Wow. It took me a while to get into this book due to college taking up a lot of my time and being in a reading slump, but once I got sucked in, I couldn't put the book down. I loved being able to see each character's point of view and learning about their backstories. Normally, I don't really enjoy separate POV's, finding myself naturally gravitating to and waiting for a specific characters chapter. But this book? I enjoyed each character's point of view equally, and I sped through these chapters like crazy.  The overall story and backstories of each character are all so fleshed-out; I loved being able to piece together bits of the story over time. I especially enjoyed the plot twists -- nothing is ever as it seems. And I absolutely adored seeing the growth that the characters went through. I truly truly hope that Crooked Kingdom lives up to my expectations because my expectations are to the moon from Six of Crows.

The first few chapters were boring but things really picked up from there. All the POVs were interesting and I enjoyed how the characters worked together. I’m eager to see where the gang goes from here

surprisingly not overhyped, Six of Crows is an incredibly tense, funny, emotional, and well-written story about found family committing an insanely impossible heist.

the relationships between all of the characters felt so real and while i wish the cast was aged up (in their twenties instead of their teens) i throughly the way they spoke to each other. all of their relationships felt real (even with the contention) and the successes and happy moments felt incredibly well-deserved. 

i can’t wait until i can get my hands on the sequel.
