"This is a good little book so far, but it's far from my favorite T. Kingfisher. The MC is too isolated (her side characters are my favorite!), and the closest thing to an animal companion she has is a (probably) rabid raccoon." — Sep 25, 2026 09:21AM

"I keep picturing the dragons in houses and wearing like old timey clothes but that’s not right. They are naked and living in caves!! But acting like Regency weirdos who eat each other. (It’s a whole metaphor for class. We’ll talk about it later.)" — Sep 23, 2026 09:23AM

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "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.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
