Winry Weiss said: " This book is truly a gem of Victorian literature. Which indeed means that the pace is slow for today's standards, it's a bit misogynistic and xenophobic, and it's so delightfully loquacious that one might side-eye the English dictionary while reading ...more "

“A man may not believe in the supernatural, [...] but be plagued by phantoms nonetheless. Regret is the ghost that never rests. It rattles its chains and whispers its doleful complaint in one's ear at all hours, until one's dying day, and one cannot help but listen.”
― James Lovegrove, Sherlock Holmes & The Three Winter Terrors

“In the first lesson Dominus Lukel had discussed fighting [a dragon] without armour, shield, lance, sword, or proper training. That class had been a roll-call of almost-famous heroes who had died facing definitely-famous dragons.
I had no armour, shield, lance or sword, and as for proper trainig, well… Dominus Lukel didn't pretend he'd ever seen a dragon, much less fought one.
I did, however, have a cake knife.
And an off-set spatula.”
― Victoria Goddard, Bee Sting Cake
