I absolutely LOVED this book. The worldbuilding is great, the characters are interesting, the dialogue is both intriguing and fun, and the pacing of the plot is incredible. I can't wait to read the second book in the duology and find out what happens to our Crows!

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.

I found it quite hard to get into this book as it took a while for the plot to get going and the start was pretty confusing, but once I was about halfway through I was deeply invested in all the characters and intruiged by their backgrounds and the storyline. Each character is really interesting and unique and my favourite part of the book was discovering some of their stories. This book is also very well written with sophisticated and effective use of writing techniques. Leigh Bardugo has a clear and interesting voice that is very enjoyable to read.

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.
