A review by halfcactus
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

This is pretty much an adult novel packaged/marketed as YA⁠—I refuse to believe the characters are teenagers, so I age them all up in my head. I found the banter/het romances kind of flat (I firmly believe that the women are too good for the men), not to mention it has both its women be in the exotic prostitutes line of work... :/ I do like some of the characters (Nina and Jasper are particularly interesting to me), I just feel like the writing doesn't get there yet. Maybe in the next book?

On the other hand, the author seems to have a GREAT hand at hurt/comfort tropes, and there are a couple of scenes in the first half of the novel that went straight to my id.
