God i’m taking such a long time. Such a blessed book though holy fuck

“She was not a victim, she had made all her choices herself, and she knew perfectly well how to claw to safety.”

I love the refinement on the fact that Alice knows who she is.

“Oh, stop it.” As always, mathematics induced in Alice the acute urge to weep. “What’s the point?”

she’s so real

“I’m sure it’s very nice below.”

By far one of the best things of this book is how complex the world building is.

“Peter Murdoch and his bird’s-nest hair, scarecrow limbs balanced atop a rickety bicycle, looked like he’d never tried at anything in his life. He was simply born brilliant, all that knowledge poured by gods without spillage into his brain.

Alice couldn’t stand him.”

im in love already
