A young woman named Liddy, sweet and hazel-eyed, was the maid of Fire’s bedrooms. She came upon Fire one spring day curled on the bed, fighting off a whirling panic. Liddy liked her mild young lady, and was sorry at her distress. She sat beside Fire and stroked her hair, at Fire’s forehead and behind her ears, against her neck, and down to the small of her back. The touch was kindly meant, and the deepest and tenderest comfort in the world. Fire found herself resting her head in Liddy’s lap while Liddy continued stroking. It was a gift, offered unjealously, and Fire accepted it.

That day, from that moment, something quiet grew between them. An alliance. They brushed each other’s hair sometimes, helped each other dress and undress. They stole time together, whispering, like little girls who’ve discovered a soul mate.

Some things could not happen in Cansrel’s proximity without Cansrel knowing; monsters knew things. Cansrel began to complain about Liddy. He did not like her, he did not like the time they spent together. Finally he lost patience and arranged a marriage for Liddy, sending her away to an estate beyond the town.

Fire was breathless, astounded, and heartbroken. Certainly she was glad that he’d merely sent Liddy away, not killed her or taken her into his own bed to teach her a lesson. But still, it was a bitter and selfish cruelty. It did not make her merciful.

The set includes images of arrows, black women in bed together, a tiger, forests, a woman with her hair covered looking straight ahead, and another one with her eyes closed half illuminated by sunlight).]

When a monster stopped behaving like a monster, did it stop being a monster?

— The Dells, Fire by Kristin Cashore

But also in the Dells lived colorful, astonishing creatures that the Dellian people called monsters. It was their unusual coloration that identified them as monsters, because in every other physical particular they were like normal Dellian animals. The had the shape of Dellian horses, Dellian turtles, mountain lions, raptors, dragonflies, bears; but they were ranges of fuchsia, turquoise, bronze, iridescent green. A dappled grey horse in the dells was a horse. A sunset orange horse was a monster.

when you’re a monster, she thought, you are thanked and praised for not behaving like a monster.

She understood now that while it had been wrong to kill Cansrel, it had also been right. The boy with the strange eyes had helped her to see the rightness of it. The boy who'd killed Archer. Some people had too much power and too much cruelty to live. Some people were too terrible, no matter if you loved them; no matter that you had to make yourself terrible too, in order to stop them. Some things just had to be done.

[Caption: three different gifs showcasing Fire, from the Seven Kingdoms Trilogy. The first is dressed as a nurse (taken from Palmeras en la Nieve); the second a close up to Starfire from the Titans pilot; and the third of Rosaline lying down in bed from Still Star Crossed. They include a quote from the Discworld books: “The phrase 'Someone ought to do something' was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider ‘and that someone is me’.”]

READ IN 2019 ↬ Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

“I want to have the heart and mind of a queen,” she whispered. “I want it more than anything. But I’m only pretending. I can’t find the feeling of it inside me.” Fire considered her quietly. You want me to look for it inside you. “I just want to know,” Bitterblue said. “If it’s there, it would be a great comfort for me to know.” Fire said, I can tell you already that it’s there.

Brigan did terrible things. [...] But he chose to, so that he might stop other people from using power in even worse ways. His power was his burden. He accepted it. And he was nothing like his father. Neither were Garan and Clara; neither, really, was Nash. Not all sons were like their fathers. A son chose the man he would be. Not all daughters were like their fathers. A daughter monster chose the monster she would be.

FAVORITE BOOKS ✿ Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

“Truths are dangerous,” he said. “Then why are you writing them in a book?” “To catch them between the pages," said Teddy, "and trap them before they disappear.” “If they're dangerous, why not let them disappear?” “Because when truths disappear, they leave behind blank spaces, and that is also dangerous.”

FAVORITE BOOKS ✿ Graceling by Kristin Cashore

“You’ve saved many lives with your Grace.” She shook her head. “Not as many as I’ve hurt.” “Possibly. But you have the rest of your life to tip the balance. You’ll live long.” The rest of her life to tip the balance. Katsa peeled the flesh of another fish away from its bones. She broke the flaky meat apart and ate it, and thought about that, smiling.

“Lady Katsa, is it?" "Yes, Lord Prince." "I've heard you have one eye green as the Middluns grasses, and the other eye blue as the sky." "Yes, Lord Prince." "I've heard you can kill a man with the nail of your smallest finger." She smiled. "Yes, Lord Prince." "Does it make it easier?" "I don't understand you." "To have beautiful eyes. Does it lighten the burden of your Grace, to know you have beautiful eyes?”

YA lit meme: [1/2] antagonists – King Leck

In the end, Leck should have stuck to his lies. For it was the truth he almost told that killed him.

[Caption: four gifs reimagining King Leck from the Seven Kingdoms Trilogy.

FAVORITE BOOKS ✿ Fire by Kristin Cashore

Fire sat unbreathing. A life that was an apology for the life of his father: It was a notion she could understand, beyond words and thought. She understood it the way she understood music.
