A Little Hatred (The Age of Madness, #1)

by Joe Abercrombie

‘Guilt is a luxury reserved for those still breathing and with no unbearable pain, cold or hunger demanding all their fickle attention. Long as guilt’s your big problem, girl …’ Rikke saw the faint gleam of Isern’s teeth in the gathering darkness. ‘Things can’t be that bad.’

‘Progress just means bad things happen faster.’ Terry Pratchett

Hate a man that much, you give him power over you.’
