I really liked this book, much more than the shadow and bones books. 
Though as the previous ones, it took a while for me to really get into. If I didn't it would have gotten 5 stars.

Once I got inyo it, it was really hard to put it down for me. We got different POV's(which was a bit confusing at first), and everyone actually had their own unique backstories and personalities. 
Can't wait to read the next one. Probably tomorrow.

im no longer the last person on earth to not have read this! and finally having read it, i get why six of crows is so hyped and its fanbase so passionate. 

tbh it's not like there's a lot of ~deep~ substance to the book, but no one can deny that it's rollicking, entertaining, adventurous fun. the characters and their dialogue, imo, are the crux of this book; the former is distinct and i actually like everyone on the crew (the character development's particularly satisfying), and the latter made me smile on almost every pg bc of how clever and witty it is. 

i havent read a lot of heist stories, but this one's pretty enjoyable, though a tad predictable. and although the worldbuilding isnt sth out of the ordinary, it's interesting enough and serves its purpose, and the machinations of the ice court is intriguing. i also rly like the themes and many of the opposing conflicts, like grisha vs normal folks; decency in a cruel, greedy world; hatred and loyalty. cant wait to see what (and i already know there'll be some deaths) awaits the crew in the sequel.

It’s a fantastic book however the ending does feel a tad unfinished but I’m sure that’s because it’s setting up a cliffhanger for the sequel! So it’s a solid 5 stars from me
