Teaser Time #5

Per questo nuovo appuntamento con Teaser Time ho pensato di condividere con voi uno dei discorsi che più mi hanno commossa durante la lettura di Queen of Shadows!

Occhio che, ahimè, è SPOILEROSO.

“What was it like?” Manon asked quietly. “To love.”
For love was what it had been-what Asterin perhaps alone of all the Ironteeth witches had felt, had learned.
“It was like dying a little every day. It was like being alive, too. It was joy so complete it was it was pain. It destroyed me and unmade me and forged me. I hated it, because I knew I couldn’t escape it, and knew it would forever change me. And that witchling… I loved her, too. I loved her in a way I cannot describe-other than to tell you that it was the most powerful thing I’ve ever felt, greater than rage, than lust, than magic.” A soft smile. “I’m surprised you’re not giving me the ‘Obedience. Discipline. Brutality’ speech.”
Made into monsters.
“Things are changing,” Manon said.
