Quote by Leigh Bardugo
““Kuwei moaned and slumped down against the wall. He cast a baleful glance at Nina. “You should have killed me at the Ice Court.” Nina shrugged. “But then Kaz would have killed me and Matthias would have killed Kaz and it would have gotten incredibly messy.” “I can’t believe we broke out of the Ice Court but we’re trapped in our own town,” Wylan said. It didn’t seem right. “Yup,” said Jesper. “We are well and truly cooked.””
