Welcome to Litsy!

This series is a lot of fun!

Here‘s my list for #Scarathlon #BatBrigade

I loved this trilogy! All the characters have stolen my heart and I‘m sad to say goodbye to them. It helps that everyone got the ending they deserved. 5/5

So good and addictive! I loved everything about this trilogy. The prison setting is amazing. All of the characters are unique, and I couldn't help but love them and wish they were my friends. The relationship between Kiva and Jaren had me as invested as anything that Maas writes. I can understand why these authors are friends. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! #highlyrecommend #serieslove2023 #readyourtbr

The final instalment doesn't disappoint & leaves you not wanting to leave Evalon, the wonderful characters & what might be in store next. Noni weaves another twisting tale of hurt and betrayal weaved with hope & love. You are kept gripped as you follow Kiva on another desperate journey to save those she loves & restore what should be in Evalon. This is a great series for lovers of The Hunger Games, ACOTR, Daevabad series & many more.

Outside of a near death experience for my favorite character; which I read in complete outrage, anguish and no small amount of murderous thoughts, this was a great book.

Don‘t touch my favorite character. He is my book husband and I will die for him. And while we‘re at it, stay away from my book wife too. She is my queen, and I adore her.

3 ⭐️ only because I loved Caldon‘s and Cresta‘s so called relationship. Everything was predictable and obvious It dragged on for so long, that it just felt boring before we finally returned to the plot.

5000 stars. A wonderful conclusion to the trilogy, I LOVE these books, I‘ve gone back to book 1 to start again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finished this book yesterday but am writing this review only now because I had no idea what to say. To be completely honest, I still don‘t know. I know I loved this book and its characters. I know that it was beautifully written and caused me tears on multiple occasions, that counts for something. I know that I stand by my rating of 5⭐️. This book has inspired me. I‘m happy with the ending but will still miss the characters and world.

“Now, we dream.”

They were her hope.
They were her strength.
They were the reason she would not give up.
Could not give up.

“We‘re in this together, Sunshine. You and me. Got it?”

Once there, Torell looked straight at Jaren and said, “Protect her.”
More serious than Kiva had ever seen him, Jaren replied, “With my life.”

“Promise me you won‘t do anything stupid.”
His emerald eyes were solemn, but there was a hint of mirth there too as he replied. “Define stupid.”

“Emotional drama?”
Kiva waved a hand between them. “What would you call it?”
Amusement lit his face. “I didn‘t realize we were giving it a name. But how about That Time on the Mountain When You Finally—“
Kiva pressed a hand over his mouth. “You‘re right, no name needed.”

“There‘s no point in living in what-ifs. Don‘t waste energy fearing problems that don‘t yet exist.”

“Take all the time you want, Sunshine,” Caldon said, tucking her under his chin. “I‘m not going anywhere.”

“I‘m sorry you lost your family, but I‘m glad you‘re a part of ours now.”

“I‘m not a victim”
“That‘s right,” Cresta stated. “You‘re not a victim. You‘re a survivor.” She held Kiva‘s blurry eyes. “So start acting like one.”

“Your future is as bright as the stars.”

He‘d earned her respect, but he‘d won her love.

“It l-looks like a rainbow v-vomited on it,” Tipp observed, his head cocked to the side. A wide grin stretched across his face. “I l-love it.”

“You made me fall in love with a lie.”

“Have you talked to him?”
Kiva tossed her magic slowly from palm to palm. “Talked to him?”
Tor‘s lips twitched. “Yeah, Mouse. You know, that thing where your mouth moves and words come out?”

“Come and wake me. I‘ll battle your demons for you.”

“So instead of dwelling on what was lost, try to remember that as important as it is to mourn the dead, it‘s just as important to celebrate the living.”

He would always save her—she knew that like she knew her own name.

“Small steps are still steps.”

“I can‘t change the past. But I can still be annoyed by it.”
“That‘s a life motto right there.”

“Hard conversations are never easy,” Kiva said.
Tor snorted. “That‘s a terrible sentence.”

“You are who you decide to be, Kiva.”

“Love isn‘t something you can turn on and off at will.”

Be the light in the dark.
I am the light in the dark.

“Get it out, Sunshine. You‘re alright. I‘m here.”

Love made fools of them all.

After weeks plagued by internal darkness, she was finally able to see a glimpse of light, even if it was just a speck in the distance. She would have to reach for it, to fight for it. But as she was beginning to realize, half the battle was finding the will to try.

“Life is worth living, even the parts that make us feel like we want to die.”

“Everyone deserves to have someone fight for them, even—and especially—when they‘re unable to fight for themselves.”

“We can look at the darkness and let it consume us, or we can recognize that it is only temporary, trusting that once it passes, the light will return.”

“There‘s no such thing as beyond repair.”

“Pain fades, but darkness lingers.”

He was never going to forgive her.
She was never going to forgive herself.

“You‘re facing a mental battle as much as a physical one. You just have to be willing to fight.”
