if I was someone who dnfed books, I’d dnf this one

“Licanius was out of its sheath. Tal’kamar raised it high. Caeden smiled.”

“The child had no source.” I SHOULDVE FIGURED THAT OUT FUCK

“Tell her I love her,” he said simply. “Make sure she’s happy.”

“It’s been my honour to be your friend.”

“Just know that I have no regrets. Not when it comes to you.”

“He’d been the last of the Augurs who might have been saved, and now—from what he had said, the way he had said it—he was going to his death.”

“I will kill them, Ashalia, because this world will end if I do not. But never imagine that it means I do not love them.”

“That in his efforts to save Zvaelar, he was the one who caused its destruction.”

“I’ll tell Davian you’ll be waiting for him.”

“Every time our lives touch yours, Tal’kamar, we are left poorer. And every time, it seems that we have no choice. You are always the lesser of two evils. But never by much.”

“Who are they, then?” “They’re us,” he said eventually. “They’re Thell and I.”

“The old saying is wrong, you know,” he said eventually. “A common enemy does not a friendship make. You can only ever be as good as the people you are willing to fight beside.”

“That memory, above all, Davian had done everything to forget. It was no easy thing, to watch your own death.”

“Change your name, if you must. Divorce yourself from your actions. But become the man the world needs, even if it a man whom you despise.”

“It is a strange feeling, to know one’s death approaches. A stranger feeling, too, to understand that it is necessary, in the service of something greater.”

“The day on which you decide not to question what you believe, is the day that you start making excuses for why you believe it.”

“But she wasn’t Asha.” 😏

“Fate is the master of everyone in this world, and no one with a master is ever truly free.”

“Even if our choices are inevitable, it doesn’t mean that they are not our own.”

“Because the truth, Devaed, is that even if you are right? It doesn’t matter. You cannot deny that we are prisoners of whatever force has burdened this world with inevitability— and what is the point of living if we cannot truly make our own choices? What is the point of living without possibility?”

“In short, Tal’kamar, we are puppets. We live in a prison of inevitability. A mirage of choice.”

“The lesser of two evils, and the the greater good. The most dangerous phrases in the world.”

“For I did not know which was harder to bear: The echo of her passing, or the long silence that followed.”

“Wirr had been so happy, so proud to discover how much his father had changed.” :(

“There was a growl behind me and I turned to see a great wolfhound, so big that its face was at the same height as mine. There was something strange about its eyes— they were too intelligent for an animal, I think.” Diago??!??👀

“What does Licanius mean? It sounds Darecian. You could at least tell me that much,” said the man. “Fate,” said the creature.

all the betrayals and not knowing who to trust 😵‍💫
