"Magic was like a special guest in Sin's life. It appeared all too rarely, stayed for a brief interval, and she spent the rest of her time preparing for it to come again. She had taken the day off school so she and her dancers could set up the lights. She and Chiara had spent an hour singing into Phyllis's new music boxes, which echoed back their voices transformed into strange, sweet melodies. Then she'd had to rush away and help Carl set up his display of knives with luck stones in the hilts." -The Demon's Surrender by Sarah Rees Brennan

Yeah, this is kinda a wistful opening, but also a strange and interesting one! Must reread more! What about you guys? Happy reading!
