"Yield to yourself. Yield to forgiveness. Yield to happiness. Yield to this moment. It's not hers. It's yours. It's mine."
"It's ours."
If my people must see strength, then we need to show them ours.
*Spoilery Thoughts*
Prince Rhen:Am I the only one thinking he was just soweakand lame in this book?? I liked that he only hesitated for a ~short~ time telling Harper about Lilith’s comeback, but at the same time I wish he’d told hersooner.I mean, did you see how fast she handled the situation?? She didn’t even cower and literally stabbed her the moment Lilith *poofed* herself into existence.
Harper:I loved that she stuck by Rhen even when everyone else didn’t and (until the moment Rhen confided in her) she herself didn’t quite understand what had changed him. Not to mention, even when he was being a jerk considering how much they fought in this book. Honestly, why did everyone put up with his sh!t and forgave him easily just because he was tortured by Lilith?!
Lia Mara:She was whiny and full of self-doubt. While I empathized with the burden she carried, I was also frustrated and often wanted to shout, ‘STOP CRYING AND DO SOMETHING!!!’ 😭 Her sister was even more annoying with her “advising” because the way she voiced them didn’t seem genuinely supportive but felt showy and demeaning as if shebelievedherself she was more capable than Lia Mara in rulling their kingdom.
Grey:He was noticeably ~still~ in this book, like he pretty much didn’t do anything for 80% of it. I don’t understand his sudden willingness to rule. Sure, he was the true heir and whatnot, but I feel like it’d make more sense if Rhen stayed in power and them as brothers. Also, I didn’t expect we’d come out of this with him having a baby with Lia Mara. With everything going on, that was just too soon IMO.
