I actually adore the thought of Cardan and Jude’s everyday life. Like that “I pretend like I hate you, but you know I love you” type of banter, is EVERYTHING. Like he’s so obsessed with her, and everything she does. Jude could kill someone (she has, multiple) and he’d still adore her. I do like how his first instinct isn’t murder though, when compared to hers. They balance each other so well. I find myself thinking about them often, and that’s when you know it’s a good book. When I went into that first book, I did not expect it to become so beloved among my collection.

cardan greenbriar soft quotes
“I haven’t worn anything in days,” the High King drawls, and if there is something brittle in his eyes, nearly everyone is too awed to notice. “I don’t see why I ought to start now.”
“Modesty?” I force out, playing along, surprised he can joke about the curse, or anything.
He gives me a dazzling, insouciant smile. The kind of smile you can hide behind. “Every part of me is a delight.”
“I always supposed I would be delicious,” I hear him say, although I note that he does not take any of the meat for himself.”
“Councilor,” Cardan says, leaning back against the table, his posture the easy languor of someone who’s already in his cups. “Were you hoping for one of these little honey cakes? I could have passed them down the table.”
“And many other matters we were hoping to take up with you.”
“Tomorrow,” Cardan insists. “Or the next day. Or perhaps next week.”
“And I can’t quite think past how wonderous it is that you’re alive.”
“You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those words,” he says. “You don’t want me dead.”
“If you joke about this, I am going to—”
“Kill me?” he asks, raising both black brows.
I think I might hate him after all.”
“But now you’ve explained it,” he says. “And you do love me.”
“I love you,” I confirm.
“Because I am clever and funny,” he says, smiling. “You didn’t mention my handsomeness.”
“Silence,” says Cardan, his manner utterly changed, his tongue a lash. “Jude was just getting to the interesting bit.”
“Cardan looks as though he just stepped off the stage at a playhouse, and while he can glamour himself, I am not at all sure he knows what it is he’s supposed to wear in the illusion.”
“Cardan looks at his reflection in the door of the microwave and adjusts his crown so it’s at an angle.
I roll my eyes, and he gives me a quick grin.”

What if part of the reasons why Cardan wanted Jude to come back so bad from the mortal world was because he was afraid she'd get old and pass away while he lived on?
Oh god it's 3am, make it stop pls. I'm bawling my eyes out.

I’m losing my mind over the fact that Cardan always admired Jude. The reasons changed as the years went on, but that scene where Jude is told that fact, altered my brain chemistry. When we’re told that Cardan never hated Jude, he hated that she brought about these new feelings. And Cardan is SUCH a lover boy, I can’t get over it. He really just wants to be loved and the way he finds that with Jude has me in shambles.

ENG/Укр
«Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop.»
«- Передусім я ненавиджу тебе, бо думаю про тебе. Часто. Це огидно, але я не можу зупинитися.»
