Quote #7
Six days before Esmé's fourteenth birthday, her left eye turned from brown to blue. It happened in the night. She went to sleep with brown eyes, and when she woke up at dawn to the howling of wolves, her left eye was blue. (3.P.1)
All adolescents expect to see some pretty drastic physical changes over the course of time, but not like what Esmé goes through. How do you go to sleep with two brown eyes and wake up with one vividly blue eye? It's unnerving, to say the least.
Quote #8
"Or they can use your eyes as windows and climb inside you, shoving their dark animus into your soul and filling it, like brutal fingers thrust into a child's glove." (3.3.11)
The Druj like to partake in a creepy and terrifying pastime—taking over human bodies and walking around in them. It must be weird to try on and shed different bodies whenever you want to.
Quote #9
Grown up. How little those words had meant to Mab then! Surrounded by changeless Druj, what did she have to go on? Kittens growing long and lean? Deer sprouting antlers to clash in the rut? (3.7.19)
Mab has no idea what it means to grow up because she's been around the immortal Druj all her life. All she knows is that she's suddenly gotten her period and that her body is changing.
