“If I offer you the moon on a string, will you give me a kiss too?”

Said by Lucien

Part of what makes the storyline of Feyre moving into the night in the second book impressive is the depiction of the Spring Court being a typical, ethereal romantic setting in the first book.

Feyre’s attraction to the enigmatic High Lord and her teasing relationship with his best friend convince the reader That Tamlin is in the soul.

But, while “Moon on a String” Sounds like it was said by Tamlin, it’s actually Lucien’s line. Noticing that things had changed between his two companions, Lucien asks Fire if he gave her an impossible gift, if she will kiss him too. Besides being in keeping with Lucien’s personality, it is vaguely poetic and enchanting, keeping the aesthetics of the book.

“Do you lie awake at night to come up with all your witty replies for the following day?”

Said by Feyre

Feyre undercuts Lucian’s usual demeanor by asking how much work he puts into this facade, Of course, the book provides some necessary humor. However, Lucien does not directly answer her question.

Meanwhile, Feyre only had one passing encounter with Rhysand “giant” at this point, Which will surpass Lucien as the character with the best comeback in A court of fog and fury. Between the two of them, Lucien is the one who probably prepares his remarks while Rhys joins them on the spot. However, it is unfortunate that Lucien loses some of his sharp characterization in the later books, when he is compared with other paragraphs, robbing the reader of more delusions than this.

“To the stars that listen and the dreams that are answered.”

Said by Feyre & Rhys

“To the stars that listen and the dreams that are answered” is the unofficial slogan of A yard of thorns and rosesOr at least it becomes so in the second book when the Night Court becomes the center of the series. What binds Rhys and his inner circle together is that they all dream of a better world, What they build through their unconventional leadership. Feyre characterizes Rhys as a dreamer and a High Lord with a vision for his court, which they are still working to realize.

This motif is associated with the aesthetics of the night court and wishing on stars, Hence Feyre and Rhys’ combined quote. The theme of​​​​​​Dreamers comes up several times in the series as the Night Court allies itself with others who want better for Pyrthian, from the High Lord of the Summer Court to the mysterious Surial. While it may not make complete sense out of context, it’s as classically inspirational as a YA quote can be.

“I was a survivor, and I was strong. I would not be weak, or helpless again. I would not, could not be broken. Tamed.”

Said by Feyre

Fire is still shaken when she says this, shortly after leaving the Spring Court And had to admit that things got bad enough, she had to run away. There is still a lot of material left in the book about her coming to terms with what happened to Amarantha and Tamlin and finding a new life in the Night Court. However, she can still tell herself that she is stronger than anyone outside the Night Court realizes.

She has a lot to draw when she says that to herself. She supported her family for years, saved them all from starvation, and defeated Amaranth without any help from Tomlin. There is a quiet moment where she disavows who Tamlin and Yanth wanted her to be Before charging into another fight she knows that she is capable of winning. Fire’s character arc over the next few books only goes further down the road, as she becomes one of the most powerful women in the country.

“Be glad of your human heart, Fire. Pity those who feel nothing at all.”

Said by Rhys

Humanity vs. Fae is a more subtle theme in the series, as Feyre grapples with what it means to be a High Fae who was once human and some of the Fae characters embrace their humanity. Feyre tells Rhys after defeating Amarantha that she is not sure how to cope with what she has to achieve this, leading Rhys to assure her that it is better to feel such compassion.

Feyre’s story became such a success because of its human, relatable moments As well as the epic fantasy world and plot.
