A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

dark mysterious slow-paced

4.0

I remember loving this in middle school and although it starts a little slow it was definitely worth the reread! 

“But forgiveness… I'll hold on to that 

fragile slice of hope and keep it close, remembering that in each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice We're each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We've got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there's an awful lot of gray to work with. No one can live in the light all the time.“
