A review by yinlin
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

"A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse."

I honestly did not expect to like this at all. I first heard about this book when my friend told me about it, and I must say, I doubted for a while if I was even going to read it. But I am so glad I decided to pick this up. This is such an amazing book, and even though it was slow and confusing in the beginning, it totally took me by surprise. Towards the end, I actually gasped from one of the twists, and books rarely get that reaction out of me.

And let's not forget about the characters in this book. I truly loved all of them very much, and me loving all the characters in a YA series very rarely happens. But these characters are just so well crafted, and their dynamics with the rest of the characters might just be the best thing I've ever read. Usually I don't like when all the characters seem to have a significant other meant for them, but in this book, I actually loved it. I found myself loving especially Nina/Matthias a lot more than I thought I would.

I have so much more I want to say about this book, but I'm just gonna end this here and tell you all to go read this book right now.
