Holly Black Quote
You said that you thought Queen Orlagh was waiting for an advantage to declare war. Instead, I think she is trying a new ruler—one she hopes she can trick or replace with another indebted to her. She thinks me young and feckless and means to take my measure.So what? I ask. Our choice is to endure her games, no matter how deadly, or engage in a war we cannot win?Cardan shakes his head and drinks another cup of tea. We show her that I am no feckless High King.And how do we do that? I ask.With great difficulty, he says. Since I fear she is right.
