well it's been a while since I've just buried my face in my pillow and cried over a character death but here I am now

"Baru drew a big ragged box on the wall in charcoal.
'There. Aurdwynn.'
'A fine schematic, Your Excellence.'"

Muire Lo... my absolute fav

"Someone knocked on the door. She went and opened it.
'You should just say 'come,' Your Excellence. In Falcrest I mastered the ways of doors.'"

I forgot how much I absolutely adore Muire Lo... I'm almost caught up to where I left this book ages ago, I'm so excited to see where the story goes

"...in those eyes she glimpsed an imperium, a mechanism of rule building itself from the work of so many million hands. Remorseless not out of cruelty or hate but because it was too vast and too set on its destiny to care for the small tragedies of its growth."

God if that doesn't strike home right now

Well, Abi (The Knights Who Say Book) has been talking this book up and down on their blog and I had to try it... I love it so far?? Admittedly I'm biased because hearing "Baru loved her mother and fathers" made me perk up but I also DO love the style very much so far. Trying to prep myself for the emotional rollercoaster I've been warned of...
