A review by whatsastory
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

This book had action, intrigue, and romantic tension in spades. It was the sort of over-the-top adventure that made me happy to click on the "suspension of belief" switch in my brain and just go along for the ride. It's been a long time since I read something with pacing this good.

The one thing I was most nervous about going into this book was the romance. I've fallen out of love with YA romances in a big way lately. Thankfully, Six of Crows was a pleasant surprise. You might not be rooting for every romance in the book, but at the very least they're well-written with regards to each character's backstory and their existing history. And who said every romance has to be perfect anyway?

Great characters, A+ world-building, and lots of twists: there's a lot of reasons I enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
