Even though it’s been a few months since I’ve read From Blood and Ash and had this quote ready to use, I’ve just finished the sequel, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, and I AM OBSESSED. This series is so full of complex worldbuilding, intriguing characters, amazing character development, badass heroines and heroes and one of the most angsty yet deliciously swoonworthy romances. And it’s one of those stories that stays on your mind, even when you’re not reading. Which I love.
And this quote just strikes so very true. As a naturally fearful person, I always try to think of myself as brave when I do something that scares me, even if it’s something other people think of as totally normal and easy. Rocked that phonecall – so brave. Asked a store employee where to find something – I’m a brave badass. It helps 🙂
I really need to start this series already. I have the first one on my Kindle waiting for me.
Hope you’ll enjoy when you get to it! I thought the first book had a bit of a slow start, but the last half definitely had me on the edge of my seat 🙂
Great quote! Sometimes fear can make us brave, we just have to take control, like you said!
Exactly, it’s all about how we handle the fear.
