The Creatures Back Breached The Waves, Its Body Cutting Through The Water In A Sinuous Arch, Rainbows

“The creature’s back breached the waves, its body cutting through the water in a sinuous arch, rainbows sparking off the iridescent scales on its back. Rusalye.”

Siege and Storm, Ch.3

“I just lost thirteen good men,” Sturmhond said quietly. “Don’t tell me it was all for nothing.”

Siege and Storm, Ch.5

“I knew what had to come next. That isn’t true, said a voice in my head. You can walk away. Leave it be. Again, I had the sense that things were moving too fast. But I couldn’t just throw an amplifier like this back into the sea. The dragon had already given up its life”

Siege and storm, Ch.5

“This was like nothing I’d felt before. It was an animal, a creature of infinite fire that breathed with the stag’s strength and the sea whip’s wrath. It coursed through me, stealing my breath, breaking me up, dissolving my edges, until all I knew was light.

Too much, I thought in desperation. And at the same time, all I could think was, More.”

Alina, Siege and Storm Ch. 7

OhMyGods, I need more of this evasive, morally flexible Nikolai!!!

SIX OF CROWS SPOILERS

“[Nina] wanted to scream her terror, bring Zoya running, beg for someone to save her, but she wouldn’t risk the others’ lives. The drüskelle rowed her to a ship anchored off the coast and threw her into a cage belowdecks full of other captive Grisha. That was when the real horror had begun."

Nina Zenik, Six of Crows Ch. 14

Every time I think about this it breaks my heart a little bit more. Nina knowing exactly what fate she's headed towards, but still refusing to do anything that might endanger her the others.

This witch had been crafted from the darkness between the stars.

“I think not, Prince,” she said in her midnight voice. She sniffed again, her nose crinkling slightly. “But would you bleed red, or black?”

“I’ll bleed whatever color you tell me to.”
