“You do know that Azar-at can read your thoughts? You don’t need to announce every spell you cast—though I suppose it’s like you to do everything as dramatically as possible.”
"Choosing to lock yourself up in a life that doesn't suit you is its own sort of death."
“You're like the wind - you're meant to be out there, among the mountains and the stars, fighting storms and monsters and anything else foolish enough to get in your way.”
I realized that I missed River. Not the person he had turned out to be, but the person I had thought he was.... The River who had been my friend.... I had always felt like an outsider in Azmiri. Traveling with River had been the first time I'd felt like I belonged somewhere. I wondered if I would ever feel that way again.
"It would be easier for you if I did run again," I said. "Wouldn't you rather collect the star from my broken body, were I to fall?"
"You wouldn't fall," River said. "I wouldn't let you."

"One day, your story will be written in the stars," he said. "It's up to you to choose what they'll say."
