    “Star Trek?” I asked her. “Really?”
    “What?” she demanded, bending unnaturally black eyebrows together.

    She sniffed. “This is the post-nerd-closet world, Harry. It’s okay to like both.”
    “Blasphemy and lies,” I said.”

    “Think of every fairy-tale villainess you've ever heard of. Think of the wicked witches, the evil queens, the mad enchantresses. Think of the alluring sirens, the hungry ogresses, the savage she-beasts. Think of them and remember that somewhere, sometime, they've all been real.

    Mab gave them lessons.”
