    “Now, it’s certainly not true for *every* woman, but the ones I have had the good fortune to know in my life have all followed this rule.
    If you need a favor, you bring her flowers.
    If you need her forgiveness, you bring her jewelry.
    And if you need both, you bring her a book.”

    “Kaladin frowned. “Wait. Are you wearing cologne? In prison?”
    “Well, there was no need to be barbaric, just because I was incarcerated.”
    “Storms, you’re spoiled,” Kaladin said, smiling.
    “I’m refined, you insolent farmer,” Adolin said. Then he grinned. “Besides, I’ll have you know that I had to use cold water for my baths while here.”
    “Poor boy.”

    “The monsters were never
    under my bed.

    were inside my head.


    I fear no monsters,
    for no monsters I see.
    Because all this time
    the monster has been me.”

    “You know why you don’t understand me?” Parisa answered Reina’s thoughts, stepping closer to lower her voice. “Because you think you’ve figured me out. You think you’ve met me before, other versions of women like me, but you have no idea what I am. You think my looks are what make me? My ambitions? You can’t begin to know the sum of my parts, and you can stare all you like, but you won’t see a damn thing until I show you.”
