“My whole life I’ve been ordered about. Now I shall give the orders.”

I’ve never seen Felicity so wounded. “Not me,” she says. “I never ordered you about.”

“Oh, Fee.” The old Pippa surfaces for just a moment, hopeful and childlike. She pulls Felicity to her. Something I cannot name passes between them, and then Pip’s lips are on Fee’s in a deep kiss, as if they feed on one another, their fingers entwined in each other’s hair. And suddenly, I understand what I must have always known about them—the private talks, the close embraces, the tenderness of their friendship. A blush spreads across my neck at the thought. How could I not have seen it before?”

a great and terrible beauty

:)

Did anyone else read A Great and Terrible Beauty when they were younger?

“Where shall we go, maidens? Where shall we go? You must leave the garden. Leave it behind with a sad farewell. Down the river on the gorgon’s grace, past the clutches of the slippery, nippery nymphs. Through the golden mist of magic. Meet the folk of the fair Forest of Lights. The arrows, the arrows, you must use widely and well. But save one. Save one for me. For I shall have need of it. “Offer hope to the Untouchables, for they must have hope. Travel on, far beyond the lotus blossoms. Follow the path. Yes, stick to the path, maidens. For they can lead you astray with false promises. Beware the Poppy Warriors. The Poppy warriors steal your strength. They will gobble you up. Gobble, gobble! “Do not leave the path, for it is hard to find again once lost. And they will take the song to the rock. Do not let the song die. You must be careful with beauty. Beauty must pass. There are dark shadows of spirits. Just beyond the Borderlands, where the lone tree stands and the sky turns to blood…"

“Shall I tell you a story? A new and terrible one? A ghost story? Are you ready? Shall I begin? Once upon a time there were four girls. One was pretty. One was clever. One charming, and one…one was mysterious. But they were all damaged, you see. Something not right about the lot of them. Bad blood. Big dreams. They were all dreamers, these girls. One by one, night after night, the girls came together. And they sinned. Do you know what that sin was? No one? Pippa? Ann? Their sin was that they believed. Believed they could be different. Special. They believed they could change what they were–damaged, unloved. Cast-off things. They would be alive, adored, needed. Necessary. But it wasn’t true. This is a ghost story remember? A tragedy. They were misled. Betrayed by their own stupid hopes. Things couldn’t be different for them, because they weren’t special after all. So life took them, led them, and they went along, you see? They faded before their own eyes, till they were nothing more than living ghosts, haunting each other with what could be. With what can’t be. There, now. Isn’t that the scariest story you’ve ever heard?”

Evie with the Naughty John murders

Okay just saw your Roe O'Calloghan post and I just have to say I COMPELTELY agree.

I literally just finished the trilogy today and my opinion of them is in the fucking gutter lol

It's such a shame, they could have been so good but yeah, same as you I got the ick in book 2 and it just went all down hill 🫠

Wasted potential 😢

Hope you enjoy other parts of the books tho!

SO GLAD OTHERS AGREE! imo this series as a whole wouldve been waaaayyyyy better without the Roe drama/if they were a better character, but alas. it was super fun regardless and i enjoyed the ending! how bout you?
