"I'd heard about this book series and NEEDED it. Growing up as a prequels girlie, I always loved Padmé. Seeing her wardrobe at a SW costume exhibit was a highlight. And my childhood sci-fi creative writing included lots of queens and costumes. I Feel Heard that this series and premise exists. It feels irrevocably **Star Wars** but also fresh. Floored that the first paragraph is about the Queen's makeup. <3 Let's go." — Dec 26, 2025 10:33AM

""My rashness and impiety lay in the fact that what I ought to have verified by investigation I had simply asserted as an accusation. . . . Deceived with promises of certainty, with childish error and rashness I had mindlessly repeated many uncertain things as if they were certain. . . . when I contended against your Catholic Church with blind accusations."" — Jan 26, 2025 10:07PM

As a dieheart Voltron fan who has to get my human hands on everything from Beast King Golion to Vehicle Force to the latest episodes of Legendary Defender, I was extremely excited in the opportunity to purchase and read this omnibus. I must say, out

“History is a set of repeating circles, like the tide. The wind does blow through the ruins of tomorrow. But it is more a question of two steps forward, one step back. Humans and dragons make the same mistakes, again and again, but things do get better over time”

“Truth is stranger than fiction," as the old saying goes. When I watch a documentary, I can't help crying and then I think to myself, "Fiction can't compete with this."
But when I mentioned this to a veteran manga artist friend of mine he said that "fiction brings salvation to characters in stories that would otherwise have no salvation at all."

“If the ways of this world are based on equivalent exchange, as alchemy says, then in order to allow for a new generation to enjoy good fortune, then the price that we must pay is to carry the bodies of the dead across a river of blood.”
