I adore SOC. The characters, their motivations, their backstory, and how all these different characters interact with each other. Intense, has you on your toes.

Okay, so I goofed up and read “Six of Crows” before I read “Shadow & Bone,” but honestly I’m glad that I did. “Six of Crows” was a well-written, fast paced crime adventure that I couldn’t put down!

The way I describe this book to anyone who hasn’t read it is: “Ocean’s Eleven” set in Imperial Europe, with one of the most unique magic systems I’ve ever read. 

Each character is diverse and interesting enough that I didn’t dread when a chapter changed perspectives like I do with other books. Leigh Bardugo successfully balanced a larger cast of characters and made sure each got enough time devoted to them to further the book’s plot and subplots while ensuring there were no redundancies.

After reading “Six of Crows,” I read everything else in the Grishaverse because I became ~obsessed~ and still believe that this book is Bardugo’s most well written and most compelling book.
