“but right now he needs our help”

Ah, the old pronoun game.

“She knew!
Love.
That was what she had that IT did not have”

Oh, there we go. Makes more sense for a kids book.

“No, it was not anger, it was loathing; it was hatred, sheer and unadulterated, and as she became lost in hatred she also began to be lost in IT”

Interesting.

“Bbutt yyou mmusstt ffinndd itt fforr yyourrssellff”

Oh good, vague wisdom.

“But what we can give you now is nothing you can touch with your hands. I give you my love, Meg. Never forget that. My love always”

Haha, what. You didn’t give her that part time? Or why didn’t you give it to her last time?

“You are going to allow Meg the privilege of accepting this danger”

Sure?

“Thank you,” she whispered. “I love you.”
“And I you, little one.” Aunt Beast pressed gentle tendrils against Meg’s face”

? No sense.

Metaphor of a sonnet. Sure.

“Meg’s skin prickle into gooseflesh.
She burst into tears. She started beating at Aunt Beast like a small child having a tantrum”

What is going on?

“Meg’s voice rose shrilly”
