“Humans were so circular; they lived the same slow cycles of joy and misery over and over, never learning. Every lesson in the universe had to be taught billions of times, and it never stuck.
Maybe it was good that the world forgot every lesson, every good and bad memory, every triumph and failure, all of it dying with each generation. Perhaps this cultural amnesia spared them all. Perhaps if they remembered everything, hope would die instead.”

"Anna," Josh interrupts. "If I had a euro for every stupid thing I've done, I could buy the Mona Lisa. You'll be fine."

Josh is basically me lmao.

“Blue. My name‘s Blue Sargent.”
“Blair?”
“Blue.”
“Blaize?”
Blue sighed. “Jane.”
“Oh, Jane! I thought that you were saying Blue for some reason.”

People were defined not only by what they'd done, but by what they would have done, under different circumstances, molded as much by their regrets as their actions, choices they stood by and those they wished they could undo. Of course, there was no going back - time only moved forward - but people could change.
For worse.
And for better.
It wasn't easy. The world was complicated. Life was hard. And so often, living hurt.
So make it worth the pain

“He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.”

Not gonna lie but this book totally destroyed me and left me deader than the dead. So yeah I won't say much more otherwise I'll self-combust due to the amount of uncontainable feels.

"Hey, slow breaths,” Cassia said.
Solara hadn‘t realized she was gasping. “Right. Sorry.”
“If you faint among pirates, don‘t bother waking up.”
Oh god. That was not helpful."

This book made me laugh so much (4 stars)

"It was mint and memories and the past and the future and she felt as if she‘d done this before and already she longed to do it again."

"Imagine, and it shall be. There are no limits."

I absolutely adore The Crown's Game. If you like magic, Russia, royalty, a lovely romance subplot, and detailed historical references (this book is very well researched trust me) - I highly recommend it!

And its sequel is AMAZING TOO!!!

“Inej had once offered to teach him how to fall. "The trick is not getting knocked down," he'd told her with a laugh.

"No, Kaz," she'd said, "the trick is in getting back up.”

"These pictures are my heart. And if my heart was a canvas, every square inch of it would be painted over with you." *swoon*

“Who we are is written in the stars.”

A beautiful and heart-felt story.

The aspect that I love most about this novel is the loveliest thing called friendship. This book makes me want an awesome friendship group like this one too. Read this book if you love hilarious friendship groups.

Emotions are written beautifully. Raw human psyche brilliantly portrayed. It's a solid 4 stars read for me!
*Big thanks to NetGalley for the eARC*

"When Ronan thought of Gansey, he thought of moving into Monmouth Manufacturing, of nights spent in companionable insomnia, of a summer searching for a king, of Gansey asking the Gray Man for his life. Brothers." - Maggie Stiefvater

“As he stepped out of the science building, he tipped his head backward, as if Ronan Lynch - dreamer of dreams, fighter of men, skipper of classes - might somehow be flying overhead. 
He was not.” ― Maggie Stiefvater
