Reading a novel, he supposes, is like playing a game where all the choices have been made for you ahead of time by someone who is much better at this particular game. (Though he sometimes wishes choose-your-own-adventure novels would come

“Or is this an ‘I know too much already’ situation?’
‘You do, but I’m not particularly concerned about that. If you were to tell anyone what you know, or what you think you know, no one would believe you.’
‘Because it’s too weird?’
‘Because you’re a woman,’ she said. ‘That makes you easier to write off as crazy. Hysterical. If you were a man it might be an issue.”

Dominian showed his teeth in a nasty laugh. ‘The Great Mother, yes. The old whore we are driving from the land.’
‘As soon as we have taken Her ways for our own?’
Dominian frowned. ‘What d’you mean?’
An earnest student of both history and the modern world, Simeon had been waiting for the moment to bring this up. ‘Did not the first Christians take over the apparatus of the Mother?’ he began importantly. ‘Her threefold incarnation of Maiden, Mother, and Wise Woman, is that not what people in those days called the Holy Trinity?’
