Andrew: What are you hoping for, coordinates? Neil: I'm hoping to know where the lines are before I cross them, but I'm open to drawing a map on you if you want to loan me a marker. That's not a bad idea. The Kings Men

Levi's Rants Pearls

Socities' perception of normal is a learned concept. It's an opinion that was passed down through generations until it eventually became a tradition. It's rooted in people's minds because it has been taught for a long time. But fundamentally, it's just an opinion. It means nothing just because people conform to it. You being different is fucking fantastic, son.

Chapter 21

Levi: Please don’t tell me you're with your sister’s boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend?

Brandon: What? No. Of course not, Dad.

Levi: Fine, okay. It can't be worse than that.

Brandon: He's his cousin.

Levi: Oh, for fuck's sake. Please tell me he's the levelheaded cousin who keeps him on check.

Brandon: To be honest, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Killian is definitely the one who keeps Nikolai in check.

Levi: Fuck my life. Astrid, Princess. I think I'm having a heart attack.

[To Nikolai]

Astrid: Make yourself comfortable and treat this like your home.

Levi: I wouldn’t recommend that.

Astrid: And don't worry. You're welcomed here anytime.

Levi: I wouldn’t use the word "welcome".

Astrid: You're our guest.

Levi: Not one that I approve of.

Nikolai: I was the one who'd noticed him first.

Levi: And you couldn't keep your attention to yourself.

I'm losing my children one by one to a bunch of wankers!

GOD OF FURY

[fanatic-freakshow]

Nicaise had more nobility in him than you. He was more loyal to the Crown than the Council, in the end.

Brandon: You're going to kiss me, aren’t you?

Nikolai: You know I will.

Did you think if you threw down a challenge to fight, I would not accept it?

Prince's Gambit

[fanatic-freakshow]

Okay, perfect people of Tumblr. Counting on you again to solve my doubts. I finished King's Men. What's next?

I've heard there are some extras? Can you direct me to them? And another collection with Jean and Jeremy? What do you think abt it?

I want to read the extras, but I'm in doubt abt starting Sunshine Court. Why? Glad you asked.

Top 3 things I loved so far:

-> The secondary characters aren't just there as decoration. They are real characters with background and stories that affect the main plot.

-> How the characters grew (but not to a perfect state, which is what we see tons of times).

-> Andrew and Neil. I LOOOOVEEE Andrew. I love how she took things really slow, how nothing smutty happened (tired of this concept - which I'm not saying it can't happen! - of curing deep trauma by having hardcore sex with the first hot stranger that throws toxins your way)... They make a lot of sense.

However...

That being said, I was sold this book as a romance, which I think it was a wrong sale. I'm just not super big on sports. I missed more romance scenes. And notice I'm saying more romance scenes, not faster!

What kept me in this book was the characters and what she dedicated to them.. So I'm in doubt.

What are your thoughts?

I can't believe I'm saying this when I'm making a post on a book that shouldn't be read by children, but I've been burned before -> We are allowed to disagree regarding things we like. If you don’t agree with me and like everything about these books, that's fine. As my review is also fine. If you can't handle a grown-up discussion, please don't interact.

I hate you. You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs.

The Kings Men

Landon: One day, you'll take me up on my offer. Brandon: Not even if you're reincarnated as a saint. Landon: Bloody hell, Bran. Don't go manifesting pure torture over a small disagreement.
