End of 4. Sprawling through time. Fainting at the yew a millennia prior. A run in with You. A mix of emotions, of patriotism, fear, a nerve of anger. Grand design. War medal. But You understand. I do not understand You, even though I know You from the tomes. This is still before the First Death.

End of chapter 20. The fourth death of Sir Una Everlasting. This will be my last entry before the book ends!
The stick no longer worked. You’d remembered yourselves. So I needed a carrot.

“I didn’t know what to say, but my mouth formed the word without me, as easy as aiming a gun. ‘Always,’ I said. ‘Always.’”

End of 7.
“So I said, ‘Yes,’ and it felt like sliding a knife between your ribs, or between my own, or as if there were no difference between the two. ‘The story ends there.’
And this, too, I told myself, was worth it.”

“And for the first time since I had lost the book, everything felt right. It was like an out of tune instrument finally ringing true, a poorly told tale finally making sense.”

Started reading The Everlasting! Seems like a romance story across the ages. They are destined to find each other, although their memories seem to be gone.
We get the story through the perspective of one Owen Mallory, first in a prologue as an adult and then starting again from when he was a child, how he was as a child and where and how he grew up. We open on Dominion’s next war, and Owen is on the front line.
