rw-book-cover Metadata Author: [[T.A. Lawrence]] Full Title: A Bond of Broken Glass Category: #books Highlights She really was a horrible servant. But a sister? She was pretty stinking good at that. (Location 830) But it did reinforce the lessons that my father had taught me from a young age. The fae will go to great lengths to omit the truth, or give you just a sliver of it. That way, nothing they say is an outright lie. Never mistake such for the full truth. (Location 1065) So there it was: confirmation that the solution to our betrothal truly did lie with the king. Hope rose in my chest, but I tried to dampen it, lest I find myself disappointed. “Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the can’t-lie-can’t-break-a-bargain-curse?” “Oh, not nearly as much as we would like for it to,” he said, leaning against the bedpost. “If I had it my way, I would be free to lie as I wished.” I raised a brow. “So you wouldn’t have to admit to your mistresses that they’re not as unique to receiving your attention as they might think?” He pointed a knowing finger at me. “My thoughts exactly.” (Location 1104) Tags: [[pink]] “I’d tell you to wear something pretty tonight, but I figure that would just offend you.” (Location 1135) Tags: [[pink]] “I understand that, Your Majesty.” Though I didn’t, really. I didn’t get the impression that Queen Evangeline had much sway in how the kingdom was run, but nevertheless… “I do not desire the throne.” “Is that so?” The king cocked his head, studying me, and then in a sultry voice, not unlike the one his son so often used, he asked, “And what do you desire?” I swallowed. I hadn’t noticed until just now how commanding the king’s presence was. How brilliantly handsome he was. It wasn’t attractive so much as it was devastating. Still, I straightened. The king might have been handsome enough to knock my carefully practiced speech right out of my head, but his question was simple, one I might as well have been practicing my whole life to answer. (Location 1389) Tags: [[orange]] “I don’t understand…” “Ah. Let me make it clear for you. I don’t believe my son could ever pick a female as fit for ruling as you.” (Location 1418) “Please don’t do this. Please.” “My dear,” he said as he turned away, “I have utmost confidence that a woman as industrious as yourself will learn to make the most of it.” (Location 1431) She’d failed. I’d stood outside the dining hall, eavesdropping on the conversation between Ellie and my father. Ellie had failed to convince my father to sever the bond, and now I was going to be stuck with a woman who thought little more of me than a common whore for the rest of my life. Well, her life. (Location 1466) Truth be told, I have no desire to flirt with someone with a list of bedmates behind him that could probably span the length of this table. (Location 1470) Tags: [[pink]] I couldn’t decide which was worse, the words or the crimson that had flushed my mother’s cheeks at the statement. I’d told Ellie to sell it—her hatred for me. Not to humiliate my mother. As if that weren’t enough, she’d failed to convince my father of much of anything except that she’d make a better ruler than me. Well, that part was probably true. I wasn’t fit for the crown. I knew that. My father knew that. The entire kingdom knew that. (Location 1471) Tags: [[blue]] The seat in the shadowed corner of the bar was empty. A tankard full of ale sloshed on the table before I even had the chance to sit down. I may or may not have been a regular customer. The bartender may or may not have figured out who I was a few decades back, and I may or may not have been paying his lease in exchange for his discretion. Whatever. This place had been good to me. Oh yes. It’s been real gracious, supplying you with cheap ale that has you in bed all day with women you can hardly get to leave it, was what Blaise would say if she could hear my thoughts. (Location 1484) Tags: [[blue]] While my reputation among ...
