Holly Black Quote

You could still be lying, says the Roach. He turns to Cardan. Try her.Your pardon? Cardan says, drawing himself up, and the Roach seems to suddenly remember to whom he’s speaking in such an offhanded way.Don’t be such a prickly rose, Your Majesty, the Roach says with a shrug and a grin. I’m not giving you an order. I’m suggesting that if you tried to glamour Jude, we could find out the truth.Cardan sighs and walks toward me. I know this is necessary. I know that he doesn’t intend to hurt me. I know he can’t glamour me. And yet I draw back automatically.Jude? he asks.Go ahead, I say.I hear the glamour enter his voice, heady and seductive and more powerful than I expected. Crawl to me, he says with a grin. Embarrassment pinks my cheeks.I stay where I am, looking at all their faces. Satisfied?The Bomb nods. You’re not charmed.
