Daughters of Bronze by A.D. Rhine
"Thank you Netgalley and Penguin House for the early ARC of Daughters of Bronze!

"I was lucky enough to get an ARC via NetGalley (thank you!) to read before its release, although I had already pre-ordered a physical copy and now look forward to getting it.

It took me a bit to decide how I felt about this story overall. It’s a story" Read more of this review »
Daughters of Bronze by A.D. Rhine
"An intense and incredible sequel that works as a standalone. I especially enjoyed the depiction of the women of Troy as strong, brilliant women, fighting for their homes at their men’s sides and not as dolls without agency of their own."

Quotes by Ashlee Cowles  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tell me, niña, when faced with a serious problem, what do many people ask their friends to do for them? Send up a kind word to heaven on their behalf, no? It's the same with the saints. They are just people, but perhaps they have a better perspective than we have down here.”
Ashlee Cowles, Beneath Wandering Stars

“...I was sick of the show, weary of the pretense...Well no more. From now on, the one trait I'd demand of any person I associated with was honesty. And this cafe was filled with gossiping liars.”
Ashlee Cowles, The Poppy and the Rose

“Some say violence is the result of clinging to the past, but I believe it is more often the consequence of forgetting it—of forgetting who we are, a core nature not even time can change. Humankind will never avoid tragedy by keeping our eyes fixed to the horizon’s rosy glow, for only those brave enough to peer into the past can hope to see the lighthouses meant to warn us of jagged rocks. If we are to weather the storms of the future, we must first defeat the neglect of memory.”
Ashlee Cowles, The Poppy and the Rose

“The incarnate angel of Tolkien’s mythology, Gandalf the Grey, said it well in a conversation with Frodo. “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” laments the young Hobbit. “So do I,” Gandalf replies, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Bradley J. Birzer, J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle Earth

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
