This isn't a story about war. It's about ruin.

'Everyone fights an American War.'

Omar El Akkad, American War

[specialedition87-deactivated201]

The misery of war represented the world’s only truly universal language. Its native speakers occupied different ends of the world, and the prayers they recited were not the same and the empty superstitions to which they clung so dearly were not the same–and yet they were. Ware broke them the same way, made them scared and angry and vengeful the same way. In times of peace and good fortune they were nothing alike but stripped of these things they were kin. The universal slogan of war, she’d learned, was simple: If it had been you, you’d have done no different.

Yet I think it’ll change one day. How? I don’t know. When? I definitely don’t know. Why? Because there will always be someone ready to fight. Maybe it’s my turn.

Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right

Great Fictional Heroines (2/ ∞) : Yukiko Kitsune

❝ Dying is easy. Anyone can throw themselves onto the pyre and rest a happy martyr. Enduring the suffering that comes with sacrifice is the real test. ❞

‘So there was no secret handshake or magic moment or sacrifices to the Old Ones, just lots of writing and rejection. That’s par for the course in publishing. Rejection is good for the soul.’  - Jay Kristoff, Angel Reads #LoveOzYA Interview
