OPOZORILO 1: ZAPIS VSEBUJE SPOILERJE/KVARNIKE.
Za popolno bralno izkušnjo tega bloga si moraš predstavljat, da živiva v istem (malo premalem za 2) stanovanju in te že cel dan zasledujem, da ti na glas berem najljubše odlomke. Tako da si neseš v sobo rezalno desko in nož, da si zelenjavo za mineštro narežeš tam. In potem greš v kuhinjo samo tolko, da vse skupaj vrżeš v pisker. Ampak tudi to ni dovolj, ko slišim premik v skupnih prostorih, ti že hitim naprej na glas brat.
Sem v obdobju življenja, ko bi lahko cel dan citirala OS in zraven dodala medmet OMG.
🍓 JAGODNI IZBOR “OMG HIN 🫠 ” PRIPETLJAJEV:
- Celotna “odprava” iskanja mavričnih zmajev & ZDRAVILA
“For the Deverelli mission, my squad will consist of Lieutenant Riorson, Lieutenant Sorrengail, Cadet Gamlyn, Cadet Cordella” —I glance back over my shoulder to get his rank – “Captain Cordella, Cadet Aetos, Prince Halden, and whatever favorite guard follows you in case you stub your toe,” I say to Halden.
IN CASE YOU STUB YOUR TOE!!!!!!!! Hahahahahhaha
“You get one chance to form your own squad. and you choose your ex, your current lover, the quadrant’s resident smart-ass, two people who have tried to kill you in the past year-one over said current lover— and whatever Dain is? These are your choices for the most important mission any rider could possibly undertake?”
My thoughts exactly, Mira. AND WHATEVER DAIN IS!!!
- Halden in njegova KOŠARA 🧺 (Also, Halden je Violetin BIVŠI??????!!)
+ Xadenova kajla PRINCU:
“Why don’t you scurry into your little basket?”
- Otočanka misli, da je Xaden DAIN!!!!!!
(Xaden:) “Everyone assumes she’ll wind up with you, but it’s my last name she ends up wearing on her flight jacket in formation.”
A rabi kdo led? 🧊 Ker mislim, da je bil to BUUUUURN!!!
- Garricku gre v slast ZASTRUPLJENA čokoladna torta 🍰
- Brokoli??? 🥦 🐱 ZAKAJ JE BROKOLI OMENJEN SAMO ENKRAT?
- Continent v bistvu ni kontinent, ampak AMARALYS.
- Zihnalove darile nasplošno🎁 🤦🏻♀️
- Ridoc in njegov zmaj se prankata. + Ridoc NA SPLOŠNO.
Agreed,” Ridoc says. “And it’s always the same fight.” He lifts his hand to his chest. “I’ll trust you if you stop keeping secrets!” He drops the hand and scowls. “It’s my secretive nature that attracted you, and why can’t you just stay out of harm’s way for five fucking minutes?”
“Turn it back around -” Ridoc starts, then pauses to appreciate the flier.
“Well, hello Cygnisen. Have you been properly welcomed to Basgiath yet?” He cranks up a smile I’ve seen enough times to know he’ll be coming out of someone else’s bedroom tomorrow morning.
The flier scoffs. “I don’t do second-years.”
“Good thing I fuck like a third.” Ridoc grins.
“Oh, and just so we’re clear, that strike up there wasn’t” — he gestures between us— “you know. Us.” He flinches. “I mean, it was us because I pissed her off, but it wasn’t us…us, if you know what I’m saying.”
“Well aware,” Xaden replies. “First because I trust Violet, and second” – he glances at Ridoc in a dismissive once-over —”it wasn’t a big enough strike.”
“Wait, are we making dick jokes?” (to ni dobesedni quote!)
HAHAHAHHAHA RIDOC <3 IN XADEN!!! SO SAVAGE!!!!
THE DRAGONS ARE DRAGONING
Čeprav je Sgaeyl na žalost še naprej v vlogi stranskega lika, je zame še vedno KRALJICA.
Horses go where you ask them to for the most part. Sgaeyl…” He glances up at the trees as if he can see her in the sky above us, a look of longing on his face. “She doesn’t really give a shit where I want to go. I’m just along for the ride.”
Andarna ni več kjut in prijazna, ampak SASSY AF.
Your wings won’t hold the weight of this ice,’” Andarna blatantly mocks him. “And yet yours miraculously carry the burden of your ego.”
Tairn ostaja ikoničen.
“I’m..” I pause — we both do — as Halden climbs awkwardly out of the four-foot-tall basket Kira deposited in front of us. “I’m better off than whatever’s happening there.”
The prince curses when his pack catches on the thick weave of the carrier as he exits, the fabric holding him prisoner. Instead of lifting the bag over the barrier, Halden wrenches it free, tearing the strap clean off.
“Clearly it was common sense that attracted you to the heir.” Sarcasm drips from Tairn’s tone.
Mavrični zmaji in dostava resnice, ob kateri grejo človeku kar kocine pokonci:
(Irid:) “We have watched some of your journey and feel it is not peace you seek, but victory.”
XADEN: *walks into a scene* ME: next thing I knew, I was pregnant.
Xaden se po lestvici seksi literarnih junakov z vratolomno hitrostjo vzpenja proti prvemu mestu, ki zaenkrat pripada Rhysandu.
Lahko pa že zdaj povem, da je Xadenov arc 300x bolj zanimiv kot Rhysov–bad boy turning good turning REALLY REALLY BAD??!! What’s next????
V OS je istočasno zelo teritorialen, zaščitniški in ljubosumen, AMPAK HKRATI redno povzdiguje Violet in ji neprestano kaže, da v svojih kosteh ve, kako sposobna in samostojna je.
I’ve seen him in battle before, seen the icy rage that comes over him, even the killing calm. I’ve witnessed the transformation from man to weapon, watched strategy overtake compassion- just like we’re trained for.
But this… whatever’s swirling in those onyx eyes is a tempest I’ve never beheld. It’s one step past fury, as though Dunne herself has stepped into his eyes and now peers back at me. He’s Xaden, but he’s… not.
“Xaden?” I whisper. “It’s nothing. Really. I’ve had worse on a sparring mat.
“They’re all fucking dead.”
“I’ve seen the moments you don’t just rise to the occasion you own it. Deverelli. Unbriel. You poisoned the entire triumvirate of Hedotis, for fuck’s sake. Imagine who you’ll become when you finally learn to not just embrace that confidence but live it.”
“You?” I force a smile.
“Better than me.” His thumb grazes my lower lip. “You have to be. You
promised to help me protect Tyrrendor, remember?”
“There is no cure for me.” He presses a kiss to my forehead. “That’s why you have to become better than me. There’s only you.”
Sicer pa je še vedno zelo prepričan vase. I love my men like I love my best friends. Savage.
“Let’s get three things straight, Your Highness. First, I have remarkable hearing thanks to the shadows at your very feet. Second, I don’t control Violet. Never have. Never will. But third, and most importantly—” He lowers his voice. “She really, honestly hasn’t thought about you. At least not since the second she set eyes on me.”
Uuuuuuuu a lahko kdo prinese aloe vero za princaaaaaa, he just got buuuurneeeedddd!!!!
Ampak najbolj od vsega je pa LJUBEČ. In vsakič, ko je Violet poklical z vzdevkom “LOVE”, sem se utekočinila.
“Do. You. Still. Love. Me?” I enunciate every word and lean right into his space just to prove that I’m not intimidated by him. He cups the back of my neck and pulls me within inches of his face—close enough to kiss. “I could reach the rank of Maven, lead armies of dark wielders against everyone we care for, and watch every vein in my body turn red as I channel all the power in the Continent, and I would still love you. What I did doesn’t change that. I’m not sure anything can.”
“Aretia is the second most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” He hands me his reins, turning those gorgeous, gold-flecked onyx eyes into weapons capable of melting the underwear straight off my body as he looks up at me. “And my home is the first.”
Unh. Yeah, I flat-out liquefy.
(SAME VIOLET SAME 💦)
Da ne govorimo o tem, kakšen LJUBIMEC je. Shranjujem si sexy izseke v ločen dokument. Ga bom delila na newsletterju.
VIOLET=FEMINISTIČNA IKONA????? NAJBOLJŠA PUNCA EVER??? NAJBOLJ PLEMENITA PRIJATELJICA??? VSE TO!!!!
V celotni seriji mi je zelo všeč enakopravnost spolov, ki je pač samoumevna. Noben se s tem ne ukvarja, teh vprašanj ni na sporedu, smo enakopravni in to je to. Violetin odnos do sebe in do Xadena? Watch and learn, girls. Watch and learn.
“I’ve never sought a crown, and besides, it’s not in Halden’s nature to beg forgiveness of anyone. I closed the door and didn’t bother speaking to him until a few weeks ago. He didn’t love me, not in the way I deserve to be loved, and no amount of power is worth staying with someone who doesn’t love you.”
“Xaden comes first for me.” It comes out so self-sacrificial that I half expect my mother to appear and smack me upside the back of my head. “Just so we’re clear. But I will never stop being the woman he fell in love with in order to morph into whatever doormat you think he requires. We’re already balanced because we’re both strong for ourselves and each other. He needs me to be me, and I’m telling you I promised to help keep Tyrrendor safe, but not at his expense.”
Da je Violet IT GIRL, dokazuje tudi spodnji citat (in seveda dejstvo, da vedno prevzame odgovornost, brani svoje ljubljene, se ne umakne pred nevarnostjo, pač sploh vse o njej, she rocks, res je edinstveno spremljat, kako vstopa v svojo polno moč VODJE):
(Violet Andarni:) “I love you and I want you to feel complete,” I tell her, and she slowly meets my gaze. “I want you happy and safe and thriving. I want you to live.” My voice breaks. “Even if it’s not with me.”
“When things get…shitty, I hope you can look down at it and imagine us sitting there together when this is all over. That’s the vision I’m going to cling to: you and me, holding hands, looking over the city.”
I LIKE MY BOOKS LIKE I LIKE MY CURRY. SPICY 🌶️
Poglavje 12?? IN 25 🥵 +48/49!!!!!! 💦 I can’tttt. LIQUEFYYYYYYYYYYYYYING HARD. Read up, boys. You’ll learn a ton.
Se ne spomnim, kdaj sem nazadnje v kaki knjigi prebrala besedo CLIT. Vedno so kr neke prispodobe, a la “epicenter užitka”, “najobčutljiveša točka”, bla bla bla. Say it like it is!
Tudi queer liki se mi prvič niso zdeli vsiljeni oziroma da so tam, ker je zdaj pač moderno bit queer. Oni so queer in to je to, se ne ukvarjamo s tem, živimo dalje, kot da ni nič posebnega.
ZADNJI DVE POGLAVJI??! PROCESIRAM ŽE VEČ DELOVNIH DNI, I’M SCREAMING IN THE VOID, RABIM TERAPIJO
Že, ko sem zagledala (kaj šele poslušala) Rebeccino playlisto za OS (spotify, apple music, analiza), sem vedela, da se mojemu srcu ne obeta nič dobrega.
Ko sem prebrala zadnji stavek v knjigi, sem še nekaj DNI občutila mešanico prvega heartbreaka in težkega coming down po kokainu.
NE MOREM VERJET. Celo predzadnje poglavje sem doživela v slow motion, zraven sem SLIŠALA pesmi iz playliste, ki jih spremlja pereč zvok pokanja…vej? Ledu? Ne! MOJEGA SRCA.
OSTALE KNJIGE IZ SERIJE:
