“But his face was shining white, and perfect, the countenance of a god it seemed, a Cupid out of Caravaggio, seductive yet ethereal, with auburn hair and dark brown eyes.” Amadeo 👼🏻🪽🤭

“I looked up and saw the figure of an unearthly young boy, an exquisite young boy, pacing the floor of the chamber. Of course it was only Gabrielle.” 👼🏻

“She was colder than I. She was better at all of it, I thought. Magnus had said, ‘Show no mercy.’ But had he meant us to kill when we did not have to kill?”

“Her heart and soul split open. There was no age to her, no single moment. My knowledge dimmed and flickered and there was no mother anymore, no petty need and petty terror; she was simply who she was. She was Gabrielle.”

Easily one of my favourite characters in this book so far. If not my favourite. 🥀

“Like birds they were, with bones full of air, and hearts like beating wings,” 🪽

“All creatures in hell are supposed to hate one another, as all the saved hate the damned, without reservation.”

“I saw the universe, a vision of the sun, the planets, the stars, black night going on forever. And I began to laugh.”
