Lia: if I had a nickel for every time I ran away in my wedding dress I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

WALTER: The Crown Prince of Morrighan. The eldest brother and sibling. He is adorable and protective. Gives the best advice but at the same time sooooo unserious. So in love with his wife, Greta.

REAGAN: The second eldest prince. Lia's grumpy older brother. Militaristic I suppose. Lia stated in canon that her brothers were low ranking soldiers in the Morrighese military. I think as the 2nd son, Regan definitely can choose to pursue whatever he wants but not as much as Bryn.

BRYN: The 3rd and youngest prince. A freakin' insane person low-key. A genius. He is a mischievous dimple faced little brown/hazel eyed prankster.

Walter and Lia are the closest to each other, cause oldest and youngest siblings, duh. Then Reagan and Bryn are the closest together because they're the middle children.

✩☄️📜 Review:

There is no better way to return to the Remnant Universe than reading Pearson’s expanded prequel!

After learning bits and pieces about Morrighan and Jafir in Pearson’s other works, I enjoyed getting the opportunity to finally read from their perspectives! Pearson allows the reader to view what life was like for both characters after the Devastation. Their gradual development from enemies existing in rival camps to lovers braving hardships together gripped me like no other novel and brought tears to my eyes.

In addition to Morrighan and Jafir’s story, the prequel includes gorgeous interior illustrations by Kate Ohara. Ohara does a fantastic job capturing Morrighan and Jafir’s budding romance on the page. The illustrations in conjunction with Pearson’s text immerses readers in the world of the Remnant and creates a storybook feel that mirrors the tales Morrighan told to her tribe.

“Morrighan” will forever be one of my favorite works by Pearson. Readers often skip prequels because they view them as unnecessary, but “Morrighan” truly is a must read for fans of The Remnant Chronicles and the Dance of Thieves duology!

➤ 5 stars

Books Read in 2022: The Kiss of Deception

↳ Location: Terravin

"A half circle of aquamarine bobbed with boats of red and yellow,some with billowing white sails, others with large paddle wheels churning up the water behind them... Then, maybe most beautiful of all, surrounding the bay were homes and shops that crept up the hills, each one a different color: bright blue, cherry red, orange, lilac, lime, a giant fruit bowl with the Bay of Terravin at its heart, and finally dark green fingers of forest reaches down the hill to hold the multi-colored bounty in its palm."

Help!

I'm making a Dance/Vow of Thieves Playlist for a friend and I need more songs to put in it. Can you write songs that make you think of it/ you listened to while reading the book?

I'm not afraid of death. It sounds quite peaceful, passing onto a mysterious new beyond. It's the dying that terrifies me.

Tavish grinned. “You know, if you die in this battle, you won’t have to marry anyone.”

I choked mid-sip, spilling water down my shirt. “Well, that’s a bright thought. Thanks.”

“I’m a tactician. Always thinking.”

I don't which one of Rafe's friends is my ultimate favorite. They're all so fine and funny in their own ways 🥹
