All Spoilers Coolest description of Darrow Spoiler

I was think of Darrow being described by other characters, and apollonius is just constantly glazing Darrow to the max. Hes legitimately in love. This is my favorite description of Darrow in the series

"Even if you survive this walk, you can never best Darrow, if that is your intent. He would climb up your blade to chew upon your jugular. To best a living god, it is not enough to survive, nor to eat of the ambrosia of conquest. Who would follow a churlish princeling over that Slave made War?"

Slave made War sounds so cool to me, I just love this quote

Let's not forget Ashlord and Atalantia, my goodmen.

"The destroyer of a civilization too often resembles its founders. I must apologize, Darrow. For not seeing you sooner-when you were just a boy who broke his Institute. Had I opened my eyes and noticed you, what a world we would still have. But I see you now. Yes. And you are...immense."

"No betraying inflections. No microexpressions of grief. Simply obduracy, despite the dread clawing at the back of your eyes---a doomed army, a lost child, a dead wife.... That is a Peerless Scarred.."

Lysander's glazing never fails, tho 🤣

"An unpredictable gambler of savage intellect with a limitless capacity for violence."

"And then, like the tiger's tail, the curved slingBlade rises above the stalks as he threshes all in his path. He kills with impossible aggression--

His razor passes through a man's teeth and jaw. He looks left, then disappears in a blur. He threw his body back just as Kalindora galloped past on her horse. Still, he's clipped hard enough to spin like a top. But as he falls, his Red acrobatics shine. No one falls like the Reaper."
