Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
I really liked this book about people in their mid-twenties! I am so glad that they are adults, and not Seventeen-year-olds! Because that would be weird!
I liked the themes of faith and tradition throughout.
I didn't read the Shadow and Bones series, but I understood the world well enough.
There were interesting ideas about prejudice and hate as a cultural legacy, deradicalization, how soldiers are instrumentalized in war, and how honor is used for that. In trying to understand, how someone comes to accepting a people group as so other and dangerous, they HAVE to be killed, it did come too close to excusing genocide for me. I'm interested to see how that developes in the next one.
