Shadow's Edge (Night Angel, #2)

by Brent Weeks

“A threat’s a promise, boy. On the street, you can lie about everything except your threats. An empty threat is surrender.”

Why was Kylar condemned to having revelations about what people meant to him only after they were dead?

Is honesty so easy? Could I have just said, “Durzo, I love you, but I fear you’ll destroy me”? Brant had just offered her his vulnerability, confessed her effect on him, and yet seemed not weaker but stronger for it. How was that? Is truth so powerful?

“Immortality is lonely, Kylar. Madness need not be.”
