omg

the colors of lies...

Keeper of the Key

Should have mentioned this earlier, but many references to French history, and main supporting characters are Moliere and Racine, about whom I know nothing.

" 'They had been loyal to their King once, and they were still loyal to the king in the window now, and they assumed that once their King had acted, everything would be all right. It was admirable, in its way. They were looking to Oliver to lead and, well, he had better lead."

"...'I must have, like, this sort of instinct inside me that would let me, uh, lead and all and that I shouldn't really *think* too much. You know, trust my instincts. Get beyond my conscious mind, get in touch with the universe, go beyond, like, logic, and use the force...'

'You... find... yourself in a confrontation with absolute evil, and you... are... planning... not... to... think?' "

😂

Finally some answers!

Also, noticing a lot of Christian code-talk: Epiphany, the Way, the mirrors that steal souls, the whole king narrative, etc. The reason why I randomly picked up this book in the first place. The only thing that's really throwing me off is the occasional OMG.

"For the one good thing about lies is that if you tell a lie you often then have no choice except to try and turn it into a truth." ?

🚨 Lord's name in vain
🚨 parents are dumb, not interested in son
🚨 main character lies to parents about what's going on (but did try to talk to dad, who ignored him)

hasn't engaged me yet, and considered dnfing, but that would just suck so i'm gonna plow through
