There’s a moment in chapter 28 of Six of Crows that really sticks out to me, when Nina and Inej are watching the group from the Menagerie arrive at the Ice Court and Nina says, of Tante Heleen: “How does she keep from collapsing under the weight of those diamonds? They can’t possibly be real,”. Inej replies that they are definitely real and her internal monologue goes on to say “those jewels had been purchased with the sweat and blood and sorrow of girls like her”. There is something so immensely, indescribably poetic about it being those diamonds that get them out of the Ice Court. We even have a moment when Inej takes the diamonds to Jesper and Wylan later and Jesper says that Kaz told her to steal a diamond ‘he didn’t say to steal Heleen Van Houden’s diamonds (!)’ and this massively sticks out to me as well because these diamonds are recognisable and they’re recognisable to Jesper who not once so we see interact with Heleen. Those jewels mean something and they mean terrible things but Inej Ghafa steals them, Jesper and Wylan turn them into a drill, and the three of them steal a tank from the Ice Court and get away with it. Inej Ghafa makes that happen; Inej Ghafa uses the pretty staple of the blood and sweat and sorrow of girls like her to make such an immense statement and to take the first step towards her journey on the Wraith hunting slavers

Kaz: I dont put ideas on the back burner. I put them in a box under the floorboards, where the ever-louder beating of their hearts drives me slowly to madness
Inej: Perhaps a journal would be better?

Just want to put this out there: you are not less of a fan if a movie or show adaptation led you to reading the books.

Wylan: Where are you going???
Jesper: to the bathroom
Wylan: You can’t leave me alone with her. This is exactly the kind of social situation I am not comfortable with!
Jesper: What kind of social situation are you comfortable with?
Wylan: 😐
Jesper: You’ll be fine!
Wylan: …
Jesper: Okay, you won’t, but I’ll be back in two minutes
