“Like it or not, survival was not a noble cause. It was a necessity.”
“She was no more than human, no more than that, and that would have to be enough.”
"Those were small things, but at least they were good things."
Amun was a good character and I liked seeing him open up so we could see different sides to him, especially as he always had such a strong, caring side. He was the broody male character but done really well and really sweetly so I loved that.
“His evil was born from his humanity.”
“to be treated in large and small ways as less than entirely human…
The kind of torture had the strength to shatter anyone.”
