""For no human creature, by the laws that govern it, can have led a life whose intimate review is anything but pain. To be frozen in eternal reflections, reviewing all the futility and pain of life, all the pain that thoughtless or intentional acts have caused others, all the spreading consequences of every act--that, to a human being, would be the most dreadful of all torments."" — Aug 24, 2026 04:10AM

"Our Father's Gold by Elisabeth Waters - I'm sorry but I thought the writing was lackluster from the get-go. There's something interesting in the premise, but I think Percy Jackson tackled a similar concept with significantly more success." — Sep 18, 2026 10:09AM

“Oh, that," said the king with a shrug. "That isn't your honor, Costis. That's the public perception of your honor. It has nothing to do with anything important, except perhaps for manipulating fools who mistake honor for its bright, shiny trappings. You can always change the perceptions of fools.”
― Megan Whalen Turner, The King of Attolia
