Quote 1
"Speaking of waiting for the right time," he said, "I was out the other day and saw this." He produced a small red velvet jewelry box and held it open for Luce to see.
Penn nudged around Luce's shoulder so she could get a look.
Inside, a think gold chain held a small circular pendant with a carved line down its middle and a small serpent head at the tip. (10.10-12)
More serpent imagery from Cam—surprise, surprise. This scene brings full circle how snakelike Cam really is: he's trying to charm Luce with trinkets, and while the idea of giving someone you like a gift is a nice gesture, the snake imagery is too much for us. #overit
Quote 2
We had to talk about the shadows eventually, those dripping, whispering cretins that follow Luce around and wreak havoc wherever they go. They just seem extra oppressive in this scene, mingling with the smoke from the fire—which makes us wonder if they have the capacity to start fires, because that's totally something they would do, and that would explain a lot.
Quote 3
Then there was a jagged stroke of light, something that looked like a tree trunk with branches—no, like a torso with long, broad limbs. A pulsing, almost violet column of light hovering over them. It made Luce think, absurdly, of Daniel. (10.147)
A complete juxtaposition against the shadows that were present only moments before, this glowing purple radiance saves Todd and Luce from the burning library. Luce probably thinks of Daniel because…maybe it was Daniel? Dun dun dun. Too bad Daniel couldn't be bothered to actually save Todd, but whatever, we quibble.
