She approached his hand, and touched it with her fingers, softly, took it and squeezed it, and hold it tight. In that touch she lost part of herself to her enemy, but perhaps no longer such because he had become much more than that. She reached for his cheek and dry his tear with her thumb. Shen Qingqiu glared sharply at Shang Qinghua, the rat of the man still hidden away from danger and yet... It’s a cruel punishment to hold our council meeting here, but no one says a word, likely thinking the same thing I am—one of us is sitting in the very spot where Father died. Her words force my lips into a thin line. Ever since I took the throne, there’s been no shortage of those who question my authority. But she’s right; confronting Visidia’s advisers as though I’m prepared to fight them will do me no good.

This fast-paced duology opener excels in its careful consideration of the responsibilities that come with power." — Publishers Weekly The plot itself was very disjointed we open up where book one left off and find Amora Queen now and sent off on a journey to find a husband but really on a secret mission she hasn't told anyone about. Which of course also means we barely get any exposure of the other characters who made the story so great in the first book.And for the first time she really thought he deserved mercy. He could be saved, not by her maybe, but he could save himself. Fayt nodded and started to head to the console where Luther had stood just several moments before the fighting ensued. The blond-haired man remained on his hands and knees, shaking his head. Coming off the heels of the last battle, and Amora gaining the throne, we slip into the after-shot of life with Amora as queen. But it's not pretty. Amora struggles to gain the respect and love of her people, and questions herself and her ability to rule. Let's add the fact that she's still bound to Bastian (I won't give away why in case you all haven't read book one). So, when it's recommended to her that she should begin to find a suitor and give the kingdom a sense of safety, she embarks on a tour of the islands. But isn't a husband she has on her mind. It's a way to break the thingie from the first book's thingie that happened at the end. Amora encounters opposition, and she soon finds out that her position isn't as secure as she once thought.

He left as many coins as he could spare for those girls, knowing that they will need them to be able to turn away the unpleasant clients and eventually gather enough to buy out their freedom, one by one. There was never enough. One person can’t fix the shitty world by himself. Yet. Haven’t I laid bare my every intent? I showed you what I've done. I gave you the power. What other proof do you need? Do you want me crawling at your feet? Do you want me to beg you?” H. P. Heseltine, ' Barry, John Arthur (1850 - 1911)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 7, MUP, 1979, pp 192–193 He doesn't mind at all, helping out like this is one of the reasons he is visiting. Even if there is just a selfish search for a comforting place to sleep too.It was lovely to return to this world of dangerous magic and curses and I was very ready to set sail with the good ol' crew. Now, the Moon is the biggest influence on Earth’s tides because of its proximity ― but it isn’t the only influence. The Sun ― with about 27 million times the mass of the Moon ― is always the gorilla in the room when it comes to solar system equations. But it’s a distant gorilla, about 390 times farther away than the Moon, which gives it a little less than half of the Moon’s tide-generating force. Yet it still plays a role. I honestly have no idea how to start this review. All the Tides of Fate was such a phenomenal book, and I am still REELING from that ending!

Beautiful and bloody. Vicious and charming. Dark and romantic. Let All the Stars and Teeth ensnare your heart and soul." —Astrid Scholte, Four Dead Queens the ending though...how do i even begin??? oh yeah, let me keep it short: QZSERTYGUHJ. thank you for listening to my speech. Thank you all for coming.” I make myself sound lighter this time. Friendlier. “I know things are difficult for all of us right now, so I appreciate everyone’s willingness to meet.” Until she closes her eyes and she is transported to where he is busy tearing orcs limb from limb. He is huge, more beast than man, bipedal, but his hairy hands are claw tipped and his teeth are fanged, snarls hissing between his lips.Other than that, I was and forever will be on team Amora and Bastian. It's never going to change and I'm just putting it out there just in case someone wants to challenge me. I love them. They love each other. Even though this whole push pull thing was kind of annoying between them in this book. It was just kind of obvious that they should've been together from the start but noooo - no one said a damn thing. It was annoying.
