“She was disappointed to find Castle absent from the party. How could he command her to attend and then not even show up himself?” I am disappointed too! I love a scene with Castle.

Arden didn’t give Castle a chance to respond. She fixed Thane with a leer. “If you have something to say, commander, you should get it off your chest.” I love Arden but sometimes I think she would be safer if she stayed quiet sometimes!

"Until you learn to kill a draithen yourself, you’ll have no respect from me. The challenge stirred something in Arden—a desire to prove herself, to show she wasn’t weak.” And I am rooting for her to do that!

"Pallos, the God of Earth, created the chasm. At least, that’s what she’d heard. It had been there for centuries, so whether or not that was true, she wasn’t sure. But it certainly did a good job of protecting Vallin from everything beyond: Lanthos, the draithen, and whatever else might be lurking in those pine tree covered mountains.” Ahh I am such a fan of lore!

"The only thing that would have made the knife in Arden Forger’s hand more captivating was if it were protruding from the emperor’s neck.” So many of the books I have been reading lately start with a bang, I just love it!
