"There are certain phrases, she realized, that function like spells. They change the energy in the room."

Oof a 9/11 reference is jarring in this fantasy world

“It’s a huge deal for a train line to suddenly not be working.”

(Tell me you don’t live in NYC without telling me you don’t live in NYC. 😆)

“No matter where you are, regardless of the world, you can feel out a market day like good music.”

"not vampires... nothing nearly so glamorous. Just a bunch of rapidly ageing young men with hard lifestyles and a preference for longer days."

"As the water gets cold, the hope does, too." (oof, what a line)

also

"Where there should be technology, there was instead heavy utility."

"Being a landlady has put an armor on her - halfway between mothering and upper management."

"If a person like him had existed in any timeline, she would have heard about it. They would have taught him in schools."

🫠 wowza what a line

References to both Amazon and The Wizard of Oz. Interesting those exist in this world.

“Every element of his appearance both proved and contracted the idea of maturity.”
