“What happens to you is not the story. The plot is not the story, the conflict is not the story, the world is not the story. The story is you. You, the character; you, the reader; and the liminal watercolor of magic that happens between those two. Love a story, hate a story, tire of a story, all the possible magic a story has is contained between those two immovable, unknowable forces. Everything else—well, it matters. But this is another story.”
― A.J. Hackwith, The God of Lost Words

“Deep in her den, Mortania whirls.”
― Heather Walter, Misrule

“Standing in the light now just meant you cast long, deep shadows.”

“Rey knew who he was in his bones. He’d lose himself often, but he had memories, lodestones to guide him home.”
― Zoraida Córdova, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
