman inferior to me in mind and spirit. It would mean the death of my soul.”
“I can’t call myself a man when I allow my father to encourage such unforgivable atrocities.”
“He’d find a way to make it work; he’d find a way to be with her. He had to.”
“He loved her, and no empire, no king, and no earthly fear would keep him from her. No, if they tried to take her from him, he’d rip the world apart with his bare hands.”
“I can’t be with you if I’m the King’s Champion.”
Oh!!! And King of Adarlan kills all those who use magic and banned all magic but he himself seems to be using magic to influence emotions and actions of others
So yay
