“Penaela there is delightful. She creates a tiny black sun that warps the flesh of everything it shines on, and makes everyone affected think she’s dead no matter what she does. Very strange, absolutely charming.”

“Alain,” said Scorio tiredly. “He’s attached himself to us. I keep forgetting he’s there. It’s his power.”
“We should tie a huge bell around his neck,” groused Naomi,
“That would make him a really useful scout.”
“Alain’s good for nothing,” said Naomi. “He’s a coward and a pervert.”
“Not fair,” protested Scorio. “He helped me a lot in the Fury Spires.”
“A helpful pervert, then.”
Scorio laughed. “Fine.”

😂💀😂
“You?” Scorio stared. “You know how to flirt?”
“Why yes, Scorio,” she whispered, voice husky and utterly unnerving. “There’s much more to me than meets the eye.”
“Now, Scorio,” rumbled Nox excitedly. “Expand your vocal sacs!”
Naomi laughed and her light touch became a shove. “If he shows me his vocal sac it’ll be the last thing he does.”

😂
“You know who was magnificently indifferent? The White Queen.”
“You’re right,” said Scorio. “It made her so…”
“Regal? Pure? Untouchable? Arousing?”
“Arousing?” deadpanned Scorio.
“Oh, come on, don’t tell me you didn’t notice that, like, powerful mother-thing she had going on, older but caring, tender but maybe with a dirty edge beneath the whole devoted…”
“I mean, maybe I wasn’t looking for it.”

“You have a way with people,” said Scorio, moving out wide as Naomi crossed the caldera. “Always impresses me.”
“Fuck people,” said Naomi, turning around to walk backward the last few paces. “And damn this place. Damn Moira, damn Ravenna, damn them all.”
“At least you’re inclusive.”

Ahahaha I totally forgot about the invisible/forgettable kid, how ironic 😂😂😂
He's invisible unless you are thinking of him or something like that. Poor thing

“Hello?” tried the kid again. “Hey! Right here!”
“We’re just Flame Vaults.”
“No,” she said firmly. “We’re not.”
“Damn it.” The kid sighed and fell behind. “I’ll try you both again later.”

“We just need to lie low, take care of ourselves, and wait to see how this plays out. But you know what I really want to do?”
“Does it involve dragging the Iron Tyrant down into that labyrinth and feeding him to the magma giant?”

Oh no no no no! This book is about to end and I don't know when the next one is gonna be available. I'm already missing it

Awww, Naomi... :(

This book is really impacting my to-do list. One chapter leads to another and all the chores you were supposed to do are constantly pushed back "another five minutes". For hours.
