4.0

I had a good time while reading this book, but I thought I would get much more attached to the characters given the hype I'd heard from others. It is a good character study--and who doesn't like a good heist plot?--but the plot itself felt a bit predictable for me.

I also ended up not liking the main ships that much, but I think that may be because the characters felt distant through the multiple viewpoints. It was all a bit disjointed and I failed to see the chemistry between some of them. That may just be my preference for one narrator though.

Overall, a good read, and I'll be reading the next in the series. 

=== 

On reread after Crooked Kingdom: 

After learning more about the character backstories, I felt much more connected and invested in their stories throughout the book. Wylan and Jesper in particular - I wish there had been Wylan POV in SoC. Multiple POVs really do throw me off, so the reread (and particularly the audiobook) made that easier. Still not 100% on board for Nina/Mattias, but fell hard into shipping Wylan/Jesper and Kaz/Inej. 100000% would die for any of these kids!

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
