Quote #10
In the end, they'd carried Penn's body back up the steep stone stairs to the chapel, wiped the altar clean of glass, and laid her body there. There was no way they could bury her this morning—not with the cemetery teeming with mortals, as Daniel promised it would be. (20.4)
This loss is by far the most shocking and most tragic in the book—for us as readers, anyway. For all the battling that happens, all the fighting and the fear and the infiltrating shadows, Penn's death is both unexpected and tragic. It shows the toll taken on innocent lives that are caught in the midst of this otherwise heavenly war, and the message hits home pretty hard.
