Happy Reading!(less)

Hilarious and gross. Lot of monster gore and splatter. I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting to. For Princess Donut, I might be willing to brave the Dungeon myself.

“The only binds are those that you lay on yourself, or those that you allow to be laid on you.”
Rati Mehrotra, Markswoman

“Men prefer to keep power to themselves. They make rules that dictate who gets to use it, and how, and why. I broke those rules when I saved you with my magic, and I’ll never regret it.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“She would not cry in front of this man who had torn her world apart. She would wait for an opportunity and kill him.”

“She would not cry in front of this man who had torn her world apart. She would wait for an opportunity and kill him.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“You were bringing me all those flowers when I was sick, like you were wooing me. How could my poor, weak heart resist?”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“Men prefer to keep power to themselves. They make rules that dictate who gets to use it, and how, and why. I broke those rules when I saved you with my magic, and I’ll never regret it.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“A spiritual warrior accepts his punishment with the same indifference that he accepts his reward.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“You’ve got to learn how to kiss like that,” she said. “What teeth!” She’d meant to say technique, but “teeth” was an equally good choice of word.
“And you are an excellent judge of kissing, are you?” he said, glancing at her, his voice flat.
“A better judge than you,” said Katyani.”
