", Poppy: "The dagger was given to me by someone I care about. I am totally trash for didn't get explored more. She thought it would kill him. Utter perfection. They split up into smaller groups.

In fact, Casteel is relieved Poppy had Kieran to lean on, and that knowledge helped him get through everything he experienced while imprisoned. ", Casteel: "Probably, but you know what? Neither was freeing my brother or preventing a war. This is not good representation and instead plays into very negative stereotypes about the entire lifestyle.

At a . asking questions does not make poppy special and casteel and kieran need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that. It is still heavily Cas&Poppy so not sure if we are ever gonna have them all together again or just a one time thing from the joining. I will not forget that., Casteel: And I will not be able to forgive you.. This would open up the door for a Kieran/Poppy romance, which wouldn't be shocking as they have a very weird relationship anyway. Seeing me.

Poppy and Casteel had A LOT to work through since he basically kidnapped her to use as ransom against the Queen of Solis in From Blood and Ash. If you had stopped after the first time you referenced her, I wouldve let you walk out of here with just your overinflated sense of self-worth. So fun to talk about this book with other fans! A War of Two Queens is on several lists, but I think it most deserves to be on this one: Most Disappointing Sequels/Prequels. Thanks for your comment! Casteels reaction to Poppy telling him she loved him. Im kinda surprised at myself since Im normally a only one guy to one girl kinda gal but the joining and how it went felt right to me. Poppy: "I chose him when I knew him as Hawke. Holy fuck. To me it felt like she kinda eased us into it since we pretty much saw this coming. That was true the first time I said it to you, and it is still the truth today and tomorrow., Alastir: Penellaphe? What we have here, though, is a masterpiece. I meant desire.

", Poppy: "I'm not sighing every five minutes. ", Casteel: "Everything. Something powerful enough that it has ushered in great change in the past. His relationship is an extension of both of them, but it's still separate. Neither of us will fall. It's still within reach in case you want to stab me. I was expecting her to have a stronger bloodline, sure but I was not expecting that at all. And I don't think Kiran and Poppy cleaving together in the way they do for emotional support is half as far fetched as other things in this series. Jars rattled.

", Casteel: "How do you know that? ", Casteel: "You're right. ", Naill: "That did not look like a love tap. To be honest, every day I half-expected to find the Prince sliced up in all the ways a man fears. We haven't been for a very long time. Casteel dying would be a perfect plot device in that sense.
