“19. A brother said to a hermit, 'How does the fear of God come into the soul?' He said, 'If there is humility and poverty, and no judgement of others, the fear of God will be present there.’

20. A hermit said, 'Let fear, humility, fasting, and weeping, take root in you.'”

I’ve always wanted to read a fantasy series like this. The prologue is already off to an exciting start

Orwell seems like a very “glass half empty” kinda guy

There’s no way this is a true fucking story

I think I’ve found the perfect book to cure this slump

Red Rising was so good that I feel pulled into a reading slump

I just gotta read some bullshit for right now

A gay love story from the 1800s?

I’m down

It’s a small victory in the grand scheme of things, but you can truly start to see Darrow’s goal become true in this moment! Making “enslaved” Golds feel equal to him in his leadership, sticking to his side as they defy Apollo’s orders, AND THEN they all taunt the proctors and chant Darrow’s name?! Darrow might not realize it, but you can tell he was born to become a revolutionary!

Just wanna say that I think Sevro is a pretty cool character. When he was first introduced I expected him to be one of those prick one-liner characters that just stay on the sideline — but now he’s easily one of my favorites. I’m hoping I get to see him in the next book.

What an insane series of events. Darrow topples House Minerva, outsmarts House Diana, leading House Mars with a successful victory on those two fronts. Everything seemed up for Darrow, but the Jackal shifted his momentum immediately.

And to transition into the next part with him dying again, I feel like that’s gonna be something symbolic.

WHAT A CLEAN TAKEOVER

If I was in Cassius’ position I’d probably do the same. It’s just a downhill battle from here especially for Titus — they can’t live on berries and raw food forever. I’m surprised no one from his side has considered taking a peek and has switched to Darrow’s side already.

Such a heartbreaking ending to part 2, Julian was such an innocent character..

It’s midnight but I’m debating reading till I get Cassius’ reaction

This part of the book feels like Harry Potter but instead of magic — everyone’s a Viltrumite.

Widen your beliefs and explore every culture.

Part One was interesting, seeing Winston in his solo life, silently wishing he could escape this life, in this abusive mindset that having his own thoughts is a death wish. The beginning of Part Two was crazy, Julia being disloyal to INGSOC even after being so coated in the parties campaigning. It makes me wonder how someone this deeply rooted from a young age has this flaming urge to rebel.
