The Daughters' War (Blacktongue, #0)

by Christopher Buehlman

Your dog will not like him, and dogs are to be listened to in these matters.

It is tiring to deal with someone who has made an enemy of you when you do not think of them at all. But, of course, this is often why they hate you.

A thousand flatterers are not worth one person who is willing to wipe your ass.

I do not need to be loved as deeply as I love, and I do not need to speak of it.
