Tiara’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Disenchanted (Land of Dis, #1)

Disenchanted (Land of Dis, #1) by Robert Kroese

1 highlight

By most accounts, Boric the Implacable was, while he was alive, an incomparable badass. By all accounts, he was an even bigger badass after he died.

“Losing something she loved had ripped her open in a way she had not expected. The pain hurt, but the pain was right. The Order had wrought a galaxy in which good capitulated to evil, where human feelings—Aryn’s feelings—were crushed under the weight of Jedi nonattachment.”
