Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them ‘til they’ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, ‘til the hour. You won’t speak and you won’t tell, you won’t call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn’t speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would sell his soul and lose his son to the sky. My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother’s words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free. But freedom will require escape, and I’m a prisoner of my mother’s curse and my father’s greed. I can’t speak or make a sound, and I can’t wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?

"O que poderia uma cotovia ensinar a uma águia?"

"Uma águia não sabe cantar"

Eu achei esse livro uma graça. Achei a ideia super original, da criação do mundo e dos poderes da Lark.
Gostei de como a autora brincou o tempo todo com as palavras e com o sentido nelas, gostei dos trocadilhos e das frases de efeito.

Eu estava certa em desconfiar das pessoas que desconfiei e adorei o casal Lark e Tiras.

Ela que era o pássaro foi usada como uma espada
Ele que empunhava a espada também era um pássaro
