To Conquer, To Seize Ketterdam

Indeed, small things can cause big changes. A big twist.

Kaz was scouting this place, scouting for his target until his eyes landed on her, who waved and bid Alina farewell. He recognized her quickly, Her H/C and E/C everything, resembling the sister he had long lost. And when Alina also quickly bid farewell by saying her name, he was certain.

It was her, it was his sister he had been looking for, who he lost during that fateful day, and he couldn’t feel any happier to finally have her back in his life. Quickly announcing that there was a change of target, throwing everyone off guard with that, they laid out another plan.

Matthias and Inej would sneak attack, Nina and Kaz would stand on guard, while Jesper grabs them a carriage and a horse to get away with, and Wylan creates a distraction.

“Kaz, who even is she?” Nina whispered harshly.

“None of your business,” Kaz spits out, eyes cautiously waiting for the right moment.

When Y/N got into her room, closing the door shut, Kaz quickly signaled the others to take action.

Caught off guard, they managed to hold Y/N down, mostly Matthias as he was much stronger than the others.

But that didn’t stop her from retaliating back, stepping on Matthias' foot with her heels, making him release her. She quickly pushed him away, but any more attacks against him were stopped by Inej who was holding her back. Jabbing Inej with the album, she was about to run off to call the guards, before Kaz and Nina interrupted and stepped in.

“Nina!”

“I know damn it!” She quickly moved her fingers, lowering Y/N’s pulse. She quickly falls unconscious, Nina catching her.

“You better explain, Brekker, once we get back,” Inej said sternly, rubbing where she got jabbed.

“We should focus on getting out of here,” Nina says, hearing the guards approaching.

Everyone nodded and quickly got onto their escape plan.

–

Blinking her eyes open, Y/N took her surroundings. She was in a carriage and realizing she was with the people earlier who kidnapped her – did not help her ease the panicked state she was in earlier as well. This time was just worse.

“You’re awake,” Kaz speaks up.

“What do you want?” Y/N tried to be brave, but the way she held her arms tightly said otherwise. Kaz knew that body language, it was the same when she used to hide behind him and Jordie.

“We don’t want anything,” He stated.

“That’s bullshit,” looking away from his brown eyes, Kaz didn’t answer.

‘Should I just break the window? It could be risky though,’ She thought to herself, trying to form an escape plan in her head. ‘I wish my brothers were here..what would they do…?’ She thought bitterly to herself, yet it gave her comfort thinking about her brothers.

Minutes passed, and the others began to have a little chat to which Y/N could care less about, but noticing that their attention might be elsewhere, she took her chance in opening the carriage door when Kaz looked at Inej, telling herself to stay calm, she jumped out of the carriage, feeling leather brush against her arm, her heartbeat quickens, but she managed to land on the ground on the right time before it could fully reach her. However, she lands on a hill, making her automatically roll down. She could hear the carriage being thrown into chaos in the distance.

“Woah! Woah! Is she insane?!” A male voice yells, “Where did she go?”

“What the hell?!”

Landing on her feet again, she quickly ran off into the distance, not caring about the fact she was covered in scars and bruises from the impact of the fall and the nice stroll down the hill, her feet aching, and she was getting more and more drenched by the rain per second, the wind harshly blowing against her.

Her adrenaline was kicking in, she could almost hear her own heartbeat. ‘I need to hide..!’ her mind was a mess, scattered, afraid that they were going to catch up, and it didn’t help her ease her mind one bit when hearing someone yell, “She’s over here!”

‘I want to go home…I want my brothers…’ There were many things she wanted, many things she wished for.

‘Run!’ Three letter words her brothers had once screamed to her as they were being ambushed. Kaz and Jordie were trying to hold them back as best they could as she ran, ran as fast she could, just like now.

Trying to shake off the past as it wouldn’t help her, she tried to find a hiding spot, figuring her legs would soon give out, unfortunately, they did as she stumbled on a root. But she couldn’t hear their voices anymore, it was just the sounds of leaves and rain. She didn’t even notice how cold it was while running, until now. She tried to pry her body up, but she couldn't as her own body felt too heavy for that, her breathing shortened and she leaned back against the tree, trying her best to hide behind it. But feeling reassured that they weren’t near as she couldn’t hear or see them, she gave in to the darkness filling her sight, just for a moment.

–

Y/N opened her eyes. She noticed how warm her body was, her breathing is heavy, but something cold on her forehead. Turning her sight to the side, her eyes were met with her capture.

Room, she was in a room. Torture room? Basement? but the environment felt too comfortable for it to be one of those.

“Where..” She was too tired, she felt exhausted.

“In The Slat, my bedroom,” the guy answers, his brown eyes piercing through her, “You..passed out..and have a fever..”

Trembling? His voice was trembling like he was reminded of a past.

“Why..why would you do such a reckless thing?! You got yourself injured, you got yourself in danger! What if we didn’t find you?” He raises his voice, making her flinch.

“Isn’t it normal for someone to try and escape when kidnapped?” She scoffed,

‘Did he really think that someone would just sit still, and accept it like it was a normal day thing?’

“Especially by a stranger?” She adds.

Kaz looks up, “Stranger? You don’t recognize me?”

‘Recognize him? Am I supposed to?’ She questioned herself trying to dig up her memories,

‘Now that I think about it he does look like Kaz..but his haircut is terrible, no way it’s him.’

“Am I supposed to?”

“I’m your brother!” He cries out, “You really don’t remember me..?”

“...” Y/N blinked, completely frozen to even utter a word,

No way that was him, no way. She was told they were dead, all of them,

“No..they all died, they all died…I don’t know who you are but…!--”

“I survived! Not Jordie…but me..!” She could tell he was pushing every sorrow down his throat, drowning all the guilt he felt for being the only one who survived that day, let alone using Jordie as a..

“What was our plan…?” She whispered quietly.

“To conquer, to seize Ketterdam,”

Silence filled the air until a sob was heard. The warmth of his sister engulfed him. Kaz flinched, trembled, and held his breath at her touch, at her arms hugging him tightly with the energy she had.

Noticing it, her touch went to feather-light one,

“I thought you died…I thought…, they said you were dead..that..” She couldn’t bring herself to say anything anymore.

But Kaz knew, knew what she was going to say, she didn’t need to say anymore.

“But, I’m here…I’m here…” He finally got the courage to hug her back, although the touch was very light, and he had to take a deep breath each second, he also felt a bit at ease. To know she was here, breathing, her heart beating, alive.

“And, I’m here too..” She mumbled, words so reassuring he felt so at ease. Although they wished Jordie was here to say the same, to engulf them in his warmth as well, both's warmth was enough for now.

Silence prevailed between those two as he let go, and she laid back down.

“You really didn’t recognize me?”

“I think it’s the bad haircut,” She laughs lightly.

“It’s not that bad,” He scoffs,

“Whatever you say,” She bantered back.

The silence between them settled again, and she soon felt too exhausted to hold her eyes open.

“Rest,” Kaz refreshed the cloth, putting it on her forehead, “Everything is going to be alright,”

She closed her eyes, Y/N could hear him repeating the same apology for being so brutal earlier over, and over again, until a smile was plastered on her face, and muttered before she completely drifted off,

“I missed you,”

Words of forgiving, words of honesty. And maybe she couldn’t forgive him for what happened earlier, but it was at least the truth from the bottom of her heart, as there wasn’t a single night in the past where she wished to be beside her brothers, happily laughing and finally be at peace.

Jordie may not be with them anymore to experience it, but they were going to carry his peace together.

Six of Crows - Kaz

* * * * Mild Spoilers * * * *

I did not expect to like Kaz Brekker’s character so much when I started this duology. Based on Inej’s first description of him in chapter two of Six of Crows—like, her very first paragraph, that description—I pictured him as an actual mob boss of some sort, which I suppose is how Inej sees him to an extent, but is very much at odds with the boy narrating chapter three. Chapter three Kaz Brekker does need a reason for everything he does, it’s just that most people don’t see his reasons, much less appreciate them.

His brutality did catch me off guard. I can’t remember what the last book I read before Six of Crows was, but its main character certainly did not have a man shot and left bleeding to death at the very beginning. Partially because of that unexpected brutality, and partially because I did picture him as an actual boss of some sort—as in, an adult—I kept Kaz at a distance for the first few chapters of Six of Crows during my first reading, unsure of what to think of him. By the time I got halfway through the first book, I loved this guy.

He seems to me like an ultimate foil. He complements everyone in one way or another. His practicality is at odds with Inej’s moral compass and Nina’s sentimentality for Matthias, even though he does allow himself some small moments of following a moral compass and feeling sentimental; he’s responsible enough to keep Jesper in line and reckless enough to pull Matthias out of his comfort zone; he simultaneously manipulates Wylan as a potential hostage and shows him how to grow up to be his own person. Kaz plays a significant enough role in every character’s life to severely impact how they each develop throughout the series. Beyond the fact that Kanej is one of my all-time favorite ships, Kaz’s friendship with Jesper and mentorship of Wylan make up some of my favorite character dynamics in the series.

Something I find interesting is how closely Kaz manages his reputation, and the particular moments that he fails to do so. He’s considered ruthless and heartless by other people, even by Inej to some extent. She does open the story by telling us that although Kaz has reasons for everything he does, she can “just never be sure they were good ones.”

But as we watch, we see that—conveniently—the people he makes sure are with him for the Van Eck job are the very people who need his help most, and that the reward for the job will conveniently give them all everything they need. We see that he refuses to take advantage of innocent children the way he takes advantage of corrupt adults—a stipulation that reveals him to be more sentimental than he is given credit for. His care for Jesper is genuine and reminiscent of his relationship with Jordie, and he lets his guard down where Inej is concerned—even taking a measure of comfort in the fact that she is the only one who could know that he passed out in the wagon on the way into the Ice Court. He never hurts Alys, despite being absolutely furious with Jan Van Eck, and gives Wylan a way to take his father’s fortune despite that being completely unnecessary for the success of the Crows’ auction plan.

These are things that a completely ruthless and heartless person wouldn’t do. The reader’s access to Kaz’s moments of weakness ensure that we can see him transition from Kaz “Dirtyhands” Brekker to a combination of Kaz Brekker and Rietveld. And I do believe that by the end of the story, he has become something closer to Kaz Rietveld without abandoning everything that he has built as Kaz Brekker.

And his intelligence is staggering to me. The plot of Crooked Kingdom in particular is incredible, because we see so many pieces of Kaz’s plans throughout the book, and are still unable to understand what about the plot is and is not supposed to happen until we see how unfazed he is by what’s going on around him. Even though I knew the second time I read the book that Inej would be traded back to the Crows in exchange for Alys, I still panicked when it seemed like they were walking into a trap. I still hardly believed it when the Dime Lions actually managed to surprise Kaz with Dunyasha and the attack on the cemetery. It says a lot about how well a character’s intelligence is built up in a story when readers actually don’t believe it when they’re finally duped.

Again, I must wonder how Bardugo put together the plot of Crooked Kingdom? Did things just fall into place partially by chance, or was this really all mapped out to this extent…?

Anyway, Kaz Brekker is an amazing character. And he’s an amazing character on his own, even without considering his beautiful relationship with Inej.
