I absolutely love this book. I reread it fir the second time and it was still interesting. The characters and their love was so entertaining. The POVs of characters were not  as confusing except no matter how may times I read the actual heist i can not pin point the location or anything for that fact. But I loved the book. The whole vibe the characters, however i usually forget that these are kids my age.

I understand the hype for this series. Night and day for me from Shadow and Bone where I felt the characters were lackluster and the action felt really contrived. In comparison, Six of Crows is full of complicated and morally ambiguous protagonists and compelling, "what will happen next" sort of action. The twists and turns were endless, and the characters all had rich and well-developed backstories that gave you an interesting perspective on why they act they way they do. This book felt like a fantasy version of Oceans Eleven with traumatized teenagers, and I loved every minute of it. It all worked for me.

Anyway, AHHHHHHHH! 100% lives up to the hype. Found family is amazing! Everyone has a devastating backstory! It’s just perfect! 

Do check trigger warnings.
