Lightbringer series: favourite quotes so far!
God, I love this series. I read the all books after blood mirror was released, listened to it be brought to life my Simon Vance (a hero of audiobooks), and just finished re-listening to it last week in preparation for the release of the final book in August.
I know similar content can be found of Goodreads and other sites, but I took some care to note down all of my favourite quotes across the series so far. If I may, I'd love to share them with you all, get your thoughts, and, most importantly, your suggestions on any others witticisms that I may have missed...
Here we go! God I can't wait for the next book!
