mmm i love that series
haha lucky you get to do a book report on it!.


umm idk what your report is about but heres some stuff i really liked:

"the six hoverboars slipped among the trees with the lighting grace of playing cards thrown flat and spinning!. the riders ducked and weaved among ice-heavy branches, laughing, knees bent and arms outstretched!. in their wake glowed a crystal rain, tiny icicles shaken from the pine needles to fall behind, aflame with the moonlight" (3)!. [its actually the first page of the first chapter of part 1]

"and yet she and shay always seemed to wind up on opposite sides!. was that a coincidence!? or was there something about the two of them that always turned them from friends into enemies!? maybe they were like two different species--hawks and rabbits, say--and could never be allies" (184)!.

"the tremors were soft, almost nothing, as faint as echoes of rain falling a kilometer ay!. but they were everywhere, on the skin of his face, in the muscles of his arms around her, in his lips against hers--his whole body shivering like a littlie's in the cold!. and suddenly tally could see in inside him: his damaged nervous system, the corrupted connections between body and brain" (194)!.

"she jumped, barely clearing the rocks below, hitting the waves with a slap, driving down the into the icy embrace of the water, the churning ocean spin her around, almost dumping her back on the jagged shore, but tally pulled herself deeper with a few powerful strokes, until her hands brushed the dk and sandy bottom!. the roiling water began to fall back, shifting into a riptide around her!. it pilled tally outward, rumbling in her ears, erasing her thoughts!.
she held her breath, letting the ocean claim her!."(195-196)!.

"they couldn't see how maddening death really was, how colossally pointless in every way" (305)!.

"she tasted salt again, and finally felt the heat streaming down her cheeks!. tally reached her hands up, not quite believing until she saw her own fingertips glistening in the starlight!.
specials didn't cry, but her tears had finally come" (359)!.

"be careful with the world, or the next time we meet, it might get ugly" (372)!.
