Beautiful prose and meditative story about fate, revolution, and what it means to be a hero. This was a leisurely and contemplative read for me. The book is largely character focused and set in a secondary fantasy world that also has modern technolog ...more

Quotes by S.B. Divya  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“When you find a good person, someone who's grown with you, moved around with you, who forgives your bullshit and thinks you're sexy on your off days... When it hurts to live without them, no matter how angry you are, you find it in your heart to forgive *their* bullshit”
S.B. Divya, Machinehood

“Technology was as habit-forming as every escapist, feel-good drug”
S.B. Divya, Machinehood

“Privacy had gone the way of the dodo during Welga’s childhood. Some part of her always remembered the cameras. In Marrakech, the caliph’s network blackout had unsettled her more than the potential for violence â€� the lack of communication, the inability to see what others were doing. It would take a million lifetimes to watch every minute of every public feed, but she had a sense of security knowing she could look out for her people, and they’d do the same. Losing that had felt like walking around with one shoe: doable but not at all comfortable.”
S.B. Divya, Machinehood
