Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

YUP! YUP! i get it now. me giving a YA 5 stars????? bonkers. in my opinion, this didn’t read YA at all. the only reason i can see why this is marketed as YA is because there’s no smut and the characters are supposed to be teenagers. the characters actually read like adults to me. i feel like they’ve lived so many lives already with all of their different backstories and they’re not annoying/dumb like some teen characters can be. this was so good!!!!! once you get past the gibberish at the beginning of all the fantasy terms, you’re golden. the plot and story are very straightforward and easy to follow as long as you don’t spend too much time worrying about what all the specific terms mean lmao. but the real highlight is the characters and their relationships with each other. like yessss found family!!!!! yessss subtle but heart wrenching love!!!!! i’m obsessed. i didn’t read the shadow & bone trilogy bc i haven’t heard great things, but i will be checking out the show bc i heard the crow club is in it and i need to see what the cast looks like
