“I didn’t live in a palace. I lived in a dollhouse of my father’s making, a living graveyard. Despite the fact that Ilith’s lair was the size of the dining hall, I felt I was being crushed by the weight of the surrounding stone. If he knew, why let me continue? Was this all some sort of test? And if the sickness hadn’t come from Bayan, where had I gotten it from?” ― Andrea Stewart, The Bone Shard Daughter

“It wasn’t fair that Jovis should have the love and adoration of the Empire’s people, and I had to fight for even a modicum of respect.” ― Andrea Stewart, The Bone Shard Emperor
“And that was the worst thing about this grief – not just knowing that she was gone, but knowing that eventually new memories and experiences would layer on top of them, making the distance between us ever wider. The days we’d spent swimming and fishing at the beach, the first time I’d kissed her, the dreams we’d shared – I was now the only keeper of these memories, and that was the truest sort of loneliness.” ― Andrea Stewart, The Bone Shard Daughter
