Six of Crows is absolutely amazing! After I finished I literally felt empty, because I thought I would never read anything as good again. I mean, after that I read the second book, but yk ;). All the characters are so well written and the book keeps you on your toes with plot twists and Kaz Brekker the mastermind xD. You will really fall in love with all the characters (even Matthias). 
The story follows a group of (traumatized) criminal teens, who end up trying to pull an impossible heist. The story is set in 18/19 century-ish Ketterdam(which is based on the Netherlands). It can make you cry and laugh in the span of a chapter, while other times you will just sit there in shock thinking “how in the world did Leigh Bardugo even come up with this?!” (In a good way ofc). I would 100% recommend this book! It also dives into some triggering topics though, so be safe and check tws before reading! >:3

6/5. I just finished the book and I cannot believe how much I loved it. I heard so many good reviews so going into it I lowered my expectations just in case I didn't like it (since I found "Shadow and Bone" a struggle to get through). But Oh. My. God. This. Book. I screamed, laughed, had to put the book down, had to hit the book, had to re-read many scenes, and had to just lie there with the book open on my head. It elicited every kind of emotion, mostly one of deep, deep yearning to hug all these characters very tightly and never let go. The plot was also just so unbelievably, beautifully planned out. The world, the politics of it were fascinating. I think, honestly, part of my immediate immersion into the world was fueled by my love for the cast of the "Shadow and Bone" Netflix series (they are legit perfect). However, I know I still definitely would have loved it regardless. Found family trope is one of my favourites. I could say a million more things but I'll leave it at this: Kaz Brekker needs so, so much therapy. Highly, highly recommend. (the book. and I mean therapy too.)

p.s., I currently do not have access to Crooked Kingdom, please pray for my sanity 🙏

Oh my god I finally read this book and I love that so much I gave it 4.75 stars because of the very confusing world building. After a while, I started figuring out how everything works or at least that it doesn’t matter that much and I don’t have to remember every single name, but in the beginning was quite something. 
I am in love with every main character, especially Inej and well every crow and I love the little romance going on. If you know you know, I never like Matthias, though, I never did. Nina can do so much better!!
I love the ice court heist!! It was so interesting and funny, but I have no idea how to imagine that and that’s why started watching the show Shadow and bone. But I’m honestly so disappointed because first of all I didn’t like the shadow and bone triology, and the show is mainly about that, and I only love the the crows. Also, the show was not like any of the books and that make me really mad. I just wanna watch the heist not some other random mission. Anyways I need to read a different genre now, but I’ll come back for Crooked kingdom!
