Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
Six people, but a thousand ways this insane plan could go wrong.
NO review, just a few quotes about who is Kaz Brekker, the way he thinks, and what he looks like in the eyes of friends and enemies:
“And Kaz Brekker?”
“A liar, a thief, and utterly without conscience. But he’ll keep to any deal you strike with him.”
*****
“There’s something wrong with you, Brekker. I don’t know what you are, but you’re not made right.”
*****
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
*****
“I trade in information, Geels, the things men do when they think no one is looking. Shame holds more value than coin ever can.”
*****
“I’m a business man,” he’d told her. “No more, no less.”
“You’re a thief, Kaz.”
“Isn’t that what I just said?”
*****
“Greed is your god, Kaz.”
He almost laughed at that. “No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.”
“And what god do you serve, then?”
“Whichever will grant me good fortune.”
“I don’t think gods work that way.”
“I don’t think I care.”
*****
“Men mock the gods until they need them, Kaz.”
*****
“That’s what he wants, not what he needs,” said Kaz. “Leverage is all about knowing the difference.”
*****
A secret’s not like coin. It doesn’t keep its value in the spending.
*****
Survive. Survive. Survive. It was the way he’d lived his life, moment to moment, breath to breath, since that terrible morning when he’d woken to find that Jordie was still dead and he was still very much alive.
*****
No one is stronger. You’ve cheated death too many times. Greed may do your bidding, but death serves no man.
