“I am writing about my father in the past tense, and I cannot believe I am writing about my father in the past tense.”

“We don’t know how we will grieve until we grieve”

“Happiness becomes a weakness because it leaves you defenceless in the face of grief. It is a testament to my parents that each of the six us feels individually, intimately, known and loved. And so we mourn differently. Yet ‘people mourn differently’ is easy for the intellect to absorb, but for the heart it is much harder. ”

“Does love bring, even if unconsciously, the delusional arrogance of expecting never to be touched by grief?”

“Grief was the celebration of love, those who could feel real grief were lucky to have loved.’ How odd to find it so exquisitely painful to read my own words.”

“What does not feel like the deliberate prodding of wounds is a simple ‘I’m sorry’, because in its banality it presumes nothing.”

“You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language”

Sorry i just had to post all these

“Grief is a cruel kind of education”

“My brother Chuks called to tell me, and I came undone.”

It aches and its literally the first page

I’ve probably blanked out a number of the paragraphs

“WOAH BIG BOY”


HAHAHAHAH AGAIN

“I AM A BIG BOY”


Hearing this with Mar’s accent and seriousness made me chuckle

Finally starting it as an audiobook!

“Even when we win, we suffer.”

Sobbing my ryes out brb

“He walked, unmolested, out of the Little Persimmon, down the narrow stairs and into the night.”

This is probably the second or third time Fonda has used the word unmolested in this way throughout the series and it has somehow molested my reading satisfaction

Fucjing shaking rn i could feel a headache coming

i keep crying in this series

damn shae did not see THAT one coming

HILO HOW COULD U

Listening on audible

I went feral to my friend bcs of Lan. YOU’LL COME BACK FOR ME RIGHT??? (delusional)

I love u lan but dont be mean to andy >:(

“Hilo and Shae were like true cousins to him, but Lan was much older and had always been more like an uncle”

WAIT A MIN ARENT THEY 35-18? 🥲 is that uncle worthy????? I feel so old???????

“You’ve always come across as a reasonable man. But what about your Horn? Does he also want peace? Can we count on him to also be reasonable?”
Lan laid a flat stare on Vang. “The Horn answers to me.”

Like i said. Sexy.

“Lan’s outburst of pique had disguised any other negative intent Doru might have Perceived, and having already agreed to go, the Weather Man could not disagree with the Pillar’s security measures”

U know whats sexiest to me in this book? Lan talking thru the plot of it all. He’s so smart with it too.

“Lan said sternly, “Do I need an excuse to come see my little sister?” When she froze at the apparent rebuke, he winked at her to show he was teasing, and the gesture was both so much like Lan at his most relaxed, and also so at odds with the earnest air of command he possessed as Pillar that Shae laughed.”

Im such a ho for lan

“Now that the hard talk was over, Lan spoke in a more conciliatory tone. “I think our nerves are a little frayed. You should know, both of you, that I value your opinions.”

Lan <33
just love a good communicator 🥲

Ok Lan just made the decision and he unsurprisingly became hotter

Also the internet has ruined the word “aura” for me to take all this “emanating aura” seriously 🤣
