Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)

by Leigh Bardugo

Besides, she was the Wraith—the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too.

“There’s something wrong with you, Brekker. I don’t know what you are, but you’re not made right.”

“Men mock the gods until they need them, Kaz.”

You’re a blackmailer—” “I broker information.” “A con artist—” “I create opportunity.” “A bawd and a murderer—” “I don’t run whores, and I kill for a cause.”

“Well, it’s been a pleasure being knocked unconscious and taken captive by you, Van Eck. You can be sure your hospitality will be repaid when the time is right. Now have one of your lackeys show me to the door.”

Our hopes rest with you, Mister Brekker. If you fail, all the world will suffer for it.” “Oh, it’s worse than that, Van Eck. If I fail, I don’t get paid.”

“If I want to watch men dig holes to fall into, I’ll find myself a cemetery.”

“Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?”

He’d once seen her make eyes at a pair of shoes she fancied in a shop window.

The life of a flirt 😂🙄

Being angry at Kaz for being ruthless is like being angry at a stove for being hot.

Then just turn the stove off...

Nina crossed her arms. “I’m mad at you, too.” “Me? Why?” “I don’t know yet. I just am.”

Me everydayy

“Don’t I have some say in this?” complained Wylan. “I’m sitting right here.”

Bro Wylan I get it... I get it

“Always hit where the mark isn’t looking.” “Who’s Mark?” asked Wylan.

🤣🤣😭 He is so meee 🤣😭😭😭

Kaz leaned back. “What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?” “Knife to the throat?” asked Inej. “Gun to the back?” said Jesper. “Poison in his cup?” suggested Nina. “You’re all horrible,” said Matthias.

I bet you speak Fjerdan about as well as I speak moose.” “Moose is probably your native tongue,” mumbled Wylan.

Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you’ll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won’t matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.

Jesper always felt better when people were shooting at him.

Jesper could never tell how much of what Kaz got away with was smarts and planning and how much was dumb luck.

Probably a good amount of both

He must be running. Her body jounced painfully against his chest with every lurching step. He couldn’t carry her and use his cane. “I don’t want to die.” “I’ll do my best to make other arrangements for you.” She closed her eyes. “Keep talking, Wraith. Don’t slip away from me.” “But it’s what I do best.”

It was possible he’d fractured the bone again. Inej’s weight wasn’t helping, but when Jesper stepped into his path to offer help, Kaz shoved past him.

Umm excuse me?!?! Is he calling her heavy?!?!

He could feel its presence on the ship now, looming over them, ready to take his Wraith.

AHHH!!! HE CALLED HER HIS!!! EEEEEE

“My Wraith

He called Inej his again 🤭

She wouldn’t wish love on anyone. It was the guest you welcomed and then couldn’t be rid of.

“Fine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.” Brekker’s lips quirked. “I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.” “My ghost won’t associate with your ghost,” Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.

“Would it kill him to smile every once in a while?” Jesper asked. “Very possibly.”

The old answers came easily to mind. Money. Vengeance. Jordie’s voice in my head silenced forever. But a different reply roared to life inside him, loud, insistent, and unwelcome. You, Inej. You.

“No mourners.” “No funerals,”

“I’m going to pay someone to burn my kruge for me.” Kaz fell into step beside him. “Why don’t you pay someone else to pay someone to burn your kruge for you? That’s what the big players do.” “You know what the really big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone to…”

He’d been close to girls—not many, it was true—but none of them had been like her. She was indecently round.

Are you calling her fat?!?! Gosh, i can't believe the guys in this book! First Kaz basically calling Inej heavy and now Matthias calling Nina fat!

“The trick is not getting knocked down,” he’d told her with a laugh. “No, Kaz,” she’d said, “the trick is in getting back up.”

My girl is so wise. She deserves better
