Lever House, the landmark building designed by Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois of Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, in 1952. At Park Avenue and 53rd Street, it changed the nature of the midtown part of the avenue from one occupied by apartment buildings for the wealthy to one lined with glass-fronted office buildings. In the 1980s it was designated a city landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places.

“If you were to ask me what Throne of Glass is about…

I’d say it’s about the epic journey of a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom.

But if you were to ask me on a deeper level, I’d say…

It’s about how small acts of kindness can change the outcome of the world.

Money to a barmaid, waiting an extra minute to shoot, a warning in a competition, a cloak in a cold dungeon, a message on a wall, sharing your lavender soap.”

Suvi Playlist Update!

I had another song on her official playlist for Silver, but the timbre of its longing never quite fit her vibe. Anyway, found it!

All the lyrics hit (come on now; it begins with “When we were made/It was no accident”) but especially:

I’ve seen my days unfold

Done the impossible

I’d turn my walls to gold

To bring you home again.

So happy to have found this just in time for Valentine’s Day 💖

I think other people have made this comparison before me but I see SO MANY parallels between Elain Archeron and Yrene Towers.

They both want to bring some good to the world after it's seen war and violence.

They are both told (Yrene by Hasar, Elain by Nesta) that they've grown "claws" or a "backbone", after retaliating to Hasar/Nesta's comments.

They're both individuals who don't want to pick up a sword or fight - and are underestimated because of it. Yrene showed herself to be just as capable as every other character who did fight in ToD and KoA and I can't wait for Elain to also come into her own right.

We saw both characters as "weak" the first time they were introduced (Yrene in TaB, Elain in TaR onwards) but when we do see into their head in their book, we see that they're SO much more than that.

I want Yrene's arc from Elain so bad.
