“Not wanting to be destroyed by despair doesn’t make you a coward. It makes you a survivor.”
“If you rule by violence, you should expect to be removed by violence.”
“Find your happiness, little thief. Steal it and do not ever let it go.”
I am absolutely devastated now that I'm finished with this series. It is sheer excellence. The writing, the world-building, the politics, the DRAMA. I'm here for all of it. This novel was incredibly long but I genuinely don't know how Chakraborty could have possibly pared it down. It was impossible not to care about every single character even when they were being the worst. I was so impressed with how well each character was written. I swear to god, Ali and Nahri will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life. Honestly, that's it. That's the review. Just read it. Your life will be better because of it.
