Marleigh’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Empire Ascendant (Worldbreaker Saga, #2)

Empire Ascendant (Worldbreaker Saga, #2) by Kameron Hurley

2 highlights

Marleigh’s Quotes

“Like the observation platform, this room was large and dark with a floor-to-ceiling view, but it showed the enormous orange-red star, its surface roiling with heat. In the center of the room was a bare metallic desk with two chairs, one behind it and one in front of it, both occupied by people”
― Valerie Valdes, Prime Deceptions

“Just because something is religious does not necessarily make it insane.” She studied the writing and hummed. “Though this particular something is decidedly fucking nuts.”

“The dead are bound beneath the earth and their tongues stopped with clay but the day will come when they are free to sing the praises of the worm!” “Perhaps a very tiny god,” said Zale, tapping the bars. “A very tiny angry god,” said Sarkis. “Tweedle-tweedle-twee…” “You’ll take it back, won’t you?” said the priest hopefully. “I’ve been keeping it in here, but it scares the novices.”
― T. Kingfisher, Swordheart
