"That night, Liesel Meminger truly became the book thief."

Gareth Hanrahan has done such a good job of making me initially dislike Eladora before falling completely in love with her!

Oh, I was not ready for that!

"In years to come, he would be a giver of bread, not a stealer - proof again of the contradictory human being. So much good, so much evil. Just add water."

"When she came to write her story, she would wonder exactly when books and the words started not just to mean something, but everything."

So invested in these characters and this world!

"Gods- all gods, I think - are just spells that keep going. Like waterwheels, powered by the passage of souls, maybe. Prayer strengthens them, and so does residuum, the portion of the soul that remains in the corpse after death."

Kaz Brekker, I love you!

"she was the Wraith - the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too."

“There is always a spark that begin it. A aimless brawl what spill over, two words overheard what pinch at a man’s pride, a bloody face what not relent, a soldier-boy or some other body for a people to pitch up as a martyr.
