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.

Six of Crows is absolutely amazing! After I finished I literally felt empty, because I thought I would never read anything as good again. I mean, after that I read the second book, but yk ;). All the characters are so well written and the book keeps you on your toes with plot twists and Kaz Brekker the mastermind xD. You will really fall in love with all the characters (even Matthias). 
The story follows a group of (traumatized) criminal teens, who end up trying to pull an impossible heist. The story is set in 18/19 century-ish Ketterdam(which is based on the Netherlands). It can make you cry and laugh in the span of a chapter, while other times you will just sit there in shock thinking “how in the world did Leigh Bardugo even come up with this?!” (In a good way ofc). I would 100% recommend this book! It also dives into some triggering topics though, so be safe and check tws before reading! >:3

So well written, oh my goodness. Love the different points of views each chapter. And I love this ragtag group of criminal Crows. As a mobility aid user it was refreshing to see Kaz use a cane and still be a fully fleshed-out character!

I really liked the plot of the book and did not expect the ending to be so questioning! Overall I really think this fits in with the Grishaverse.

I was a little worried going into this with all the hype around it, but thankfully I really liked it. I don't think it's the flawless book some people claim, but I'd say it earns 4½ stars. 

Something that impressed me was how deftly it broached some pretty mature themes without getting depressing. Also the complexity of the characters, which is Bardugo's biggest improvement from her previous titles imo.
