The Fair Isle Trilogy Quotes

“Looking isn’t necessarily lost. I’m simply on my way somewhere that I have yet to find.”

“Can I eat him?” he finally says. I’m caught off guard. “Eat him?” “The dead king.” The other kitsune nod, pleading to join the feast. A fire sprite flies overhead. “Can I burn him?” she asks. “That is, if Your Most Gracious Majesty hasn’t consumed all of him with your flame.” A firebird swoops down from the trees. “May I harvest any remaining scales? They will insulate my nests and keep my young warm.”

“I see a fae female with blue skin and a mask of seaweed and coral—an obvious Sea Court fae. A male with dark brown skin, a leafy-green suit, and moss for hair seems a candidate for Earthen. An androgynous fae next to him seems composed entirely of shimmering particles of glitter, making me think Star Court, while the next fae over must be Lunar, with her black dress speckled with glimmering opals and moon-white skin. Or did I get the two swapped? The pixie in a ruffled pink dress with wings the color of a robin’s egg could be Spring. Or perhaps Wind? No, Wind must be the fae with the streaming hair that constantly moves as if in flight. And the two fae with golden skin and bright hair are equally convincing as both Fire and Solar.”

Are you not taught our ways growing up, like we are taught about yours?” We are, but I don’t say so out loud. For the things we are taught about the fae are hardly flattering. He huffs. “I’m an ambassador, not a nursery maid. Regardless, I’ll educate you. All fae once were unseelie, which you so callously deem lesser fae. Back when the isle was ours alone and no human had set foot here, we were different. We were…creatures, you might say. Spirits. Animals. We were so alive back then.” His voice sounds wistful. “Or so I’m told, at least. I’m hardly old enough to have been born that long ago. In any case, we didn’t start to change until your kind came to the isle.”

“I don’t need to glamour you to make you do what I want. If I wanted, I could make you fear me. Crave me. Love me.”
