DNF, honestly, and I'm on the fence about reading a review, but wanted to count this book in my 2025 reading list, esp. since it's a hefty little thing. While the worldbuilding is epic, the characterizations are vivid, and the dialogue is sound, the ...more

Quotes by Angela Panayotopulos  (?)

“You have that look -- the look of all runaways. But I will tell you what I tell my children. The caged bird sings sadly and dies quickly. Your heartstrings are not shoelaces -- they were never meant to be knotted. It is important to set things free. You begin with yourself. And maybe a tissue.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“The air of the islands, she believed, was different than the air of other regions of the world. It engulfed her now, carrying with it flavors of sun-drenched soil and foam-flecked sea, aromas of virgin woods and naked rocks, its tang of citrus trees and its fizz of foreign wine-misted lips. It carried in its pockets the sounds of children's laughter, the clatter of drunken brawls, the mandolin music thrumming sensually from decades-old cassette tapes in the colorful souvenir shops where old ladies and young women waved at passersby. It came from near and far, rebounding off the blue-white flag strapped to ferry masts rearing above the sparkling waters, glinting in the brown-eyed winks and twirled mustaches of the locals.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“No one had fought back. His friends had not retaliated and morphed into monsters. They had fallen like flies. Perhaps such evil did not lurk in the others. Perhaps he's been wrong. The thought came to him suddenly, stopping his heart as if he'd been yanked from the dance hall and flung countries and time-zones away only to crash into arctic waters. It marked the end of something, as revelations often do.
He was the monsters.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“Once upon a time, the world was quintessentially human. People took pride in normalcy; they preferred things in black and white, for salt and pepper are easier to digest than gray matter. When things were disagreeable or different, they liked to label them "otherworldly." It relieved them of accountability. "The Devil made me do it," they preferred to say.

But when they looked in the mirror, they didn't notice the Devil looking back.

Not at first.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“Peace, so Miss Sanders could grapple with her demons. Quiet, so she could almost hear the Hellfire crackling beneath the crust of the carpeted schoolroom.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“Actions have reactions, nonetheless. People rarely show up at Hell's doorstep clutching a map of bad intentions.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“She was lucky enough to know little enough to fear nothing more than wasps, the dark, and the darker figments of her imagination.”
Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“It was a fleeting feeling, one there and suddenly gone, like a dove shattered to pieces during a magician's disappearing act.”
