“Books, too, had hearts, though they were not the same as people's, and a book's heart could be broken: she had seen it happen before. Grimoires that refused to open, their voices gone silent, or whose ink faded and bled across the pages like tears.”

We looked around at these miscreants, these motley crews, and knew in our hearts there was nowhere we’d rather be than by their side.”
