Book Review: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

Image
Skyward was a wild ride, a coming of age story for a stubborn, determined and special girl, and an imaginative science fiction endeavour. I do really love a happy ending. I also love Sanderson's ability to write great, engaging characters, and the fact that so many of his books feature amazing female protagonists.

Hellfire

  Beata Maria You know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud Beata Maria You know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd Then tell me, Maria Why I see her dancing there Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul I feel her, I see her The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control Like fire Hellfire This fire in my skin This burning Desire Is turning me to sin It's not my fault I'm not to blame It is the gypsy girl The witch who sent this flame It's not my fault If in God's plan He made the devil so much Stronger than a man Protect me, Maria Don't let this siren cast her spell Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone Destroy Esmeralda And let her taste the fires of hell Or else let her be mine and mine alone Hellfire Dark fire Now gypsy, it's your turn Choose me or Your pyre Be mine or you will burn But she will be mine Or she will burn! - Hellfire, The Hunchback of Notre Dame OST

നമ്മൾ അനുഭവിച്ചറിഞ്ഞ ഒരു സംഭവം അങ്ങനെ അല്ല സംഭവിച്ചതെന്ന് ആവർത്തിച്ച് കേൾക്കുമ്പോഴും, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ, അങ്ങനെയൊന്നും ഒരിക്കലും സംഭവിച്ചില്ലാ എന്ന് കേൾക്കുമ്പോഴും, തീവ്രമായ മാനസിക വിഷമം നമുക്ക് ഉണ്ടാകാൻ സാധ്യത ഉണ്ട്.
