The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-0.5)

by Sarah J. Maas

Perhaps the Master had also realized that she was spoiled and selfish. Maybe everyone had just been tolerating her, and … maybe they’d heard of her fight with Ansel and decided to send her packing. It wouldn’t surprise her.

“If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it—to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger. But Ansel let her pain become hate, and let it consume her until she became something else entirely—a person I don’t think she ever wished to be.”
