storygraph monthly wrap-up graphic. zilver has read 3 books, a total of 1082 pages, and gave an average rating of 3.92. all books were fiction. the amount of pages read per day slows down as the month goes on calendar view accompanying the previous reading graphic. first week is spent reading “assassin’s quest”. then “kala” and “too cold for snow” were both quick reads. finally “a maggot” is in progress but showing some gaps

fool very adamantly asking where molly is post brain-hack by the coterie…. don’t feel like he is entirely with himself
"FitzChivalry?" the Fool pressed me. He lifted a hand to suddenly cover his mouth tightly, as if he could speak no more. His other hand rose to grip his wrist suddenly. He looked sickened

jean: i trust neil
jean three sentences later:
“If he's still in town you should invite him over for dinner." Jean didn't even hesitate. "That ill-bred child is not my friend."

hmmmmmmmmmm
Jeremy spied a loose thread on the hem of his shorts and tugged at it. "Yesterday one of our rivals came by the stadium to pick a fight, and last night he turned up dead. 25 The police need to do their song and dance to make sure none of us had anything to do with it." "Did you?" That hurt enough to startle a quiet, "That's unfair," out of him, but Trent didn't waste his time apologizing.

also this whole exchange… yeah
He shrugged for me. "You were never really good at it, you know. There was a näiveté to you that none of the ugliness could stain, as if you never truly believed in evil It was what I liked best about you." The Fool swayed slightly where he sat, but righted himself. "It was what I missed most, when you were dead." I smiled foolishly. "A while back, I thought it was my great beauty." For a time the Fool just looked at me. Then he glanced aside and spoke quietly. "Unfair. Were I myself, I would never have spoken such words aloud. Still. Ah, Fitz." He looked at me and shook his head fondly.

i say let him do it fitz
Come with me, I suggested gently. How can Small Ferret kill Old Blood Hater? In an eye-blink he was at my throat. I actually felt the sharp teeth grip the vein in my throat. Snip-snip when he sleeps. Drink his blood like a coney. No more Big Ferret, no more holes, no more coneys. Only Old Blood Hater. Snip-snip. He let go of my jugular and slipped suddenly inside my shirt. Warm. His small clawed feet were icy on my skin.

now why am i gonna cry
We turned in that current as I waited for him to give us direction. Instead, he suddenly embraced me. Son of my son, blood of my blood. In my own way, I have loved you. My king. My young assassin. What have I made of you?

“you love too many” and yet he’s so lonely so much of the time im sad
I've missed your dreams at night. They are not my dreams. They are my life. You are welcome to them, so long as Heart of the Pack does not get angry with us. Life shared is better. A pause. You would rather have shared the female's life. It is my weakness to want too much. He blinked his deep eyes. You love too many. My life is much simpler.

THIS IS SO SCANDALOUSSSS
Deep in that sharing, I finally recognized the reality of the love in her blue eyes. I gloried in the passionate way she pulled me to her and clasped me in her strong pale arms. Later I would recall glimpses of golden hair spread across a pillow, the scents of honeywood and mountainsweet on her skin, even the way she threw back her head and gave soft voice to her fervor. Afterward, Molly whispered in amazement that my intensity made me seem a different man. Her head was pillowed on my chest. I kept silent, and stroked the dark hair that smelled always of her herbs. Thyme and lavender. I closed my eyes. I knew I had warded well my thoughts. It had long ago become a habit when I was with Molly. Verity, then, had not. I had not willed what had happened. I doubted that anyone had. Perhaps, I hoped, I was the only one who had sensed it fully. Then there might be no real harm done, as long as I never spoke of it. As long as I could blot forever from my mind the sweetness of Kettricken's mouth, and the softness of her white, white skin.

also this moment between fitz and verity i 🥺🥺🥺
"I wish your father were alive, and king-in-waiting. And I his right-hand man still. He would be telling me what tasks I must tackle, and I would be doing as he asked. I would be at peace with myself, no matter how hard my work, for I would be sure he knew best. Do you know how easy it is, Fitz, to follow a man you believe in?" He looked up at last to meet my eyes. "My prince," I said quietly. "I believe I do.' For a moment Verity was very still. Then: "Ah," he said. He held my eyes with his

oh okay okay this i can get behind
@capybaroness on twitter quoting a screentime tweet about tom holland playing the lead in the odyssey: “this makes sense if nolan is making telemachus the co-lead and doing his journey to find his dad simultaneous with odysseus' narrative (basically the dunkirk structure)”

and of course THE SUNSHINE COURT by nora sakavic
- can’t say anything sensible about this except that this too made me insane
- i feel many things about jean and jeremy and cat and laila and neil (and andrew even though he says one (1) word)
cover of the sunshine court by nora sakavic, featuring a drawing of a yellow flower quote: “Safety was a dangerous illusion, but Jean still felt the gentle weight of it. He looked out at the ocean to find his center again, hoping the waves and the heat and the impossibly bright sky would burn this ill-advised feeling out of him.”
