Okay, but we can all agree that the curse was lifted in one of two ways:

Grimm recklessly casting the counterspell while Leo was unconscious → He probably felt super guilty that Leo almost died. Especially because the curse definitely influenced Leo’s decision to save him. Grimm wouldn’t want to wait another second before getting ride of it after all the pain it’s caused.

Grimm started reciprocating feelings!!! They are legit soulmates so there’s no issue. Except the secrecy!

Either way, guys, please get it together.

I am beyond excited to learn more about Sebastian Grimm in book 2 of the Wildersongs trilogy. But here is a incomplete list of what we DO know about him:

He hates lying to his mom <3

His hair lost its pigment after overusing his magic while casting for the first time

People think he overly scrutinizes spells, but he’s really memorizing them to account for his reading disorder

He planned to take over his mom’s flower trade before discovering he was a caster

His ears turn red when he’s embarrassed

Grimm understood there was a serious issue of Leo’s consent while under the curse (avoided commands, never took Leo’s affection as truth)

He acts similar to his mentor, Phade, who nominated him to the Fount when he was 11

He gets motion sick, poor guy

Phade is the only instructor in the Fount that’ll allow Grimm and Leo to work together

He’s trying to join the Coterie and get a seat in the Citadel so he can change the system from within (we love a man who can organize for systemic change)

People from his village, Dwull, have ostracized him since he was a kid. They blame him for losing control of the rain spell and the subsequent flooding (that distance from others has followed him to the Fount)

He seems only mildly affronted that Leo's Grandmagic threw him out a window in second tier

That man has so much restraint and I just need to know what he’s holding back. Biting his tongue to keep from saying what? Holding himself in check so much that his body trembles from effort. What was he going to do?!

We need his POV in the next book!! Grimm may have be outwardly put together, but Ik inside must be raging.

Leo saying he is predisposed to like anyone who tries to take care of him. And Grimm spending the entire rest of the novel trying to convince Leo to not shoulder his burdens alone. I swear the moments of unspoken care between these two make me weak.

“I needed the curse gone. The desperation was all-consuming, like being drunk, or on stage, or in love.” Leo’s oddly self aware while simultaneously knowing absolutely fucking nothing. Someone help this man.

Please tell me I’m not the only one skeptical of Cassius Bethe in Sorcery and Small Magics?! Like he just happens to bump into Leo in the library. In the confusion, he just so Happens to swap in the most dangerous spell imaginable. And proceeds to give Leo advice that just so HAPPENS to ensure that the spell will definitely be cast? No no no. I’m calling it. Don’t let his overly helpful veneer fool you. That boy is scheming.
