“I’ve seen most of what
there is to be afraid of in this world, and to tell you the truth,

blurry. Eyes remember for much longer.”
― Kendare Blake, Anna Dressed in Blood

“Master Graves was incensed and said, as punishment for my disruption, I would have to write my letters an extra ten times that day.

― Jennifer A. Nielsen, The False Prince
