I feel dizzy and a little sick when the poison hits my blood, but I would be sicker still if I skipped a dose. My body has acclimated and now it craves would it should revile.

An apt metaphor for other things.

I crawl to the couch and lie there. As I do, Baekin’s words wash over me: I have heard that for mortals the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. Your heart beats fast. Your senses are heightened. You grow light-headed, maybe even dizzy. Is that right?

I am not sure I sleep, but I do dream.

#JURDAN #I am obsessed with the simplicity of holly blacks writing #it reminds me of reading Hemingway - how the sentences are so simple but you have to really sit and reflect and think about what is not #being said #because she’s saying a lot and not saying it #THIS ENTIRE PASSAGE - I could write a whole fucking thesis on if #her body craves what it should revile - the admittance that she’s craving cardan #she’s thinking of balekins words and she understands if SHE GETS IT #and she’s trying SO HARD not to feel what she’s feeling for cardan #she’s admitting that she has made the connection herself - that she feels the same way about cardan #and the last line!!!!! oh my GODSSSSS #“I do dream #I DO DREAM???#HELP ME #SO SHES DREAMING ABOUT HIM THIS ESRLY ON #This is why I don’t understand why people think she just jumped to being in love with him #she didn’t JUMP there - she felt it in Book one and went off the deep end at the end of book 1 #but couldn’t because she knew she was betraying him #and just assumed he would hate her after #but it’s there simmering beneath the surface - this love for him this attraction #god it drives me insane
