Brandon Sanderson
What did it mean to be called “lord”? I’ll assume you’ve never had the honor, since I doubt any of you happen to be British royalty. (And, if by chance you are, then let me say, “Hello, Your Majesty! Welcome to my stupid book. Can I borrow some cash?”)
Brandon Sanderson
A thing of nature. For every Push, there is a Pull. A consequence.
