_Legendary_ by Stephanie Garber

********I have tried to stay away from any spoilers for THIS book (except where marked), but if you have not read Caraval , you may be spoiled.******* Freedom/ Deception "What's the point of all this glorious freedom if we don't enjoy it? Our father wins if we keep living as if we're still trapped beneath his heavy fists." p19 Legendary by Stephanie Garber Saying something was for someone else's own good was almost always another way of justifying something wrong. p41 Legendary by Stephanie Garber It didn't last nearly long enough.
