An absolute blast of a book that calls to mind 80s action thrillers like The Running Man, but also with a touch of Shadow of the Colossus. Bill Adams really knows how to nail snarky and damaged characters with a lot of heart. Quick read but a lot of ...more

Quotes by Joseph John Lee  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A people and culture do not cease to exist simply because your eyes have shut.”
Joseph John Lee, The Bleeding Stone

“Civilizations rise and fall just as the tides changes across the flow of time. What is reduced to ash and cinder is reborn as something greater. The choice is only ours to determine whether we wish to be the ash or the flame.”
Joseph John Lee, The Children of the Black Moon

“We as humans always run the risk of ruining everything for everyone by being stupid.”
Joseph John Lee, Upscaled

“Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings / A Storm of Swords / A Feast for Crows

“Memory is a double-edged sword, Uthas. It can keep you strong through dark times, but it can also cripple you, keep you locked in a moment that no longer exists.”
John Gwynne, Valor

“People”—Geralt turned his head—“like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen

“I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
