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

This book took way too long for me to finish but it was a very good read. I enjoyed it so much and it was so different from the books I've read before.

I love how Kaz always has a backup plan and that he could easily read people. He honestly shocked me the first time. I guess that's what happens when he grew up in such a traumatizing environment not fit for a child. The way Pekka Rollins scammed him and Jordie and to the point that his anger towards Rollins just builds up over the course of years.

And I was NOT expecting Jesper to be a Fabrikator. I never would have thought our favorite sharpshooter was a Grisha. His chemistry with Wylan gives me comfort despite the cruel setting of the story. And Nina has such a bubbly personality which made me love her! I was so happy to see her interacting with Inej because I really think they needed each other's comfort.

As I reached the end of the story I was not expecting Van Eck to say that about his son. I mean, I saw the betrayal coming but not the way he easily admitted to Kaz and the others how he hated his son just because he couldn't read. Wylan is a very good character and I'm glad he left his father.

But then again, there goes the fact that they don't have the thirty million kruge and INEJ. Kaz was finally warming up to her and even wanted her to stay with him in Ketterdam. I guess I'll have to find out all of their story in the next book. I'm looking forward to it but judging by the way Leigh Bardugo wrote this, I'm kind of scared for my life once I start Crooked Kingdom.
