"OK, two things: a) I am loving the way French writes - she's precise, but the descriptions we get of routine and the case itself are still fascinatingly warm and packed with character, and that's making this so enjoyable, and b) just finished the dinner with Cassie, Rob and Sam, and their chemistry is SO GREAT. I LOVE these people. when's the last time I've felt like that about a mystery story?" — May 30, 2013 07:06AM

“But how can she change a person like that? said Victoria.
She just can. I'd never have thought before, ever, that I could hate music and want to leave it behind, but now--
Lawrence Prewitt, said Victoria. Her voice was shaking, but she stood up and put on such a fierce dazzle that even Donovan seemed to wake up. Don't you dare ever start talking like that again, or when I get out of here, I'll leave you behind with the gofers. Lawrence smiled. I've missed your threats, Vicky.”

“Do you think people have noticed that I'm around?”
“I notice when you're not. Does that count?”

“I want to have the heart and mind of a queen,” she whispered. “I want it more than anything. But I’m only pretending. I can’t find the feeling of it inside me.”
Fire considered her quietly. You want me to look for it inside you.
“I just want to know,” Bitterblue said. “If it’s there, it would be a great comfort for me to know.”
Fire said, I can tell you already that it’s there.
“Really?” Bitterblue whispered.
Queen Bitterblue, Fire said, shall I share with you the feeling of your own strength?”

“You guys know about vampires? … You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There’s this idea that monsters don’t have reflections in a mirror. And what I’ve always thought isn’t that monsters don’t have reflections in a mirror. It’s that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves. And growing up, I felt like a monster in some ways. I didn’t see myself reflected at all. I was like, “Yo, is something wrong with me? That the whole society seems to think that people like me don’t exist?" And part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it.”

“I think I'm a bit in love with these girls. They make me feel giddy. Like I haven't a care in the world. Like I'm fearless.
Like I used to be.”

Like I used to be.”
