"The writing style/voice differs a lot from the main character’s inner dialogue vs how she speaks w some other characters — it’s throwing me off a bit. very pretty settings, though. this book kind of needed an intro world building chapter, like a legend or something, to give a crash course to ppl unfamiliar w Chinese mythology, but I’m just enjoying the vibes for now" Apr 03, 2026 10:10PM

Vanessa Le
“...if no one knows a man can control a demon, he can do anything with it. Get away with murder, even.”
Vanessa Le, When Shadows Burn

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“...You’ve lost your faith amd you think I’m crudely flattering you; but how much have you lived so far? How much do you understand? He came up with a theory, and now he’s ashamed because it didn’t work…I regard you as one of those men who could have their guts cut out, who would stand and look at his torturers with a smile—provided he’s found faith, or God. Well, go and find it, and you will live…I know belief doesn’t come easily—but don’t be too clever about it, just give yourself directly to life, without reasoning; don’t worry—it will carry you straight to shore and set you on your feet…”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Ah, don’t disdain life!' Porfiry went on. “You still have a lot of it ahead of you…’
‘A lot of what ahead of me?’
‘Of life! What, are you a prophet? How much do you know? Seek and ye shall find. Maybe it’s just here that God has been waiting for you.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Vanessa Le
“Sometimes, he wondered if that was when his parents had started resenting him…they’d named him Kiet. The way Halberrans pronounced it—flatly, with no intonation—meant “rarity” in the Renisian tongue. But, add a questioning lilt, an upward stroke above the e, and his name meant “disease”’.”
Vanessa Le, When Shadows Burn

“...and entered with seeming earnestness into the plans of my father, although they might only serve as the decorations of my tragedy.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
