OMG Six of Crows is incredible! I don't know why it took me so long to read it, but I'm glad I finally did. The character dynamics are so messy and fun; the heist keeps you on the edge of your seat; the worldbuilding is thorough (and you can see the cultural differences through the eyes of various characters). I can't wait to read the sequel!

I love Jesper so much he is like a blorbo to me.

uh yeah this was a book for me. i was literally captured from the very first chapter, and it just amazes me to see how bardugo has settled in and improved in her writing since the original grisha trilogy, which never managed to truly get me emotionally invested.

with this book, however, i was all in. i find that i really enjoy multiple povs and these were paced extremely well, managing to intersperse wonderful amounts of interpersonal and persona development with just enough mystery to keep me on my toes as a reader. one thing ive always liked about bardugo's writing is that her characters miss just enough to keep me interested -- as in theyre competent enough that i dont get frustrated but theyre also not complete know-it-alls that make the story boring.

full honesty, i docked half a star because i definitely saw the ending coming in a vague fashion, and the way it unfolded bugged me lol, but character development i guess? something for a sequel? and full full honesty?? no kissing smh smh but damn do i love emotional intimacy

l have never felt so utterly transported into a universe, like I literally felt like I was alongside the characters throughout the heist. Like, I’m glad I wasn’t because I’d definitely die, but it was still fun. 

THE CHARACTERS. I JUST LOVED THEM SO MUCH. They’re so well developed and have the best personalities. I genuinely wish they were real.

The back of the book describes it as ‘Ocean’s Eleven set in a Game of Thrones-esque world’, and it is exactly that. 

So many twists and turns, so many clever plot points, endless times when you think it’s all going to come crashing down and then suddenly the plan has been there all along and it all clicks in to place. 

Can’t wait to read the second book.

Convoluted plot lines that even the reader doesn't understand until all is said and done. Never too predictable, and we love some good bisexual tension ;)
