Morning Star (Red Rising, #3)

by Pierce Brown

Pity is not forgiveness, nor is gratitude absolution.

Damn the world, so long as I have my mangy little guardian angel.

“Enough to give us a good death.”

Like any good monster of myth, the girl must eat her mother before being free to pursue her true destiny.

anything that believes only in itself cannot go happily into the night.

But my uncle told me that it’s women who see us better than we see ourselves.
