In a whisper, she asked, “Who is who?”

“What?”

“There were never any photographs. I don’t know them. Who’s who?”

“Oh.” He couldn’t breathe, then finally said, “Well, this is Missy, the oldest.

UGH THIS BOOK IS SO SAD!!

TAAAATTTEEEE

This book is giving me such intense heartache 😭 she writes about loneliness so well

He took her shoulders and kissed her for a long time.

“Goodbye, Kya.” For a moment she looks somewhere over his shoulder and then into his eyes. A chasm she knew to its greatest steps.

“Goodbye, Tate.”

y’all this book is WRECKING ME

“What happened?”

“A poem,” he muttered, “an ode; a long, tiresome, incredibly stupid ode, wrought for the occasion by old Senator Tuscus, who, having reached that rightness of senescence where time and eternity are mistaken for each other—“

“Sounds as if you’d arrive there, too,” broke in Lucia. “Can’t you speed it up a little?

“Don’t hurry me, impatient youth.”

LOL

Kuwei poked his head out of the huge stone tomb as they approached.

“What did I tell you?” Kaz growled.

“My Kerch isn’t very good,” protested Kuwei.

“Don’t run game on me, kid. It’s good enough. Stay in the tomb.”

Kuwei hung his head. “Stay in the tomb,” he repeated glumly.

lol

“Do you understand?” She nodded frantically, chin wobbling. “Now, now, no tears. Monster see tears and it only whets their appetites.”

When she was gone, Atlantic slipped out from behind the door. “How could you say something like that to her? She’s just a child.”

“We were all just children once.”

Brutal

“First, you must crawl into bed. And second, you must never tell anyone you’ve seen us, especially your da.” He lean forward and gave Hanna’s braid a playful tug. “Because if you do, I’ll slit your mother’s throat and then your father’s, and then I’ll cut out the hearts of all the sweet slobbering hounds. I shall save Duke Silverhaunch for last so that you will know it’s all your fault.”

GEEZ

“That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t want to like a Grisha.”

“I do like you.”

“What was that?”

“I do like you,” he said angrily.

She beamed. “Now, really, was that so bad?”

“Yes!” He roared.

LOL

“It’s not natural for women to fight”

“It’s not natural for men to be as stupid as they are tall, yet here you stand.”

“Dirtyhands had come to see the rough work done.”

bro

“Then I’ll take you there. We’ll set fire to raisins or whatever you heathens do for fun.”

“Zealot,” she said weakly.

“Witch.”

“Barbarian.”

“Nina,” he whispered, “little red bird. Don’t go.”

“I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”

Speak, she begged silently. Give me a reason to stay.

Wowwww this exchange was so good UGGHHH

YESSS TAKE THAT BITCH’S DIAMONDS!!

The aching his lungs was unbearable. He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn’t pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he began to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.

“Neither do you, Kaz.” She laughed, and if he could’ve bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have.

The sun was out for once and Inej had turned her face to it. Her eyes were shut, her oil-black lashes fanned over her cheeks. The harbor wind had lifted her dark hair, and for a moment Kaz was a boy again, sure that there was magic in this world.

🥺🥺😩😩😩

“The life you live, the hate you feel—it’s poison. I can drink no longer.”

GOOOOO MATTHIAAASSS

He was a true traitor at last, and he should carry the burden of it.

Omg omgomgomgomg

WHAAATTT???

For a brief second, every horror came back to her, and she truly was a wraith, a ghost taking flight from a body that had given her only pain.

Man the writing is very good much nice 👌🏻

“Prepared to hear the sound of certain doom?”

“You’ve never heard my father mad.”

“That sense of humor is getting progressively more barrel appropriate. If we survive, I’ll teach you to swear.”

CUUUUTE

WAIT. Is this.... ROMANCE?!

Been a while since I’ve been up until 3am squealing over a book. Feels nice.

OHOHOHOHOHOOOKAAAAY

Holy crap little Kaz!!! KAAAAZZZ

“You love trickery.”

“I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue.”

WYYYLAAAN you cutie 😂😂😂

Bro Jesper is actually so dope fighting this earth bender Grisha dude. The Grisha is pushing the earth up around him and sending him flying, but he is still firing killing shots as he barrel rolls through the air.

The Grisha rammed a fist upward, and Jesper was thrown off his feet by a shaft of earth. He rolled as he fell and fired from the ground.

“Fine. But if Pekka kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”

“I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”

“My ghost won’t associate with your ghosts,” Matthias said primly.

LOL what. These guys are murderers.
