“She hadn't lied. She hadn't betrayed anyone's trust; still, she felt she had done something wrong. Or rather, she had not yet done the right thing. Was there a difference between these two sins?”

“With every choice, even the choice of inactivity, we must shut the door to a host of alternate futures. Each step we take along the path of fate represents a narrowing of potential, the death of a parallel world. The path of fate was more like a tunnel, and it was constricting about her with ever step she took.”

“You are a very special child," the old handmaid said, stroking Eleonora's hair. "You know that don't you?"
Eleonora mumbled a yes.
"You know you are special, but I think that you aren't sure how."
She nodded. That was, indeed, the crux of it.”

I am currently reading "The Oracle of Stamboul" and am about 1/3 of the way through - and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. I love your characterization of Eleanora, and I am loving the steady pace at which the story is progressing, thus far. Also, I must say, the cover of the book is absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing, as well as the feel of the parchment-like paper also gives a unique, era-inspired feel to the novel. Thank you for writing this gem! :)
