"Even monsters are not stupid." "... And obliterating forever whatever beauty and monster owns." I find this so poignant and so true.

"Monsters, you know, cannot appreciate the niceties of commandments carved in stone."

"...the spirit touched my face, and left there many tales and spells, like the tattoos of sailors... But they are the words of the river and the marsh, the lake and the wind. Together they make a great magic..."

In love with this novel so far. The weaving together of all the different characters is beautiful. Only complaint is that it's taken over 100 pages for the two main characters to meet.

The only reason this book was written was to put to rest all the fans complaining about why they didn't use the Time Turners to save everyone.

If Scorpius isn't the most adorable human being ever then I don't know who is.

I will never view the Trolley Witch the same way...

"When would it be time to find my destiny?" Oh you poor darling... As soon as these authors decide not to stick with YA cliches... Oh and Jamie? That's really the only Scottish name you could come up with? Someone's been reading Outlander...

She reads Pride and Prejudice! How original! (Please someone make it stop!) she dances, she eats lots of calories and looks thin, she reads, she's gorgeous, and possibly slightly insane! Pretty sure she checks off every box for cliche YA heroine (also no hate for P&P. Personally I adore that book.)

Just want to clarify guys... Rebound relationships/ sex is never a good thing. Like ever. Thanks Kenna for this wonderful advice. Also wish they'd stop calling boys "yummy."

Another "woe is me heroine" yay! And her mother? (Sorry Janet) did she have to have a drunk mother and a porch covered in moths and bare cupboards to make us feel sorry for her?

I tried to put my phone aside so that I could actually try and read but... "Deliciously detailed" Oh good lord what sort of teenager is this girl?

I smell insta love from about a mile away... Gosh I feel awful being this snarky but it's true.

Why do we always have to describe the YA love interest as "gorgeous?" Why must he be handsome as if "just stepping out of the pages of a magazine?" Why can't he just be a normal guy with decent looks and maybe some of that typical highschool acne? When did we stop portraying reality in YA stories? Oh and he's blond! Yay...

"Frosted pink lips" Please no... Why do these three words annoy me so much?

"Barbie-doll-on-helium giggle" Ladies and gentlemen we have another stereotypical description of the "evil witch" type of YA dramas. *sigh*

'Well a ghost is one thing. This is DNA,' he said. 'And anything is possible, with DNA.' Um... Okay... I don't think this is the most logical explanation but whatever.

Love triangle with brothers...? Please no.

Having a hard time getting into this novel. Not sure if it's the switching back and forth or what.
