"I can't ever NOT try a beauty and the beast retelling/inspired book. And so far it's really good! I love the Polish and Eastern European-inspired worldbuilding. I wish there was a little more attention to building atmosphere and really grounding the reader in a scene before going onto the next one - but so far so good. The Witcher meets Beauty and the Beast vibes - and it reminds me of Ava Reid's works." — Sep 25, 2023 08:19PM

“It is a pity to gather wood-flowers. They lose half their witchery away from the green and the flicker. The way to enjoy wood-flowers is to track them down to their remote haunts—gloat over them—and then leave them with backward glances, taking with us only the beguiling memory of their grace and fragrance.”

“I put it to the touch once, and I lost it all. Let her go — with her stony heart, and her beauty; — how set and terrible her look is now, for all her loveliness of feature! She is afraid I shall speak what will require some stern repression. Let her go. Beauty and heiress as she may be, she will find it hard to meet with a truer heart than mine. Let her go!”

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”
