This one had a very strange ending... running off for book 4 so I can see what happens next! (

This is the most emotional impactful of the chronicles that i have read so far. In particular the description of the devastation at the fall of Troy. In typical fashion, the author swerves and offers up a comedic episode to relieve some of the tension. The end is a little confusing, I need to move on to the next book.

this one has left me wrung out, in the way that a good book can. i might need some time to process all of this before i move on to the next one. (

Quotations

When you've really screwed something up, the secret is to jump in with both feet and make it worse. It's called The Maxwell Way.

Asked once what was the ideal quality in a husband, I'd replied: 'Absence.' No one ever asked again.

"As Joan of Arc probably said: 'Build a girl a fire and she's warm for a few minutes. Set a girl on fire and she's warm for the rest of her life.'"

'Joan of Arc should have known better than to misquote Terry Pratchett.'

'You've had control over everything that happened in your life. But now, your life is about to happen to you.'
