What a beautiful image

Finally starting the last book in this trilogy and I can't wait. 🎉😍

Some epic bookmail arrived today!

This series is such great fantasy. Intricate, compelling, complex, entertaining...everything I want. Cannot wait for the finale!

LOTS of thought-provoking stuff here, especially in the current political environment. Reading it slowly to absorb as much as I can.

So excited to decompress and dig into this!

I'm not as impressed with this as I'd hoped to be overall, but this quote from Gloria Steinem feels particularly apt this morning: "We have learned that family violence is the paradigm of all violence-- other than used in direct self-defense -- and in family violence, the most dangerous time is the moment just before or just after escape. A woman, or anyone escaping, is most likely to be beaten or killed then because she is escaping control."

...pain is what shapes us, after all. We are creatures born of heat and pressure and grinding, ceaseless movement. To be still is to be...not alive.

"...in the end, we always act in the dark. The effects of your actions may unfold in ways you cannot foresee or even imagine. They may unfold long after your death."

Finally getting to this -- only a few chapters in and love it already! Excellent start to my three-day weekend.
