"I'd heard about this book series and NEEDED it. Growing up as a prequels girlie, I always loved Padmé. Seeing her wardrobe at a SW costume exhibit was a highlight.

Floored that the first paragraph is about the Queen's makeup. <3 Let's go." — Dec 26, 2025 10:33AM

""My rashness and impiety lay in the fact that what I ought to have verified by investigation I had simply asserted as an accusation. . . . Deceived with promises of certainty, with childish error and rashness I had mindlessly repeated many uncertain things as if they were certain. . . . when I contended against your Catholic Church with blind accusations."" — Jan 26, 2025 10:07PM

“The Hero cares not for a wild winter's storm. For it carries him swift on the back of the storm. All may be lost and our hearts may be worn, but a Hero fights forever.”

His words strengthened the conviction of my manga spirit.”
