Discover the Fascinating Story of Nina Zenik The Heroine That Changed Everything

Welcome to the newest installment in my Reading Lists Feature, a series of posts where I compose reading lists for and inspired by different characters. These are all books that I feel fit into the character’s aesthetic and personality, but also books I feel those characters would love to read. You can check the previous posts (Ronan Lynch, Hermione, Ron and Kaz Brekker) HERE.

Even though I think all of Six of Crows characters are wonderful, Nina is by far my favorite. She is so sensuous and charming, spunky and really in touch with her powers. Also, she has a wonderful friendship with Inej and I love their relationship. She is kickass. THIS is the definition of a powerful female character.

Nothing like a Bardugo book for a Bardugo character. Of course Nina would enjoy this. Princess Diana kicks ass, and so does Nina. Female friendships, and just general girl power . Nina would absolutely LOVE it.

More female friendships . I feel like Safi and Iseult could very well translate to Nina and Inej. But this celebrates female friendships, and I love it. There’s also really great magic, and I personally love Iseult’s magic and the way she does it. Also there’s great action here and all around fun. Just like Nina.

I don’t know why, but I feel Nina would really be into pop culture. This is an essay collection on unruly women – those who are too fat, or too loud, or just plain too much. It explores how society brands women like that and how it treats them, and how different female celebrities are breaking barriers. I think Nina is an unruly women, in the best possible way , and I think she would definitely see herself in these essays.

I think Nina would enjoy an occasional Romance novel. Especially one as well written as this. It’s a hate-to-love romance, and there’s so much tension, just like in the case of Nina and Matthias. It’s basically the ultimate Nina x Matthias pick and I am here for it.

Ah yes, my favorite comic series. It’s about friendship and feminism, getting through university, making bad choices and just life in general. Incredibly funny, heartfelt and smart. All things Nina is and would love.

Now, this isn’t an immediately obvious Nina pick. But I think Nina would enjoy Evelyn Hugo as a character. A passionate woman who knows what she wants? I think this book is rather emotional as well, and even has some forbidden romance. Saucy. I think Nina could get behind that.

So those are my Nina picks! Let me know how you like them, and let me know if you have any picks of your own!

RIGHT, SO HERE'S MY FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR??? insane.Nina was tasked with finding those aiding in the escape of rogue Grisha from Ravka. Her last report before being captured by the drüskelle was that she was crossing the Fold with the Conductor and three Grisha defectors from Ketterdam.

Nina is held up at a boarding house in Novokribirsk, where she works with the Conductor to smuggle out deserters from the Little Palace. As she awaits the Conductor's arrival, Nina is attacked by the drüskelle — Fjerdan soldiers. She attempts to fend off her attackers but is outnumbered and subdued.

Nina is shackled and placed in the lower deck of a ship with other Grisha prisoners bound for the Ice Court, where they will face trial. Nina questions just how many Grisha are ever found innocent by Fjerdan law, but Matthias Helvar doesn't reply. She then notices the bola hanging from his coat and realizes that he assisted in her capture. Nina was under the impression that the drüskelle respected their women, to which Matthias replies that Grisha are not women.

While his comrades are distracted, Matthias brings Nina food to eat. When she accuses him of trying to poison her, he takes a bite to ease her suspicions. Maybe not poison, Nina admits, but she suspects that Matthias at least wants something in return. He admits that he needed answers, asking if her parents are also Grisha and if she was born Grisha or became one by choice. It becomes clear to Nina that Matthias and the drüskelle know very little in the ways of the Grisha. All he knows for certain is that they're enemies and that Heartrenders such as herself use magic to stop hearts. Nina explains that Heartrenders can also soothe tempers and calm those in pain. Matthias then asks Nina about the Darkling, but she would rather starve than be a traitor. Still, Matthias offers her a bite of food. Nina reluctantly takes a bite only to spit it in Matthias's face.

The ship headed for Fjerda with Grisha captives is shipwrecked. Nina manages to escape her shackles and find refuge on a sheet of deck wood along with an unconscious Matthias. She uses her abilities to save his life, which he is less than grateful for. He pushes away and falls into the water, accusing Nina of being a trickster. He questions why she saved him. Admittedly, they need each other: Matthias' strength to swim to shore and Nina's Grisha powers to keep the two of them warm.

Nina and Matthias wash up on shore and search for shelter, though they are unsure exactly where they have landed. They arrive at a lodge in a deserted whaling camp, where Nina proceeds to undress from her cold and wet clothes to keep warm. She offers to help keep him warm but only if he undresses as well. Matthias relents and snuggles up behind Nina, who details how Matthias is cold and clammy like a squid. She places her hand over his chest and warms his body before resting. You're welcome, you big idiot, she says in Matthias' native tongue.

Matthias awakens next to Nina and jumps to his feet, claiming that he can't wait to be back in his own bed, but Nina would beg to differ. He questions why she speaks in such a lewd manner, especially in comparison to Fjerdan women who are typically more modest and pious. Fjerda women are caretakers and the men are protectors, whereas in Ravka, the men and women fight together. Matthias claims that it's not natural to fight as so, to which Nina retorts it's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall and yet, oh, there you stand. She proceeds to challenge Matthias to a fight, which earns a bit of laughter, much to Nina's surprise.

Nina and Matthias travel on foot through the cold. Matthias insists that they're not lost and that drüskelle are trained to overcome any situation. She tells him to relax, but Matthias pulls away. She questions why that is, suggesting that he's afraid that he might begin to like her. He's scared that if he likes a Grisha that he might start to think of them as human. Matthias then admits that he does in fact like Nina, despite the fact that she's horrible, loud, and lewd. Jarl Brum always warned them how charming witches could be. Matthias wonders if this could be yet another one of Nina's tricks. Nina amusingly refers to herself as the wicked Grisha seductress who beguiles innocent men with her Grisha wiles. She then begins to tickle Matthias, a smile forming on his face followed by laughter. Suddenly, the ice gives away and Nina nearly falls into a seemingly bottomless pit. However, Matthias saves her, though not without at least considering letting her go. The two then exchange names rather than referring to one another as witch and drüskelle.

Six Of Crows, A Wonderful Universe: Nina Zenik The Grisha

Nina and Matthias arrive in the town of Arkesk. Matthias intends to go north in the night, but Nina doesn't wish to separate. She proposes they find somewhere where they can be together, somewhere where they're not simply labeled as Grisha and drüskelle. Should he leave, he could never go back to Fjerda, as he would be court-martialed as a deserter. And Nina would be branded a traitor to all Grisha. Matthias has only known two countries his entire life: his and Nina's. He asks what the others are like. She mentions Kerch and the Wandering Isle. Just as they're about to kiss, Matthias' stomachs growls.

Nina and Matthias go downstairs for waffles, during which Nina overhears a Kerch man saying that he hunts
