Why This Must Be Read:
Simply put, because it's brilliant. Brilliant. Don't let the OC throw you off, it works. It tells the story of Vala, a thief, a pick-pocket, someone who trying to find her place in a world where everyone is oppressed by their Gods and religion, but she ends up finding it in the place she thought less likely. It tells the story of Vala, a warrior, a survivor, the one still fighting when everything seems hopeless. It tells the story of mothers and daughters. God, I can't properly rec this without giving too much away and this story just that amazing that I don't want to give anything away. Just read. It's brilliant and it leaves you tingling, wanting and yet satisfied. Wonderful read. Go. Run, don't walk.

Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell and rose again - unknown
I don't go to funerals. They seem pointless. Watching a body burn on a pyre isn't exactly fun. You know there's nothing there anymore, yet, you cannot help but feel... that's got to sting a little.
