What Moves the Dead (Sworn Soldier, #1)

by T. Kingfisher

“For,” he said, “the Good Lord may look out for fools, but it won’t hurt to have another set of eyes helping.”

It was fun. People get hung up on happiness and joy, but fun will take you at least as far and it’s generally cheaper to obtain.

His voice had that light veneer of humor that we all get, because if we don’t pretend we’re laughing, we might have to admit just how broken we are.

But death is when you are allowed to ask foolish questions and to say all the unforgivable things that will be immediately forgiven.

Headache is always preferable to heartache, and if you’re focusing on not throwing up, you aren’t thinking about how the friends of your youth are dying around you.
