"The stars explode in silence.
Sasha tasted time on her tongue, like a spoonful of honey with a pinch of pepper."

"Sasha vacillated between the two evils: continue this conversation or go back to the auditorium, where a symbolic structure on the whiteboard wanted to dismember her alive."

"You are very dangerous. You are a weapon... a weapon of formidable power. You are an assassin of reality, Sasha, you are a destroyer of grammar, and I will do everything possible to prevent you from ever reverberating again. Other than that... other than that, you are a wonderful girl"

I enjoyed this, but in many ways it felt like more of the same from Vita Nostra, and lacked the intense development I had hoped to see from the gripping and disorienting nature of the first book.
