A couple of weeks ago when my brother was in the hospital we didn’t know for a few days. He’s was there for three days before he called and told us. I mean he’s at basic which I understand it’s hard to call, but he was being treated for pneumonia and cellulitis and it was really frustrating bc of what happened before and after, and I was really upset about it. Plus my mom didn’t want to tell me, my dad did because he thought I should know (I don’t live with my dad but with my mom) so that hurt.

That sounds very upsetting, I’m sorry you had to find out the way you did.

I felt strangely guilty after I found out, because I had been going about my morning with so much joy while the rest of the family was worrying to death. It hurt me to think that I was sleeping peacefully while the rest of the house was in such a panic. Everyone else got to process everything as it was happening, but it was all just dropped on me in one solid weight (”oh, didn’t you know? [this person you love very much] is having emergency surgery and nearly died while you were sleeping. Would you like some tea?”)

Things are better now (the surgery went well, they seem to be ok), but I can’t shake my guilt and resentment, even though I know it’s not rational.

the-bookish-deer:

I don’t see a lot of people talking about the “What did you wake that day in Hybern, Prince of Bastards?” sentence in ACOWAR but it seems pretty important to me.

In my opinion, the Bone Carver wasn’t just playing with Cassian’s feelings in this scene or else Cassian would have reacted quite differently. His face “drains of color”, he knows what the Bone Carver is refering to but we, as readers, don’t. And thinking about it, it may have something to do with Cassian and Nesta’s bond. Perhaps Cassian managed to, somehow, play a role during Nesta’s transformation or even with the acquisition of her powers, even though he was weakened, and hence, linked himself with her (Probably as a way for him to try to honor his vow to her and protect her).

I really hope this sentence will be significant for the rest of the story and won’t just prove to be a pretty turn of sentence to fit with the rest of the scene. I see potential here and I can’t wait for Nesta’s book.
