"3.5✨
What a plot twist! I thought I predicted the ending but it's all suspicious and full of ambiguity and not forgetting how amazing the narrative is.." |

| For me, the most remarkable thing about this book was how little actually happened within its pages. There was a bit of time travel, obviously, and some fighting, as well as a witch trial and an arrest and subsequent rescue. These were all fine. But ...more | |

“She danced the way she always did, holding her body and arms still while her legs and feet sprang across the floor. When she was sober, her head remained stationary; when she was drunk, it nodded in time to the music. She always closed her eyes. She always wore the same, ecstatic smile. And I, always, watched in wonder.”

“I can’t stop my thoughts. I can’t stop comparing myself to others. I can’t stop looking at myself, both directly and in the mirror;”

“I looked at Emma and realised that she was grinning – actually grinning – directly at me. ‘Love you, Jamie,’ she said. I fought back a sudden prickling of tears, then told her that I loved her too. And for that moment, nothing more was required. It was, in its way, perfect. I felt safe, and strangely optimistic. My worries had disappeared, like rain on summer earth. I took a deep breath, savoured the feeling for a few seconds more. Then, with a final smile, I turned from the room, secure in the knowledge that even the most difficult times contained moments that made a person feel truly alive.”

Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…
I think I shall write books.”

“Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”
