Happy Friday!
Book Beginnings is hosted by Gillion at Rose City Reader. She asks that the first sentence is posted along with the author and title of the book and the reader's initial thoughts on the sentence, the book, or anything else it inspires.
Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower.org also provides a linky for sharing first lines and connecting with others. This meme asks that the chosen books be PG or marked as Mature if they are not.
Beginning:
It was beautiful, in the way that orderly things are beautiful. More, it would save lives.They had lost so many lives.
Friday 56:
Majel sighed, and finished his drink.He would need to read the law as written. If there was any ambiguity, it would have to be dealt with before the Haosa Councilor took their chair.
A world divided cannot stand.
A people divided cannot thrive.
The Oracle has Seen the end of Civilization, and the end of the Haosa, too. Reactions to this are—mixed.
On the one hand, foresight is a notoriously erratic Gift. On the other, can Civilization—or the Haosa—afford to assume that the prophecy is an error?
And if the Oracle has Seen truly—is it possible to alter the future?
While well-meaning people struggle to implement change that might, at least, mitigate a disaster, others are looking toward the profit they can make from the end of the world.
In the meantime, the Tree-and-Dragon Trade Team has concluded its whole port inventory, and is about to propose Colemeno as a trade-hub and anchor to a brand-new route. Padi yos’Galan is preparing to step into new roles, personally, and in trade.
And the lives of two small children may be the thread that binds the future—or unravels it.
