Remember really liking this series. Picked up the lot from a humble bundle and thought I'd give it a reread.
Was recommended to me at a small bookstore on the coast, so I picked it up.

I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. There a story.

I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.
