Which is your favourite quote from this book?

Post by raj_nandani_poet »

My favourite quote is -

"Death lurks at every doorway in the Lands of the Princes. After a while, you learn to defy its influences."

This quote refers to Lands of Princes but somehow I felt it touching my heart. It felt about the retelling of this world in bare form and metaphorical representation.

"This is a world where change didn’t just come at the snap of a finger; change had to be worked for, had to be planned and properly executed."
This is something Beth says and I thought it was a beautiful way of describing the world.
“Give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a very dangerous enemy indeed.” ~ The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

My favorite quote is:

“For underneath this dark and quiet city was a man who liked to dance, and an army that stepped to his beat.”

— We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz

This sentence stood out to me because of the beautiful imagery.
It also has creative word play with the dancing being synonymous with an armies beat. In the way that armies march or how they follow orders.

"Now, this boy is slowly becoming a man. But through the darkness, he finds himself lost
inside his own heart, struggling to discover who he really is. Now that he has conquered the road
on which he stands, he must decide in which direction he will go."

It feels very deep.

"Yes, you may know my name... when it is no longer tarnished by my enemies."
A great chapter ending, and a great way to end off an introduction to a character that had been built up through the story previously (that being, Meldorath).
