AHHHHH WORLDS ARE COLLIDING. ROBIN HOBB IS DOING IT AGAIN WITH THE SECOND BOOK LITERALLY KICKING MY FEET AND SCREAMING

nobody writes about both grief and yearning like robin hobb, this woman is an absolute marvel

This book is going to break me

"Stop longing. You poison today's ease, reaching always for tomorrow. [...] Tomorrow will come soon enough, one way or another."

"Half the evil in this world occurs while decent people stand by and do nothing wrong. It's not enough to refrain from evil. People have to attempt to do right, even if they believe they cannot succeed."

kicking my feet and giggling at the prospect of getting to reread this tbh

It's Filthy Rich Vampires, but the names are different.

Buddy reading because of a joke that we all took way too seriously

"framing a violent hatred in the flesh of faith did not make it any less brutal or monstrous."

"Rain still falls during the late rainy season, as do tears even when it's too late."

"We all find our ways of coping in a world which does not understand. That we do not want as other people want."

"We all find our ways of coping in a world which does not understand. That we do not want as other people want."

"And why would a woman's deeds be remembered when there are men's deeds to laud?" jffjjdjdkdkdn

Me: it's so weird why do I feel such an instant connection to Ine he's not even the main character
Also me: /OH/

starting 2024 with some good food thank GOD

"I feel, I assume, how herbivores must feel: jumpy and primed, primed for flight, but generally preoccupied by the daily grind of life."

"Both history and future are fictions. Only the present is real. Remember that."

saw someone in the reviews trying to be clever like "if you want a heavy handed allegory against jkr and british-terfs" and I was like yes, yes that's exactly what I want

"It's been a long time since I've passed through here, and wherever I look, all the changes constantly reassert the absence of anything Palestinian."

"Just being alive took a toll. [...] I exhausted myself trying to achieve the bare minimum, but it had never been enough. My will and my body would always disengage before I got there."

"Sometimes we have to accept sadness and grief, and allow time to heal us."

"[...] we need to understand that sometimes one part of us has to die to allow a new part to grow. You cannot have the old part and the new part living together. The sun and the rain cannot share the sky. For the sun to come, the rain must go."

I'm back again nobody look at me

who are we kidding I'm reading this again right now I feel UNWELL

"It's just easier to push people away than watch them leave."
