“What do you want?”

Kaz, staring Matthias, a firm pineapple on pizza hater, in the eye while ordering a pizza: I would like one large pizza with extra pineapple please
Kaz has done a lot of horrible things, but he would never do that.

Nina glanced from Inej to Kaz and saw they both wore the same expression. Nina knew that look. It came after the shipwreck, when the tide moved against you and the sky had gone dark. It was the first sight of land, the hope of shelter and even salvation that might await you on a distant shore.

Six of Crows characters as B99 quotes:
Kaz, to Pekka Rollins: Every time you talk, I hear that sound that plays when PAC-MAN dies.
Inej: Crime bosses are monsters. Except for you [Kaz], you're fine.
Jesper: The English language can not fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts. So I'm incorporating Emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.
Nina: All men are at least 30% attracted to me. My mother cried the day I was born, because she knew she would never be better than me. At any given moment, I'm thinking about one thing—Nikolai Lantsov hunkered over eating dog food. I feel like I'm the Paris of people. I'm exquisite.
Wylan: Yeah, I might buy my shoes at a kids store and yeah, I might be scared of geese, but I am a damn good Dreg and I will not be made a fool of.
Wylan, about Van Eck: My dad always said, "Bad news first because the good news is probably a lie." Fun fact—he made me cry a lot.
Wylan, about Jesper: He is so strong but so gentle. He's like an enormous, muscular Ellen DeGeneres.
Matthias when he first joined the Dregs: Of course, totally. I mean, why would a death threat be a big deal? Oh, that’s right because it threatens death!
Matthias, to Kaz: Dude, just admit you ruined everything and turned our lives into a living hell. No biggie.
Kuwei: I've only been part of the Dregs for a day and a half, but if anything happened to them, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

King of Scars has a cover and I think Imprint outdid themselves. Illustrator is @billelis (check out his work, it will make you want to take up necromancy and adorn yourself in jewels—if you haven’t already). Designer is the amazing Ellen Duda. All of the little details will make sense in time…
More on the cover and links to preorder. (King of Scars releases on 1/29/19.)
Some of you have been asking if it’s necessary to read the Shadow and Bone trilogy to understand Nikolai Lantsov’s story. I’m not sure how to answer that. I’m currently revising King of Scars and trying to make it as accessible as possible for newcomers, but there’s a lot of backstory and mythology in the original trilogy… It’s a tough call.
As for the Six of Crows duology, one of the main characters from SoC is a POV character in King of Scars. @fiercereadsya will reveal who it is at the first ever Grishaverse meet up at Yallwest this weekend.
Hope you guys love the cover! Now I return to the revisions cave.

NINA ZENIK
nina had grieved for her loss of power, for the connection she’d felt to the living world. she’d resented this shadow gift. it had seemed like a sham, a punishment. but just as surely as life connected everything, so did death. it was that endless, fast-running river. she’d dipped her fingers into its current, held the eddy of its power in her hand. she was the queen of mourning, and in its depths, she would never drown.

I want @lbardugo to know that I got a 93 on a presentation about Language of Thorns. I have severe anxiety about public speaking and usually freeze up and stutter. This time in class I was so excited to tell my class about my favorite author and one of her books that my presentation went so well I got a 93% and my professor said I was a poised and confident speaker
I am so proud of you! (ftr I still get nervous when I have to give speeches ❤️
