🌺quotes!!🌺
➼skip if u haven't read!!<3

𓆩⟡𓆪 "i'm sure el will adore you."
"did you just refer to the empress as el?"
"elantine is such a mouthful."
"you call me donatella
➼ haha jacks omg🤭

𓆩⟡𓆪 "if he was legend, he wasn't supposed to care. he wasn't supposed to still gaze at her as if she'd just shattered his world with a kiss. he was supposed to laugh at her for being foolish enough to fall for him. he wasn't supposed to lean in closer as if he'd fallen for her, too. he was supposed to rip the cards from her hands and abandon her on the moonstone steps. he was supposed to break her heart. she wasn't supposed to break his."
➼ THAT QUOTE OMG MY HEART🥺❤️

𓆩⟡𓆪 "something cracked inside of tella. it might have been her heart, breaking while he walked away—as if he hadn't just freed the fates and damned the entire world for her."
➼ i think my heart broke while i read that😭

𓆩⟡𓆪“that's why love was so dangerous. love turned the world into a garden, so beguiling it was easy to forget that rose petals were as ephemeral as feelings. eventually they will wilt and die, leaving nothing but thorns.”
➼ omg this quote🥺💗

songs🎧!!

maroon(scarjulian's song)

"the mark they saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones, the lips i used to call home, so scarlet it was maroon// and i, lost you, the one, i was dancing with"

close to you

"pull the trigger on the gun i gave you when we met, i wanna be close to you// break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight"

wildest dreams(this whole song is so telladante coded)

"say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset babe// say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams "

bottom line🫶🏻┊please go read this series, it is seriously one of the best i've EVER read🥺. at first i was a lil scared to read this because ik this one is the least loved out of the trilogy but OMG i loved this book SO MUCH!!! it was so good and it completely swept me away from reality, and i'm so sad its over now😔 but i can't wait to revisit this world and the characters in finale!! thank you so much to my bffs - ellie, ava, lydia, ella, and ally for always letting me yap my thoughts to u and for always being so supportive and amazing!! ily girls so much!! but as promised this book was completely magical, and ✨legendary✨
