Tale of Tales – Part I: A Strange Bunch (Tale of Tales, #1):
"This story is a curious mystery, an obscure group of mis-matched folks, creatures of the night, a bizarre quest, warriors, chivalry, a cool dog and lots of unanswered questions.

Tale of Tales – Part I: A Strange Bunch (Tale of Tales, #1):
"I really liked this - it was odd in an endearing way. The heroes were both heroic and flawed. It really was a strange bunch of people and tales but strange enough to not give everything away and to have you liking members of the group, wanting to kno"

quote
“None of us have ever left the borders of this forest, we do not know the way out of it. And to have found yourself here, this means you are lost in the woods, too – if you were to follow the stream backwards, you would never find the place where you entered it, as the water have erased your tracks and the forest have changed, so really you can only get out of it by chance, if you are to ever get out of here alive.”

“She was travelling with a bunch of strangers, whose lives were a mystery to her. She wondered if the others were thinking over such things, this essential unknowing of their own companions, but then concluded that this is perhaps always the way.”

“Water is bothersome in the boot, let alone in the stomach!”

“To lose everything, and remain apart,
darkness always round her, darkness in her heart!
To wander the world, without peace or cheer,
shadow ever pursuing, and escape nowhere!
Young girl, endure, evil takes its toll,
through it all you will emerge with naught, yet pure in soul.
And though shadow may threaten all that you hold dear,
it cannot possess you, nor the beauty that you bear…
At the end of your dark journey you still will feel the light;
out of shadows, a whole empire, kingdom beyond sight.”

“The law of might instead of the might of law was often the reality, the unwritten truth: for the laws to be enforced properly, a righteous force had to be behind them, and where such force was lacking, strength alone prevailed.”
