Tamora Pierce Quote
When I told you don’t touch me to wake me, ever, because I’ve been in a war and I react violently, you respected me. For a plant person, Rosethorn could sound like iron when she made a point with someone stupid. Evvy was in that same war. She fought as hard as any adult—harder, sometimes. Yet you refuse to acknowledge that she may suffer the same effects.
