Ian Green rated a book it was amazing No One to Hold the Distant Dead by K.L. Schroeder (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
NO ONE TO HOLD THE DISTANT DEAD is a haunting elegiac wonder, a slow dream of empty skies that asks the only question worth asking- what is to be done? Beautiful unflinching work that is spare and lush in turn, refusing the lie of the easy answer.

Ian’s Quotes

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
