Quote #4

My missin him makes my whole body ache. It's like...emptiness. (2.92)

Maybe this is what Lugh meant when he said that love makes you "weak." Do you agree with him? Based on just the events in the book, we're not sure if Lugh is right. There are plenty of examples of love making Saba strong, for example.

Quote #5

Heat burns into me. Crawls over my skin. A trickle of sweat runs down my chest. I pull out the heartstone tucked safe inside my vest. It's warm. No. Hot. (6.285)

If you recall, heartstones are said to get warm when the wearer gets closer to the object of their desire. And Saba is getting close to Jack at this very moment. Coincidence? No way. Saba doesn't realize it yet, but she's just landed herself somewhere far more frightening than a fighting cage: in love.

Quote #6

I'm lookin fer one person but I cain't see him nowhere. Silver gray eyes an a crooked smile. (6.599)

Saba becomes obsessed with Jack before she really gets to know him, even putting her life at risk to save him from a burning prison. You don't do that for just anybody.
