Leslie’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Shadow Throne (Ascendance, #3)

The Shadow Throne (Ascendance, #3) by Jennifer A. Nielsen

1 highlight

I frowned. “Why not me? Why is my life more valuable than theirs?” “The value in your lives is the same, Jaron. But not the value in your roles.”

“Wye Mun, as usual, had steered him toward the stories about money, and he had missed the chance to tell them the real story, about a man whose greatness had nothing to do with wealth or power.”
― Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians

“The decisions I made after that moment were not the ones she would have made. They were the choices of a changed person, a new self.
You could call this selfhood many things. Transformation. Metamorphosis. Falsity. Betrayal.
I call it an education”
― Tara Westover, Educated
