I thought this section was so beautiful to read: "They rise. They matter. In such a cause, no one dies meanly. What strength the martyr to topple kingdoms and true, the world confirms it with signs and wonders. There – in the eastern night sky, comets like fiery swords."
I really enjoyed reading about how Aile and Tibald met. It was exciting to read about Aile practicing sword fighting. I could imagine it as if I was watching a movie. It made me think about how it seems "fun" (for lack of a better word ) to prepare for war. There is an excitement to it. There is skill and technique. Knowing how war is hell - it makes me think about how it could be so fulfilling and rewarding to prepare for hell.
