A good read. Slow at the start but you can tell it is to set up the plot. Kaz is so badass. Definitely reading book 2 as the cliffhanger is unbearable. “Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are.”

Although this takes place in the same world as the Shadow and Bone series, I liked Six of Crows a lot more. Each character's backstory was interesting and the plot was very engaging. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.

filipacmiranda's review against another edition

4.5

The plot starts slowly by introducing each character and the city of Ketterdam while establishing the relationship between the city and the Grisha universe. The story is told through the POV of five of the six crew members who carry out the rescue/heist. Although, upon rereading, I understood what might have led the author not to include Wylan's (also known as "the warranty") perspective in this first book, I believe it could have sometimes enriched the narrative. 

Once the heist begins, the story gains a better pace, with events aligning perfectly and shaping a plan whose intricacies we gradually become familiar with. Six of Crows is an exciting read, with characters we may not identify with right away but for whom we end up rooting wholeheartedly. 

Somewhere between fantasy and action, without forgetting subplots of romance, chosen family and second chances, this book definitely raises the bar for Leigh Bardugo's writing.
