1 " Something breathing, something bleeding, something blue.It was time to cast her first spell as the Gargoyle. "
― Megan Shepherd , Midnight Beauties (Grim Lovelies, #2)
2 " What did she know about the Black Forest? Only what she’d been able to glean from the maps in the library and from Luc’s fairy tales: Castles hidden in glens. Trees as tall as city buildings. Wolves and stags and bears. Mad princes who drowned in lakes. None of Mada Vittora’s books described an ancient academy deep in the woods, a place where it always snowed, where girls wanted magic badly enough to die for it. "
3 " There’s dark magic there,” Luc warned. “Creatures who like the cold, who like girls who wander into their woods. Whatever you do, don’t let them kiss you. "
4 " We’ve scrambled for our lives,” she said softly. “Now we have to scramble for our world. "
5 " I've been thinking about what Petra said after the trials. She felt like she never belonged anywhere - at the Cottage or anywhere else - but that she'd accepted it. The rest of us were searching for the place we belonged. But I think that's why Petra succeeded when we all failed. Because you never find the place you belong. Duke Karolinge said it himself - the cruxes are only symbols. There's nothing inherently magical about say, leaves or moths. The trick is to accept the hole in yourself. Accept that it will never be filled, not with flowers or herbs or any other thing. Like Petra accepted herself. "
