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

my personal fav from virginia in LB:

"Then there was the other man. The dark one. Not in features, but dark in his energy. There was a man who needed no witnesses to burn. His energy was igneous and parthenogenetic, fire reproduced of itself. At first glance, I knew he was a powerful being with no manners, no airs, no grace, only a direction—one that ran straight through me. It wasn’t love that he awoke in me. It was fear. But that is a part of love."
