“We save our truths,” she added softly. “As if they are valuable only when hidden. We hide our affection; we hide simple things. Love. The loyalty that comes not from duty but from other complicated desires.”

Finished this novel this afternoon and it was amazing! Michelle West really is awesome! =)
It also features the best flashback sequence since Robert Jordan sent Rand al'Thor into Rhuidean.
