“Amoret has known Jeremy since the Civil War, when after her fathers death in the battle of Worcester he took her to France to the family of her mother, who had died some years before.”
“First, her identity as a knight is determined by her relation to Amoret, which has been secured by her martial victory over her rival and affirmed by the court's seneschal.”
“For Sanchez, Amoret allegorizes the courtier who, rather than risk his own security and violate his self-interest, enables and collaborates with tyranny.”
“The novel beautifully explores the intricate complexities of human relationships, delving deep into the amative nature of individuals and exposing the raw essence of amativeness.”
“Combe felt her bumps and pronounced that she had an unusually large cerebellum, the seat of Amativeness.”
