“What happened to your face?”
I cleared my throat. “Cut it shaving.”
“Shaving?” She raised an eyebrow.
“What with? A bear?” 😂😂😂

"These Skallgrim were cracked in the head – I was all for fighting dirty, but trying to bite a man’s cock off was just plain wrong."

Another grimdark fun ride!

“You die hard, Slowhand,” he grated, which, as Clay understood it, passed for a glowing compliment among stone-cold killers.

“But I break easy,” Clay said...

"Life was funny, and fickle, and often cruel. Sometimes the unworthy went on living, while those who deserved better were lost."

“Judge them for what they wished to be,” he begged the Father of Gods, “not what the world made of them.”

"The once-lauded hero, who had shared wine with kings (and beds with queens), was curled up around his pack on a pile of piss-soaked hay."

"You’d have guessed from the size of his shadow that Clay Cooper was a bigger man than he was."

Will it live up to the hype?

“My old lady’ll shit bricks and kittens,” said Harlen, holding up the remains of his blanket and peering through one of the rents in it. He looked at Kevin through the hole. “You can say the tent blew over into a barbed-wire fence, but what can I say about my best blanket? That I was having a wild wet dream and humped it to death?” 😂

“Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."

"A human being on this world, Duane realized with a shock of recognition approaching vertigo, made no more permanent impression than does a hand thrust in water."

"Few events in a human being’s life—at least a male human being’s life—are as free, as exuberant, as infinitely expansive and filled with potential as the first day of summer when one is an eleven-year-old boy."

"Every time Warne bowls he expects to take wickets. Every time he bats he expects to make runs. Every time he sees a woman he expects to get laid." 😂

"Sometimes it is almost liberating when you finally lose."

"...one panoramically offensive ethnic jest says that a Marwari can buy from a Jew and sell to a Scot and still make a margin." 😂

"No matter what I did last night, I cannot leave these animals. I am their shepherd, their protector. And it's more than a duty. It's a covenant with my father."

"Age is a terrible thief."

“There’s a devil in you, Tomas Piety,” Enaid said. “There always has been, and there’s no blaming the war for it. I remember how you were, even as a lad. You were twelve years old when you came to my house in the dead of night with your little brother at your side and you said, ‘Da’s dead,’ and there was no sorrow on your face.”

"At first you think you want to pour out your feelings into the bottle, but you come to realize that you don’t. You just want to drown them, to burn them away with alcohol until it stops hurting." Ah!

"One thing I have noticed in life is that the men who speak the most of honor are usually those who have the least of it."

"Simple Sam grinned and confessed that he had pissed in Jochan’s brandy bottle one night when Jochan had passed out, then Jochan had woken up and drank it and not noticed the difference." 😂

"Our Lady doesn’t help. Not ever. She doesn’t answer prayers or grant boons or give a man anything at all, however hard he might pray for it. The best you can hope for from her is that she doesn’t take your life today. Maybe tomorrow, aye, but not today. That’s as good as it gets, and the rest is up to you."

I think I am going to love this!

You don't know what I do for mankind, the Lord Ruler had said.

"The time for killing hasn't ended at all, he thought. It has just begun."

"He looked into those eyes, searching for the king behind them. As always, he wasn't completely impressed with what he saw."

"The nature of the world is that when we create something, we often destroy something else in the process."

"Well, it is somewhat comforting to know that we're all cowards."

"Dying someday was better, in Zane's opinion, than dying today."
