INP part 3- One Dark Throne INP#2

 

“They are saying I ran home with my tail between my legs.”(94)

 

Arsinoe was talking about how the poisoners were talking about her being weak and comparing her to a scared animal.

 

“Arsinoe’s stomach as tight as a fist.”(101)

 

This quote uses a simile to compare Arsinoe’s stomach to a clenched fist in order to explain the feelings she was feeling.

 

“He enters the room ahead of her, so he does not see it when she takes up a short-bladed knife.”(137)

 

Katharine is about to avenge her near death by attacking her former boyfriend who through her off a cliff.

 

‘“Bree can hardly slice a sandwich.”’(155)

 

They’re talking about Bree because they need her to do a task but she isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

“She has taken down her hood, and red hair blazes past her shoulders.” (157)

 

I like how they compare her hair to fire, it’s a pretty picture to imagine.

“In the clearing, beneath the bent-over tree, Arsinoe lets Madrigal take fresh blood from her arm.”(159)

 

 

 

Arsinoe is dealing with low magic and I think something will go terribly wrong in the next few chapters.

“‘She is not clever.” Elizabeth’s voice is low as she wipes her eyes with the back of her hand. Mirabella puts her arms around her. “She is cruel.”(158)

 

 

 

They’re talking about Katharine because in this book she starts off sweet and innocent, then gets thrown off a cliff by her boyfriend, survives the fall, and comes back cruel and full of anger.

 

 

“Low magic always wields its own will.”(161)

 

Low magic is this books equivalent of dark magic and Arsinoe is unable to control it.

 

 

 

“I kept seeing images of my sisters… memories.”(163)

 

Arsinoe starts getting visions of how her sisters grew up, maybe it has something to do with them being triplets?
“‘Stop being such a child! If you win, you get to live, and that’s better than nothing!”(172) Jules compared her queen to that of a child because she was so afraid of losing her best friend, she wanted Arsinoe to fight with everything in her.
“‘I wasn’t going to hit you… not any harder than usual,”’(172) Jules says this to Arsinoe in a sarcastic way that I can relate to my life because this is how my sisters and I interact.
“In the market, there are so many white-robed priestesses that it looks like a raid.”(186) This is a simile that describes how the town looked with all the priestesses during the festival.

 

“Mirabella expected glares from poisoners.”(191)

 

She expected to be treated with disrespect in the land, but she got no reaction out of them.

“She is arm in arm with her suitor, the handsome boy with the golden-blond hair.”(191)

 

 

Mirabella had eyes on her sister’s suitor much like how she had eyes on Jule’s boyfriend.

 

“Arsinoe runs from the gathering at the cove.”(197)

 

When she found out her friend died, she couldn’t handle being in the same area as his body.

“Maybe she was mistaken, and the lanterns she saw from Joseph’s window were an illusion or a dream.”(207)

 

 

She missed her friend so much that she started to see hallucinations of him and started to believe they were real.
