We did it friends, we completed not only the #whinybabymoodreaderchallenge book #1 BUT we had a great time doing it.

Six of Crows is an exciting YA fantasy novel that deserves the cult-like status and praise it regularly receives. 

Albeit this novel started a little cumbersome with a ragtag group of misfits coming together for the ultimate score, it quickly transfigures into a white-knuckle ride until book #1's conclusion. Bardugo keeps you guessing how these little criminals are going to make it out alive but hey, no mourners, no funerals, right?

It's hard not to love each character in their own special, terrible way. I think this book is about the terrible friends we meet along the way that dig themselves under our skin like a hungry tick. 

A gritty and fun duology that will remain a staple in any fantasy lovers shelf.
