Poppy the entire book:
"I may yet again be in the process of doing something incredibly reckless, inappropriate, and wholly forbidden"
"I was Penellaphe of Castle Teerman, Kin of the Balfours, and the Queen’s favorite.
I was the Maiden.
Chosen."

Hawke has an outdoor kink dont @ me
“Boy, I may have been born at night, but I wasn’t born last night.” is an underrated line
Vikter was NOT having it
“She thinks of you as a father,” he said, his voice so soft it sent a chill down my spine. “It would hurt her greatly if something unfortunate were to happen to you.”

I shouldnt find this attractive

& #39; Somewhere in there, my present had become the past. I turned to the Rise. Somewhere out there, my future awaited. & #39;
I couldn’t explain it exactly, but it made me wonder if he’d seen someone and had fallen in love with them after just one conversation.

HOW am i supposed to stay calm when I& #39;ll be able to read Hawke& #39;s pov in 20 hours??

Kieran looked concerned.
“Momma?”

Dont talk to me I& #39;m crying
“They behave as if royalty is among them.”
Poppy right now:
"I’m so incredibly unworthy of you it should be a sin."

The only sin here is the amount of times I& #39;ve read this scene
“No, I’m not. You deserve someone who is, but I’m too much of a bastard to allow that.”

But tell me why him saying this made me like him MORE??
If he& #39;s not making you question how thick the walls are he& #39;s doing it wrong
“Any way you want, Princess. You can’t do it wrong,”

“Anything you do is more than okay.” [...] “But especially that. Totally that.”

[...]

“It kills me in a way I don’t think you’ll ever understand.”

Name a more perfect scene,
I& #39;ll wait (no really, I& #39;m curious how akofaf will top this)
“I promise. I won’t forget.”

i PrOMiSe. i wONt fOrGeT.
Hawke’s gaze met mine. “It’s okay.”

SHUT UP NO IT& #39;S NOT
An actual representation of poppy realizing they fucking LIED
“What you’re thinking…you could not be further from the truth.”

she wouldnt be thinking it if they hadnt done it smh alexa play truth hurts by lizzo
Hawke whirled on me, the look of disbelief on his face almost comical.
Like I& #39;m mad at the insensitivity but I have to admire the boldness of trying to flirt with someone whose life is crashing down around them
“I can be very compelling.”

The way I laughed at this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
The reread hits different lol
“Well, there really wasn’t a lot of time, considering you were busy betraying me.”
His eyes narrowed. “That’s no excuse.”

This is literally the past few scenes:
I forgot he asked for a "thank you"
The AUDACITY
“Then again. Please continue. It’s the perfect kind of torture.”

“Not everything was a lie, Poppy. Not everything.”
“You’re popular.”
“And I have two hands,”
“You cannot die. I will not allow it.”

I& #39;m not emotionally ready to read the end of this book again...again
"We weren’t lovers.
We were enemies, and we could never be anything else."

The enemies to lovers trope is elite
“You’re crying.”
“If you wanted to kill me, you should’ve aimed for the head, Princess. But worse yet, you forgot.”
“And then he’d be…intrigued.”
My mouth opened, but my mind took that and leapt with it. I had nothing to say. Absolutely nothing

Poppy (and me) rn:
“No.”
His brows lifted. “No?”
“I want you to, Princess. I enjoy it.” [...] “So, fight me. Argue with me. See if you can actually injure me next time. I dare you.”
