“What fun is it playing by other people’s rules?”
– Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Inheritance Games
I absolutely love this quote by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I feel like it perfectly encapsulates the entire novel, if not the whole series. It helps show us that it is okay to be rebel sometimes, and that it can help bring us joy. The quote acknowledges the fact that following the rules usually just isn’t fun, and isn’t necessarily healthy either. I feel like this quote can teach us to break the rules sometimes and that we shouldn’t be afraid to carve our own path instead of doing what everyone else wants and expects us to do.
