This book was recommended to me by my daughter who had just finished it and loved it.
Very enjoyable would recommend

it was ADDICTING literally so good

Wow I love every single one of the main cast, especially all their relationships with each other. I love how there are some complicated relationships and how character driven the book is. I do however keep automatically thinking of the characters as mid 20 despite knowing they're only around 16-18 😂 I think this would have been that much better with slightly older characters

Six of Crows is such a character driven story. This characters, man they're all so amazing and well-developed. I loved all of them but especially Nina and Inej, I'm so in love with Nina and Inej, my Queens.

It was hard to get into at first. Fantasy hasn't really been my cup of tea lately, I have been reading a lot of contemporaries so it really was a major switch to read this book. But the world is so great and amazingly built. I love Leigh Bardugo's writing style, it's easy to read and so much fun.

I was kind of disappointed with the ships in this book, I don't really ship Kaz and Inej or Nina and Matthias. However, I do ship Jesper and Wylan hardcoreeeeee.

I can't wait to jump into crooked kingdom, it's laying beside me as I'm writing this review so I'm definitely going to read it ASAP.

A 5-star rating because of the diverse and awesome characters.

One word: Amazing. 

Only it was a little unbelievable that the characters were 16 to 18; I kept thinking of them as adults. But it's okay; it's fiction, I guess. 

I loved every aspect of this book and cannot wait to read the sequel. Because, damn, the ending.
What a cliffhanger.


It started off okay, not that great, but when it started picking up pace, that was the only book I was picking up (forget my textbooks). I loved looking into multiple characters' views, and not just, like, two main ones or something. I loved the dynamic with each of the "crows" especially Kanej and Helnik. Ugh. They are so beautiful. I loved how each story was a branch of a bigger tree and each backstory led to one main plot. It was so beautifully woven together, like, Bardugo did a fantastic job. 

Every chapter/POV was just the right amount of words and had the right amount of distinction, so it was such an easy read. I was completely in love with Kaz's POV of course. (I think I have a thing for morally gray MMC).

Now it's time for the sequel :>
