"Finished the 2nd book around Jan. 2018. Once I got back into it I really liked it. Magic was used a bit differently and there popped in a couple small bits where you could tell it was in the same world as the first book, but still far away. Again, it's obvious to tell this is more early work by the general flatness of the characters but the plot is good old fantasy that I love." May 06, 2018 02:46PM

Neil Gaiman
“What I say is, a town isn’t a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it’s got a bookstore, it knows it’s not foolin’ a soul.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

Pseudonymous Bosch
“Books can also provoke emotions. And emotions sometimes are even more troublesome than ideas. Emotions have led people to do all sorts of things they later regret-like, oh, throwing a book at someone else.”
Pseudonymous Bosch, The Name of This Book Is Secret

“Sometimes it is easier to see the light when you stand partly in the darkness.”
Garth Nix, Mister Monday

Maya Angelou
“Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.”
Maya Angelou

John Steinbeck
“It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”
John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
