I finally fell into the Six of Crows hype after putting it off for so long and my gosh this book didn't disappoint me. It sure lived up to the hype for me. Honestly what kept it from being a 5-star was due to how confused I was on how their world works and trying to imagine everything that was happening. I did not read the Shadow and Bone trilogy prior to this book so that might be on me. Although I still think you can read them separately; however, for me, I do like to understand and gain some context on what I'm reading. Overall I really enjoyed this book and all its characters. I'll definitely be continuing on to Crooked Kingdom.

i meaaaaaan the author is hugely popular and the book has great reviews. not a surprise i liked it.

positives: clever writing and well fleshed out world. characters are diverse and each feels like they have their own world going on. plot is a fun heist style so it keeps me on my toes.

negatives: sometimes it felt very hamfisted in trying to make kaz a cool guy. i just felt like he was shadow the hedgehog sorry!! also i know they grew up fast cause they had hard lives, but i still wish the characters werent teens. 

read this book if you like high fantasy with some grit to it. its only a little tense and suspenseful.
