“To work through loss, no matter how overwhelming. To create.”
I have found that, in my life, creating does help with loss and grief. ❤️‍🩹

Why can’t anyone say Antonia’s name? Around Darrow?

This book reminds me of Ender’s Game

Starting this bad boy. Hopefully it’s as good as it the last one. 🗡️

“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all a part of the fairytale.”

Sorrow and burdens are a part of life. And they make for some of the most interesting and beautiful stories.

“I’m not poor King Haggard, to lose my heart’s desire in the having of it.”

How many times have i lost the vivaciousness of life in the having of more and more things?

Much peace is found in the simple things in life

“What could we have done to save the unicorns. We were afraid of the Red Bull. What could we have done? ‘One word might have been enough,’ King Lír replied.”

How many times, in my life, would a simple kind word have made a difference? Compelling. I would like to respond in a kinder way today 😌

A snowball fight 😆 🥰 ❄️

I think the magician turned the Unicorn 🦄 human 😳

Oops. They’re siblings 😬

Dang pirates

What if Ben was killed by his own king so he wouldn’t get in the way of his slave trade?

He’s going to buy her 💎

Killer pirates yall

Is this an allegory about God (the Red Bull) his children (the unicorn) and Satan (the old witch)?

Okay so, there’s an old, white unicorn who got caught by the circus. There is a witch that makes others see her as a white mare.

I can’t believe Ben died

“ I think it should be treated with bread for rage and Blood” - Antonia.

Isn’t she the one who was humming the Red’s anthem in the locker room?

Chapter 22. This book is turning into something AWEsOMe! Slow start, but incredibly interesting build. 😍

Could this be EO??

“Freedom enslaves us to lust, to greed.”

Darrow learns many of my favorite books 🙂
The Iliad, Ulysses, Lord of the Flies, 1984, The Great Gatsby. 🤓

I’m now interested in the others, The Colors, Metamorphosis, The Draconic Labels, Anabasis, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Casterly’s Penance.

It’s a Simple and Cold read. Fun concept. Similar to Hunger Games. I’m interested to know how Darrow usurps the powers that be. Does he turn into a gold?

I wonder if Eo dies and that’s what motivates him to rise 🤔

“But Eo’s kindness, her laughter, her fierce will, is the best that can come from the home such as ours.”

“ his owner never gave us the memo about him being possessed by a human eating spirit.” 😂
I love this book

Ender seems un-phased by the judgmental remarks of the mayor. I remember this mindset… One i would like to find my way back to.
