Yeah I fackin love this series, so good, Alex is such an awesome antihero!! I’m so pumped to see where this goes in the next installation and am thrilled that this didn’t disappoint! The writing is fantastic, the plot is so engaging, I will say the book is maybe a little longer than necessary, but man oh man did I love it anyway!

As convoluted and detailed as the first! It all comes back around, and every little thing tied in. And I mostly followed all of it. Great character building and witty writing. Can’t wait for the next!

i definitely think i prefer the first book more, but i did have a blast reading this. Leigh Bardugo is just so clever at creating a perfect atmosphere and setting with her books, and i really think she suits the gritty, dark adult genre more than she suits the ya genre (although i love six of crows so much). i'm very excited to see what else Alex and Darlington and Dawes have to deal with, and will definitely be picking up the final instalment. 

i also went to a book event to celebrate the launch of hell bent and got to meet Leigh! had a blast with my friends and got six of crows signed <3
