Okay, dang, where do I even start with Six of Crows? I LOVE THIS BOOK WITH ALL MY HEART. I first read Six of Crows back in late 2017, and I just loved it from the beginning until the end. The plot, the characters, the world, and just the writing style? Loved it. 

I’ve never so strongly loved and admired fictional characters than I have with Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Nina Zenik, Jesper Fahey, and Wylan Van Eck. (let’s forget about Matthias Helvar, shall we?) In each of them, I found parts of myself that I had often pushed away or dismissed about myself. These characters are by no means perfect, but that is why I love them. They’re all incredibly flawed.

six of crows was actually my first read of the grishaverse, which many might not agree with, but it was easy for me grasp the concept of the world and ketterdam.
we are given characters that we are meant to hate but instead we are drawn to them as we learn more about their backstory and trama, we understand them and relate to them.
i can’t even rank the crows they all hold specific parts in my heart but i heavily relate to wylan for a massive amount of reasons.
