This was one of our favorite reads! The beautiful prose and unique concept had everyone captivated. We spent nearly two hours discussing the themes of memory, legacy, and what it means to make a mark on the world.
Memorable Quote: “The old gods may be great, but they are neither kind nor merciful. They are fickle, unsteady as moonlight on water, or shadows in a storm.”
