Iconic Crescent City Quotes on Love, Loss & Light Every Romantasy Reader Will Treasure

Hi book besties,

Welcome back to our Crescent City quotes series! In Part 1, we explored the bold and empowering words that captured themes of Power & Growth. If you missed it, definitely check it out — those quotes are like a battle cry for anyone who’s ever needed strength in dark times. 💪🌌

But Crescent City isn’t just about grit and survival — it’s also about the heartbeat underneath it all: love, friendship, loss, and the light that always finds its way back to us. That’s what makes Sarah J. Maas’ writing so unforgettable: the way she can devastate us with grief on one page, then remind us of the beauty of love and hope on the next. 🥹💖

So in this Part 2, we’re diving into the quotes that tug at our heartstrings and remind us why Crescent City is so much more than a fantasy series — it’s an emotional journey we carry with us long after we close the book.
