"It had a perverse, fairy-tale logic..."
I finished St. Mary's School for Girls Raised by Wolves!
Favorite lines are as follows:
"We are all raccoon-drunk on moonlight and bloodshed and the heady, underblossum smell of the forest." (65)
"Do you think that sheep have human ghosts?" (65)
"Ogli gets to wake up to cheery blackness and cereal, and I'll spend the rest of my life counting dead sheep." (70)
"Raffy must have forgotten that he knows me. We've had homeroom together since middle school, but Raffy travels in a different social solar system." (74)
"I try to keep my voice casual, as if being invited to join a crime ring with a cute girl and the coolest kid in my grade is a routine occurrence for me." (80)
"Suddenly, ice-skating seemed like the most ludicrous of all human endeavors. What a stupid innovation! Skate blades. Indoor lakes. It had a perverse, fairy-tale logic, I thought, tying knives to your feet and carving out over frozen water." (143)
"She pressed both hands to the parabolic sides of the shell. She closed her eyes and smiled--it felt like being parenthesized." (163)
"And Barnaby finds himself in an awkward sort of hostage situation, negotiating with the prisoner for her own release." (166)
"I wonder, briefly, if I could eat Brauser if it came to that. At this point, we have been alone on the glacier for fourteen minutes." (215)
