I don’t understand the love for this series, or anything by Leigh Bardugo for that matter. Six of Crows definitely had a lot of potential, but I found it to be lack luster. I didn’t need, nor did I want  300 pages of character introduction and backstory. Look, If you’re boring, just say so.

Binged it after being told to read it time and again by friends. Suffice to say they were very right to tell me to read it.

Fantasy heist is a genre I didn't know I needed, but it brings so much to both genres. The characters are morraly gray and some of the most interesting I've read in a while, you're really rooting for them to succeed. It's really fast paced and will keep you hooked for hours on end, so be ready to set aside a chunk of time for it.

In the end an incredible read worth all the praise.

The main characters condone violence, two of the main characters are shown to have worked in brothels, although not with graphic detail

another has severe trauma regarding physical touch stemming from a specific incident which is discussed
