In the Court of Teeth, I was punished if I called the humans who raised me my mother and father. /Humans are animals/, Lord Jael would say, the admonishment coming with a breathtakingly hard blow. /Filthy animals. You share no blood with them./

No wonder Suren doesn't want to go home in Court of Teeth. They resent humans!

pp.21 😡😟
/Lord Jarel and Lady Nore never let me forget that I belonged to them, despite my title as queen. Lord Jarel delighted in leashing me and dragging me around like an animal. Lady Nore punished me ferociously for any imagined slight, until I became a snarling beast, clawing and biting, barely aware of anything but pain./

Suren is more like a prisoner than a queen. Does she even deserve to be treated this way? What has she done to deserve such treatment? At least in human world, Suren was loved by her adoptive parents. They never treat her like shit. 😟

pp.26 😍
/If I look at him [Oak] too long, I want to take a bite out of him./

After reading this part, I googled how Oak looked like years after the events of Queen of Nothing. I was like...Wait what?! This is Oak now? No shit! I want to take a bite too! 😁

pp.69
/Some people are ridiculous. Especially when it comes to love. -Tiernan/

This is so true! Some people even make stupid decisions when it comes to love.

/Even Tiernan seemed different in the firelight. When he poured for Hyacinthe, he added honey without being asked, as though he is made it that way many times before. And when he handed it over and their fingers met, I recognized in his face the sharp pain of longing, the unwillingness to ask for what you knew you would be denied. He his this quickly, but not quickly enough./

I have a feeling Tiernan is gay. 🤔
----------
Suren seems to resent Oak, Cardan, and Jude so much. Every time she sees them, she can only tell bad things about them. Is someone telling lies about them to Suren? Or everything is true? 🤔
----------
I'm confused. Oak wants to free Madoc from exile? Why?

pp. 120 💋💏❤️
(Suren and Oak's first kiss) Ayiiii!!!!

Oak chose a rapier for the duel. More like a hairpin indeed. What is Oak thinking?
----------
pp.167-168
Ooooh. Oak is actually skilled with sword! Nice!
----------
pp.174
/No one in chains could ever truly love you./

True. Especially to the one who chained you. It's just not right.
----------
pp.201
No freaking way! Suren is made from snow❄️? Whaaat? That's crazy!

/It can be brave to hate. Sometimes it's like hope. -Oak/
----------
pp 249
Admit it, Suren. You're jealous. 😁

/My blood was spilled for the glory of the Kings of Stone who rule from beneath the world, but my body belongs to the Queen of Snow./ -inscription on the stake with a troll's head is mounted

Does Queen of Snow refer to Suren?

/Sometimes life gives us the terrible gift of our own wishes come true. -Oak/

Suren is worried about Oak. ❤️

The troll kings are gay? 😶‍��️
----------
pp.273
/We are interrupted by a handsome troll woman..../

???Huh??? 😶‍��️ I am so confused right now. Is the troll a male or female? It says "handsome" but it also says "woman" and addressed as "he".

pp.279
/My sister thinks that she's the only one who can take poison, but I am poison. Poison in my blood. I poison everything I touch. -Oak/

OMG! 😱
Lady Nore's room sounds horrible. Her room is filled with her victims' remains. I wanna puke 🤢!

pp.301-302
Lady Nore killed her husband, cut off his hands, and made a necklace out of it. Fck, that's horrible! Disgusting!
----------
pp.327
Lady Nore is now bound to obey Suren!
----------
pp.328
/You should have been like us. And instead, you are like THEM. To look at you is something so flawed it ought to be put out of it's misery. Better to be dead, child, than to live as you do. Better to drown you like some runt of a litter./ -Lady Nore to Suren

Really? You asked for a child and the storm hag Bogdana did you a favor. And because she doesn't look like what you wanted you will just resent her and wanted her just die? Unbelievable!
----------
pp.343 😱
Wait, what??! Mellith's heart is Suren's? 😱
----------
pp.349
/Fear is not love, but it can appear much the same. And so too, power./ -Suren

It's so good to be back in Elfhame even for only 5 days 😁
The most shocking part for me was how handsome Oak is after 8 years since the Battle of the Serpent.
I'm so excited for the sequel next year! 📚❤️
