That letter was your whole future, you daft prince. It was my past. I lost that the night my parents died. But I found you, Deryn. Maybe I wasn't meant to end the war, but I was meant to find you.

Becoming pretty doesn't just change the way you look, she said. No, David said. It changes the way you think.

I like my first lines short and declarative. No complicated sentences. Of course, that's not really a Scott thing. It's pretty classic grab-the-reader technique.

The world needed more fireworks- especially now that there was going to be a shortage of beautiful, useless things.

She wasn't here to gawk. She was an infiltrator, a sneak, an ugly. And she had a mission.

Money's the same, whoever gives it to you. That was the point of money, after all: crisp and clean or wrinkled or disintegrated into quarters - a dollar was always worth a hundred cents.
