I keep thinking about that moment in Labyrinth when Sarah tells the Goblin King "you have no power over me" and everything crumbles - the castle, the world, her chains, the seeming inevitability of his victory. All of it. It was all imagined power that could be broken at any time. Similar situation

The Loudness also resonated with two of my most passionate beliefs: 1) Music can save lives (see “thread of hope” above) and 2) Libraries are the best sanctuaries (In fact, this book features not one, but two libraries fulfilling that role).
It’s definitely a fave.

I read @nickcourage.bsky.social ‘s first novel, The Loudness, TEN years ago today! I *love* this book & was impressed by how credible Nick’s dystopian society felt YET even when there were terrible things happening (or that had happened) there was always a powerful thread of hope to hold onto.
