How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
There was no thrill in seeing him, as she had thought there would be. All she could think was, He will be dead within a year. How did Maura bear it? (1.75)
Seeing the dead isn't as easy or fun as Blue thought it would be. Now that she knows this Gansey kid is going to die in the next year, she feels absolutely awful. After all, he's young… just like her. Why would he have to die?
Quote #2
"I've been dead for seven years," Noah said. "That's as warm as they get." (4.63-64)
Ha ha, Noah. That's a great joke. Except… Noah isn't joking at all. He's telling the bald truth when he tells people that he's been dead for seven years, but they never believe him. What's a ghost to do?
Quote #3
Noah didn't say he would go along, and Gansey didn't ask him to. Six months ago, the only time it had ever mattered, Noah had found Ronan in an introspective pool of his own blood, and so he was exempt from ever having to look again. (9.40)
Poor Noah. He's had to deal with so much death in his lifetime… and in his afterlife. It stinks for him to find Ronan after his suicide attempt, and so he avoids being in situations where he'd be the one to stumble across him again.
