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.”

“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

“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
