She was the one who would some day know a dozen ways to wear a silk scarf, how to read the sky for rain and coax feral animals near, how to purr throaty love songs in Portuguese and Basque, how to lay a vampire to rest, how to light a cigar, how to light a man's imagination on fire. No one else in town looked anything like her, and if she lived to womanhood, she was the one artists would want to draw, not the Sarahs and Jennys. she was certainly blind to her own weird beauty: her heavy, spell-casting eyes, too-wide mouth, wild hair, and hips that could be wild too, if they learned how. He could make Kizzy see "her own weird beauty". He could change everything in a heartbeat. Her first kiss! Kizzy is a frustrated girl who doesn't fit into high school with its beautiful normal people. Again! Beautiful words, gorgeous writing, enchanting, alluring, slightly disturbing, but wonderful story.ĭark and dazzling, it reaches out and yanks us into its world from the very beginning. I wonder why I haven't read this earlier! I am in awe of Laini Taylor.
