A review by entirelybonkerz
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

I am so happy this was my first 2021 read. I read this so slowly, because I needed to savor every single word before it ended. I wanted to be there, I didn't want to miss a single second.
The shadow and bone trilogy bored me to death, the characters almost killed me with how much they annoyed me. Tell me, how is it possible that Leigh was able to create this masterpiece after making me hate her first series with an unfair amount of strength?
The characters... The characters in this book are so dense, intense, multilayered, deep, amazingly crafted, I think I could make a list of 300 different adjectives and it wouldn't be enough. They are all real people to me and I will fight you if you say otherwise. They exist and I love every single one of them with all my heart (except you Mathias, the only thing I love about Mathias is how much he loves Nina, I mean, who doesn't?)
I really hope Netflix doesn't fuck this up. I will cry real tears, I will sob. I will pull my hair out of my skull because they cannot destroy this magnificent book.
This has been added to my favorites and I will read Crooked Kingdom as attentively as possible because I don't think I want to live in a world where Kaz doesn't exist. Thank you very much.
I sense the worst book hangover of the century coming. Ugh, it hurts.
Just do yourself a favor and read this right now. And no, this book does not have ANY romance at all and it still managed to be the most romantic book I have ever read in my life. You can look back at all of the quotes I shared on my profile, they will prove to you I am right.
