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)
