"This book is incredibly frustrating and I have MANY THOUGHTS about it. I find myself violently agreeing with one chapter and then wanting to throw the book out the window after the next chapter! I have bitched about this book and author to my husband ad nauseum." May 04, 2026 07:18AM

"I really like this book but don't pick it up every day. The world is heavy and sad and scary and sometimes I gotta choose the fluff book." Apr 01, 2025 04:55AM

Lois McMaster Bujold
“A stunning first impression was not the same thing as love at first sight. But certainly it was an invitation to consider the matter.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls

Robin Hobb
“In the space of a sundown, you show me the wide world from a horse’s back, and the soul of the world within my own walls.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand

Lois McMaster Bujold
“Ista sighed at the thought of being a skipping country wench, and not tragic Ista anymore. Though she did not doubt country wenches had their tragedies, too, and much less poetic sympathy for them than did royinas.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls

Peter De Vries
“But I made an issue of the precise wording of the vows. I wanted liberalized ones, with no outmoded Pauline nonsense exacting from the bride the promise to 'obey' the groom. Here I put my foot down, rather in the manner of a husband determined to show at the outset who was boss. 'I'll have no obedience around here!' I said, banging the table. 'Is that clear?'
'Is it an order?'
'Yes.”
Peter De Vries, The Blood of the Lamb

Lois McMaster Bujold
“So I pray the gods may hear even me, and let my whispered yes tower above my shouted no and mount all the way to their fivefold realm.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls
