Time to reread this one.

A. Excited to add Jack Daw to our band of misfits.

B. The way Crow Girl (Soleil - beautiful name, and very for coded) addressed the queen so informally. And the queen seemed almost frightened of her for a second. Maybe she really was a princess.

C. That was incredibly smart on Zib's part. The loophole of how Avery's trade was contingent on the Queen's guarantee of safety and hospitality for a day.

"The Queen had already done her enough harm. She didn't get to be commemorated with scars." -180pg

"Are you coming with us?'
'My mother's going to be furious when she realizes what you're doing. (..) Of course I'm coming with you." -197pg

"She understands that tidiness takes many different forms, even as people do, and 'presentable' for a zephyr isn't the same as 'presentable' for a nixie, but she likes it when people make an effort."

More people should take on this logic when it comes to understanding other people's normal.

"I'm a girl, and I'm weird. The Crow Girl's a girl and she's made of birds, and that's weird. And Niamh's a girl and she drowned and didn't stop moving, and that's weird. All the girls we have around here are weird." -115pg

I love that he's still carrying Crow Girl on his hip, especially now that their on the Queen of Swords castle where she'd feel even more vulnerable then ever. -120pg
