i honestly think that Rosethorn and her sense of humor and her personality influenced me to become the person i am. shes so prickly but like. we love her. my favorite mom

#TPReadalong
Sandry is such a mother hen!!! I love when she added milk and honey to Briar’s porridge.
#TPReadalong

#TPReadalong
“Taking his empty bowl, [Rosethorn] ladled in more porridge. ‘Well, he’s underfed,’ she said defensively to Lark, who watched her with a knowing smile.”

tris showing briar and sandry how to dust gets me every time. they’re so cute i love them

#TPReadalong
the thing with daja holding hot metal with her bare hands makes me laugh every time

kirel: *pikachu face*
frostpine: i don’t see why you’re so shocked, i do it all the time
“With mates like that plant, I don’t need constables” he did name himself after it tho

#TPReadalong
honestly though i’m really just surprised it took them this long to find out about their magic? I suppose it’s only been 2-3 weeks at Discipline, but in terms of book length.

#TPReadalong
“Can I play too? I’ll be good.” this line has stuck with me subconsciously FOREVER i love kirel

#TPReadalong
“Her mouth twisted wryly, and she added, ‘Perhaps mention that Cranes keep-awake tea is a hair better than mine.’

Everyone stared at her.

‘But just a hair!’ she said crossly. ‘And don’t tell Crane I said it.’”

#TPReadalong
got thought the first half of the quake and there’s a chapter break which is the only reason in on twitter again. this is so tense ahhhh

#TPReadalong
they’re safe now! as tense as it is i will always love reading the earthquake scene. it’s the making of them and it’s freaking beautiful

#TPReadalong
“The shakkan thought, perhaps *one* new bud?

‘Oh, all right,’ Briar said. ‘Which do you want to keep?’”

i love them

#TPReadalong
i LOVE the ending of this book, with them offering sandry her crystal light. gorgeous

and that concludes Sandry’s book! join me another time for Tris’s book:)
