"Tell me, have you finally seen reason?"
"Reason?" said Aru, grinning. "Nope. Never met her."
[03.27.22] upon re-reading aru shah 4, nothing has changed, and my claim from last year still holds true: i am just as ready and willing to die for aru and aiden and brynne and mini as i was last year. my offer still stands.
[06.11.21] i amslightlyfreaking out over seeing brynne, rudy, mini, aiden, and aru on that cover, because all five of my faves are literally ON THE FRONT COVER OH MY GODS
[04.14.21] mrs. chokshi. i may be a tad dramatic right now, but i mean it when i say that i would literally die for aru, aiden, mini, brynne, rudy, nikita, sheela, and kara. I MEAN IT.

“Here it was. The nectar that had united gods and demons, split oceans, summoned wonders, and destroyed lives. Such was the cost of attaining a sip of the eternal.”
“But heroism was nothing like what she had understood from all her books. There was no shining armor to protect her from emotions she didn’t want to feel. There was no magical horse leading her into battle between clearly divided good and evil. Even the monsters weren’t so monstrous.”
“Hope hurt. Aru felt each one of her hopes as if it were a fresh bruise.”
“It’s my story. I’ll tell it however I want.”
“Maybe what most people wanted wasn’t immortality and fame, but the reassurance that their existence had meant something. No matter how long… or how brief. Maybe being eternal meant becoming a story worth telling.”
