Maria’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2)

Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2) by Rebecca Yarros

1 note & 1 highlight

I grab my hair into a low ponytail and wrap the fabric from my dress around it to secure it quickly. I’m dead if I can’t see.

This is how you know this book was written by a woman. Women fighting with their hair unbound is a massive pet peeve, so this made me happy.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up,” Bannister said. “It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle—when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
