Gods of Jade and Shadow | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The nature of hate is mysterious. It can gnaw at the heart for an eon, then depart when one expected it to remain as immobile as a mountain. But even mountains erode.

Gods of Jade and Shadow | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The things you name do grow in power, but others that are not ever whispered claw at one‘s heart anyway, rip it to shreds even if a syllable does not escape the lips.

...all the sacred truths are rendered in blood...

Gods of Jade and Shadow | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Mortals have always been frightened of the night‘s velvet embrace and the creatures that walk in it, and yet they find themselves mesmerized by it. Since all gods are born from the kernel of mortal hearts, it is no wonder Xibalba reflected this duality.

A Gatlin Wedding | Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

Every battle you have fought is with you still.
Every enemy you have defeated stands behind you.
You are Bound as you have always been Bound, to those who came before and those who will come after.
To those you loved and those you hated.
You are stronger than you think.

Because the Wheel of Fate has a way of wrecking everything it ever rolls past. And now we‘re all just left to sort out the pieces, to pretend this is how it was always supposed to be.

American Gods Anansi Boys | Neil Gaiman, Barnes & Noble, HarperCollins Publishers Ltd. Staff, Barnes & Noble Staff, HarperCollins (Firm)

People believe, thought Shadow. It‘s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.

My daughter got me into this series, when she knew I was reading this book she told me that Annabeth reminded her of me so much. After reading this book I feel stronger than wonder woman. Getting at last the pov of Annabeth and her fears and wits made me glad. She is everything I expected and more. Loved this book so much.

At last we know what happened to Percy! This crossover from Rick Riordan is incredible. Can't believe I waited so long to try this series.

Momma_Jo Same!!!! Loved the original Percy Jackson series and I even found that one late too!!! Better to enjoy it late then never to have enjoyed it at all. 5y
HCBB True that! I just love the crossover with the Roman gods. Enjoy! 5y
