And when you arrive with your repeating rifles and your tanks, when you set upon children and helpless villages, should we not use the weapons we possess?

I want to start out by saying that I don't usually read fantasy but I actually liked this one??
This book grabbed me until the end, the plot was pretty interesting, the characters were relatable (even though sometimes they didn't sound like they were in their teens), also I love love love the found family trope.
Obviously I liked some characters more than others, but all have of the crew holds a special place in my heart. Can you tell that I got emotional attached to them? 😌

I don’t understand the love for this series, or anything by Leigh Bardugo for that matter. Six of Crows definitely had a lot of potential, but I found it to be lack luster. I didn’t need, nor did I want  300 pages of character introduction and backstory. Look, If you’re boring, just say so.

Okay well I love Inej and Nina. I actually really liked this a lot, and I didn't expect to cause YA and fantasy are things I don't tend to enjoy anymore, so I was pleasantly surprised. Odd note but I really liked that Nina was described as larger but it was never once described as a negative thing - really appreciated that.

There was no need for these characters to be like 16/17 though, I pictured them as like early to mid twenties and I found that worked a lot better. Also not a huge fan of cliffhangers so a lil' bummed about that but that's just cause I don't like reading series haha

Okay additional note: these are the kinda female characters we need in fantasy
