inej’s trauma manifesting through disappearing yet she fell for the boy who knows sleight of hand and the trick to not only making the coin appear again, but knowing that it was never gone in the first place

I (almost) have no words. Oh my gosh. There’s so many details. I will have to put it in bullet points.

Kaz oh my gosh you fucking genius

WESPERRR THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH

Kaz hijacking Wylan’s music and making Jesper write it out lmfao

’I miss our Fjerdan’ um ow

Kaz, you need to get a hobby that does NOT involve poisoning yourself

(talking to the guy who literally swallowed explosives)

’we’re all dying every day, Merx, I’m just doing it with more style’ Kaz you’re such a diva

I love how it implies Kaz actually DOES hang out with Wylan and Jesper with some consistency

Like actually hangs out with both of them and takes Jesper places

I’m so glad they’re healing

But also Jesper you grew up on a farm wtf were you in college majoring in agriculture? Idk, I know nothing about agriculture, maybe it was more the business side of it? It is Ketterdam after all. Or he just didn’t know what to major in and so went for that. Like a liberal arts degree.

BUT ANYWAY

‘Trust me to protect you’ ‘I’ll return to Ketterdam and to you. No mourners’ ‘Wait for you by window, always. No funerals’ THEY ARE IN LOVE YOUR HONOR

Like when I cracked the code and read that I thought I might actually cry for a moment

and guys I don’t do that

They love each other so much

Imagine poor Merx just about to go to a meeting being so proud of himself for discovering the truth and about to bring justice and Kaz is just standing outside his door like ‘I think not’

Never change your eerie self Kaz Brekker

"We're all dying every day, Merx. I just do it with more style."

I wanted to share some of my favorite parts so spoilers below :D

going a little feral over the way that the "secret messages" between kaz and inej in the letters kind of parallel lines from the duology.

With "I"ll return to Ketterdam and to you," Inej is telling Kaz directly that she is coming home to HIM, just like how in ch. 44 of crooked kingdom, she tells him that she's not done with Ketterdam and that it's worth saving, more subtly implying things under the surface about him that we only read in her narration.

"Wait for you by the window always," as this promise that he will always be there waiting for her, paralleling his promise to always come for her.

"Trust me to protect you," as a much improved vow to protect her, rather than calling her an investment.

idk there’s just something about that detail that really makes me hyper fixate on their relationship because jesper wanted kaz romantically and we know pretty clearly that kaz saw jesper as a brother (calling him jordie when they had their cute little fistfight moment in CK)

also ketterDAM kaz why were you pulling left and right during those books like everybody wanted a chance to see if dirtyhands lived up to his reputation if yk what I mean…

(but he only has eyes for the beautiful glorious perfect queen that is inej ghafa and like yes honestly same)
