Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)

by Leigh Bardugo

His greatest vulnerability had been right beside him. And now she was gone.

Inej had wanted Kaz to become someone else, a better person, a gentler thief. But that boy had no place here. That boy ended up starving in an alley. He ended up dead. That boy couldn’t get her back.

I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.

Don’t kid yourself, Brekker. Cut your losses and live to fight another day.” “I fight every day.

Van Eck is going to put you in the ground.” “Others have tried. Somehow I keep coming back from the dead.”

We better hope Van Eck kills that boy.” “Why?” “Because otherwise I’ll have to.”

The problem of Kaz Brekker could wait to be solved another day. Right now there was money to be made.

She’s spent her whole life being told she’s too big, too loud, too much—and that’s basically me.

What do you hope readers will take away from Six of Crows? A desire to commit crime.
