From more recent works, though, I have to say I love Karou and Akiva from Laini Taylor's fantastic Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, and Nazafareen and Darius from Kat Ross's The Fourth Element series.(less)

There are time when I can't make progress, but those invariably have to do with life circumstances preventing me from writing, or from something in what I have previously written, so that I have to go back and fix it before I can move forward, and I just haven't figured it out yet. A writer is not a machine; even someone with no other obligations cannot just write and write and write nonstop for eight hours a day, seven days a week, without pause. We all need fallow periods.(less)

Conceptually intriguing, but lacking in execution. I couldn't care about any of the characters, and when the first quarter of your book is repetitive wheel-spinning while waiting for the action to start... yeah no, sorry, I'm out

The Starving Saints by Caitlin  Starling
"as with so many recent fantasy releases, this is more of a pinboard of a novel instead of the novel itself, which is a pity because the novel it is pinboarding is quite good! what we get is still tense and yucky (compliment) while also being beautifu" Read more of this review »

“I don't put up with being messed around, and I don't suffer fools gladly. The short version of that is that I'm a bitch. Trust me, I can provide character references.”
Robin McKinley, Sunshine

H. Jackson Brown Jr.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

“I expected something a little more castle-shaped," said Jamie.
Nothing lasts forever," Nick said. "Except demons, of course."
Has anyone ever told you that you're a charming conversationalist?" Jamie asked.
No," Nick replied honestly.
I cannot tell you how much that surprises me," Jamie told him, and Nick gave him a half smile.”
Sarah Rees Brennan, The Demon's Lexicon

“Fear's useless. Either something bad happens or it doesn't: If it doesn't, you've wasted time being afraid, and if it does, you've wasted time that you could have spent sharpening your weapons.”
Sarah Rees Brennan, The Demon's Lexicon

“If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me.”
