wow. it only took me eight years to realize that jesper has a crush on kaz for the majority of the series. 😑

«Dirtyhands had come to see the rough work done.»

THAT’S MY BOY 👏🏼 GO GET THEM

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

I’M CRYING BLOOD

KAZ AND INEJ 💔

«I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.»

«When Nina looked at Kaz, she couldn’t quite believe her eyes. “Saints, Kaz, you actually look happy.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” he snapped. But there was no mistaking it. Kaz Brekker was grinning like an idiot.»

Me: *suddenly regains hope in humanity*

«The bone didn’t set right, and he’d limped ever after. So he’d found himself a Fabrikator and had his cane made. It became a declaration. There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.»

What a man. What a legend.

MY HEART IS LITERALLY POUNDING OUT OF MY CHEST

«I wonder what Matthias would have to say about that outfit.”
“He wouldn’t approve.”
“He doesn’t approve of anything about you. But when you laugh, he perks up like a tulip in fresh water.”
Nina snorted. “Matthias the tulip.”

Inej & Nina making fun of the boys is one of my favorite things about this book

«He still went by Kaz, as he always had, but he stole the name Brekker off a piece of machinery he’d seen on the docks. Rietveld, his family name, was abandoned, cut away like a rotten limb.»

This. This is the moment the legend was born.

«I should close his eyes, thought Kaz. But he knew if he climbed down the ladder and waded back into the sea, he would never find his way out again. He’d simply let himself drown, and that wasn’t possible anymore. He had to live. Someone had to pay.»

Spine-chilling. Heartbreaking. Shocking. I’m traumatized for life.
