Void (The Far Reaches, #2)

by Veronica Roth

“What is it the Jovians say? ‘Joy is the thief of time, and time is the thief of joy’?”

Maybe life in the void should have eradicated her faith in humanity. Separation from time tended to do that to people.

We’re just fragile, and we break sometimes. And time keeps moving.

It was strange how an ache that had persisted for years could just . . . subside. Just like that. Matter not disappearing, just . . . transforming.

And so all things passed, eventually. Even pain.
