➳♡゛currently reading: rule of wolves
( spoilers ahead )

[The Darkling’s power lived on inside him, and now the man himself walked the earth once more.]
-
omg yay

the tension between zoya and nikolai dayum

I don’t wanna be a bitch or anything and I love nina but I feel like she has forgotten matthias?? idk maybe leigh wants to make it more realistic by her moving on?????

I hate the fjerdans so much how could they do this to actual people???? they’re completely heartless

[You must prove you’re not a bastard]

but um.. how will he do that? he is a bastard

[“Not perfect,” Hanne said with a wince. “What if I’d told her something personal about … something.]
-
something like, let’s say, you liking nina?

[Ylva hesitated. “Please don’t do this to make us happy. I couldn’t bear to think of you miserable.”]
-
that’s actually sweet I didn’t expect this reply

nina missing the crows

[But the longer she played Mila, the easier it became, and sometimes that scared her. Who will I be when I return to Ravka? Who am I now?]
-
damn that’s deep

is brum...... flirting with his daughter’s friend??????

[Brum’s eyes strayed slowly over her face, her neck, and lower.]
-
EW WHAT THE FUCK

well she just said he does that only because he likes seeing her squirm but still

not the apparat again

oh no did hanne just accidentally kill fjerda’s prince?

nikolai is an amazing character: he wants to say ravka, he doesn’t just want to take the throne and he’s fighting to keep himself on it even if his parentage is about to be disclosed. this man gives his everything for a country that only knows how to call him a bastard I love him

omg nikolai simping over zoya

the former queen and king are alive right? so nikolai could just go to his mother and question her about his parentage and about that little lantsov pretender

[Ehri’s pointed chin lifted high. “Nikolai Lantsov, we will be your captives no longer.”]
-
this STUPID bitch I can’t

[“Don’t go.”
He shut his eyes and gripped her hand in his.]
-
*gasps* *cries* *dies*

[Whenever Zoya left the king’s side—to fetch a cool cloth for his head, to turn up the lanterns so that the Healer had better light—Nikolai would open his eyes and mutter, “Where is my general?”]
-

oh good lord of the heavens these two are gonna kill me he keeps telling zoya to stay

[She brushed the hair back from his face, placed a kiss on his forehead. “I would stay forever if I could,” she whispered. He wouldn’t remember anyway.]
-

[And some of us were perfectly happy to forget our parents.]
-
don’t even get me started on zoya’s parents

[...the way David’s gaze snapped to his wife, the desire to protect her the one thing that could draw him from his work.]
-
you can’t tell me this isn’t the purest thing ever

yeah keep flirting and pretending y’all don’t love each other to death

I still can’t believe the darkling is back. it’s as if alina lost everything for nearly nothing

prince rasmus is oversharing and I don’t like it. shut up please???

it’s so funny how nina pretends to be that faithful poor widow lol (I’m not sure about the widow part)

oh genya and david being a married couple is so sweet

[Genya scoffed. “I would never bury that man. Who knows what might spring up from the soil?”]
-
she has a point

[They were the same age and yet, how little of the world had Isaak had a chance to see? He would never be at home with his sisters again, his mother.]
-
I wish he’d survived but then that mayu bitch struck him with a fucking dagger to the hearr

the fact that nikolai was almost killed by his own people bc he wanted to take a break is hilarious to me

[...and David brewed tea.
“Why is my lead scientist fussing with a kettle?” Nikolai asked.
“Because he doesn’t like the way anyone else makes it,” said Adrik...]
-
I’m sorry but this is too cute

[Niweh sesh, Nina thought as she and Hanne said their good nights.
I have no heart.]
-
damn nina

this bitch (the darkling) is scared of walking the earth as a normal man smh

as he should

[Mal placed a shawl around Alina’s shoulders, wrapping his arms around her as they looked out over the old vineyard.]
-
malina nation

[Mal placed a shawl around Alina’s shoulders, wrapping his arms around her as they looked out over the old vineyard.]-malina nation

please please please make nikolai not marry ehri

nikolai handling queen makhi like the bad bitch he is

[“Do not think to lay a hand on this, the most holy body of Queen Makhi Kir-Taban.”]
-
ya right

damn nikolai I had forgotten how witty you are

I have a feeling the fjerdan prince and his guard joran are a couple or something?? that’d be great tbh

zoya honey now that the darkling has completely unleashed himself I think you should let juris out :)))))

[Let them understand what they’re fighting now. Let them know what’s waiting next time they invade Ravka’s skies.]

[Tell them the demon king rules Ravka now and vengeance is coming.]
-
oh wow that’s rather terrifying

[“Genya?” He went to his knees beside her.
“I can’t find him,” she said, her voice lost, bewildered. “I can’t find David.”]
-
OH NO DAVID!!!!!!

[Mayu had been failing her whole life.]
-
yeah well it doesn’t make u special I have been failing my whole life too

[A boy who had given up his heart to an impostor...]
-
yes it was devastating how isaak died but nikolai isn’t a fucking impostor he’s a king who’s trying to save his country

DAVID IS DEAD????? WHY??????????????

I’m doing fineeee just struggling not to cry *awkward laughter*

yeahhhh totally fine especially now that genya took out david’s journal with all his notes about making his wife happy

[“So you’ll remember when I meet you in the next world,” she said softly.]
-
kinda wanna punch leigh bardugo in the face???

[He delivered the news with little emotion, a man reporting on the weather. But Zoya knew him too well. The look in his eyes was as unmistakable as it was unfamiliar: He looked defeated.]
-
even nikolai :(((

[“I gave my life for Ravka,” he snarled at no one but the trees...]
-
I mean you kinda did but you also were the cause of a civil war AND you’re also a mass murderer so u sound like a lunatic

so aleksander’s telling us that if nikolai had died everything would’ve been okay.. nice!!

nina acting like she’s possessed can be quite unnerving

[“...You’ve barely looked at me since I returned.”
Because I am greedy for the sight of you. Because the prospect of facing this war, this loss, without you fills me with fear. Because I find I don’t want to fight for a future if I cant find a way to make a future with you.]
-

mayu and ehri should date

[Shut up, Brekker. Talk to me when you’ve done something about that terrible haircut.]
-
hey! kaz’s haircut is NOT terrible

joran is actually so sweet aww

[“Don’t apologize, brother. You and I are going to change the world.”]
-
this is basically your pickup line

I knew kaz was pretending to be that old man lol. I’ve missed him so much dhdjdhh

[“I have something you want. Safety for the Wraith.”
He didn’t miss the slight bobble in Brekker’s step.
“Speak,” said Kaz.]
-

[“...the very wise king of Ravka—have you met him? Unusual for someone to be so smart and so good-looking...”]
-
self-praise but I’m not gonna say anything cuz. I. agree.

wylan and jesper

wowwww joran was the boy who killed matthias I’m so surprised (I’m not)

I understand why nina wants to murder matthias but it is exactly the thing he wouldn’t have wanted her to do. and I don’t want to see it happen either. hate isn’t healed with more hate

[“If you can love him, I’ll find a way to let you go.”
“Never let me go,” Hanne whispered.”]
-
oh lord YAY!!!!!

ok so kaz sees a demon spring out of the king of ravka’s body and he’s “intrigued”??????

[“I would choose you.”
“As your general?”
(...)
So many easy replies.
Instead he said, “As my queen.”]

[“I would make you my queen because I want you. I want you all the time.”]
-
HSNSNDJSJDJRJDJDJDJDJDJD SOMEONE PINCH ME SO I KNOW I’M NOT IN REM MODE

he basically asked her if she’d want to marry him and she said I wasn’t born to be a bride

YOU LOVE EACH OTHER GET OVER IT

I really don’t wanna read seven pages of the darkling’s pov

ylva found nina and hanne kissing

tbh I expected her to throw in a fit or something but okay I can accept things rolling on as if nothing happened

[You should have said yes, Zoya thought for the hundredth time. You should have told him you loved him.]
-
actually yeah you should have

[...she’d known he was the hero of all her aunt’s stories, the boy with the golden spirit full of light and hope.]
-
well that’s painful to read

it’s so funny how nikolai is actually half fjerdan but is fighting so fervently against them

okay so our nikolai is dying this is so fun. so, so fun

the darkling is helping ravka?????? that’s surprising news

[The Apparat smiled. His gums were black.]
-
leigh, either kill off the apparat or stop talking about his gums. PLEASE

I hate the apparat he’s treating the heartrender as if he were a dog what the hell

I hate the apparat he’s treating the heartrender as if he were a dog what the hell

ok I forgot to say this but NINA WAS DOZED WITH PAREM AGAIN????

[“None of that, Tamar. If Ravka’s independence dies this day, then I die with it.”]
-
he’s so selfless

[There were tears in Tolya’s eyes. “May the Saints watch over you, Nikolai,” he said. “You die a king.”]

so zoya is turned completely in a dragon?? wow. great. totally on board

[Promise you’ll come home to us.
“I can’t.”]
-
why the fuck not? you can protect both yourself and hanne in ravka

HANNE IS DEAD???? HOW MANY BLOWS CAN NINA ENDURE MAN???
