"Mariko had countless fond memories of her childhood. And not a single one of them recalled anything but contentment at mealtime." I like that Ahdieh is addressing the privileges of royalty and the oppression of the peasants.

"Mariko finally closed her eyes, no longer caring about anything else but the feel of him. His hands at her back. His kisses across her skin. The stars could fall-the moon could crash from the heavens- and Mariko would not care."

"She glared at his back, seeing the capable figure in a different light. One tinged in sinister tones. The reds of violence, the blacks of death, the greens of vengeance."

"From his perch at the head of the convoy, the Dragon of Kai grinned slowly. Darkly. His sister was not dead. No. She was much too smart for that."

I am so ready for Renee Ahdieh to fuck me up all over again
