The Bone Shard Daughter (The Drowning Empire, #1)

by Andrea Stewart

Habits were things done with little reason, over and over, until momentum made them more difficult to stop than to

keep going.

“It’s hard to remake one’s view of the world, to admit to complacency. I thought remaking myself for you was hard enough, but doing that was something I wanted. I didn’t want to realize how much I’ve hurt the people around me, and that’s what confronting my beliefs meant. We all tell ourselves stories of who we are, and in my mind, I was always the hero. But I wasn’t. Not in all the ways I should have been. Can you forgive me?”
