This book veers away from being a typical fantasy novel by--well--being a police procedural instead. Becca Cooper is a cop. She is a cop with a nightstick facing swords, and she can hear the voices of the dead and rumors on the wind, but at the end...

“The king lifted a hand to her cheek and kissed her. It was not a kiss between strangers, not even a kiss between a bride and groom. It was a kiss between a man and his wife, and when it was over, the king closed his eyes and rested his forehead in the hollow of the queen's shoulder, like a man seeking respite, like a man reaching home at the end of the day.”
― Megan Whalen Turner, The King of Attolia

“But indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable; and we all know the difficulty of carrying out a resolve when we secretly long that it may turn out to be unnecessary. In such states of mind the most incredulous person has a private leaning towards miracle: impossible to conceive how our wish could be fulfilled, still - very wonderful things have happened!”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life

“Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.”
― George Eliot, Mr Gilfil's Love Story

“The window opened in the same direction as the king's, and there, summer-bright and framed by the darkness of the stairwell, was the same view. Costis passed it, and then went back up the stairs to look again. There were only the roofs of the lower part of the palace and the town and the city walls. Beyond those were the hills on the far side of the Tustis Valley and the faded blue sky above them. It wasn't what the king saw that was important, it was what he couldn't see when he sat at the window with his face turned toward Eddis.”

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
