Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Just reminding myself of my complete and utter insignificance.”
“Do you know how annoying it is to ask a question and get one in return?”
Who would I become if I wasn’t at the mercy of men?
“I didn’t ask to be married to a stranger and shipped across the continent. I didn’t ask to come to Turah. I didn’t ask to be jailed in a wilderness treehouse. Those were decisions made for me by the whims of men. So you can threaten to take away my freedom all you want, but I will fight you. Every step of the way. Until my last breath. And I will not go quietly into a cage.”
“Please.” I huffed. “I would never cause trouble.” “That you actually believe yourself is the most terrifying part of that statement.” I threw up a hand. “Hey, trouble finds me. I don’t go looking for it.”
Of course it was him. It had always been him.
I was always going to fail him. But this failure was my choice.
“When I am nothing but dust and ash, Turah will endure. I do not need a crown. And I have made peace with my destiny. But before I step into my grave, my choice is you.”
