"I'm enjoying this a lot, but I have to say that when an MC is constantly referencing a mysterious past, it distracts me from the current story. I'm so busy trying to piece those crumbs of details together that I have a hard time focusing on the extreme circumstances of the present narrative." — Sep 23, 2025 07:39PM

"This is very fun so far, but for some reason, this kind of humor (like Princess Bride or anything written by Terry Pratchett) is difficult for me to take in large doses. It's funny in the most ridiculous way, but it only holds my attention in small bites. So. I'll keep reading, but only after a palate cleanse with something more sincere." — Jun 21, 2025 05:08PM

"I'm going to put this down for now. I just realized it's part of a series that isn't finished, and I'm not in the mood to get invested in a partially constructed story. I do want to come back to it, though, when other books are written because, as chaotic as it is, I was enjoying the ride." — Jun 14, 2025 09:27PM

“There will be more danger when the rebellion is ended, I promise ye that, for there’s nothing so dark as a heart that’s lost hope.”
“What is the verdict of the vastest mind?
Silence: the book of fate is closed to us.
Man is a stranger to his own research;
He knows not whence he comes, nor whither goes.
Tormented atoms in a bed of mud,
Devoured by death, a mockery of fate.
But thinking atoms, whose far-seeing eyes,
Guided by thought, have measured the faint stars,
Our being mingles with the infinite;
Ourselves we never see, or come to know.”

“Perhaps real wisdom lies in not seeking answers at all. Any answer we find will not be true for long. An answer is a place where we can fall asleep as life moves past us to its next question. After all these years I have begun to wonder if the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.”

“It was too easy to die for what was good or beautiful, for home or children or a civilization - it needed a God to die for the half-hearted and the corrupt.”

“Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man - there never has been such another. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronised; who never made arch jokes about them, never treated them either as "The women, God help us!" or "The ladies, God bless them!"; who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension; who took their questions and arguments seriously; who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend; who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything "funny" about woman's nature.”
