Teaser Tuesday No. 3: Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo

Welcome to "Teaser Tuesday"!!


This meme is hosted by  Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker every week, and the rules are very simple.

RULES

* Grab you current read.

*Open to a random page.

*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere

on that page.

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

(Make sure that what you share doesn't

give too much away! You don't want

to ruin the book for others!)

*Share the title and author, too, so that other

TT participants can add the book to their

TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


Note
Since I'm a slow reader, I don't have a new book
started every week. I am therefore going
 to bend the rules a little.....
I'll be featuring books I want to read,
that are currently sitting on my shelves.

Here are my teasers!

Nina's eyes glinted green fire. She took a step toward him, and he could feel the rage radiating off her. "Maybe you're the ones who shouldn't exist, Helvar. Weak and soft, with your short lives and your sad little prejudices. You worship wood sprites and ice spirits who can't be bothered to show themselves, but you see real power, and you can't wait to stamp it out."  -- Chapter 19, page 232

"Some people see a magic trick and say, 'Impossible!' They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. Other people ask how it worked. They go home, get into bed, toss and turn, wondering how it was done. It takes them a good night's sleep to forget all about it. And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they're the kind who won't rest until they've mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I'm that kind." -- Chapter 29, page 346

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone…A convict with a thirst for revenge.

A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager.

A runaway with a privileged past.

A spy known as the Wraith.

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first.

I don't remember when I bought this book, but it was at a Books and Books store in Coral Gables, which used to be a Miami neighborhood that eventually turned into a small city, even though it's right smack in the middle of Miami. It has its own City Hall, mayor, and everything else that goes along with a city. 

Books and Books started out as -- and still is -- an Indie bookstore, although the owner, Mitchell Kaplan, has expanded to several stores. There's one in Miami Beach, another in Key West, another at the Miami International Airport, Grand Cayman Island, and more! Just click on the link above to go to their website.

This book was signed by the author, which, of course, made me VERY happy! It's supposed to be a GREAT YA read, and Bardugo has a LOT of fans in the YA genre book public!

What do you think of my teasers?
