Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
'The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.'
'We are all someone’s monster.'
'Jer molle pe oonet. Enel mörd je nej afva trohem verretn.'
______
A crew.
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.
One heist.

I'd say by reading this book I had come to add another author in my favourite list and another book theme to read. I was not fond of fantasy themed book, for my lack of imagination and find it hard put everything into the picture, but this one sure set everything right for me to venture the journey along my reading.
A definitely smart, brilliant story and idea. A meticulously written and developed on the storyline. Great characters, charming indeed; Kaz who seemed to always know what ahead him, and he seemed to always ahead of everything; Inej a brave (though I would say it's an understatement, she's definitely more than that) female character I would be fan-girling over; Nina and Matthias, a lovable pair; Jesper and Wylan, indeed these two, the perfect imperfect addition to the crew -- and together they created the ultimate dynamic ambiance in the whole crew, the whole story.
The whole story was really engaging, a page-turner indeed. Nothing is draggy and nothing in under-information at all. I love the emotions brought in this book -- too many of them, too many good of them. And definitely spare me the romance too, I'd savoured them. Everything was precisely right, and this book certainly is for me.
