"I'm torn because I really enjoy Borison's writing, but I really REALLY dislike the audiobook narrators for this series. The wait for the Kindle addition is very long and I have to do audio while I'm at work.
Bah. I'll just have to set this down and wait until I can read it with my eyes." — May 27, 2026 07:57PM

"I'm putting in my Currently Reading shelf because I want to come back to it. But honestly? The world is so insane, and the fact that it's always been this way is giving me too much anxiety to finish this book in one go. As an official country, the US is just as horrifying now as it has always been.
It's important to be aware and be a witness. But I also need a minute to slow the panic attacks." — Feb 19, 2026 07:28PM

"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

“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.”

“Is that "great cloud of witnesses" watching my way so as to judge or is it informing my way so that I may walk it? Do they hide the light so that I cannot see it or do they filter it so that its blaze will not blind me? Can a man see God face to face and live? Can I not see an eclipse better through a pinhole in a paper than without it?
We can't so much see light as we can see things because of it. So I do not meet God in a vacuum -- I meet Him in the world He has provided for me to meet Him in -- in a world of events and of places, of history (time and space), in a world of lives of people and their records of their encounters. I meet God in this world -- in the world of these things...
...and this is the world as best as I can remember it.”

“The rule seemed to be that a great woman must either die unwed ... or find a still greater man to marry her. ... The great man, on the other hand, could marry where he liked, not being restricted to great women; indeed, it was often found sweet and commendable in him to choose a woman of no sort of greatness at all.”

“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.”

“Look at us all -- we are all of us lost and in all of our different ways of pretending, we all fool ourselves into the very same hell.
Look at the cross -- we are all of us loved and one God meets us all at the point of our common need and brings to all of us -- all who will let Him -- salvation.”
