[majestativa]

The relief that suffused his body was so complete it was unfathomable. It was as if the sickness inside of him was erased, and in its absence? An exhausted peace and calm, like he had come to the end of a long trial.

Sometimes you just have to get to the bottom of something, and that’s what we’re here for. Today, we’re taking an unexpected, unexpectedly thorough at what might be one of the rarest and most maligned heroes in Romancelandia—the Himbo. He’s darling, he’s sweet, and he’s made of nothing but love and abs. Journey with us as we consider the place of these lovable dummies in the pantheon of this great genre of ours.

As she nodded, she realized they would not spend the day sleeping together, side by side, in his bed. Or hers.

She took a sip from her water glass and marveled at how you could sit so close to someone and still have him be totally far away from you.

Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy…For the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistible urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. Yippee.

“Sometimes in life, from out of a myriad of prosaic decisions like what to eat and where to sleep and how to dress, a true crossroads is revealed. In these moments, when the fog of relative irrelevancy lifts and fate rolls out a demand for free will, there is only left or right – no option of four-by-fouring into the underbrush between two paths, no negotiating with the choice that has been presented. You must answer the call and pick your way. And there is no reverse. ”

Just finished: Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward

My thoughts:

I wasn't happy about the dynamics of the relationship between John and Xhex - there are so many unsaid things, so many problems they could have solved faster with just a good long talk.

I was really happy about the women taking part in the fights. ⚔️

Apart from that, it was good, that the Old Laws became a problem once more with Quinn's bloodline not being fit to qualify him as a Brother. So step by step they are going to be updated. And Quinn as a Brother?? Awww.

I just love Lassiter and I really hope, that the future stories will tell us a bit more about his former relationship with the Brotherhood and his lost love. It's also refreshing to read about a character, who isn't constantly in love with someone or having sex all the time.

I'm rooting for Tohr and No'One and him giving her a new name? Very cute.

I didn't like the whole problem with Wellsie in the other realm, though. Yes, there had to be a solution to Tohr's death wish and I'm happy for him, but he hadn't had a choice, he had to start a new relationship in order to save his former wife. Trying to live with all the grief and being okay with it? Hell yes. But constant pressure and fear shouldn't force you to be happy, healthy and in love.

Oh, and when did Beth learn the Old Language?? When Wrath made his statement in the hospital after he was shot (that Tohr was allowed to kill Xcor), she seemed to understand everything and said yes + that she had witnessed it.

[godricsvalley]

Because his was a destiny of yearning, of being outside looking in, of seeing the fire but not being able to get close enough to it to be warmed by it.
