#A Reaper At The Gates

[brothersnackariahsbitch]

The Ember in the Ashes series absolutely deserves as much attention as all the most popular fantasy books. Those books are so beautifully written and carry such important messages. I’ve never read a book that’s felt so fanciful but still felt so relevant to this world.

when helene’s chapters changed to “blood shrike” and elias’ chapters changed to “soul catcher”

no thoughts, just

“look at me.” he is about to say my name — my heart’s name — the way he did in his mind when i sang him well. and if i let him, i will be undone. “look at me. hel — ”

“blood shrike, captain harper…. i am the blood shrike. you would do well to remember it.”

for a moment, he is frozen, pain flashing nakedly across his face. then he stands and salutes, the consummate mask once more. “of course, blood shrike, sir. permission to return to duty.”

“Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters.

Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again.

Curse it for forcing us to endure.”

No one: do you have a happy life?

Veturius: Until Laia of Serra's legs are wrapped around my waist, yes I have.

It’s been a while since I last read a book as fast as I read this one. Awesome from start to end. And also, poor Helene just can’t seem to catch a break, lol.

Love. I sigh. Love is joy coupled with misery, elation bound to despair. It is a fire that beckons me gently and then burns when I get too close. I hate love. I yearn for it. And it drives me mad.

—Laia of Serra, from A Reaper at The Gates (2018)

all the beauty of the stars means nothing when life here on earth is so ugly.
