“You still may die in the Dregs.’
Inej’s dark eyes had glinted. ‘I may. But I’ll die on my feet with a knife in my hand.”
ahhhh the roses on Sankta Lizabeta’s handle. Now that’s some detail.

Zowa. It simply meant “blessed.” That was the word Jesper’s mother used instead of Grisha. We’re zowa
, she would say to Jesper as she made a flower bloom with a flick of her fingers. You and me.
This makes me so happy.

Ulla reached into the pockets of her skirts and pulled out the shard of glass from her dressing table.
She held it up to the mirror, finding the right angle, finding herself in the reflection. There. The two mirrors reflected each other, infinite ruined girls in infinite ruined hallways—and infinite voices that grew, one on top of the other, the note building and building. First a chorus, then a flood.

He’s damnably handsome. Brave in battle, smart as a whip. An excellent dancer, oh, and an even better shot.
Apply here!
oh this is excellent.

seven years ago you ran a con on two boys from the south. farm boys too stupid to know any better. you took our trust and then you took our money and then you took everything. can’t quite recall? you duped us out of everything. i buried your son, i buried him alive, six feet beneath the earth in a field of rocky soil. i could hear him crying the whole time, begging for his father. papa, papa. i’ve never heard a sweeter sound. you want your boy? what right does your son have to his precious, coddled life? how is he different from me or my brother? all this time talking while your boy is lost in the dark.

thank you, Leigh Bardugo

thank you, Leigh BardugoHi, @lbardugo . I know you probably will never see this but I just wanted to thank you for writing Six of Crows. That book holds a really really special place in my heart, not only for it being bloody amazing but because it was the last book I ever talked to my dad about. He passed away last year after a 7 week battle with cancer. I remember he was diagnosed as I was reading Six of Crows for the first time and it was a little tradition of ours for him to sit with me and let me vent about my books (I grew up with two older ‘cooler’ brothers and, don’t get me wrong I do love them and they love me, but they tortured me for being a book nerd). He was the only one who would encourage my reading and he bought me as many books as he could. Anyway, it was mid September when I finished it and I was crying and I rushed downstairs to talk to my dad about it. In a time when he was drifting away from us and we were so distanced from each other, but your incredible writing brought us back together, if only for a few moments and I can’t even begin to thank you for giving me that memory with my dad that I will always treasure.
Thank you, Leigh
Lots and lots and lots of love.
This post means so much to me. I lost my dad to cancer ten years ago and the sadness still sneaks up on me sometimes. I’m sorry you’re carrying this kind of grief now, but I’m glad Six of Crows is part of your good memories with him. Sending you all of my love.
