WOW! I agree!! Best ending ever.
I don't want her to write a sequel, actually, because I think this line is just to powerful to add something after it.

I feel the same way! Although I'd love to live in that world longer, I like that it ends leaving you believing it goes on.

I would like to find out more about Mel's past, wouldn't you?

"Long after Harry had cried herself to sleep, the Hill-king lay awake, facing the grief he had caused and could not comfort." - The Blue Sword
I have to agree with the majority that I have favorite lines from all of McKinley's works.

Yes to all of the above.

"Katriona's theory was that cats were one of the few members of the animal kingdom who had a strong artistic sense, and that aggravated chaos was the chief feline art form, but she had never coaxed a straight enough answer out of a cat to be sure."

"You'd think eyes would be at least as hard to organize as feet." Aerin - The Hero and the Crown, Chapter Three, Last Paragraph, Page 28
There are a great many quotes and quirks in all your tales, Robin and choosing just one favorite seems much like the trouble of choosing just one favorite book. The tales' plots and characters aside, the great thing I love about them is your keen detailing and wordworking. From the wildflowers along the paths to each curving of a woodland stream from bits of saddles and tack to the carvings of elaborate doorways. Every scene and place is painted in the telling; from page to imagination. And I adore the banter between the main characters, who you know are just kidding themselves and that they are actually falling in love.
I believe I will choose something I can relate to, considering how I feel at the moment with my health issues and learning how to walk again properly after surgery - with my horse's help of course. This is the context my choice followed after:
"It's funny," she said, chewing a grass stem, "you'd think if I couldn't walk I couldn't read either. You'd think eyes would be at least as hard to organize as feet." Aerin

One sentence? Well, since all my favorite books are already represented, let me give a shout out to "A Pool in the Desert" from the Water collection...
I love when Hetta finds sand on her sheets (p.220 in the trade paper edition). That's when you know--there's a way OUT.
And from The Blue Sword. "Harry began unhorsing her opponents before lopping off their sashes just to give herself something to do." And the "quick and merry slash" that cuts Corlath's scarf.
When Deerskin says she can't remember all her past, and this is taken as a sign she is the Moonwoman...
Too many to list...excuse me while I go and loiter happily among a certain length of bookshelf...

We've left this thread open in case anyone is inspired to randomly quote their favorite sentences of Robin's books. Please keep following the same guidelines as before (there's a link in the first post of this thread).
While there are no more prizes for this, we do have other contests in the works, so keep an eye out!
