crooked kingdom countdown: week 4: favourite characters(s) 3/3 - Kaz Brekker
Again and again, Kaz thought of those
few crucial seconds when he’d let his attention shift to Inej instead of
keeping his eyes on Van Eck. It wasn’t a mistake he could afford to
make again. That boy had betrayed his weakness in a single glance, had
ceded the war for the sake of a single battle, and put Inej— all of them—
in danger. He was a wounded animal who needed to be put down. And Kaz
had done it gladly, choked the life from him without pause for regret.
The Kaz that remained saw only the job: Free Inej. Make Van Eck pay. The
rest was useless noise. (x)

“Zealot,” she said weakly.
“Witch.”
“Barbarian.”
“Nina,” he whispered, “little red bird. Don’t go.”

Since it’s NaNoWriMo, I thought I’d repost this helpful 4 Essential Elements You Need For A Good Story.
Oh, fuck it. I forgot the snake again.
That’s why I’m a bestselling writer. I NEVER FORGET MY BASIL.

A little Kaz excerpt...
Crooked Kingdom is on sale TUESDAY. About to head to NYC to gear up for our launch at the Strand and tour. Hope to see you guys on the road! (If you come, pleeeeease tell me your twitter handle or blog name. I love meeting people from tumblr and twitter irl <3)
Anyway, thought I’d share a little Kaz with you guys to celebrate…
For the briefest moment, Kaz and Van Eck sized each other up from across the bridge. Kaz couldn’t help but be reminded of when they’d faced each other this way seven days ago. He’d thought too much about that meeting. Late at night, when the day’s work was done, he’d lain awake, taking apart every moment of it. Again and again, Kaz thought of those few crucial seconds when he’d let his attention shift to Inej instead of keeping his eyes on Van Eck. It wasn’t a mistake he could afford to make again. That boy had betrayed his weakness in a single glance, had ceded the war for the sake of a single battle, and put Inej— all of them— in danger. He was a wounded animal who needed to be put down. And Kaz had done it gladly, choked the life from him without pause for regret. The Kaz that remained saw only the job: Free Inej. Make Van Eck pay. The rest was useless noise.
Dirtyhands had come to see the rough work done.

None. It hadn’t yet aired when I was writing SoC. Stay safe and spoiler free, young murder babies.
