One of the best parts of reading a book is when you talk to a friend who has already read it and go “character is really going through it” and your friend just laughs….
Oh this poor man

Oh this poor man
(From Temeraire: Empire of Ivory)
“Jane, will you marry me?” Laurence asked.
“Why no, dear fellow.” Jane replied.
Life goals 101
now you can sympathize with Tharkay
Laurence: I've been asked to deliver a toast, a message of hope. This is what I have so far.
Laurence: "Pain..."
Laurence: That's it.
Tharkay: One tweak... maybe you should lose the word "pain" and then get Temeraire and go home.
Laurence: Could someone stamp my Frequent Kidnapping Card?
Napoleon: You of all people know we discontinued that promotion.
Paige 13 and paige 22?
13:
A Flame in the Forest:
Her pale skin washed out by her white dress, eyes puffy and red, she barely seemed to even see Mariya. Stephan was the third of her grandchildren to be killed in the war.
In Want of a Wife:
Meetings with his father had never been a pleasant experience and were about as painful as a needle to the eye. Lounging in his chair, his father sitting ramrod straight on the opposite side of the desk, Laurence appeared every bit the indolent youth. At least he hoped he did. Being in his father’s library, not least across from the man himself, had always left Laurence feeling lesser. Like a small child wearing an adult’s clothing and playing at being a man.

A Flame in the Forest:
The cool wind caressed Mariya’s skin like a reverent lover. Though she had been born and raised in the Ice Fields, the cold had never been her enemy. More like a strange friend that no one else liked.
In Want of a Wife:
Nellie scoffed jovially. “We’re two heiresses, we’ll always be the centre of attention on the marriage mart.”
Cecily couldn’t help but resent the statement even if she knew it to be true.
No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!
Will Laurence, probably
also while drawing that, i remembered a quote from book 4, from Roland to Laurence:
DOES THIS MEAN laurence was actually gallivanting across eurasia in that chinese coat the entire time????
