I CALLED IT

I think I know who *it* is, guys. And if I’m wrong, I will riot.

My heartbeat is actually racing omg

IM FREAKIN OUT MAN

I have so many suspicions about who the Ripper is, but I'm not sure of any of them. This is agonizing in the best way.

Thomas Cresswell must be protected. That’s all there is to it.

I’m so ready for this.

Oh thank god

WHAT

This book is giving me too much stress.

WOAH KAZ. WHAT THE HECK.

“‘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.

Kaz rolled his eyes.”

—this is the epitome of characterization 😹👌🏻

Kaz and Inej. I already ship it.

I'm really loving this so far! Kaz already has my heart. Maybe it's just because life has been so crazy recently, but I'm trying to dive into the world (it's so cozy and adventurous *drools), but I feel like my brain can't fully imagine the coolness of it all...lol. Anyone else have this problem? Also, the pages on the hardback are ginormous.

*Kaz Brekker walks onto the scene*

Me: oh, is this another sassy, misunderstood boy that will steal my heart ?

Well, everything’s just falling apart.

WHAT.

MAL????

WHAT?!?

WHERE THE FRICK IS NIKOLAI

what the ACTUAL HECK just happened

I’m usually pretty good at sensing how a story is going to end, but I honestly have no idea with this one.

It’s the most polished book of the series, and you can really see how far Bardugo has come as a writer up to this point. I love the world that she’s created.

I’m just so nervous 😂 I’m concerned for my friend Alina 🙃

I’m at work and trying my best not to screech and make dinosaur noises....

ITS NIKOLAI

I’m really loving this book so far. I think it might be my favorite of the series.

And that scene with the Darkling?!?

*shrieks*

YASSS.

“You are on your knees,” I said. “We are not negotiating.”
