This isn’t my first time reading the Throne of Glass series, and it won’t be my last. But this time, I needed a reminder: heroes aren’t flawless—and they shouldn’t be. They are broken, angry, selfish, carrying secrets that could crush them. They stumble. They rage. They almost give up.

And yet, they keep going. Just like me.

I return to these books because they remind me I don’t need to be perfect to matter. I don’t need to hide my scars or silence my anger to have honor. I am perfectly imperfect—and that is not just enough. It is exactly who I am meant to be.
