Teaser Tuesday (12)

Teaser Tuesday, a meme hosted by Should Be Reading is really easy and fun to participate in. All you have to do is:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser

Rosto looked down.  "I know you're a cat, but you don't have to be cruel," he said.  "It's easy if you're a god, I suppose.  You don't ever lose people."  







This one surprised me by how very poignantly it began.  I suppose I shouldn't have been that surprised, considering it says right in the very beginning of the summary that her fiance has just passed away, but I think some part of me was still expecting the Beka of the last two books, right off the bat.  The hard, determined Beka that almost nothing could touch.  It's both amazing and disorienting to see her like this; not a mess, because of certain reasons, but not her usual self.  I'm interested to see how she's changed after three years.

I picked this quote because it just sort of stuck with me.  I wish I could include Pounce's reply, which is equally amazing, but it's rather long.
