“You're not standing on your head! Have a cookie. - Grimspite in Jinx on the Divide”
Elizabeth Kay, Jinx on the Divide

“perhaps,thought Felix,that's what magic is--physics with a different twist to it.
my world just hasn't discovered the twist.”
Elizabeth Kay, Back to the Divide

“Are you frightened of me?' asked Ironclaw. 'No. Why should I be?' 'I'm very fierce,' said the brazzle, with some pride. 'All brazzles are fierce. They have to be, they guard hoards of gold. And they peck people's eyes out. Only when necessary, you understand.' 'Have you ever pecked someone's eyes out?' Ironclaw looked sheepish. 'No. But I could if I wanted to.' Felix smiled.”
Elizabeth Kay, The Divide
