• 2019 Books. ⋙ Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo

“Isn’t that how things are done around here?” asked Wylan. “We all tell Kaz we’re fine and then do something stupid.”

more information about the Netflix grishaverse adaption from @lbardugo‘s newsletter

highlights include:

• discussions have been held about the ‘themes at the heart of all of the Grishaverse books, the characters we want to bring into play early, and how best to meld together the timelines of the various stories.’ 
  
• Netflix has taken on not just the Shadow and Bone trilogy, but the Six of Crows duology, and The Language of Thorns as well. 
  
• they are not just smashing together the timelines.
  
• leigh’s analogy for the show - I’ve been thinking of Season 1 as getting Book One of Shadow and Bone and Book Zero of Six of Crows.
  
• they’ve also talked about how to bring more diversity into play early in the Shadow and Bone narrative. as leigh says ‘That means some of the characters aren’t going to look the way they were described on the page—and that’s the way it should be.’

Books posters : Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for ‘good luck’.

alekzandermorozova:

It was chaos. Chaos of her making. 

I did this, she thought wonderingly. I commanded those corpses, those bits of bone, those dying cells. What did that make her? If any Grisha had ever had such a power, she’d never heard of it. What would the other Grisha think of her? Her fellow Corporalki, the Heartrenders and Healers? We are tied to the power of creation itself, the making at the heart of the world. Maybe she should feel ashamed, maybe even frightened. But she hadn’t been made for shame. 

Perhaps Djel extinguished one light and lit another. Nina didn’t care if it was Djel or the Saints or a brigade of fire-breathing kittens; as she hurried east, she realized that, for the first time in ages, she felt strong. Her breath came easy, the ache in her muscles had dimmed. She was ravenous. The craving for parem felt distant, like a memory of real hunger. 

Nina had grieved for her loss of power, for the connection she’d felt to the living world. She’d resented this shadow gift. It had seemed like a sham, a punishment. But just as surely as life connected everything, so did death. It was that endless, fast-running river. She’d dipped her fingers into its current, held the eddy of its power in her hand. She was the Queen of Mourning, and in its depths, she would never drown.

Jesper’s mind emptied. He wasn’t thinking of what had happened before or what might happen next. There was only the reality of Wylan’s mouth, the press of his lips, then the fine bones of his neck, the silky feel of his curls as Jesper cupped his nape and drew him nearer. This was the kiss he’d been waiting for. It was a gunshot. It was a prairie fire. It was the spin of Makker’s Wheel. Jesper felt the pounding of his heart—or was it Wylan’s?—like a stampede in his chest, and the only thought in his head was a happy, startled, Oh.
