"Perhaps, Peri thought, she had figured out that if one could not inspire mercy in that brief amount of time, one would never do so. Compassion never came as an afterthought: it was either spontaneous or absent entirely."

I'm not too far in, but am enjoying this book. Lots of thoughtful observations and a gripping 'what'll happen next and what happened before?' story.
