Holly Black: emphasizing the brutal, horrific nature of fairies, vampires, and magic in general with the strong implication to not glorify those things. In fact repeatedly killing characters who do.
Me: romanticizing fairies, vampires, and magic even harder.

I wanna talk about the weird Holly Black Vampire Pandemic Book, please. Can I please just talk about the road trip with vampires and a weirdo guy, please? He was such a little weirdo and they tried to put him in skinny hot boy jeans and he was still so deeply freaky, I loved it.

I’m rereading The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, still the best job of any book I’ve read at making being a vampire simultaneously sound really really cool and really really awful.

It’s funny reading any of Holly’s love interests prior to Cardan and seeing just how nice they all are (messed up sure, but terribly gentle with their significant other, even prior to getting together).
And then you sit down to an author discussion and find out the reason Cardan Is Like That is because Holly kept on handing the manuscript over to reading partners, and Leigh was like ”he CAN BE MEANER. MAKE HIM MEANER” and that is absolutely hilarious, and also explains Holly’s departure from her classic love interest archetype.

«and if i never change back? if i’m not human enough anymore?»
he smiled; she could feel it against her skin. «then we’ll go hunt vampires together and you’ll drink their blood.»
«the lady or the tiger,» she said.
«my lady, the tiger.»

That was the problem with monsters. Sometimes they looked just like everybody else.
