"One could go mad behind the walls without some study--people, that was my subject."
"Their virtues or their faults?"
"Their voices, who they truly were."
"He had his mother's eyes and her capacity for extremes. He was the lion in the old tale with a thorn in its paw. Wounded, trapped in anger at the world's evils, he would not find his lost brother. He could search all of London and find only injustice and pain.
She was the mouse, the partner, who could free him as he had freed her."
"Bringing a doxy from his bed to a family meeting about Kit's fate proved Will capable of every kind of selfish, decadent, unthinking folly."
- Is it completely wrong of me to find that statement hilarious when said meeting included their mother, a courtesan who had a child with each of her noble protectors???
"This time he'd not follow her. He had no claim on her."
- That's the most sensible thing I've hear yet.

do you like it at least?
Monique wrote: "do you like it at least?"Not yet. It had an interesting beginning, but then it just... I don't know how to describe it. Things are happening and they really make no sense. They're not bizarre or anything, but no motivation or depth has been created so it's just like hearing the author recite a string of actions. Weird.
They're already attracted to each other and he keeps saving her, but I don't understand why. No real reason has been given for any of it beyond them being the hero and heroine of this book. It's perplexing.

Well, sometimes, the book remains amusing even for its lack of logic.
Nisha wrote: "*book falls off the tbr shelf* Well, my reading this depends on you, Catherine."I hope it improves. The writing isn't bad, but I need some motivation. I need a reason for these things to happen and for them to like each other. A reason more compelling than just because the author says they do. ;)
