Cast in Deception by Michelle Sagara

5.0

"joy is not a characteristic of my people; it is considered too youthful, and therefore too easily destroyed."

"you have entered into a political arena. what matters is not what YOU believe, here; it is what will be seen and believed by others."

"Kaylin wanted to put a head-shaped dent into the nearest piece of wood."

"it is the truths we hide that have the capacity to destroy us should they see light."

"carriage or no, by the time Kaylin stumbled out of the door she was sore and tired. sitting still, or sitting as still as a moving cabin allowed, took a lot of energy."

"people in power wanted more power, and people in power often felt that the rules that applied to others could safely be circumvented, rules being meant for the powerless."
