“I‘ll tell you a secret, Hanna. The really bad monsters never look like monsters”-Kaz
📖What a beginning to the book already. I just feel like that every word Bardugo puts to paper is intentional and meaningful.

Erin7 Interesting that there is a play on bad guys not always necessarily being bad at the beginning of both books. 6y
Jess_Read_This @BookBabe Thank you!! It was an impulse Prime Day purchase last year that has been a lot of fun! I‘ve really enjoyed chilling with my books and records on the weekend. (edited) 6y

Jess_Read_This @Erin7 Yes!! And both quotes are from Kaz, which immediately caught my attention at what she‘s trying to tell us about the character. Though, we‘ve seen his caring (or caring for him) side a few times already. (edited) 6y
LoverofLit Yes! I agree. Her opening paragraph in this book she writes a line like "stewing in the world's worst cup of tea" or something and I remember being SO impressed, from that first page! 6y
Jess_Read_This @LoverofLit oh yes... that first paragraph is striking!! I was caught up on how miserable and frigid Retvenko was when whiskey fails to warm him.. then she describes the city with that tea sentence! It‘s quite unique writing and she conveys emotions so well. I‘m finding myself more drawn to this series than her Grisha one. 6y
JaclynW Wow! It sounds like every word is intentional. That's how I feel reading Neil Gaiman. 6y
CindyMyLifeIsLit This is next on my list! 6y
